Our History:

Fairplay opened its first location in the Bridgeport neighborhood back in June of 1975 (known as Halsted Foods back then). Building off of a very strong meat department, the opportunity for growth looked very promising. Over the next few years Fairplay opened more locations in Chicago and eventually spread to the south suburbs. Today Fairplay is a full service supermarket offering the freshest cuts of meats, seafood, deli, bakery, product and grocery products.
