"In 1937, 87 years ago, Sylvan Goldman, owner of the Humpty Dumpty supermarket chain in Oklahoma, forever changed the way we shop. Before his invention, customers used to carry heavy shopping baskets, making shopping difficult. Inspired by a folding chair, Goldman designed a metal frame with wheels that could hold two wire baskets. This ingenious design not only made shopping easier but also allowed customers to buy more items, increasing supermarket sales. At first, customers were hesitant to use the carts, as they were used to carrying baskets. To overcome this reluctance, Goldman hired people to push the carts around the store and demonstrate how easy they were to use. Over time, shopping carts became an essential part of the supermarket experience, and today, no store is without them. The shopping cart has evolved from just a practical tool into a retail icon worldwide. Beyond convenience, the shopping cart has influenced store design and marketing strategies. Supermarkets began reorganizing their spaces, creating wider aisles to accommodate carts and optimize the shopping experience. This simple invention transformed the way we interact with stores, encouraging more purchases per customer. Goldman’s influence and his shopping cart are still alive today in every grocery store, showing how one innovation can change commerce and daily life."
