Chock full o'Nuts

Common card · No. 222340

Chock full o'Nuts is an American brand that is used for a chain of coffee shops that originated from New York City and a retail line of coffee that originated from that chain. Its unusual name derives from the 18 nut shops that founder William Black (c. 1902–1983) established with the brand in the city beginning in 1926. When the Great Depression struck, he converted them to lunch counters, serving a cup of coffee and a sandwich for five cents. The brand became popular over the next 27 years and was introduced to the consumer market through grocery stores in 1953. It is owned by Italian coffee company Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group.
