The story

In the 1880s, Hersch Harris Weingarten, a poor Jewish immigrant from Łańcut (what was then Austria-Hungary), started a grocery business in Houston called Weingarten's.

In 1948, Joseph Joe Weingarten, the eldest son of Harris Weingarten founded Weingarten Realty to build stores for his father's business. In 1980, Safeway Inc. purchased the grocery operations.

In 1985, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.

In 2002, the company acquired 3 shopping centers for $46.2 million.

In 2012, the company sold all of its industrial assets for $382.4 million.

In August 2021, Kimco Realty acquired the company.
