    Independent community grocers are the entrepreneurial backbone of the grocery industry, family-, employee-, or locally owned businesses deeply rooted in their communities. They adapt to local needs, offer quality goods and nourishing foods, and strengthen civic life through a steadfast commitment to their customers, associates, and neighborhoods.
