Many Jewish families and businesses in the Mid-Atlantic grocery industry can trace generations back to the economically difficult early years of the family and beginnings of a grocery business. A corner grocery store turned into a dominant supermarket chain or a peddler with his horse-drawn wagon grew into a major food distributor. These families took pride in their hard work to make a better life for the next generation. As the businesses grew, these families became active civically and philanthropically within their communities and institutions. This book highlights those selected and prominent Mid-Atlantic grocery businesses and their families while preserving the legacy/history, stories, and photos of these companies and families.
