Food Parade Incorporated is a Long Island based supermarket chain with two stores in Plainview, New York and one store in Commack, New York. Food Parade is a member of the ShopRite retailers' cooperative and therefore trades as ShopRite. Food Parade is owned by the Greenfield family, and calls itself Greenfield's ShopRite in local advertising and in store branding.
Food Parade began in the 1960s, with three stores. Two in Queens, and one in Smithtown, New York. In 1972 the existing three stores closed, and a new store located in Hicksville, New York opened. Another store located in Plainview opened in the Mannetto Hill Shopping Centre in the 1980s. In 1990 the Hicksville store was also moved to Plainview. During the mid 1990s both stores saw expansion and renovation. The Commack location opened in January 2011. Food Parade was formerly a member of the Foodtown cooperative until 1997, when they switched over to ShopRite.
Famous quotes containing the words food and/or parade:
“Odors from decaying food wafting through the air when the door is opened, colorful mold growing between a wet gym uniform and the damp carpet underneath, and the complete supply of bath towels scattered throughout the bedroom can become wonderful opportunities to help your teenager learn once again that the art of living in a community requires compromise, negotiation, and consensus.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“With the greater part of rich people, the chief enjoyment of riches consists in the parade of riches, which in their eyes is never so complete as when they appear to possess those decisive marks of opulence which nobody can possess but themselves.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
