Foodtown (United States)

Foodtown is a northeastern United States supermarket cooperative founded in 1935 by Twin County Grocers, Inc. Currently, there are 60 Foodtown stores; 21 in central New Jersey, 32 in New York, and 7 in eastern Pennsylvania.

Foodtown's corporate offices are located in Avenel, New Jersey. However, like competing supermarket cooperative ShopRite, all Foodtown stores are independently owned and operated, either by one person, or by companies operating multiple stores. Foodtown also distributes its store-brand items to several independent grocery stores on a contract basis.
