bravo

Supermarket

Cooperative/Supplier: Krasdale

Nearly 90 years after Krasdale Foods had been founded (in 1908), the cooperative introduced their Bravo banner in New York and Florida to be used on stores catering to Latin American customers. Beginning in the 1990s, Bravo stores joined Krasdale's roster alongside the CTown stores that had been around for a few decades. Independent grocers now use the Bravo banner from Hartford down to Miami.
