pioneer

Supermarket

Cooperative/Supplier: Associated Supermarket Group

Pioneer was previously a brand of DiGiorgio, once a sprawling fruit growing and distribution empire but eventually reduced to a New York metro area wholesaler. Independently-owned Met and Pioneer supermarkets were supplied by DiGiorgio, and subsequently AWI, with White Rose branded products until the brand's bankruptcy in 2014. Met and Pioneer stores were rolled into the Associated Supermarket Group then, whose Associated and Compare Foods stores had also been supplied by White Rose.
