C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc.
 PROFILE
C&S Wholesale Grocers is at the bottom of the food chain -- and likes it that way. The company is one of the US's largest food wholesalers, delivering groceries to some 4,000 independent supermarkets, major supermarket chains, mass marketers (including Wal-Mart), and wholesale clubs from Maine to Maryland. The company sells more than 53,000 items, including general groceries, produce, and nonfood items. It runs facilities in Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. An affiliate of C&S Wholesale bought bankrupt supermarket chain (and a top C&S customer) The Grand Union Company's assets in 2001. CEO Richard Cohen owns the company, which his grandfather started in 1918.
