Wakefern Food Corporation
 PROFILE
Started by seven men who each invested $1,000, Wakefern Food has grown into the largest supermarket cooperative in the US. The co-op is owned by more than 40 independent grocers who operate about 200 ShopRite supermarkets in Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey (where it is a dominant chain), New York, and Pennsylvania. More than half of ShopRite stores offer pharmacies. In addition to name-brand and private-label products (ShopRite, Chef's Express, Reddington Farms), Wakefern supports its members with advertising, merchandising, insurance, and other services. Although the holdings of members range in size from one store to 32 (Big V Supermarkets), each member holds an equal voting share.
