Redners Fresh Market

Redner's Markets is an American supermarket chain headquartered in Reading, Pennsylvania. The company operates over 40 stores in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. Redner's Markets is known for its employee-owned business model, which has contributed to its growth and success in the competitive grocery industry.

History

Redner's Markets was founded in 1970 by Earl and Mary Redner. The first store was opened in Leesport, Pennsylvania. The company has since expanded its operations, opening new stores and acquiring existing ones. In 1975, Redner's became the first supermarket in Pennsylvania to be employee-owned, a model that has been integral to its business philosophy.

Operations

Redner's Markets operates two main types of stores: Redner's Warehouse Markets and Redner's Quick Shoppes. The Warehouse Markets are full-service supermarkets offering a wide range of products, including fresh produce, meats, dairy, and bakery items. The Quick Shoppes are convenience stores that provide a more limited selection of products, catering to customers looking for quick and easy shopping options.

Employee Ownership
