Kings expands into Connecticut
Kings Food Markets, an upscale food chain with 24 stores in New Jersey and New York, announced that it has expanded into Connecticut with the acquisition of a Porricelli's Market location in Old Greenwich.
"At Kings, we share our love of food with our customers, and we're excited to have the opportunity to introduce this passion to a new community in Old Greenwich," Judy Spires, president and chief executive officer of Kings Food Markets, said
in a press release. "Our goal is for customers to discover those moments in our stores where inspiration strikes, whether it's finally finding a rare ingredient, creating a delicious menu using recipes from Kings' chefs or knowing they can rely on pairing suggestions and preparation tips from our associates. We know that Porricelli's Market has been a pillar of the Old Greenwich community for 60 years, and we are committed to providing the same level of personal, attentive service that is truly the cornerstone of our brand experience."
"We have been proud to serve three generations of shoppers throughout our 63-year history in Old Greenwich," Jerry Porricelli Jr. of Porricelli's Market added in the press release. "Our store is a family-run operation and we view our customers as an extension of our family. For this reason it was crucial to choose a company that will continue the unique legacy that we've established, and we feel that Kings is the ideal choice to do so for many, many years to come. I will personally be involved in the transition, and I look forward to welcoming customers to the store as Kings becomes an exciting new addition to Old Greenwich."
Kings recently completed a brand relaunch in an effort to meet the ever-changing needs and demands of its customers, both current and prospective. The relaunch was marked by the introduction of a newly redesigned website (www.kingsfoodmarkets.com) as well as grand reopenings of its Bedminster, NJ, and Livingston, NJ, stores. Additional reopenings are slated to take place throughout 2012 and 2013.
