We are Family Owned Here

The Garafalo Family

Our family-owned stores have been based in Connecticut for more than 20 years. In addition to operating eight ShopRites that are known for quality, variety and value, we also believe our commitment to philanthropy and sustainability plays a key role in our business.

we are here.

“I’ve spent most of my life in the grocery business and our family understands how important supermarkets are to the community. That is why we are passionate about the people we serve and the organizations we support. We are so proud to have played a role in the opening of the Fisher House in West Haven in 2018. Fisher House provides no-cost temporary housing and comfort lodging to military members and their families during visits to nearby VA medical centers. We are also longtime supporters of Connecticut Foodshare and the local pantries they support; the Get in Touch Foundation, which promotes breast health and education; Milford United Way; Junior Achievement, and Boys & Girls Club. We are also proud to support the Connecticut Audubon Society’s Coastal Center and the organization’s annual Return of the Osprey event. And we are especially thankful to our store teams and associates who volunteer for community cleanups and tree plantings while helping our stores be more sustainable through recycling, composting and fresh food donations.” -- Harry Garafalo, Garafalo Markets.
