The Glass Family
Family-owned for three generations, our stores have been rooted in the New York and New Jersey communities since 1955. The Glass brothers, Ben & Abe, started our family’s legacy in the supermarket industry when they opened a produce business in 1938. After many successful years, they officially incorporated their company, calling it Glass Gardens, Inc., and opened their first store in Rochelle Park, New Jersey, in 1955. Glass Gardens and affiliated companies currently have nine New Jersey and four New York ShopRite stores and are led by second-generation cousins Irv and Terry Glass. Irv’s two sons, Daniel Glass and Andrew Kent, and Terry’s daughter, Karen Holbrook, all serve as executive vice presidents in the family business. Our mission is to quietly become the uncommonly best: people, sales, service and profit.
we are here.
“We are committed to giving back to the members of our communities who enable us to grow our business, enhance our services and create new jobs. We consistently support ShopRite Partners In Caring, Check-Out Hunger, Special Olympics, environmental programs, along with our local schools and service organizations. We have also partnered with food banks in New Jersey and New York in the fight against hunger.” -- Terry Glass, co-CEO and co-president of Glass Gardens, Inc.
