Pathmark was founded in 1968 with a visionary “super center” concept of stores that combine the traditional groceries and perishable products with a variety of non-food products of everyday requirements and also small appliances. Another pioneering feat for the company was that it became the first supermarket chain to run its stores round the clock, 7 days a week.

Groceries, meats, produce, dairy, deli, bakery, non-foods, frozen foods, seafood, pharmacy and floral are the common offerings at most Pathmark stores. It currently ranks among the top food retailers in the country with a sales turnover of $4.1 billion in 2006. The company has built a strong reputation based on its commitment to deliver best value for money to the consumers and a great shopping experience at its stores.
