Andronico's

Andronico's Community Markets, known locally as Andronico's (and formerly known as Park and Shop), is a supermarket chain based primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area. Its first store was founded in 1929 on Berkeley's Solano Avenue by Greek immigrant Frank Andronico. In late 2011, Andronico's filed for bankruptcy. A new group of investors assumed... management of the chain during the reorganization process. In November 2016, Safeway Inc. agreed to buy Andronico's remaining stores. The stores began closing in January 2017, with the North Berkeley store closing first. In February 2019, Safeway said that it was considering bringing back the Andronico's name. By February 2020, six Safeway stores were operating under the Andronico's Community Market label, with a seventh planned.Read More
