With inflation-weary consumers across the U.S. focused on cutting costs and finding ways to stretch their pennies, Foodtown and Green Way Markets customers were able to learn how to prepare three quality meals for just $9 a day.

The Belvidere-based company's line of sustainably grown leafy greens will soon be available at Morton Williams Supermarkets, a member of Iselin-based supermarket co-cop Allegiance Retail Services LLC.

The Belvidere-based hydroponic farming company's products will soon be found at Gristedes and D’Agostino – both of which are members of Iselin-based supermarket co-op Allegiance Retail Services LLC.

The brand with 16 locations joins Gristedes and D’Agostino’s as members, positioning the Iselin-based cooperative as the leader in the Manhattan marketplace.

“Dan’s contribution to Allegiance as both an Operating Member and CEO & Chairman, can be characterized in one word – outstanding,” stated Lou Scaduto Jr., who has been named as his successor. “His commitment to, and vision for the cooperative was inspiring.”
