National Retail Solutions is partnering with Krasdale Foods in a shared mission to support independently owned and operated neighborhood retailers.

The collaboration combines NRS' data driven point-of-sale technology with Krasdale Foods' strength in grocery distribution to serve bodegas and small format stores across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, according to a press release.

By integrating NRS's store management platform with Krasdale's supply chain capabilities, the collaboration delivers enhanced operational efficiency, improved access to data insights and stronger long term profitability for local merchants.

"Bodegas and neighborhood grocers are the lifeblood of the communities we serve," Elie Y. Katz, president and CEO of NRS, said in the release. "Partnering with such a respected name like Krasdale enables us to deliver even more value to these retailers. By combining our technology with Krasdale's distribution expertise, we ensure independent, family owned stores have the modern tools and resources they need to compete and thrive."

The partnership introduces an affordable technology solution specifically designed for bodegas and smaller stores.

"At Krasdale, our commitment has always been to meet retailers where they are and equip them with the tools they need to succeed," Cynthia Krasne, chief sales and customer officer at Krasdale Foods, said in the release. "For our larger supermarkets, we've long offered enterprise level POS systems through an established partner. But many of our smaller stores require something different — something simple, powerful and affordable. Working with NRS allows us to offer exactly that. This partnership strengthens independent retailers, streamlines operations, and reinforces their role as essential businesses within their communities."

Krasdale Foods is a 118-year-old, family-owned business and the premier grocery distributor in the New York Metro area. Krasdale supplies over 3,500 independent retailers across eight states, including banners such as CTown, Bravo, Aim, Market Fresh, Shop Smart and Stop 1.
