General Description
Ukrop's Super Markets, Inc., founded and headquartered in Richmond, VA with more than 5,500 associates, now operates 28 retail food stores, Joe's Market, a central bakery and kitchen, and a distribution center. Since 1937, the privately held business remains dedicated to its version of the Golden Rule: "treating customers, associates and suppliers as they personally want to be treated." Each year, Ukrop's gives a minimum of 10 percent of its pre-tax profits back to the community. Ukrop's was a pioneer in both loyalty marketing and meal solutions when it launched its Valued Customer® program in 1987 and its chilled prepared foods in 1989. In 1997, Ukrop's established a unique partnership to place banks in its retail locations. Today it co-owns, with Markel Corporation, 24 First Market Bank branches in Ukrop's locations and 9 free-standing branches. |
