Food Bazaar, founded in 1988, owns and operates a chain of supermarkets in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Founder Frances An, Korean born, but who lived for many years in Argentina, discovered when he moved to New York that many grocery items he was accustomed to buying were not available or were very difficult to find. He opened his own store in Queens, New York, with the idea that a wide variety of foods should be available to everyone.
The company offers imported food items from around the world to help people make authentic food dishes. The stores also carry natural and organic food items in addition to the usual meat, milk, and bread. As of 2016, the company had 25 locations in the tri-state area. Food Bazaar regularly partners with numerous non-profit organizations by providing substantial food donations and hosting many community events year-round.
Food Bazaar is still owned and operated by the An family and has headquarters in Brooklyn, New York.
