Gala Foods Supermarkets, based in New York, has been selecting 40 customers every Thursday this month to win groceries across all eight of its locations. The promotion runs through Dec. 27 at the participating supermarkets in Bridgeport, Connecticut; Brooklyn, New York; Brentwood, Freeport and Bay Shore in Long Island.
“We know that our customers work hard to save their dollars, especially during the holiday season, so we want to do everything possible to embrace the holiday spirit by giving away free groceries,” said Jenny Jorge, VP of operations at Aurora Grocery Group. “We are all excited to see our customer’s reactions when we surprise them during checkout to let them know they have just won their groceries free. There’s great energy around our stores. Our employees are enjoying it just as much as our customers.”
Winners are selected at random throughout the day at the time of checkout, and there is no need for the customer to sign up or register for a chance to win. They simply shop on Thursday as usual and see if they are the winner at that specific time and register aisle during checkout.
In addition to free groceries, winners soon can expect to save dollars from the loyalty program—Gala Bucks.

The first store opened under the Compare Foods name in 1989 in Freeport, New York. Currently, there are 24 supermarket locations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and North Carolina.
