National Retail Solutions (NRS) and Krasdale Foods announced a strategic partnership, combining NRS’s point-of-sale technology with Krasdale’s grocery distribution network to serve independently owned bodegas and small-format stores across the Northeast.
The collaboration, developed over several years, integrates NRS’s store-management platform with Krasdale’s supply-chain capabilities to deliver operational efficiency, data insights and profitability tools for local merchants in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and additional growing markets.
“Bodegas and neighborhood grocers are the lifeblood of the communities we serve,” said Elie Y. Katz, president and CEO of NRS. “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.”
For over a century, Krasdale Foods has supported independent grocery businesses ranging from small neighborhood stores to large-format supermarkets. The new partnership introduces an affordable technology solution specifically designed for bodegas and smaller stores without altering Krasdale’s support for its broader customer base.
“At Krasdale, our commitment has always been to meet retailers where they are and equip them with the tools they need to succeed,” said Cynthia Krasne, chief sales and customer officer at Krasdale Foods.
“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.”
