"I have known and worked with Steve Grolmus for nearly 15 years.  Steve is the definition of industry professional and business leader.  His knowledge of the grocery business comes from hands-on ownership experience dating back to when he started working in his Father's Grocery store as a very young man.  This experience has served Steve well and exemplifies the foundation for his character, growth and long term success as an independent owner and entrepreneur.  

Steve has made grocery retailing his very own.  Steve has a keen sense and understanding of what it takes to own, operate and compete with large and smaller volume stores in the hyper competitive grocery space while growing sales year over year and keeping expenses in line.  Steve is a great leader of people and especially his team.  Steve has done an amazing job of evolving as an independent owner, with a very clear vision while facing and overcoming the intense competition from various brick and mortar formats from deep discount, convenience stores and online shopping formats.  

Steve's years of progressive experience, vision, leadership and agility in recognizing and changing in order to "adapt-on-the-fly" to the competition, is why he has been able to improve, grow and sustain improved year over year results.  Having worked with and for Steve for such a very long time, I cannot think of very many people who are more invested in and qualified to guide those in the very competitive independent grocery industry. 

I cannot recommend Steve Grolmus strongly enough to any independent business owner looking for help and guidance in all areas of grocery retailing."
