National Retail Solutions (NRS) is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Krasdale Foods, marking a significant milestone in their shared mission to support independently owned and operated neighborhood retailers. This collaboration combines NRS’s innovative, data‑driven point‑of‑sale (POS) technology with Krasdale Foods’ century‑long strength in grocery distribution to serve bodegas and small‑format stores across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, and additional growing markets.
Developed over several years, the partnership represents the shared vision and dedication of both organizations to protect and grow the independent retail sector. Integrating NRS’s robust store management platform with Krasdale’s extensive supply chain capabilities delivers a higher level of service, efficiency, and support to neighborhood stores, helping them thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
“Bodegas and neighborhood grocers are the lifeblood of the communities we serve,” said Elie Y. Katz, President and CEO of NRS. “Partnering with a legendary name like Krasdale allows us to bring even more value to these merchants. Combining our technology with Krasdale’s distribution power ensures that independent family-owned stores have the tools and resources they need to stay profitable and compete with major chains.”
For over a century, Krasdale Foods has been a pillar of support for the independent grocery market. The new alliance leverages NRS’s data-driven insights and loyalty programs to enhance the retail experience for Krasdale’s vast 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 & 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.”
