The Hannaford brothers began selling produce in Portland, Maine, in 1883, but it took a lot more than fresh tomatoes and apples to grow their business. The brothers looked at their customers and understood what they cared about most – family, community, quality, value – and built the business accordingly, with core values that still show us the way. Today, Hannaford lives those values in more than 180 stores and with 26,000 associates, our roots still firmly planted in the Northeast.
