At Associated Grocers, we provide our retail members with resources so that they can continue to grow their businesses and remain successfully independent. We truly appreciate them allowing us to be of service.
The Sam Crifasi Family
“AG has helped us over the past 52 years through many tough times. Numerous tropical storms have occurred over the years, and AG was always there to help us in any way possible to supply products to our customers. We have survived and even thrived when challenged by both national chains and some non-AG supplied independents. AG gives us the support we need to thrive in these highly competitive times. If you look at the leadership of the company over the last 65 years, you’d see that we’ve been blessed with presidents of high character, honesty, integrity and leadership. All of which, have surrounded themselves with talented and dedicated individuals that have made AG the success it is and will be, for years to come.”
Kenneth St. Germain, Sr.
“My fondest memory dates back 15 years when Associated Grocers celebrated its 50th Anniversary. My father, Honore “Sug” St. Germain and I attended the anniversary celebration together. Little did we know, he would be recognized at the event. My dad has since passed away, but I will never forget how proud and honored he was that day. Thank you AG!”
Ernie A. Matherne
“We became a member of AG in 1984, when we were a single store independent grocer in Paulina, Louisiana. Now we have five stores in three parishes, and AG has helped us to become what we are today. Our success is a result of what happens through the team work of wholesaler and retailer.”
Barry Loy
“Our company came to AG in April of 1995. AG was changing and progressing very quickly under the guidance of Jay Campbell, who had just become President of AG. AG has been a family to grocers, and we all rely on them to grow and prosper in our communities. AG puts customers first, just as we do in our stores. The Markets are proud to be a part of AG for over 20 years. It’s been the best 20 years in our 46 year history.”

“I’ve been with AG for 18 years, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for anything. They’ve helped me from the ground up and have been extremely instrumental in the success of my business. Without the help of AG, Soprano’s wouldn’t exist.”
