Foodtown was a New Zealand supermarket chain owned by Progressive Enterprises. The supermarkets tended to be integrated with a shopping mall, instead of being stand-alone stores. As of November 2011, all Foodtown stores have been changed into Countdown supermarkets.
Foodtown is a northeastern United States supermarket cooperative founded in 1955 by Twin County Grocers, Inc. Currently, there are 70 Foodtown stores in New Jersey, New York and eastern Pennsylvania. There are also 2 locations in South Florida, which vary a bit in concept, focusing more on international foods. Foodtown's corporate offices are located in Iselin, New Jersey.
Like its competitor ShopRite, each Foodtown is independently owned and operated with some owners operating multiple stores. Foodtown also does business with independent grocers that do not operate under the store banner; they contract with these stores to carry Foodtown-branded items in their stores.
