Title
Proclamation awarded to Community Super Markets in recognition of their 80th Anniversary.
Body
WHEREAS, Community Markets, a collection of four super markets in Western Pennsylvania, will celebrate its 80th Anniversary this year; and
WHEREAS, Jerry and Paul Rosenberg, co-owners of Community Markets, provide a welcoming atmosphere, “hometown flavor” and devotion to the communities they serve; and
WHEREAS, after emigrating from Poland to the United States in 1927, Louis Rosenberg founded what eventually became Community Super Markets. During the great depression, Louis extended hometown friendliness to his regular customers by letting them buy on credit; and
WHEREAS, this personalized approach to business is maintained today, giving the company a competitive advantage that has allowed them to expand by franchising four stores within seven years, and in 2002, they received the Best Family Business honor from the University of Pittsburgh Katz Business School;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Allegheny County Council does hereby congratulate Community Super Markets and the Rosenberg family upon the momentous occasion of its 80th Anniversary. Your achievement has set a high standard of commitment and dedication which the citizens of our great County of Allegheny may follow and serves as an inspiration to this Council and to all.
