Description: VLGEA Village Super Market December 26, 2025
Village Super Market, Inc. (NASDAQ: VLGEA) operates a network of supermarkets and specialty food stores in the United States under the ShopRite, Fairway, and Gourmet Garage banners, selling a full range of grocery, fresh, and non-food items through both brick-and-mortar locations and digital channels (shoprite.com, fairwaymarket.com, gourmetgarage.com, plus dedicated mobile apps). The company’s private-label portfolio includes Wholesome Pantry, Bowl & Basket, Paperbird, Fairway, and Gourmet Garage brands. Founded in 1937, its headquarters are in Springfield, New Jersey.
Recent performance metrics (FY 2023) show a 2.4% same-store sales growth year-over-year, with e-commerce accounting for roughly 8% of total sales-a modest but accelerating share relative to the industry average of 12%. The firm reported a net profit margin of 2.1% and carried a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.3, indicating a moderate leverage profile for a grocery retailer.
Key economic drivers for Village Super Market include consumer price inflation in food (which has risen ~5% YoY) and shifting household spending toward value-oriented private labels. The broader food-retail sector is sensitive to discretionary income trends and supply-chain constraints that affect fresh-produce margins; a 0.5% decline in the Grocery Price Index typically translates into a 0.2% dip in same-store sales for comparable operators.
