National Retail Solutions (NRS) has announced a strategic partnership with Krasdale Foods aimed at strengthening independently owned neighborhood retailers across the Northeast. The collaboration brings together NRS’s data-driven point-of-sale technology and Krasdale’s long-standing expertise in grocery distribution.

In a statement, NRS said the partnership combines its advanced store management and POS platform with Krasdale’s century-long distribution network. The initiative will support bodegas and small-format retailers in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and other expanding markets.

Developed over several years, the partnership underscores both companies’ “dedication to protecting and growing the independent retail sector.” By aligning NRS’s technology solutions with Krasdale’s supply chain capabilities, the companies aim to deliver “enhanced operational efficiency, improved access to data insights, and stronger long-term profitability for local merchants.”

“Bodegas and neighborhood grocers are the lifeblood of the communities we serve,” said Elie Y. Katz, President and CEO of NRS. “Partnering with such a respected name like Krasdale enables us to deliver even more value to these retailers. By combining our technology with Krasdale’s distribution expertise, we ensure independent, family-owned stores have the modern tools and resources they need to compete and thrive.”

Krasdale Foods, which has supported independent grocery businesses for more than a century, serves retailers ranging from small neighborhood stores to large-format supermarkets. According to the statement, the new collaboration introduces an affordable technology solution tailored specifically for bodegas and smaller stores, while continuing to support Krasdale’s broader customer base.

“At Krasdale, our commitment has always been to meet retailers where they are and equip them with the tools they need to succeed,” said Cynthia Krasne, Chief Sales & Customer Officer at Krasdale Foods. “For our larger supermarkets, we’ve long offered enterprise-level POS systems through an established partner. But many of our smaller stores require something different—something simple, powerful, and affordable. Working with NRS allows us to offer exactly that. This partnership strengthens independent retailers, streamlines operations, and reinforces their role as essential businesses within their communities.”
