St. John’s Athletics and LEARFIELD have partnered with Food Bazaar Supermarket, designating the grocery chain as the “Official Supermarket of St. John’s Athletics.” This multi-year agreement connects the Red Storm community with Food Bazaar’s 29 locations across Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Westchester, Long Island, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Food Bazaar is committed to providing the Red Storm community with a wide selection of quality products and a superior shopping experience. Spencer An, President of Food Bazaar Supermarket, emphasized the company’s dedication to the New York community and its excitement in supporting St. John’s robust athletic programs.
Red Storm fans, students, and alumni can expect a prominent Food Bazaar presence at men’s and women’s basketball games, along with exclusive discounts and offers through digital activations throughout the year. Furthermore, Food Bazaar will sponsor the athletic department’s fueling station, supplying student-athletes with nutritious grab-and-go options daily. This direct support underscores Food Bazaar’s commitment to student well-being.
Mike Cragg, Director of Athletics, welcomed Food Bazaar as a valuable partner sharing a commitment to positively impacting both student-athletes and the local community. This collaboration reflects a shared vision for excellence both on and off the field. The partnership extends beyond branding and promotions. Food Bazaar’s “Free Throws for Meals” initiative will donate $10 in food to St. John’s Bread and Life for each free throw made by the men’s basketball team during the 2021-22 season.
Food Bazaar, a family-owned and operated company, has served the Tri-State area for over 30 years. With a focus on providing diverse and authentic food options, the supermarket chain caters to the unique needs of its local communities. The company’s commitment to offering a broad selection of products, including its own high-quality, affordable Bogopa Private Label, makes it a one-stop shop for grocery needs.
Beyond its retail operations, Food Bazaar actively engages in community support through partnerships with non-profit organizations, substantial food donations, and various community events. This dedication to giving back aligns with the values of St. John’s Athletics, making the partnership a natural fit. The collaboration between St. John’s Athletics and Food Bazaar Supermarket represents a shared commitment to community engagement, student well-being, and a passion for providing quality products and experiences. This partnership promises to benefit both organizations and the broader community they serve.
