How to reach King Kullen Grocery Company Inc.
Description
Born of Irish immigrant parents in 1884; Michael J. Cullen learned about the grocery business during his early years of employment. At 18 he worked as a clerk for the Atlantic and; Pacific Co.; moving on to general sales manager at Mutual Grocery and Kroger Stores. His natural marketing talents; work experience observations and insight in the grocery business led to his idea for mass merchandising - selling high volume at low profit margins. He wrote a letter to the president of Kroger; describing his ideas that would eventually revolutionize the industry; his letter went unanswered. Undaunted; and confident in his ability to see his idea become a reality; he quit his job and moved his family to Long Island. It was there that Cullen leased a vacant garage on Jamaica Avenue in Queens; just a few blocks from a busy shopping district; and on August 4th; 1930 opened the doors to America's first supermarket; King Kullen Grocery Company.
