Big Y Foods, Inc.

Overview:

Looking back, it’s hard to believe that anyone’s dream could survive. It was 1936 and the Great Depression had driven millions of Americans out of work. Paul D’Amour, at 30 years old, was full of entrepreneurial spirit. He was a bread route salesman, earning $60 each week at Wonder Bread Baking Co. Paul dreamed of owning his own business. With a family loan of $800–their entire savings–along with help from his brother Gerry, Paul purchased the Y Cash Market for $2,500.
