Job Description
Hannaford Supermarkets is a well-established retail grocery chain with roots dating back to 1883. Starting out as a fresh produce vendor in Portland, Maine, Hannaford has grown into a leading supermarket brand known for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and support of local farmers and producers. The company has a strong dedication to offering fresh, locally sourced foods while maintaining deep connections to the communities it serves. As one of the first major supermarkets in the United States to document that all its seafood products were sustainably harvested, Hannaford continually strives to promote environmental responsibility and preserve local traditions, farmland, and jobs. This dedication to fresh and sustainable food is reflected in their broad product offerings available at various store locations including their bakery departments.
