CTown Supermarkets is a chain of independently owned and operated supermarkets operating in the northeastern United States.^[1]

CTown was founded in 1975.^[1] CTown uses economies of scale so its small member stores can pool their resources for purchasing and advertising.^[2] CTown tends to open supermarkets in locations that suburban stores have abandoned.^[2] CTown Supermarkets tend to depend on more customers who are pedestrians and fewer who drive, as shown by their smaller parking lots.^[2]

There are approximately 200 stores in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. CTown is the fifth-largest food retailer in the New York City metropolitan area. CTown is supplied by Krasdale Foods; many products sold in CTown stores are labeled Krasdale Foods (Krasdale also is a supplier for the smaller Bravo supermarket chain). Marketing and advertising for CTown are handled by Alpha-I Marketing Corp.
