C-Town is tumbling?! Really?? YUP!!!

OK ladies and gentlemen the time has finally come to reveal the “Secret of the C”  

But first, lets acknowledge that this tidbit of trivia will launch you into the stratosphere of awesome NYC street cred.  You will “know your shit” when it comes to random New York history.  

OK here goes;

C-Town Supermarkets’ main supplier for merchandise is Krasdale.  (For some “fan luv” on Krasdale visit http://ohkrasdalemykrasdale.tumblr.com/ )  In the 70′s the stores operated as K-Town (K for Krasdale).  BUT this was the 70′s and once K-Towns started popping up all over the city in comes K-Mart with a big fat law suit claiming that K-Town sound too much like K-Mart.  K-Mart was like Walmart before Walmart. 

Soooo instead of spending a bunch of money fighting and probably losing to K-Mart, Krasdale decided to change the name of the stores to C-Town.

Also, all C-Towns are indepently operating and we have run the C-Town on Graham ave sine 1992!
