The people that work in the produce department at Allegiance Retail Services, led by Kelly Davis, director of produce and floral, have gone above and beyond to make sure its customers have been able to find what they need during the pandemic. Headquartered in Iselin, NJ, Allegiance banners include Foodtown and Green Way Markets. The company continues to expand as it opened its first Green Way Market located in New Jersey, in Ridgewood.

Managing Editor Robin, Billy and John Estevez, who own Green Way Markets of Ridgewood, are offering jobs at their new store location a site that would have otherwise remained vacant.
Despite cold weather and snow on the ground, Green Way Markets of Ridgewood opened on Feb. 19, marking the independent banner’s second location. The specialty food retailer replaces a Kings Food Market store that closed after the grocer’s parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
“One of the largest differences shoppers will notice is the competitive pricing Green Way offers for premium products as well as our own organic Green Way line of food, cleaning supplies, and other sundry items,” noted Robin Estevez, who owns the supermarket along with his brothers Billy and John. “When you enter the store, not only will you see sale items, but you will also see tickets showing reduced everyday pricing on many products such as detergent.”
