Bruno’s Supermarkets, LLC, is the parent company of Bruno’s and FOOD WORLD grocery stores, which includes 19 Bruno’s locations in Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. Founded in 1933, Bruno’s recently regained its independence to operate as its own entity after undergoing several transitions and changes in ownership starting in 1995 until 2007. A new executive team was installed in fall 2007, and the company hasn’t looked back since. The focus is now on returning this hometown favorite to its roots as an Alabama-based company and providing the same hospitality that is the hallmark of the South. Bruno’s shoppers can expect a return to the services, qualities and community commitment that once made Bruno’s the most desirable shopping destination, as well as new and inspired ideas to enhance their busy lifestyles.
