The Progressive Grocer brand is also part of VNU.
Provenzano and his management team, including sons Michael, Steve, Rick and Jeff, operate five stores in southern California and California's Central Valley, and four in Phoenix, Ariz. Ranch Markets is noted for its "out of the box" thinking, while its stores are known for their focus on fresh foods, and on meeting the specific needs of their diverse communities. One of the fastest growing Hispanic market chains in the country, the company also operates a new 80,000-sq.-ft. corporate office and warehouse in Ontario, CA.
The award will be presented during the Monday evening cocktail reception, which will top off the first day of the conference, Sept. 26, at the Wyndham Anatole Hotel in Dallas. The Hispanic Retail 360 Conference & Expo will continue through the afternoon on Tuesday, Sept. 27.
