FWMEUR

Fairway Group Holdings Corp.

A specialty grocery chain known for big, bustling stores in the New York area that blend everyday staples with gourmet finds, from fresh produce and dry-aged beef to artisanal cheeses and prepared foods. It began in 1933 when Russian immigrant Nathan Glickberg opened a small Manhattan fruit stand during the Great Depression; in 1954 he and his son expanded it into a full grocery store. The name "Fairway" came from Leo's wife, who suggested the "lucky name" her own father had used for his business.
