History[]

Redner's Markets was founded in March 1970, by Mary and Earl Redner. They opened two supermarkets in Reading, PA.

In 1975, the company formed an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), making them the first supermarket in Pennsylvania to be employee owned.[2]

In March 1987 the company opened its first Warehouse Market location. All its supermarkets were converted the warehouse style by November 1987.[3]

In October 1990, Earl Redner retired and Richard and Gary Redner took over management of the company.[3] In 2020, Redner's Warehouse Markets celebrated their 50th anniversary.[4]

For every 50 dollars spent the rewards customer will receive 5 cents off a gallon up to 20 gallons. If the customer chooses, they can also use the rewards for a grocery discount. For every 50 dollars they spend, they would receive 50 cents off their grocery bill. Once the rewards have been used, the card resets. Each individual reward expires 30 days if not used.[5][6]

Divisions[]

Redner's operations are organized into three divisions: Redner's Warehouse Market, Redner's Fresh Market and Redner's Quick Shoppe. The total number of Redner's locations is 64.
