Founded in 1989, the NSA is a trade association that represents the interest of independent supermarket owners in New York and other states throughout the East coast.

Current membership represents approx. 400 supermarkets.

Most members are of Hispanic descent, and their stores are predominantly located in minority neighborhoods.

In the last decade, the NSA Scholarship Foundation has granted close to one million dollars in educational scholarships to deserving underprivileged students from neighborhoods served by our members.
