About Us

Established in 1940 by founders Sam Smith, Sam Sowalsky, and Jack Sloat, The Crown has been a cornerstone of the Hartford Jewish community for over 6 decades. Being a family owned and operated business now in its third generation, we take great pride in providing our customers with only the best quality Kosher food products available along with an exceptional level of customer service which has been our trademark for over a half century.

Over the years, The Crown has come to be known as The Good Food Store. We maintain a large selection of fresh produce, kosher meats, poultry and fish as well as conventional and hard to find groceries. We also boast the best gourmet take-out and catering services in the area. Freshly baked breads and delicious desserts complete our mouthwatering repertoire.
