Rockland Kosher

Rockland Kosher is a kosher supermarket located in the Shoppers Haven shopping center in Monsey, New York, in the United States. According to the Yiddish-language Wikipedia entry on the store, it is the second-largest kosher supermarket in the United States, behind Seven Mile Market in Baltimore, Maryland. The store is a large-format kosher grocery operation that anchors a wider complex of shops, and it includes dedicated departments such as its own bakery, deli, fish store, and a bookshop named Merkaz. The business is associated with Pinchas Klein, described in the source as a Vizhnitzer community leader and a major philanthropist, who founded the place. The history recounted in the source states that the food market was originally opened by Yechiel Rosenberg under a different name; Pinchas Klein later bought it and greatly expanded and enlarged it. In 2005 he acquired a large store and turned it into a mega-store with a network of dozens of shops in the mall, where shoppers can buy a wide range of goods. Until 1988, Rockland Kosher was the largest kosher supermarket in the United States; today, according to the same source, Seven Mile Market in Baltimore holds the largest position, while Rockland Kosher takes second place. The store serves the Jewish community of Monsey and the wider Rockland County area, offering kosher food and related products through its supermarket and its associated in-store departments. The official website at rocklandkosher.com represents the store online. The brand is a private, community-oriented kosher retail operation rather than a publicly listed company, and no parent company or corporate group is identified in the available evidence.
