Cala Foods
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cala Foods is a supermarket chain operating in and around the San Francisco, California, area. Cala Foods is the sister chain to Bell Markets, but Cala operates stores exclusively within the San Francisco city limits.
[edit] History
Cala Foods was established in 1947 by the seven brothers of the Cala family. In the mid 1990s it became a division of Ralphs Grocery Company, but in August 2006 Ralphs reached an agreement to sell 11 of 13 Cala and Bell stores back to Harley DeLano, previous manager of the chain. While DeLano retains the right to use the Cala and Bell store names, Kroger retains ownership of the names themselves.
Cala Foods acquired the QFI supermarket chain in 1973.
