When Cronig's Market underwent an addition in 1993, a customer suggested the marketplace symbol of a grasshopper. He explained that the custom had its roots in the markets of England, where the grasshopper served as a beacon, a signpost which invited both passersby and neighbors to trade. But the grasshopper represented more than simple commerce. It also symbolized community: the delicate balance of interdependency, where merchant and families rely on each other.

Our business philosophy tries to continue the symbol of the grasshopper from the 1800's. Our product selection is driven by our customers not corporations. This gives us an opportunity for the customer to shape our variety which gives us a unique blend of product selection for you.
