The Crown Market in West Hartford, Connecticut has a rich history over 75 years serving both the Jewish Community and the greater Hartford area with quality kosher groceries, deli, catering and fresh meats. Founded in 1940 by Sam Smith, Sam Sowalsky and Meyer Goldfield on a piece of land on Albany Avenue between Magnolia Street and Irving Street in Hartford, the Crown Market was originally a group of concessions operating in the store.
The meat and delicatessen was run by the Crown founders, while the bakery was run by the Lassoff family, the fruit department run by Bob Kotik, and the fish department by Hymie Goldfarb. The grocery department was run by the Winer family. In 1943, Meyer Goldfield left the business and was replaced by Jack Sloat.

My kids are never happier than when I tell them that we're going to The Crown! Of all the Jewish establishments in town, The Crown is the one that has most consistently improved life for Jewish people over the past decade or more. They have continually offered more and more kosher options, worked tirelessly to bring people the products and services they desire and they have done all of this while maintaining the deeply personal and local feeling that has made generations of Hartfordites LOVE The Crown. They offer deli, pizza, sushi, delicious baked goods, amazing sandwiches and wraps, amazing bagels

Very impressive selection of kosher meat and poultry was available, both in terms of cuts and appearance. Considering that we got there less than an hour before they closed, we were pleasantly surprised. Hope what we bought tastes as good as it looks. Only saw a small portion of the market - going back is a must.
