How We Started
Danbako began with a simple idea: to create a grocery store that feels like a farmers market, offering the freshest produce, highest-quality meats, and carefully selected grocery items in a warm, welcoming environment.
Founded in 1995 by the danbako family, our first store opened its doors in a small corner building in the Bronx. What started as a modest 1,000 square foot space has grown to multiple locations across the region, but our commitment to quality, freshness, and community has never wavered.
For over 25 years, we've been partnering with local farmers and producers to bring you the best products while supporting sustainable practices and our local economy. Every product on our shelves is carefully selected to ensure it meets our high standards for quality, flavor, and responsible sourcing.
