NETCOST MARKET — 25 years of service to people
Netcost Market hosted a grand celebration. There were gifts, a raffle, a concert, music, stilt acrobats, cartoon characters, free treats: ice cream, fruit, you name it, and the Napoleon cake with custard was absolutely homemade. Of course, politicians presented certificates of appreciation—certificates were received by Netcost Market CEO Edward Schneider and the store's top employees.
Netcost Market celebrated a quarter-century of success, dedication to tradition, and a commitment to excellence. Today, the company is moving forward by leaps and bounds, confidently expanding and inspiring others. The results of this unique project in the history of immigration are impressive: 13 modern supermarkets in four US states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida, serving over 300,000 customers monthly and employing over 1,500 employees from around the world.
It all began in 1990, when Sam Schneider, an immigrant from Uzbekistan, opened a small delicatessen. His kindness, sensitivity to customer needs, and innate entrepreneurial flair laid the foundation for a future empire. The business thrived. Soon, the idea for a chain of grocery stores, Netcost Market, emerged, and his children played an active role in its development. I remember Edward coming to his father's store after school and helping build it. There are rare, extraordinary individuals—no matter what they touch, they succeed. Today, the company's CEO is Edward Schneider, the founder's son. The business is in good hands: Edward has inherited not only his father's energy and determination, but also his philosophy of family values. "Family is the foundation of everything. It provides not only support, but also inspiration," says Edward. It was at home that he learned the meaning of hard work, respect for people, and responsibility for his word. These qualities have become his inner compass in business.
I've known the Schneider family of hard workers for many years. Today, in an interview, a very modest woman, his mother, told me: "Edik is the best son in the world!" I don't think there's anything else to say!
I've been writing about Netcost Market for many years. Edward Schneider was named Person of the Year by our radio listeners. I witnessed Brooklyn Mayor and now New York City Mayor Eric Adams declare June 7th Netcost Market Day for his philanthropic work during the pandemic. I've seen Netcost Market receive its awards many times.
Edward Schneider believes it's important to keep one's word, be honest even when it's difficult, and value the contribution of every employee, regardless of their position. This philosophy has helped him through difficult times and remains the core that drives the company forward.
The Netcost Market concept is truly unique and, without exaggeration, revolutionary for American supermarkets. It's a successful attempt to combine a wide selection of groceries and prepared foods with gourmet dishes from professional chefs at affordable prices. No other major U.S. chain has yet managed to implement a similar project.
Netcost Market is constantly evolving, introducing new services, improving service quality, offering flexible discount systems, and expanding its product range.
Edward Schneider, along with his family and partners, is also involved in other business projects, making a significant contribution to the development of the American economy, culture, medicine, and science, uniting people regardless of nationality.
The company actively participates in local communities, supporting cultural festivals, charity events, veterans' organizations, synagogues, and hospitals. Netcost Market is not just part of the neighborhood, but its soul and a good neighbor.
The company supports refugees and people in difficult circumstances. Humanitarian aid to Ukraine and Ukrainians, provided from the first days of the war, is particularly important. They respect and understand the situation in Israel and have assisted with the construction of bomb shelters. Netcost Market also funds educational and medical projects, assists the police, supports concerts, festivals, and sporting events, and pays attention to environmental issues. Many events were made possible only thanks to Netcost Market's support.
Edward Schneider, along with his family and partners, is also involved in other business ventures and has received certificates of honor and medals from various organizations, including the mayors of Brooklyn and New York City, as well as the American Association of Disabled and Veterans.
The company's strength lies in the quality of its service and sincere attention to each client.
Today, Netcost Market stores offer products from around the world: international delicacies, fresh fruits, aromatic baked goods, exquisite cheeses, and, of course, the beloved lightly salted caviar.
You can also order groceries online. A customer card with discounts is available, and there are special price reduction days for seniors.
In an interview, Eduard Schneider admitted that he seeks new ideas and inspiration every day, deeply understanding the business from the inside and the DNA of Netcost Market, and seeing the task as setting the right direction and creating conditions in which the best talent can flourish.
Having witnessed his openness and success, many have approached him with collaboration proposals, and each one is considered personally. Opening a store always comes with a great responsibility to the customer, the team, and investors. All previous projects have proven highly effective, and with this approach, all future openings will be successful.
I've prepared a surprise especially for my readers – an interesting question:
Edward, opening a store is a big responsibility to investors. Who could be a potential investor for Netcost Market? You mentioned that you receive calls every day with offers to open a Netcost Market in one state or another. Many people are ready to invest in the development of the Netcost Market chain.
“Yes, you know, at some point there were so many of these proposals and calls that we started thinking about creating a new program called Joint Venture,” Edward Schneider replied.
- Are you saying that if I have capital, I can approach your team and you will consider the applicant's proposal as an investor and be ready to open a new store with them?
- Undoubtedly.
At the end of the article there is an email address where you can write and ask any questions.
Edward Schneider's response: "Great idea. Agreed."
I've been shopping at Netcost Market for years. They always have fresh fruit, delicious bread, and smiling salespeople.
But it is better to see once than to read a hundred times.
