1996

As Cohen acknowledged in Ken Blanchard's Profiles of Success in 1996, "Part of the reason this is working so well and continuing to motivate employees is that there is no cap on what a person can make.

1996: The company opens one-million-square-foot warehouse in Windsor Locks, Connecticut.

1997

In September of that year, C & S acquired Winter Hill Frozen Foods and Services of Westboro, Massachusetts, and, in 1997, the company took over the distribution of ice cream and frozen foods from New England Frozen Foods, adding 4,000 new stores.

Five years later, in October 2000, C & S entered into new agreements with Grand Union Co. when it filed a third time in five years for bankruptcy protection.

By November 2002, however, GU Markets announced it would close its Glenmont store, largely due to increased competition from the new, nearby 56,000-square-foot Price Chopper.
