Pro’s Ranch Markets Named 2012 Arizona Retailer of the Year
Pro’s Ranch Markets was honored as the 2012 Arizona Retailer of the Year for its leadership in support of the industry and within its company, and dedication to the communities it serves.
The independent grocer was presented with the award Nov. 16 by The Arizona Food Marketing Alliance (AFMA) state trade association for the Arizona Food Industry, during its annual award banquet.

Throughout the year, Pro’s Ranch Markets hosts a variety of community-driven, family-oriented events almost every month, including Easter egg hunts, back-to-school backpack giveaways, and healthcare fairs. “This is how we say ‘Thank You’ for being great customers, neighbors and friends,” said Provenzano. “We want to thank the community we serve.”
