Marino's

Marino's Associated Foods is a small grocery chain with two stores in Ensley. The first location was opened in 1925 and is still family owned, with grandson Anthony Marino passing the reigns to his son, Jay in 2012. The business employs about 70 people.

In December 2011 the company asked for $500,000 in public incentives from the city of Birmingham to help modernize its stores and expand educational outreach and access to nutritious foods.
