Hannaford Supermarkets started out as a fresh produce vendor in Portland, Maine way back in 1883, and is still connected to those early roots as a local market. Hannaford actively seeks out farmers and producers to join our Local program which celebrates not only local foods, but the preservation of farmland, local traditions and local jobs.

After completion of the program, you will be a top candidate for a store manager, specialist, or home office equivalent role. From there, you have the opportunity to work towards your own career path based on your interests within the broader company.

Strategic Projects

After 6 months, you will be given the opportunity to join a strategic project workstream with some of your peers and other business leaders. You will work together to develop and recommend a solution for a significant priority within the company. You will be expected to be a functional member driving this critical work.
