Miami-Dade County Declares October 10 as 'Sedano's Supermarkets Day'

On October 10, 2025, Sedano's Supermarkets proudly announced that Miami-Dade County has officially designated this date as 'Sedano's Supermarkets Day'. This recognition highlights the company’s unwavering commitment to serving the community over several decades. The announcement was made during an intimate ceremony at Sedano's headquarters in Hialeah, attended by company leaders, employees, local officials, and community partners, all coming together to celebrate this significant milestone.

The official proclamation reflects over 60 years of trust that Sedano’s has built with the community, providing culturally relevant products and services while fostering deep connections across various neighborhoods in South Florida. Javier Herrán, Chief Marketing Officer of Sedano's Supermarkets, expressed gratitude for this recognition, stating, “This is not just about our company, but about the people who support us, the families we have nourished, and the generations that continue to trust Sedano's as part of their daily lives.
