Shurfine is a product brand that got its start in 1946 when, according to this Shurfine History webpage, a small group of passionate independent retailer-owned grocery wholesalers banded together to compete with corporate-owned chain stores.

At the time, the chain store behemoth in the grocery category was A&P.
