Sedano’s Supermarkets Receives Miami-Dade County Proclamation Declaring October 10 as “Sedano’s Supermarkets Day”

Sedano’s Supermarkets,  the leading Hispanic grocer in the U.S., is proud to announce that Miami-Dade County has officially proclaimed October 10 as “Sedano’s Supermarkets Day” in recognition of the company’s decades-long commitment to serving the community. The formal proclamation was held during a private ceremony at Sedano’s corporate headquarters in Hialeah, bringing together company leadership, employees, local officials, and community partners for an intimate celebration of this milestone. Festivities included the reading of the proclamation, employee recognition, and remarks from civic leaders and company executives.

The honor reflects Sedano’s more-than-60-year legacy as a trusted grocery destination and community partner, providing culturally relevant products and services while fostering deep ties across South Florida’s diverse neighborhoods.

“We are incredibly honored and humbled to receive this recognition,” said Javier Herrán, Chief Marketing Officer of Sedano’s Supermarkets. “This is not just about our company; it’s about the people who have walked through our doors, the families we’ve fed, and the generations who continue to trust Sedano’s as part of their everyday lives. Sedano’s Supermarkets Day is a celebration of that shared journey.”

The proclamation from Miami-Dade County underscores Sedano’s integral role in the economic and cultural fabric of the region. “Sedano’s is more than a supermarket; it’s a reflection of the vibrant communities it serves,” the official declaration reads. “From supporting local food drives to championing small businesses and celebrating cultural heritage, Sedano’s embodies the values that make Miami-Dade strong.”

This week, renowned James Beard Award–winning chef Michelle Bernstein recommended Sedano’s in the BBC feature “A Latina chef’s guide to Miami’s best Cuban sandwiches.” In the interview, Bernstein named Sedano’s the #1 spot for an authentic Miami experience.

“Sedano’s is known for its deli and prepared foods. You can get [Cuban sandwiches] fresh and hot — everything is done to order,” Bernstein told the BBC. “If I drive by a Sedano’s, I can’t not pull in, order a Cubano and do a little shopping.”
