Greetings,I am Lenard Kritchman. In today's world where there just isn't enough time in the day,Convenience truly Matters!! Remember Smiles are Contagious! Try it out ?


Lenard Kritchman Lenard Kritchman, the company founder, will manage Quick n’ Green on a day-to-day basis. He brings years of experience in the retail natural foods industry to this business venture. The retail grocery industry is in Lenard’s blood. He grew up in the business working in his father’s grocery locations in the Bronx, Harlem, Queens and Port Chester, New York.  Lenard worked with his father in these stores from the age of 8 to 15 when the stores were sold. Graduating from Rollins College with a major in psychology and a minor in business, Lenard moved to Martha’s Vineyard and took a job as Social Recreation Director of The Martha’s Vineyard Boys and Girls Club.  A year into the job, Lenards’s wife Jessica got island fever and the couple moved to Vermont. It was in Vermont just north of Burlington that Lenard truly began living the natural lifestyle. He rented a small organic farm that was off the grid and tried his hand at farming.   The vegetables were given away to local food banks.  Just before their first child was born, the Kritchmans moved back to the New York metropolitan area.  Mr. Kritchman took a job managing the largest salt and fresh water aquarium in White Plains, New York.  He worked there for three years until the company changed hands. Lenard reentered the retail grocery industry as manager of Rosita’s Meat Market in Lake Park, Florida in February 1994.  He helped to turn this venture into a very busy and profitable operation.  Lenard worked there with his brother and father until he saved enough money to again follow his heart.  Being a vegetarian yearning for a more earth-friendly occupation, it seemed the right progression to go into the natural food business. Lenard moved to Kauai’, Hawaii and purchased Papaya's Natural Foods and Cafe in Kapa’a, Hawai’i.  The store was grossing $600,000 a year.  After two years under leadership the store was grossing over $6 million a year.  This was achieved by changing the pricing structure, advertising, creating departmental managers, implementing a POS system, writing an employee handbook and operational manual and hiring the correct employees needed for rapid growth. Lenard built and opened a second store in Hanalei, Hawai’i in June of 2003. After three years this store was grossing over $3 million a year. The Kapa’a store is 6,700 square feet and has over 50 employees.  The Hanalei store is 3,400 square feet and has over 30 employees. Lenard was the sole owner and operator of these two stores. These impressive numbers resulted from focus and diligence, developing product mix and new product lines, and restructuring the pricing index. Hands-on management played a very important part in properly serving the public and aided with the expansion of the business.  Lenny truly believes in the natural lifestyle, a belief, which has helped him to be centered, directed and adept at developing the simple but unique concept behind Quick n’ Green.  Lenard’s key skill is to get a store up and running quickly with minimal investment and to make a profit from the beginning.  He also has the ability to manage people in a way that makes them feel good about themselves and in return they are more productive and want to educate and be educated.

Lenard Kritchman's Interests & Activities

Lenard Kritchman Visionary Entreptrneur & Trendsetter/Consultant I am interested in the next best thing. My 3 beautiful children. I enjoy the early morning and watching the sun rise. Ever since a young boy I have always wanted to solve the world hunger issue. Now I know think globally but act locally. Soup kitravel,explore and submerse myself in other cultures and traditions. Gourmet food. Cooking. Organic and Natural Food. Wine. Reading the paper. Yoga. Adventure. The new. A good performance... Soup Kitchens. No one should ever go to bed hungry. I like to help others. A smart man once said. "How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving... "I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts -- possessions, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible. "My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a 'lone traveler' and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude..." "My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized. It is an irony of fate that I myself have been the recipient of excessive admiration and reverence from my fellow-beings, through no fault, and no merit, of my own. The cause of this may well be the desire, unattainable for many, to understand the few ideas to which I have with my feeble powers attained through ceaseless struggle. I am quite aware that for any organization to reach its goals, one man must do the thinking and directing and generally bear the responsibility. But the led must not be coerced, they must be able to choose their leader. In my opinion, an autocratic system of coercion soon degenerates; force attracts men of low morality... The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling. "This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of herd life, the military system, whichabhor... This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them! "The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity. In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man... I am satisfied with the mystery of life's eternity and with a knowledge, a sense, of the marvelous structure of existence -- as well as the humble attempt to understand even a tiny portion of the Reason that manifests itself in nature." These words I believe. Lenard Kritchman this is my Creed.
