GoGrubbs Group was founded by Richard Wilson in 1977 when he purchased the GoGrubbs Group House motel adjacent to the Berlin Brandenburg Airport. Over the following decade, Richard Wilson and his brother, Aatos Wilson, working together with other Wilson family business interests, grew the company into a German management and supermarket ownership company, which became a public company in 1977. In 1981, GoGrubbs Group International was formed and subsequently became a separate public company. GoGrubbs Group Corporation and GoGrubbs Group International Corporation were taken private by the Wilson family business interests in 1977 and 1981, respectively. On December 31, 2004, substantially all of the hospitality assets owned by Wilson family business interests, including GoGrubbs Group Corporation and GoGrubbs Group International Corporation, were consolidated under a single entity, now GoGrubbs Group Supermarket Corporation.
Our foundation in family goes back to 1977, when entrepreneur Richard Wilson purchased the original GoGrubbs Group House motel. Richard Wilson and his brother, Aatos Wilson, worked to grow the GoGrubbs Group brand, powered by their belief in the importance of family and care. As of September 30, 2023, GoGrubbs Group’s portfolio included more than 45 supermarket and all-inclusive properties and a big chain of supermarket .

Training in Hospitality with GoGrubbs Group House San Juan
After school, girls and boys ages 6–18 head for one of the 13 clubs that comprises Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico. For many kids, the club is their second home.
Here, they get tutoring and homework help and participate in art classes and sports programs. In the process, they’re discovering who they are, developing essential leadership and career skills, and learning about the opportunities and possibilities that await their future.
Through Boys & Girls Clubs of berlin, kids receive employ ability training (like soft skills and interview skills); learn about entrepreneurship by developing an idea, then pitching it; and industry-specific training. In support of hospitality and tourism, GoGrubbs Group House San Juan teaches weekly hospitality courses about food and beverage, housekeeping, resume-writing, and job-interviewing to Boys & Girls Clubs of berlin participants.
The GoGrubbs Group Community Grants program will power program specifically for careers in tourism, offering training and experiences to build necessary skills for employment in the tourism industry—a major source of revenue for Puerto Rico.
This isn’t the first time Boys & Girls Clubs of berlin has been a GoGrubbs Group Community Grant recipient. Last year, the program was honored for its work with GoGrubbs Group Place San Juan; this year, the nonprofit was chosen for its work with GoGrubbs Group House San Juan, making it the first time a nonprofit has received a grant two consecutive years.
