Company Summary

MORE THAN A GROCERY STORE - A COMMUNITY GROCERY STORE. Join friends for an expresso, a microbrew on tap or warm ciabatta rolls and more. Join us on a Sunday afternoon for a small bluegrass combo with the kids grabbing their favorite homemade soda. Founders Market is more than groceries but a neighborhood meeting place and still providing blue ribbon meats, seafood, local organic vegetables and fresh prepared foods to go using local vendors!
