Our story begins in the produce business over forty years ago, to the days when Oliver's Market founder Steve Maass made his living selling produce off a roadside stand in San Francisco. He provided great products and service at roadside prices, a value that still holds true today. Steve founded Oliver’s Market in 1988 in Sonoma County. The original Oliver’s mission was simply “to create a store where people would enjoy shopping”. Exactly how that is manifested has changed over the years, as our company has grown from one to four stores and from 13 to 1,000 employees, but the core elements remain the same:
‍

• Provide Customers with Choice
• Keep the Focus Local
• Offer Fair Prices and Great Quality and Service
• Support Our Community
• Value and Support Our Employees
‍

At Oliver’s Market, we serve a large and diverse customer base. We have always operated our business on the premise that we are here to provide choices for our customers, and not make choices for them. We keep it real with a large selection of both natural and conventional groceries.
‍

As a local, employee owned Sonoma County business, we’ve built enduring relationships with local growers, makers, and manufacturers, because they make the foods and wines we love. Come see for yourself why we’re the best grocery store in Sonoma County.
