Mollie Stone's Markets: A Family-Owned Grocery Chain

Mollie Stone's Markets is a family-owned grocery chain established in 1986, dedicated to providing high-quality, natural, and organic products to the San Francisco Bay Area community. The company was founded by Mike Stone and Dave Bennett. The store is named in honor of Mike's mother, Mollie, recognizing her 45-year career in the grocery industry.

The first Mollie Stone's Market opened in Redwood City, California, focusing exclusively on natural and organic products. To meet community needs, the store expanded its range to include conventional necessities and popular name-brand items. This resulted in the "Best of Both Worlds" approach, combining healthy, natural, and specialty foods with everyday grocery essentials. This strategy sets Mollie Stone's Markets apart from traditional supermarkets.
