Metcalfe’s Market may be nearing the century mark, but this is a family-owned business that always seems to be a step ahead of what’s next. A hot topic of late has been grocery delivery. Metcalfe’s Market has been doing that for 15 years. Grocers these days are putting a strong focus on perishables, including beautiful displays with lighting that enhances produce, but Metcalfe’s Market has been winning awards for doing the same thing for well more than a decade.

This is a progressive grocery retailer that has thrived by keeping to its roots. The company was started by an immigrant from Hungary who brought what he knew to America. Henry Hesz made his mark, and his descendants continue to seek and find the best there is in retailing so they can bring it home to the Midwest. That innovation, combined with the freshest possible perishables—with an emphasis on local products—and a deep commitment to community keep Metcalfe’s Market ahead of the pack.

  • Congrats to the Metcalfe Family!!! I’d supplied equipment for their stores in the past and found them to be really genuine and fair people who were very forward-thinking grocers.
