Central Market Weather

Town & Country Markets Inc. is a locally owned and operated independent retail grocery company. Founded in 1957 when John and Mo Nakata and Ed Loverich opened the Town & Country Thriftway on Bainbridge Island, we currently operate six stores in the Puget Sound area.

Our Town & Country Market on Bainbridge Island, Ballard Market and Greenwood Market operate under the Town & Country banner. These are truly “neighborhood” markets, and each is as unique as the communities they serve.

The Central Market concept was born with the opening of Central Market in Poulsbo in 1995. In 2000, our Shoreline Thriftway was remodeled to become our second Central Market. The third Central Market opened in September of 2004 in Mill Creek. The Central Markets are “destination” food stores, as the broad scope of quality, selection and value offered entice folks not only within the neighborhood to shop, but also people from surrounding areas.

In each of our Markets we strive to offer the freshest, highest quality foods available. With features such as exceptional produce, a wide selection of natural and organic foods, superb fresh seafood, bulk foods, natural meats and specialty foods, we intend to satisfy the needs of a diverse array of shoppers. Our staff members are friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about good food.

Mission Statement

We operate innovative retail grocery stores with diverse formats, in select locations, dedicated to serving our customer's needs while recognizing our obligations to the community and responsibility to the environment.

Careful selection and support of our employees personally and professionally create an atmosphere of mutual respect, trust, and teamwork.

Quality, diversity, and profitability drive our organizational structure and operating systems, which fulfill our commitment to our customers, employees, and suppliers.
