“In 1986, with absolutely no knowledge of business, I started a tiny market located in the Blue Mall, Dorset Street in South Burlington, Vermont. I truly wanted to feed my family differently, and different choices seemed very hard to come by.

I also had memories of the food markets I knew growing up. I remembered them as community meeting places, where neighbors ran into each other in the aisles. They seemed like much happier places to shop than the sterile, harshly lit supermarkets I visited each week. So, why not own a tiny food market that was dedicated to exactly the kinds of things I was searching for?

And what a journey it’s been since we started! I went from myself and one other person on staff to currently over 300 staff, from 1,200 sq. ft. to 35,000 sq. ft., from putting away the entire order by myself to having a team of grocery folks helping en masse, and from basically knowing zero about business to being pretty darn good at it! Our second store opened in Saratoga Springs, New York, and our newest store is in Williston, VT.

I still love the everyday routines, the customer interactions, the new product excitement, the seasonal changes, and the learning process. All I’ve learned over the years about running a business translates to taking care of people and delivering exceptional hospitality—which is, I believe, a good way to live!”
