About Us

The Family Owned Markets idea started in 2003 with 3 family ownerships representing 5 stores. Our purpose was to share ideas and combine our resources together to enhance our marketing and advertising efforts, but more importantly, to combine our buying power to lower our costs, allowing us to pass these savings on to you, our customers, in the form of lower prices.

In 2023, we celebrated our 20th Anniversary.  Our group of stores has continued to grow over the years. We now have 8 stores represented by 5 family ownership groups. Our marketing area spans south central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland with stores in Lancaster and York counties in Pennsylvania, and Harford County in Maryland.

The increased buying power helps us to be able to buy better and pass those savings on to our customers. As always, we place a HIGH priority on supporting and buying from our LOCAL suppliers. We pride ourselves on the quantity and quality of locally sourced fresh meats and produce which our stores carry everyday.

We look forward to continuing to grow and cater to you, our customers, who truly are part of our FAMILY! Thanks for supporting us for 20 years and we look forward to seeing you in our stores for many more years to come!
