The Churchill family opened the doors to their very first grocery store in Toledo in 1917, a single location where families could get all their groceries without having to brave the long trip downtown. Each morning, brothers Jim and Joe would drive down to the Erie Street Market, purchase produce, haul it back to the store and stock the shelves just to keep their family-managed market running and serving their community.

It wasn’t long before their hard work and passion for a quality grocery experience proved to be a recipe for success.

The Walt Churchill’s Market brand maintains its strong relationship with local farmers and local produce distributors, buying produce from farmers’ markets and continuing the family tradition started nearly 100 years ago by Jim and Joe.

Exceptional customer service. Unparalleled variety. A store that honors Midwest growers and producers. These are the hallmarks of the Churchill’s experience — something you won’t find anywhere else in Northwest Ohio.
