Meet Rick

At Market of Choice, we believe every decision we make has a ripple effect. That is why we support local farms and vendors whenever possible, so that you can too.

I’m Rick Wright, president of Market of Choice. Family owned and operated for 32 years, we have built our business around listening to our customers. When they told us they wanted conventional and organic products all in one place, we made it happen. Today, our customers tell us that when offered a choice, they’d prefer to buy local.

Buying local is not only good for the environment – it takes less energy to transport goods that are made nearby – it’s also an easy way to support the local economy. When customers make that same choice, they help sustain local farmers, vendors, their families and their employees. It’s a full-circle philosophy that translates into a healthier community.

Our community commitment is also reflected in how we treat our employees, by providing competitive, family-wage jobs and benefits for more than 700 employees at our eight Market of Choice stores. That kind of commitment fosters deep loyalty – we’re proud to say that some of our employees have been here since our inception.

When we decided to upgrade our website, we had you in mind. Chocked full of useful information, our blogs, recipes and customized specials are truly food for the way you live.

We know that each customer is different, so we’ve made it easy for you to receive only the information you want and need. Create a My Market page by signing up, then decide what interests you most.

Join our online community and visit often!

– Rick Wright, President
