Riesbeck Food Markets, Inc. Information

Riesbeck Food Markets, Inc. is an employee and family owned & operated supermarket organization serving customers in 14 store locations throughout Ohio and West Virginia. The organization began as a result of a family tragedy. In 1921, Clement Riesbeck died unexpectedly. His wife, Margaret Schumacher Riesbeck, survived him along with their five children: Charles, Marguerite, Paul, Mary, and Bernard. As a means to support her young family, “Grandma” Riesbeck opened the first “corner grocery” store March, 1925 on N. Main St. in Woodsfield. In 1936, Riesbeck Food Markets, Inc. was formally chartered as an Ohio corporation. Grandma and her five children became the founding stockholders. Today, Riesbeck Food Markets, Inc. has grown to consist of 14 stores and six pharmacies. The company serves customers in seven counties in Ohio and West Virginia and has over 1,200 employees. Along with an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, family members are still actively involved in the company today. Our vision is a most positive food and supermarket experience for our customers in a company culture, which creates a meaningful quality of life opportunity for owners, employee-associates, and all stakeholders. The levels of quality, service, and value provided to our customers and to one another exceed expectations. Our mission is to make Riesbeck's the best place to work and the best place to shop!
