Bringing people together around the cooking and sharing of good food.
In November 1982, Irv Gronsky and Mike Burbank were moving towards retirement. They decided to sell their high-end meat business, which supplied restaurants and butcher shops. They weren't quite ready to stop working, so they decided to try their hand at retail. They believed they could build a loyal customer base if they sold fresh, high-quality meat merchandised like you would find in a butcher shop. The duo opened the first Bristol Farms in a space once occupied by a large chain store in Rolling Hills, California.
As you might imagine, meat was the centerpiece of that first store, complemented by fresh produce. Eventually, the store added a full offering of grocery departments and an adjacent café. The meat department was full-service, everything beautifully displayed behind glass, and nothing overwrapped like the industry traditionally stocked. They had a commissary in the back, so the food was made fresh and brought to the case daily.
Fast-forward to today, and Bristol Farms has 13 locations throughout Southern California. Our offerings include fresh, locally sourced produce, meat, and seafood; an array of exclusive and private label items throughout our aisles; a full-service food service department with several exciting items our guests can have for lunch or take home for dinner; and an amazing bakery that creates the one and only The Cookie daily.
