Our Standards Are Anything But


At Central Market, our pledge to you is simple. We promise to provide you with the best products available, the best service possible and enough information about food to satisfy your appetite for knowledge.

When it comes to your satisfaction, we couldn’t be more serious. Our dedication to quality is so absolute that no sale is final. Don’t hesitate to give us your feedback either — we love to share, and we welcome creative ideas. They help us make it all possible.
Where Does It All Come From?
Central Market’s procurement team literally travels the world to bring our customers unmatched freshness, quality, variety and value. This ensures that our customers receive the best of the best. 

Hands-on Buying – Unlike many conventional grocery stores, Central Market’s in-house procurement team works directly with farms, wineries, dairies, fishermen, ranchers and kitchens to ensure our aisles are filled with unique and delicious products.

Direct Importing – We have our own buyers in Europe who seek out the newest food finds on that side of the globe. We import our goods straight from the source instead of going through the middleman, so we can pass the savings along to you.

Culinary Know-how– Our team is constantly learning, attending classes at the Culinary Institute of America and other notable institutions, visiting vineyards, venturing out on fishing boats and sourcing the best foods — firsthand.

The Furthest Reaches – There are 195 countries in the world (by most accounts), and Central Market carries the best food imports from practically all of them. As a result, the range of our products can’t be matched.
