Riesbeck Food Markets is a regional supermarket chain operating in Ohio and West Virginia. Founded in 1925 by Adolph Riesbeck in St. Clairsville, Ohio, the company remains family-owned and operated. The grocery chain is known for its full-service supermarkets that typically include fresh produce departments, meat counters, bakeries, and delicatessens. The company expanded throughout the Ohio Valley region during the latter half of the 20th century, establishing locations in both metropolitan and rural areas. Riesbeck’s stores are particularly notable for their emphasis on local products and their commitment to serving smaller communities where larger national chains may not operate. Riesbeck’s operates approximately 13 stores across their service area, maintaining a significant presence in eastern Ohio and the northern panhandle of West Virginia. The company is recognized for its private label products and its “Riesbeck’s Rewards” customer loyalty program. Their stores also feature pharmacy services in select locations and offer online shopping options with curbside pickup services. The supermarket chain competes with both regional and national grocery retailers while maintaining its position as a community-focused business. Riesbeck’s is a member of the Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG) cooperative, which helps the company maintain competitive pricing and product selection despite its relatively small size.
