Fairway Market

Our humble beginnings as a small, corner, fruit & veggie stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, is still at the heart of our business. Since the 1930's, when our doors first opened, Fairway Market has been committed to bringing our customers excellent values, wide varieties, and the freshest foods. The neighborhood truly embraced the unique food experience Fairway offered. Food-lovers traveled across town to shop with us, and soon the vision of expansion was realized. The partners brought in specialty imports and started hiring a crew of ambitious, hardworking foodies who would one day become Fairway's experts and department heads. The flagship store took over the space next door, and by the mid-1980's talk of Fairway Market was reaching a fever pitch all over town and beyond. We were always first to offer unique, different, imported, things-you-didn't-know-existed foodstuffs. Our great values captured lots of attention and the new-and-improved product offering earned a new-found respect. Today, it's hard to envision the slender store that we once were. Our stores all offer the historical character and principles of our first: high quality fresh foods; a wide variety of unique selections; treasured relationships with small vendors and farmers; and exclusive new products. We encourage all of our customers, current and future, to explore the world of food with enthusiasm and an open mind. Start by taking in the aromas and tastes of the finest foods at Fairway Market.
