Town & Country Markets

We’re a local, family-owned company with a genuine connection to each of the communities we serve. It’s been that way for over 65 years. When it comes to business, we choose to do it in a way that nourishes the quality of life for our customers, our vendor partners, and our team. Born to parents from opposite ends of the globe, brothers John and Mo Nakata and their friend Ed Loverich all grew up together on Bainbridge Island. In 1957, their multicultural friendship evolved into a business partnership, one that brought great food from all over into one new place—the island’s first supermarket. They named it Town & Country Market. We love the way our name celebrates our casual, laid-back style, the freshly harvested foods we bring in from the countryside, and the beautifully crafted foods on our shelves. Our employees are the heartbeat of our deep relationships with guests and the communities we serve. They consistently share that T&C surpasses their previous work experiences in terms of passion, management, camaraderie, customer service, and the sense that they are positively impacting their communities. The way we look at it, our family includes farmers, fishermen, makers, distributors, and all the good people working throughout our company. We embody our core values, which include being of service to all, promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, fostering collaboration, prioritizing guest satisfaction, environmental, social, and fiscal responsibility, sharing knowledge, and upholding authenticity and integrity. Our employees enjoy a range of benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid vacation and sick leave, premium pay for work on Sundays and evenings, discount cards, opportunities for leadership development, a scholarship program, a 401(k) savings plan, profit sharing, pension, and more.
