Dierbergs Markets is a privately owned, family-run business in its 4th generation of leadership. Originating in 1854 with its first location on Olive Street Road, it has grown to 27 stores primarily in the St. Louis region, with two stores in Illinois, and one in the Ozarks. In addition, there are two facilities; a Central Kitchen and Produce Row warehouse which supports the store operations. Dierbergs currently has over 3,000 Associates company-wide who share in our 170-year history and uphold our reputation built on hard work, personal service and a commitment to meeting the growing needs of our area through Community service. Values & Culture At Dierbergs, we recognize that our continued success can only be achieved through the enthusiastic team effort of all associates; therefore, we pride ourselves on selecting associates that exemplify our high standards. Because we believe our associates are our most important asset, we will always strive to create a culture that encourages teamwork and open communication. From time to time, we are asked, “What’s the secret to Dierbergs success?” We know that it is cliché, but at Dierbergs, we’ve always put people first. It’s a philosophy that has been the foundation of the Dierbergs culture. ~Bob Dierberg, Chairman of Dierbergs Markets.
