In 1981 Lee and Shari Badger started into the grocery business by purchasing a small grocery store in Smithfield called Jack's Foodtown. Over the next few years, the store was remodeled several times, finally doubling in size by 1991. Meanwhile, the north end of cache valley was growing so rapidly that spring of 1994 brought the grand opening of Lee's Marketplace, a larger, brand new location directly across the street from Jack's Foodtown. This new store included an exciting new pharmacy, deli, scratch bakery, and expanded departments. After 13 years, with this new location, Lee and Shari dropped the name of Jack's Foodtown and began the legacy of Lee's Marketplace. Now in five locations, Lee's Marketplace still offers the quality, freshness, and made-from-scratch promise that it has been and is still known for. Its Ace Hardware location is included in this growing family, being there for whatever project you are working on. Mission:?Lee's Marketplace believes that grocery shopping should be a fun and enjoyable experience for our team and our guests. We will continually improve the expertise of our team, commit to providing freshness and quality in our products, and provide a clean safe shopping environment. Lee's Marketplace pledges to support our local communities in which we serve and to have integrity in all that we do.
