Bi-Rite Market

When Sam Mogannam took over Bi-Rite Market from his father and uncle in 1998, he brought a chef’s perspective from years of running his own restaurant: treat customers as guests in your own home, pay meticulous attention to detail in how you prepare and serve your food, and search never-endingly for the finest ingredients from the bounty available to us in Northern California. Our kitchens are our beating hearts, located right in the middle of our Markets, so you can smell the food as it’s being created by our talented Chefs. We smoke our own salmon and bacon, whip up hummus from Mom Mogannam’s recipe, and make risottos from scratch for our nightly to-go dinners menus. What makes the food at Bi-Rite so good? We believe it’s the fact that we care–that every product on our shelves has been chosen for the story behind it and, just as importantly, because it tastes great. We establish direct relationships with these producers, because we want to know the whole story right from the source. Mission: Creating Community Through Food We believe that food does more than nourish: food brings people together. It’s our responsibility to build meaningful relationships with each part of our extended family; the food we make and sell connects our staff, our guests, our producers and the environment. In this way, we “create community through food”.
