Nugget Market

Family owned and operated since 1926, Nugget Markets has been offering an extraordinary grocery experience since the very beginning. Father and son team, Will and Mack Stille, set the bar with their focus on quality and service, and now nearly 100 years later, the fourth and fifth generation of Stilles are keeping that commitment as strong as ever.

Since the beginning, Nugget Market, Inc. has focused on quality, selection, low prices and above all, guest service. These mainstays are the foundation for all of our company’s formats: Nugget Markets, Food 4 Less Woodland, Fork Lift by Nugget Markets and Sonoma Market. Serving the Sacramento Valley, Marin County and Sonoma Valley regions, each one of our 16 beautiful stores is powered by our love of food, passion for excellent service and commitment to our amazing guests and associates.
