History
I opened my roadside market in 1959 selling locally grown fruits and vegetables. The business grew over the years and in 1969 ... I moved my business to our present location on University Ave and tripled the size of the store.
Fresh meats, bakery and a deli were added to complement my fresh fruit and vegetables. In 1993 I doubled the size of the store to what you see today.
BoB's is a family-owned retail store that specializes in high quality perishable products. Our family has 40 years of experience with fruit baskets, allowing us to build a quality basket at a reasonable cost.
Produce
Produce is what BoB's is known for. We have over 50 years experience purchasing the best quality fruit and vegetables from our growers for our customers. Many of our growers we have purchased from for years and are our freinds, so we know that the product we receive is the best quality. Because BoB's is a smaller retailer, we are able to pick out the best product from our growers instead of taking large lots to fill all of the stores. BoB's specializes in ripe quality fruits and vegetables that are locally grown.
