More Than 100 Years
The Fisher Family Market on South Pearl Street in Bridgeton brought together four brothers and their families in the early 1900s. The market is adjacent to the Bridgeton "Train Station" and provides fresh fruits, vegetables, and cattle. The cattle were brought to process at the modern-day slaughter and smokehouse that was located behind the store on Lemon Street.
Progress and Growth
As the families grew, so did the Fisher's Markets, with locations in Pennsgrove, Cedarville, Millville, and multiple facilities in Bridgeton. This included Fisher's Market at 32 N. Laurel Street, which was across the street from the "Super" American Store. The Louis Fisher Market was able to prosper with canned goods and meats from the early 30s until the late 70s.
Humble Beginnings
The one-room slaughterhouse on Almond Road that still partially stands today and the front room meat market near Gerhsal and Almond Roads in Norma are memories of the Kravitz family whose daughter Pauline joined forces in marriage with Ed Fisher more than 70 years ago. They eventually operated Fisher's Market in Bridgeton and, currently, Main Street Supermarket in Millville.
The Main Street location, "Main Street Supermarket," was established on March 6, 1973. With 50 years on Main Street, the business prospers with a unique mix of fresh foods convenient to the Route 49 corridor. The Fisher Family have served generations of families and are proud to be members of the community.
