100 Years on Olive Ave
Olive Avenue Market has been a gathering place for generations — a beloved cornerstone of the Redlands community offering a unique blend of old-world charm and contemporary convenience.
1924
Founded on Olive Ave
Olive Avenue Market opens its doors at 530 W Olive Ave in historic Redlands, California. What begins as a simple neighborhood grocery store quickly becomes the go-to corner market for the surrounding community.

A Neighborhood Institution
By mid-century, OAM is woven into the fabric of Redlands life. Generations of families stop in on their way to school, work, and weekend errands. The market's reputation for quality and hospitality grows steadily.

Expanding the Craft
OAM evolves beyond the grocery staples to embrace artisanal prepared foods. Daily-made sandwiches, fresh pastries, and a growing selection of gourmet goods become the heart of the market's identity.
2008
Wildgoose Coffee Partnership
OAM partners with Wildgoose Coffee Roasters, bringing their mission-driven specialty coffee to Redlands. Since 2008, Wildgoose has donated ten pounds of food for every pound of coffee sold — a values match made for OAM.

Community Through Everything
Like every neighborhood business, OAM faces the challenge of 2020 with resilience. The community rallies around the market, reinforcing a bond built across nearly a century of shared mornings, lunches, and celebrations.
