100 Years & Still Going Strong
In 1925, Maurice and Sara Klein embarked on a journey that would shape the future of grocery retail in Maryland. They opened a small general store in the rural village of Fallston, Maryland, laying the foundation for what would become Klein’s Family Markets. Over fifty years later, their son Ralph, alongside his wife Shirley and their sons Andre, Michael, and Howard expanded the business, growing it into a network of nine thriving supermarkets throughout Harford County, Baltimore County, and Baltimore City.
Today, Klein’s Family Markets is proudly led by a fourth generation of the Klein family, who continue to uphold the values of hard work, community, and excellence in customer service that Maurice and Sara instilled from the beginning. In October 2008, Klein’s Family Markets took a significant step forward by joining the Wakefern Cooperative. By March 2009, all of Klein’s Family Markets stores proudly transitioned to the ShopRite banner, solidifying their commitment to providing exceptional products and service to the communities they serve.
With more than 900 associates employed full- and part-time across their stores, Klein’s Family Markets has established a strong presence. From its humble beginnings to its current position as a leader in the grocery industry, Klein’s Family Markets remains a family-owned business focused on providing the best for its customers and employees, striving to live up to its motto: One Family. Serving Tenaciously. Executing with Excellence.
