Ward’s Supermarket marks 75 years serving Gainesville

Ward’s Supermarket is celebrating its 75th anniversary, having first opened in 1951 as a fruit and vegetable stand started by owner Danielle Ward-Breeden’s great-grandfather. The family-run store has grown from an open-air stand into a full grocery, with its emphasis on locally sourced produce and attentive customer service credited for its longevity. Ward-Breeden says prices remain competitive with chain supermarkets, particularly on produce sourced directly from nearby farms.
