Riverside Market

What Riverside Market does

Riverside Market is a privately held, independent regional grocery retailer operating two physical supermarket locations in Durand and Montrose, Michigan, with a stated firmographic founding year of 1948 and an employee count in the 101-250 range. The company serves local community residents and families across small-town Michigan trade areas via in-store grocery shopping across six core departments: Meat & Seafood (with in-house butchers handling custom cuts and special orders), Produce & Floral (with locally sourced items stocked early morning), Deli (prepared foods, fried chicken, sides, and a formalized catering tray line), Bakery (daily fresh-baked breads, desserts, and custom decorated cakes), Liquor/Beer/Wine, and Grocery/Frozen/Dairy (which includes the Our Family private label brand). Both stores operate seven days a week from 7:00am to 9:00pm with a broad set of in-store ancillary services including ATM, EBT/WIC acceptance, propane exchange, lottery, cake decorating, postage stamps, gift card kiosk, balloons, electric carts, and a Spring Garden Center.

The company's digital presence runs on the Webstop grocery website platform, providing a digital weekly ad, an online shopping list tool, an email newsletter sign-up, online account registration, and an extensive categorized recipe library with user ratings; it does not offer online grocery ordering or fulfillment. The marketing mix combines digital (weekly ad, email, Facebook, recipe content, shopping list) with traditional in-store promotional mechanics.

Riverside Market generates revenue through traditional in-store retail grocery sales across its departments, with no disclosed online pricing, no B2B or enterprise contracts, and no public revenue figures. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, serving general retail consumers for weekly grocery needs as well as for event-occasion purchases (deli trays, custom cakes, special meat orders). Ownership structure, investors, executive leadership, and any parent or subsidiary relationships are not disclosed in the available source data.
