Labeled the "Best of Both Worlds," Mollie Stone's provides essential grocery items along with a wide array of specialty and natural foods. Mollie Stone's leads the way in social media: customers will receive real-time support and service from the @mollie_stones handle on Twitter.

Mollie Stone's began as a natural and organic food market in 1985.

The Castro Market location joins eight other bay area Mollie Stone's Markets in Sausalito, Greenbrae, San Francisco (Pacific Heights), San Francisco (Twin Peaks), Palo Alto, San Mateo, Burlingame, and San Bruno.

"We don't believe bigger is better. We believe better is better. In this day and age when large national chains and foreign-owned specialty chains are vying for our local dollars and sales, Mollie Stone's offers locals the ability to keep all the revenues and spending here in the Bay Area. Mollie Stone's is filling the void for old style hometown quality, selection, and service," Bennett added. "We specialize in catering to customers who need (and deserve) extra attention and hard to find products, or those who simply need help or assistance. Call us old fashioned, but Mollie Stone's still treats customers one at a time. Always have. Always will."

Mollie Stone's was awarded the "Golden Spire Outstanding Business of the Year" award from the Marin County Board of Supervisors. This award honors the Marin County business that makes a significant contribution to the county's economic vitality while at the same time demonstrates corporate responsibility in terms of sustainability, generosity, and a progressive work environment.
