Albeco, Inc., doing business as Mollie Stone's Markets, operates a small chain of nine supermarkets, located in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Mollie Stone's first market was in Redwood City, California, where they carried only natural and organic products without added sugars.
With demand not only for natural and organic produce, meats, and health and beauty products, but also more conventional wares such as vitamin-enriched cereals and name-brand products, Mollie Stone's shifted to the "Best of Both Worlds" system, offering these but still with a focus on healthy, natural, local, and specialty foods.
[1] Due to its community-oriented nature, Mollie Stone's provides additional services to customers with the goal of making shopping easier.
The Mollie Bus operates from the Castro and Pacific Heights locations to drive customers home with their groceries.
