Defining Local

When we say a product is local, that means it comes from only Sonoma County. Period. Some national chains consider local to mean “anywhere in California,” or within a seven-hour truck ride to their warehouse. When you look at a business from a statewide or national perspective, it’s easy to see that local means something totally different to others. At Oliver’s, Local Means Sonoma County, plain and simple.

Why Local Matters

Along with local products being excellent choices for taste and quality reasons, buying locally also improves our local economy. The dollars you spend at local retailers buying local products supports other local businesses too! Studies have shown that a dollar spent at a local retailer, like Oliver’s, can impact the local economy more than twice as many times as a dollar spent at one of the national supermarket chains. You can make a difference for our local community every time you shop, because more of your dollar stays here, improving things such as roads and parks, as well as creating more jobs in the community.

Our Commitment to Local

At Oliver’s, we are committed to supporting the local economy by carrying the largest possible selection of locally produced products in Sonoma County, all at the best prices we can offer. Up and down every aisle, we’ve clearly marked over 6,000 Sonoma County products with a “Made Local” circle. Our store receipts also show how much of your purchase comes from products that are made right here in Sonoma County. At Oliver’s, we’re doing everything we can to be your local supermarket, as well as supporting the community that makes Sonoma County such a wonderful place to eat, drink, live and work.

Thanks to you, it really does pay to shop local because when you support us, we support them.
