Freddie's Market

With its community friendly atmosphere and focus on personal service, Freddies Market has become something of a landmark in Webster Groves and a Bononi tradition. It all started in 1928 when Alfred Bononi Sr. came over from Italy. he and his brother purchased a farm and grocery store. Eventually the brothers made a deal and Alfred Sr. got the groce... ry store. In 1948, following in his fathers footsteps, Alfred Jr. (Freddie) bought a neighborhood grocery store in St. Louis. Twenty years later he expanded Freddies Market to its present location at Big Bend and Rock Hill Road. Now Freddies is in the capable hands of a third generation, Larry and Cathy Bononi, both gradutes of Webster Groves High School, 72 and 73. Freddies stocks USDA Choice, aged, hand-cut meats, grass-fed beef, fresh seafood, natural chicken and pork, honey-glazed boneless baked hams and Amish Turkeys. All of which can be prepared for customers in Freddies oven or smoker. We make sandwiches daily from our Boars Head meat/cheese selections and serve Hot Plate Specials for lunch, Larry Bononi said.
