Our Story
The Birth of a Great Idea
Ideal Market opened their first store on Ursulines street in New Orleans in 2000. They quickly gain a reputation in the neighborhood for their fresh products, fair pricing, and great relationships with their customers. The vision and imagination of the owners provided the foundation for their rapidly growing grocery empire.
From its inception, Ideal Market has been committed to provide their customers with the highest quality, authentic Hispanic food products at a competitive price, all while maintaining the highest standards in service, product quality, flavor, and authenticity.
