[edit] History

In 1951, Ted Hornbacher and his partner Jim Custer opened a SuperValu store at the corner of Eighth and Main Avenue in Moorhead. This was the start of what is now known as Hornbacher's. In 1956, the Northport location opened in north Fargo. This location housed the corporate offices until the opening of the Osgood location in 2006. In 1958, the Moorhead location was moved to a larger facility on the east side of Eleventh and Main. In 1974, the Village West location in Fargo opened across the street from West Acres Shopping Center. In 1975, Hornbacher's was acquired by Supervalu Inc. In 1990, the Express store in Fargo was added to the Hornbacher's family and in 1994 the Southgate location in Fargo opened.

In early 2006, Hornbacher's opened its sixth store in the Osgood, a suburb of Fargo. Also in 2006, Hornbacher's began it's "Hornbacher's To Go" home delivery service in Fargo. In October, 2006 Hornbacher's finished the remodel of its Northport store.
