Ridley's Family Markets is a chain of grocery stores founded in 1984 in Payson, Utah. As of 2006 Ridley's operates 13 Supermarkets in Idaho and northern Utah.
[edit] History
In 1984, Jerry and Connie Ridley opened a 11,000 square feet grocery store in Payson, Utah. Ridley's first operated as an IGA franchise called Ridley's IGA Foodliner. Two years later in 1986, the couple sold their store in Payson and opened a Food 4 Less in Orem, Utah. Once again two years later Jerry and Connie Ridley sold that store and opened their store in Jerome, Idaho in 1988. Ridley's has been supplied by Associated Food Stores since the late 1990s before then it was supplied by Fleming Foods.
