Jons Marketplace

JONS Marketplace is an independent grocery chain that has served Los Angeles County since 1977. The company began as a single store founded by a local family, aiming to offer a broad range of international foods to reflect the region’s diverse communities. Over the years, JONS Marketplace has steadily grown its presence, reaching a notable milestone in the early 2000s when it surpassed a dozen locations.

As of November 2025, JONS Marketplace operates 14 stores across Los Angeles County, with locations in areas such as Glendale, Van Nuys, and Torrance. The stores are recognized for their extensive selection of international groceries, fresh produce, and specialty items, catering to shoppers seeking authentic ingredients from around the world.

In the past five years, the company has focused on infill expansion, targeting underserved urban neighborhoods and high-density corridors. This strategy includes both ground-up developments and conversions of existing retail spaces, allowing JONS Marketplace to adapt its formats to fit a variety of urban environments. Recent growth actions include new leases in Glendale and North Hollywood, with additional sites under review for 2026.

JONS Marketplace’s approach to site selection and merchandising supports its international focus and enables the brand to anchor neighborhood centers with consistent grocery traffic. The chain’s steady expansion, flexible store formats, and established reputation make it a reliable tenant for landlords, brokers, and developers looking for stability and strong community engagement in Southern California’s competitive retail landscape.
