About us

With it’s community friendly atmosphere and focus on personal service, Freddie’s 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 grocery store. In 1948, following in his father’s footsteps, Alfred Jr. (Freddie) bought a neighborhood grocery store in St. Louis. Twenty years later he expanded Freddie’s Market to its present location at Big Bend and Rock Hill Road. Now Freddie’s is in the capable hands of a third generation, Larry and Cathy Bononi, both graduates of Webster Groves High School, ’72 and ’73.

Freddies Market provides a full-service butcher and deli department, dairy, produce, frozen, groceries, bakery, beer, wine & spirits and a grab and go cold case.
