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 1913 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 it's fourth generation Brian Bononi, the son of Larry and Cathy Bononi, who both are graduates of Webster Groves High School, ’72 and ’73.
