Woodman's Food Market

Super GemBloomingdale (suburb) · Grocery Store Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1 Stratford Dr, Bloomingdale, IL 60108

Woodman's Food Market traces back to 1919, when John Woodman opened a produce stand in Janesville, Wisconsin; his son Willard moved it indoors in 1921, and three more generations of Woodmans built it into a regional chain — the company became one of Wisconsin's first grocers to use UPC scanners in 1975 and has been 100% employee-owned since 1998.

This is the grocery store people drive across state lines for — no membership required, prices that make you wonder why every other store hasn't caught on yet.

This Bloomingdale location, which opened in 2021, is one of the chain's Illinois outposts, still running on the founding no-membership, low-price model -- the grocery floor never closes, though the attached liquor store keeps its own daytime hours.

Holds a 4.5-star rating across 2,000+ reviews and is a genuine destination for out-of-towners unfamiliar with the chain.
