Martindale's Natural Market

Known As the Oldest Natural Foods Store in the USA. Thomas Martindale opened a food store in Olde City, Philadelphia in 1869. The store included a lunch room, some office space and a set up to manufacture a coffee substitute. The foods served in the lunchroom were salads, soups, the Martindales coffee substitute, Mate tea, healty baked goods without the use of sugar and ice cream from Bassett's. The ice cream was sweetened with honey and the baked goods with honey and maple syrup. Thomas C. Martindale would talk with people about becoming vegetarians, or at the very least, reducing their intake of meat and sugar. Thomas Martindale's idea of health foods was simple. Whole grains, whole wheat, no sugar, fiber foods and eliminate junk food. Later a juice bar was added where they made vegetable juices, yogurt and fruit juices. In 1971, Martindale’s opened a store in the Olde Sproul Shopping Village in Springfield, Pa. Today the Martindales message of Caring from the Heart reaches into the lives of people locally as well as those at greater distances. Our focus is on caring for our staff, our customers, our community and our resources.
