Your neighborhood grocery.
IT ALL STARTED IN 1911
My grandfather, John Love Thom, opened his first grocery store in Northeast Harbor, Maine at the age of twenty. Over the years, small independent grocery stores like his all but vanished. I was inspired to create a modern new neighborhood grocery with an old-school twist. The first Austin Thom’s Market opened in 2007 on Barton Springs Road. There are now three locations, including East Riverside and Burnet Road. As a tribute to my grandfather, every store is anchored by an authentic, antique grocery counter, each over 100 years old!
LOCAL: This is the word that defines us. You’ll find everything from Green Cart breakfast tacos to our own Thom’s Blend from Anderson’s Coffee. Along with Austin’s best selection of locally made goods, our stores are brimming with a curated selection of natural & organic foods, delicious boutique wines, local & craft beers, as well as essential staples, pet & outdoor supplies and fun gifts. Thanks for supporting us and your Austin community. Shop Local!
Please stop in and say howdy 🤠

Before founding Thom’s Market in 2007, Bill spent the previous 30 years in the music business as CEO of Harmony House Records. Someday, he’d like to live in a palapa on a sun-soaked beach in a tropical paradise.

Lover of all the foods. Feeler of all the feelings. Buyer of all the fun things at Thom’s Market! If there is something new and interesting to eat, Robin will be the first to know. When she’s not working, she’s on a mountain biking adventure with her son, Noble.

Denise is head chief at our Barton Springs & Riverside stores and can most likely be found with a Topo Chico in one hand and a light saber in the other. She wants to make the world a better place, but is mostly here for the tacos.

Callie is head honcho at Burnet Road. She can be found sporting her latest thrift store find with a Yerba mate in hand. Ask her about her pups, the best roller skating spots, or her current favorite bevvie! burnet@thomsmarket.com
