Business Description
Monnettes' Market was founded in 1951 at a stand outside a small carry out on Tremainsville Road in the Wernert's Corner area in West Toledo. John grew his own vegetables and added variety by going to the local farmers market. At the end of his first day in business, John had made a profit of $97.00. Realizing that he had a major business opportunity on his hands, John added a few more fruits and vegetables to his line and soon set up an area inside the store to sell his produce. John's father noticed that his son's business was beginning to take off and he built an entire addition to his liquor store which was dedicated to fruits and vegetables.
As time went on and the business grew, John's children soon began opening their own stores under the Monnette's Market name in other areas of Toledo. Michael Monnette opened a store on Reynolds Road in South Toledo, and brother Marc converted an old gas station into another market on Glendale Avenue in South Toledo. Eventually another brother, John Monnette Jr., bought the Reynolds Road store and Mike and Marc went into a partnership. Mike and Marc added the first deli to the Glendale Store and in 2005, opened a new store on the corner of Monroe and Alexis in Sylvania, Ohio which closed in 2011. John's daughter Linda, along with her husband JD, bought the old store on Tremainsville Road in 1994. In June 2006, JD and Linda opened a brand new store on Secor Road about a mile from the old store, and the original Monnettes' Market was sold to a flooring company.
Monnettes' has managed to avoid many of the modern methods of operating a grocery store. They do not use a scanning system like many supermarkets, instead all cashiers memorize every price of every product in the store. Cashiers are required to take a walk-through before their shift to look at prices, because they can change multiple times each day.
Each store typically employs two managers, one for Produce and the store overall, and usually one Deli Manager, who assist the owners in daily store operations.
