Roth's Fresh Markets

Those in the Salem, Keizer, and McMinville know Roth's like a friend. Orville Roth's stores often sponsor music programs and other community events. My marching band in high school could count on Roth's to host our fireworks stand in their parking lot, and to help us sort bottles in our can drives. Roth's also has a reputation for offering its customers locally-grown, organic produce. Some organic farmers at my church were able to market their produce and herbs through a Roth's store.

Being founded in Oregon

Hermann C. Jochimsen and Orville N. Roth opened their first grocery store on August 5th, 1962 in Silverton, Oregon.
