Nielsen Brothers Market is one of the oldest grocery stores in the United States. Nielsen Brothers was founded in 1930 by Harold and Walter Nielsen offering fresh, locally sourced, natural and organic foods, wines and spirits. Nielsen Brothers was the first full service grocery store in Carmel By the Sea, the first grocery store to offer liquor after Prohibition was repealed and the first to offer local residents the convenience of home delivery services
Nielsen Brothers has been continuously family owned and operated for the last 94 years, and still locally owned and managed by an experienced husband and wife team that has renewed the store's commitment to the founder's vision of providing fresh, locally sourced, natural and organic foods, wines and spirits to our valued local residents and tourists.
