Our Story

Family roots, fresh food, and a Wilmington community we're proud to call home.

Rooted in family. Grown in Wilmington.

At Biggers Market, our roots run deep. What began as a family produce business in the 1920s has grown into a Wilmington gathering place built around fresh food, real relationships, and an unforgettable local experience.

Biggers Brothers

Sven's grandfather and his brothers founded a family produce business in Charlotte, North Carolina. Together, they built a reputation for delivering farm-fresh fruits and vegetables across the Southeast. Their passion for quality, local food laid the foundation for everything we do today.

A roadside stand becomes Biggers Market

Nearly a century later, Sven launched Biggers Market with a simple mission: bring that same sense of community, local food, and memorable experience to Wilmington. A small roadside stand soon became a beloved local destination with two lively locations.

More than a place to shop

Today, Biggers is a gathering spot, neighborhood hangout, and celebration of everything local. From seasonal favorites and homemade meals to craft beverages and live music, we support Carolina farmers and makers while creating good food and good memories.

Our Core Values

These are the beliefs behind how we welcome, work, and care for our community.

Southern hospitality runs through everything we do.

We welcome everyone like a guest in our home, including team members, neighbors, and first-timers alike. We show respect, lend a hand, and serve with generosity and pride. It's the way we were raised, and it's how we care for our community.

We live by the rhythm of the seasons.

Good work follows nature's pace. As the seasons shift, so do our crops, our food, and our markets. It keeps us real, local, and connected to the moment we're in.

We create an experience worth remembering.

We aren't just a place to shop; we're a place to gather. Local food, music, and people are at our core. Every display, meal, and conversation helps turn everyday shopping into something special.

We work with pride and purpose.

We carry ourselves with an old-fashioned work ethic. No excuses and no passing the buck. When something needs doing, we step up, help each other get it done, and take pride in our craft.
