Fligners Market traces its origins to 1924, when Harry and Morris Fligner founded the Lorain Cut-Rate Fruit Company. In 1963, Kel Fligner purchased the store and expanded it from a 2,000-square-foot produce storefront into a 35,000-square-foot market, maintaining its identity as an independent grocer in the face of national chain competition. The family’s commitment to superior products, exceptional service, and low prices remains central to its mission. Today, the business is led by the fourth generation, with Ben Fligner continuing the legacy. The market partners with Mercato to offer online shopping and local delivery, allowing customers to order groceries and catering options with ease.
