Its portfolio includes Sea Mart Quality Foods in Sitka as the flagship full-service grocery, Market Center for groceries and daily essentials, Cascade Convenience Center for convenient shopping, Watson Point Liquors for specialty beverages, and Newtown Liquor in Ketchikan. The company traces its roots to a multi-generational commitment to quality and neighborly service, and has operated for more than 75 years in the region.
