The original Steve’s Garden Market began in Graham in 1988 as a small, community-focused store built on a simple idea: to provide quality products, friendly service, and a place where neighbors could rely on fresh food and honest value. What started as a local market has grown over the years alongside the community it serves, expanding its offerings and adapting to meet changing needs while staying true to its roots.

The Hillsborough store started with the same vision from the beginning. As the business continued to grow, that vision naturally evolved—shifting toward a stronger focus on prepared foods, deli favorites, and creating a welcoming place to gather for breakfast, lunch, and coffee. Today, the Hillsborough location reflects that next chapter as a deli, bakery, café, and specialty market, while the Graham store continues on with the same commitment and tradition that started it all - with a neighborhood butchery and market with local produce. Through every stage, Steve’s has remained grounded in community, quality, and a dedication to serving people well.
