About Us
Andy's Market is a family run business started by Andy Andreo Sr. in 1951, on the
corner of Main Street and Maple Street in East Hartford, Connecticut. The location
was the size of one of today's 7-11 stores. Andy's father Dominic ran produce and
his mother Mary and wife Peggy ran the registers. In 1959 we expanded the size of
the store by moving up the street to 180 Main Street in a store half the size of
a Walgreens today. In 1969 we moved again, this time a mile south to our current
location, a store about 20,000 square feet in size.
In 1979 we opened our Simsbury store at 836 Hopmeadow Street. It was the site of
an abandoned Old First National store. Over the past 20 years both locations have
undergone expansions and remodels to bring them to their current sizes. The day
to day business is now run by Andy Jr. and John Andreo. They have tried to maintain
the good business values that Andy Sr. set forth in his first store in 1951. They
have friendly customer service, and quality products at a great value. We the Andreo
Family, thank you for the past 50 years of patronage, and look forward to serving
you for the next 50 years.
