McCaffrey's Food Markets is a supermarket chain serving the Northeastern U.S. region. Established in 1980 in Northeast Philadelphia by Jim McCaffrey III, this family-operated enterprise currently manages nine stores located throughout Bucks County and Montgomery County in Pennsylvania, as well as Mercer County in New Jersey.
History
Jim McCaffrey III began his career in the grocery industry while attending college, initially opening a deli in Northeast Philadelphia in 1980. By 1986, he partnered with his son, Jim McCaffrey IV, to inaugurate McCaffrey's Food Market in Yardley, Pennsylvania, broadening their offerings to include fresh produce, dairy products, deli selections, and a wide assortment of groceries.
The company extended its footprint into New Jersey with store openings in Princeton in 1992 and West Windsor in 1996.
After a significant fire on February 29, 2004, caused extensive damage to the Yardley location. In response, McCaffrey's constructed a temporary 10,000-square-foot facility outfitted with refrigeration and plumbing systems to sustain full deli, bakery, meat departments, and grocery services.
Additional expansion efforts saw the launch of a Newtown, Pennsylvania store in 2012 at the site of a former Genuardi's supermarket. In 2016, the brand introduced Simply Fresh, a more compact 13,000-square-foot gourmet market situated in Doylestown on land previously used as a car dealership. That year also marked the opening of a 50,000-square-foot Blue Bell supermarket featuring upscale prepared meals and an on-site beer garden.
In January 2020, McCaffrey's opened another store in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Leadership continues under founder Jim McCaffrey III.
