About us:

Jubilee Marketplace opened its first doors in 1999-2000 in NYC. For 20-plus years, we have been one of the first supermarkets to offer organic, gourmet, and specialty products.

Fast forward to 2023, when we open our biggest store in Greenpoint! We are pushing the boundaries of what a supermarket is by being the first supermarket to offer local, pasture-raised meat in a whole animal butcher shop. We dry age all of our own meats, have a cheese shop, a sustainable fish program, and we carry local organic produce with a local farm stand at the helm of the store front. We believe the future of supermarkets can be more than just common denominator goods.

Our goal in prepared food is to showcase the highest caliber of hospitality possible, meaning our guests should always feel at home and welcome. Our food should always reach above and beyond expectations, and our attention to detail should exceed our competitors.
