Learn More About Our Rich History

The history of Folgarelli's Market & Wine Shop traces back to Detroit in the 1940s. Boniface "Fox" Folgarelli worked with Lombardi Foods, a traditional market in the old-world Italian style. He had grown up in the industry and spent his entire career with Lombardi until his retirement in 1976.


After retirement, Fox and his wife, Marge, moved to Traverse City to be close to their daughter, Donna, and her family. Despite enjoying the beauties of Traverse City and the joys of his grandchildren, Fox missed the work he left back in Detroit. Since Traverse City lacked an old-world market, Fox and Marge decided to fill that void. With the help of Donna's family, they formed Folgarelli's Market & Wine Shop in 1978.

Modeled initially after Lombardi's traditional market feel, Folgarelli's has undergone several changes since its founding but still retains the old-world charm that has made it Northern Michigan's cornerstone of old-world, gourmet food and wine. It remains a family business in its third generation of family ownership.
