Serving the Washington Metro Area Since 1875

Magruder's is Washington's neighborhood store. We're owned by a family of Washingtonians, born and raised here. We have what you need quality groceries with affordable prices and convenient locations.

Our roots go back more than a century to Commodore John Magruder, who owned and operated two stores, one near the Chevy Chase Circle area and the other in Georgetown. These stores specialized in imported products for the cosmopolitan tastes of both Washingtonians and foreign dignitaries, while catering to the carriage trade with personalized service.

Under the steady and innovative ownership and direction of our management team, Magruder’s continues to deliver high quality products with friendly, effective service. With carriages long gone, were now serving your neighborhood in 11 diverse and convenient locations. We are a family owned and operated company, and are committed to providing you with what you're looking for in a neighborhood market: freshness, first rate goods, and reasonable prices.

Fresh Produce ~ We cater to the culinary diversity of Washington market by offering an abundance of international and exotic fruits and vegetables from around the world.

Yellow tomatoes and Key limes are available all year round. Our energetic and busy produce buyer returned from a trip to Mexico and brought back special Champagne mangoes and Maridol papayas, big as footballs and prized in southwestern cooking!

No item is to humble for our special attention. Potatoes are comfort food for all. Our restaurant size Idaho potatoes are formidable--bigger than you find in most steakhouses. On the opposite side of the spectrum, we always have a good supply of those tiny red, white, and Yukon gold potatoes, about the size of marbles and packed in quart containers--always fresh and always easy to fix. Our produce buyer is especially proud of our Louisiana sweet potatoes, and we encourage you to try them.

We believe local is best whenever possible. Magruder's is very proud of its relationships with its growers. Lots of big stores can't take advantage of local produce in the same way that our small group of neighborhood stores can. In the summer, farmers in upper Montgomery County and the Eastern Shore bring us home grown tomatoes, berries, green beans, lima beans, and watermelons. You get the true flavor from the field to your dining table in a matter of hours and days, not weeks. Our produce is as fresh and flavorful as any farmers market!

Quality Meats ~ Magruder’s is also a full service butcher shop. They offer only the best cuts of beef and poultry, such as prime Black Angus beef, Purdue chicken, and many other premium brands. The butcher at the store will bone, cut and trim your selection in any manner that you select.

Magruder's is the only group of markets licensed to sell Certified Angus.

Beef in Washington. Certified Angus Beef is selected from the top 7 percent of Angus cattle that has met ridged quality standards for marbling, tenderness, and leanness. All Certified Angus Beef is labeled at least Choice by the USDA, and some is USDA prime, but at Magruder's you pay no more for this choice product than for lower grades beef in larger markets. Served in 5-star restaurants, this beef can now be served in your home. Magruder's is pleased to offer you the highest quality and best tasting poultry available. Magruder's Gold Label chickens are all natural USDA Grade A birds, raised for us by a grower in Delaware and selected for our stores for their consistent quality and flavor.
