Paul's Markets have roots in the Louisville area that extend back to the early farm-to-market days of the 1890s. Our founder, Paul Thieneman, grew up in the farming country that lay along the Ohio River in south Louisville and was the grandson and son of truck farmers. His grandparents were the first to have irrigated crop fields at their farm on Campground Road. They trucked their produce in a horse-drawn cart eight miles to market in downtown Louisville. Local farmers formed a company and established the Louisville Haymarket in the area bounded by Jefferson, Liberty, Floyd, and Brook streets. Today Paul’s Markets continues to provide fine fruits, vegetables, and gourmet items in four retail locations with distribution and gift basket operations at Jennings Lane. Paul’s advice to the third generation, including all the grandchildren, is simple: Be open to new ideas and new ways to grow. Always changing with the times is how Paul’s Markets will remain fresh for years to come.
