Ward's Super Market
At Ward's we pride ourselves on sourcing from the Gainesville community and providing items you can't find anywhere else. We stock foods and goods that we believe in and want to use. Ward's Supermarket is a family-owned, local grocery store that believes in supporting the Gainesville community. Many of our employees are family members and those who aren't still feel like family.

Shop with us to witness the local difference. Ward's sources from a variety of vendors to get the quality food you and your family deserve. By selling locally-grown food, we're cutting down the time your food spends going from farm to table, decreasing the need for preservatives and increasing the quality of your food.
Services
In most places, the average dinner travels more than 1500 miles from field to fork. Ward's Supermarket strives to bring that number down. By purchasing local produce, meats, and a variety of other hand-crafted goods, we ensure the freshness of our food. Ward's Supermarket is Gainesville's premier source of fresh, local foods, and goods.
Tired of having to figure out what lies underneath the cellophane wrapper in the meat department at other grocery stores? At Ward's, we understand that you want to know a little bit more about what you eat. That's why we have experienced, friendly butchers on staff. Everyone behind the counter of our quality meats and seafood department can let you know not only what you're eating but also when it was packaged.
Our philosophy for fruits and vegetables is simple: they should always be fresh and seasonal, and they should always be picked at their peak. Although our selection varies with the seasons, you will always find a dazzling array of fruits and vegetables at Ward's Supermarket. Ward's Supermarket tries to provide everything you need for a healthy, well-balanced diet.
When faced with the decision between natural supplements and synthetic supplements, the choice is simple: natural supplements win. Made from food sources you actually recognize, natural supplements digest more easily. The body is better-equipped to deal with natural supplements, and supplements that come from organic sources are far less likely to have side effects than synthetic supplements.
In the mood for a treat? Come browse our chocolate wall stocked with more than three hundred varieties of gourmet chocolate. You may see chocolate options at other stores, but Ward's Supermarket prides itself on having a vast selection and amazing prices. We've got all the greats, like Lindt, Ghirardelli, Perugina, and Godiva, as well as many organic and fair trade choices.

One of the best places to shop. They have whole foods, great produce, fresh meat, wine's, herbs, skin care products and so much more!! They have great cooked foods as well e.g. smoked and barbecue chicken, ribs, pork chops, etc. As well as side vegetables and desserts.
Must try... Too much to name.

Great staff, great owner. Very homey environment packed with local organic foods and plànts. A great choice of dry bulk foods you can weigh yourself. They literally have everything you need for the kitchen and garden. Including their own variety of hot prepared homemade bbq on the go.. been shopping here for a long time and I still find my self having difficulty leaving this place. A true local gem.

Still a great place to shop! Fresh meats, great place to get hard to find items, super friendly staff!!! My only complaint, is that the prices have sky rocketed, but I know that prices for them have gone up, so they have to increase their's.

Wards is great! They have local produce, and an actual butcher! They make their own sausage even. Small older store... Often packed! Ask the staff when they recommend coming in to avoid the crowds.

This is my favorite grocery store in Gainesville. They always have really good fresh food from local resources. The staff is so wonderful and friendly. I recommend Wards to everyone. I know, when I shop at Wards, that I am supporting my local community and I try to shop there as much as I can.

Wow! My first time in Wards it was truly a delightful experience! Best fresh vegetables, fruits, cheeses, seafood... vitamins...they even had goats milk aroma therapy body soap. I was able to pamper my body and internally and externally. The team that works at Wards seem more like a family very knowledgeable very friendly and each individual has there own style. This is my new weekly stop. I had to include a photo of the most delicious beet I’ve ever had. The yogi tea selection was by far the largest I’ve ever seen.

This grocery store was clean and organized at the time of visit. They have fresh fruits and vegetables at a more cheaper price. They actually have a lot of interesting stuff like ground coffee and organics or natural soap and supplements. Also, don't forget to visit the spices aisle as they sell them for a more cheaper price than other store.
