The Story of Dorothy Lane Market®

On August 12, 1948 Calvin D. Mayne and Frank Y. Sakada opened the original Dorothy Lane Market¨ as a fruit stand on the corner of Dorothy Lane and Far Hills Avenue. The receipts for the Þrst day of business totaled $35.00. In spite of many hardships, hard work enabled the partners to expand their business and, in August of 1953, Dorothy Lane Market¨ was moved to its present location at 2710 Far Hills Avenue. Major remodeling fol- lowed in 1958, 1968, 1978, 1988, and 1998. A second store at Washington Square was opened in 1991. A third store in Springboro opened in 2002.

Cal Mayne was probably the best known independent grocer in the United States Ñ maybe even the world. He traveled extensively in this country and abroad speaking to grocers and other retailers about his business philoso- phy and practices that made Dorothy Lane Market¨ so successful. Mr. Mayne summed up his beliefs by saying, ÒMy methods are merely common sense and a deep concern for human beings. The secrets are how you price your goods, the productivity of your personnel, and how you care for their welfareÉwith tremendous emphasis on community service. Most important of all, unceasing attention to public goodwill.Ó These sound business practices enabled Mr. Mayne to Þght the big chains and win. Ownership of Dorothy Lane Market¨ remains in the Mayne family.

Dorothy Lane Market¨ is recognized throughout the country as one of the leading independent grocery stores. Its reputation has attracted visiting grocers from around the country and from as far away as Europe, Japan, and Australia.
