At DLM we love good food, and we want to share that with our beloved customers. Besides that, our company has strengthened the value of integrity and service to the community by our formalized plan known as the Good Neighbor Program. By means of this program, the company has given over a million dollars to charity over the years.

Dorothy Lane Market, like many American food stores, began as a fruit stand. In 1948, Frank Sakada and Calvin Mayne began selling quality fruits and vegetables in the south Dayton, Ohio, area at the corner of Far Hills Avenue and Dorothy Lane (hence the name of the market, or DLM for short). Calvin and Frank cheerfully greeted their customers and shared their love for good food.

Today, Dorothy Lane Market is a company of three well-known gourmet supermarkets, and continues to be locally owned and operated by Calvin and Vera’s descendants. The stores offer all the staples with an emphasis on healthy and specialty foods. The company has been recognized for great food and service in national publications as well, including The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and Gourmet Retailer.
