A Trip To The Oldest Grocery Store In Montana Is Like Stepping Back In Time

In 1883, Montana was still six years from officially becoming a state. But that was the year that Worden’s Market opened in Missoula, and the grocery store is still open and thriving today.

Worden's Market is located at 451 N Higgins Ave., which is not its original location.

Since 1981, the market has been owned by Tim and Exie France, who expanded the inventory.
