ST. PETERS, MO — Joe’s Market Basket’s newest location in St. Peters is celebrating its first anniversary this month.

General manager Andy Klos said since moving into the new location a year ago, the property looks quite a bit different.

“It’s been a busy year,” said Klos. “We’ve been thrilled with the interest we’ve seen from the community and we’ve also made a lot of updates to the property to help people have the best shopping experience possible. This may be our first year in St. Peters, but Market Basket (which was founded in Edwardsville) has been in business 50 years and our top goal has always been customer service. We want to provide everything a customer or contractor needs for a landscape project from start to finish.”

Klos said over the last year, the St. Peters location has added sidewalks throughout the property and 17 bulk bins of materials, including mulch, decorative rock, driveway rock, and covered topsoil. Klos said Market Basket also expanded its landscape material yard to accommodate the hundreds of pallets of Versa-Lok and Keystone retaining wall blocks and their large selection of Romanstone pavers. All totaled, the location has about five acres of landscaping materials including its three large greenhouses, which hold a wide variety of annuals, perennials, herbs, blooming tropicals, succulents and trees.

Market Basket is a family-owned business with four Illinois locations in Edwardsville, O’Fallon, Godfrey and Troy.
