Ingles Markets, Incorporated

A regional supermarket chain serving small towns across the Southeast, Ingles runs nearly two hundred stores under its Ingles and Sav-Mor banners, along with pharmacies, fuel stations, and its own milk plant and distribution center. Founded in 1963 by Robert Ingle in Asheville, North Carolina, a third-generation grocer, the company still carries the family name. Its Laura Lynn store-brand line is named after the founder's daughter.
