Reputable grocers, longstanding roots.

The Merc is owned and operated by second-generation grocers with deep roots in Teller County. Our family has been in this business — and in this community — for a long time, and it shows in every aisle.

Three towns, one family.

Florissant, Divide, and Cripple Creek deserve real grocery stores. Full produce sections. A real butcher counter. Dairy stocked every morning. Not a two-aisle stop-and-shop, and not a 45-minute drive down the pass. We took over the Divide and Cripple Creek stores (formerly The Market Divide and Venture Foods) to bring the same standard we've held in Florissant to every town in the county.

The math is simple.

By the time you drive to Woodland Park, you've lost money. Gas, time, and one more trip through Ute Pass — all to buy groceries you can get better and fresher, right here at home. Shop local. Shop Merc.

Investing in Teller County.

We sponsor youth sports, donate to school drives, feed first responders on shift, and stock the food pantry every holiday season. When our neighbors succeed, we succeed. It's that simple.
