Pat and Bud Roche opened the first Roche Bros. in 1952 in Roslindale. This first meat and produce store expanded in 1957 to include groceries. From there, the company grew with the opening of stores in Needham and West Roxbury. In 1970, Westwood opened as the first “department” concept of merchandising, adding a bakery, florist and restaurant to make shopping more enjoyable for customers.

The first Sudbury Farms debuted in 1980 in Sudbury. A new and exciting concept featured one of the largest bulk produce departments, a deli kitchen with homemade salads and an amazing selection of prepared foods – a trend that has swept the supermarket industry.

Now, fifteen Roche Bros. and three Sudbury Farms family owned supermarkets continue to earn respect nationally for innovative ideas, the freshest foods and the highest levels of personal service.

From the beginning Pat & Bud Roche felt that every associate and customer was a member of their extended family. They celebrated their joys and were there to lend a hand in need. They truly lived by the “Golden Rule”.

The “Golden Rule” has become the Roche Bros. motto. Treating each other with the greatest amount of respect has made Roche Bros. a workplace second to none. It is a known fact that when you begin your career at Roche Bros., you will surely stay until retirement. Today, Roche Bros. is proud to say that there are over 300 dedicated and loyal associates that have 20 years or more of service.

As Roche Bros. continues to grow and become part of new communities, it will be our extended family of associates that will offer the highest quality of products and service to our customers.
