Why Do Neighbors Keep Coming Back to the Same Corner Store for 68 Years?

Fresh bread. Cold cuts. Groceries that actually taste like they did yesterday. Ritas of 2nd and Grange isn't just a market — it's the pantry your block has trusted since before most of us were born.

A Corner Store That Grew Up With a Neighborhood

When Rita first opened the doors on North Mascher Street, the block was already humming — corner conversations, kids on bikes, the smell of fresh rolls drifting out the door. Six decades later, that rhythm hasn't changed. Neither have the standards.

What you'll find here isn't arranged for Instagram. It's arranged for you — the mom grabbing ingredients for Sunday dinner, the shift worker needing a quick hot meal, the regular who's been paying cash since the Clinton administration.

Family-Owned Since Day One

Three generations deep, still run with the same attention to the regulars who matter.

Curated, Not Cluttered

Every shelf is stocked with intention — quality over quantity, freshness over turnover.

Known by Name, Not by Loyalty Card

You walk in, you're greeted. That's not policy — that's just how we do things.

More Than a Corner Store.
More Than Groceries.

From the bakery case to the deli counter, every section of Ritas is designed to make your weeknight dinner easier and your weekend spread impressive.

Fresh-Baked Every Morning

Loaves that crack when you tap them. Rolls soft enough to forget about dieting. Made here, sold here, gone by noon.

Deli & Groceries

Sliced to Order, Priced Fair

Ham, turkey, cheese — cut right in front of you. Plus a fully stocked grocery floor with everything from staples to specialty imports.

Colorful fresh produce including fruits and vegetables

Produce That Actually Looks Fresh

Tomatoes that taste like summer. Greens that haven't seen a freezer. We rotate our stock daily because wilted food doesn't belong on our shelves.

Ready When You Are

No time to cook? Neither do we. Hot meals pulled fresh — the kind your grandmother would approve of, and your schedule demands.

Refrigerated beverages and drinks on display

Cold Drinks, Always

Soda, juice, water, beer — the cooler's always stocked and always cold. Because a warm drink is a tragedy we won't tolerate.

The Stuff You Need, Without the Hunt

Paper goods, cleaning supplies, snacks, school things — the overlooked essentials that make a neighborhood market indispensable.

What People Say About Shopping Here

“

I've been shopping at Ritas for over twenty years. The bread is always fresh, the people are always friendly, and I've never walked out without finding everything I came for.

— A Regular on 2nd Street

Shop local, live local

“

This is what a real neighborhood market should feel like. You walk in and someone knows your name. The deli sandwich I get here is better than anywhere else in the city, honestly.

— A North Philly Local

Family dinners, every week

“

Moved to the area five years ago and Ritas became my go-to on day one. Clean, well-stocked, and the kind of place that makes you feel like you actually belong in the community.
