Best Market, also known as Best Yet Market, was founded in New York by the Raitses family in 1994. The company’s focus is on fresh produce and meats, but they also offer other types of groceries, including the family label BBQ sauce and local craft beer.
In 2002, the company changed its name to Best Yet Markets, but some older stores are still labeled with the old signage.
The company began as a corner fruit and vegetable stand but quickly moved into larger quarters. Today, Best Market has 30 stores in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. A flagship store was opened in Harlem, New York, in 2010. 
Beginning in 2015, the company began expanding through acquisitions, usually taking over A&P locations. Many of the newer locations are going green, getting their electricity from rooftop solar panels, an all-hybrid vehicle fleet and electric charging stations for employees and customers.
The company announced that it would soon move headquarters from Bethpage, New York, to Bay Shore, Long Island, as part of a tax incentive, although a move date has yet to be announced.
Currently, the company employs approximately 3,000 employees and has headquarters in Bethpage, New York.

This is concerning the merrick store. Approximately 8 months ago, I made a complaint against Franz, the closing asst manager. I continue to shop there
at least 3 times a week. I have a bad habit of not saving receipts, I have at times,
needed to return items. Last evening, I purchased kosher salmon in great neck to return it as I was shopping nearby. The salmon smelled funny and I attempted to return it, it scanned at 8.50, although I paid 14.00. The front end manager, {glasses, long waivy hair} refused to take it back and shouting,” you never have a receipt”. Franz came to the front and also began to shout that,” this is the second time your returning fish without a receipt, go back to great neck.” I related that I to great neck did not seem reasonable to drive back there and if he did not recognize the label to phone the store. ” He further stated that I always cause trouble and he is telling jay that he does not want me back,” The front end manager stated she was calling the police. I got mad and cursed at her, not good, but I was irritated. Franz told me to get out of the store. How did such a simple matter turn in to a shouting match? Why does this assistant manager or front end manager think it is ok to yell at a customer.? I believe Franz is extremely unprofessional and I am being wrongly harassed and targeted,. I am very upset and want clarification. Please contact the district manager to investigate this matter. I spend on average 125.00 weekly there or east meadow where I have never had a problem. By the way, I eat salmon every day and sometimes its not good, from now on I will save receipts. This man has no grounds to throw me out of a store. thank u
