Local family-run grocery chain Zupan's Markets commemorates half a century of operation in Portland as a beloved neighborhood staple.
Zupan's Markets Celebrates 50 Years of High-Quality Groceries and Community
Zupan's Markets, a locally owned grocery store in Oregon, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025. Established in 1975 by John Zupan, a grocery industry veteran, the store has become a beloved institution in the Pacific Northwest.
This milestone anniversary is as much for the customers, associates, and partners to celebrate as it is for Zupan's Markets. The grocery chain is proud of its 50-year legacy and is grateful for the support received over the years.
To mark the occasion, Zupan's Markets is hosting a year-long celebration with monthly promotions. On the fifth of every month, Zupan's will feature five deals on a variety of items. For example, on June 5, 2025, items such as Smart Chicken Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Polar Seltzer Water, Zupan’s Watermelon Mint Feta Salad, Driscoll’s Blueberries, and Silver Oak Napa Cabernet Sauvignon were on sale at promotional prices [1].
Additional details on specific upcoming events beyond these monthly deals are not explicitly listed, but Zupan's continues to highlight anniversary-related promotions through their online presence and social media, indicating ongoing celebrations throughout the year [3].
One of the highlights of the anniversary celebrations is the limited-time 50th Anniversary EVOO from Durant Olive Mill. Zupan's Markets has partnered with Durant Olive Mill for this exclusive product [2].
Another exciting event is the return of the "BubbleZ" event this November. This festive tasting of champagnes and other sparkling wines will offer a fun and elegant way to celebrate the anniversary [4]. Tickets for the "BubbleZ" event will go on sale in September, with dates at Burnside and Lake Oswego locations.
Moreover, Zupan's Markets is more than just a shopping destination; it is part of the community fabric in various neighbourhoods. Cellar Dinners with Mike are being held in the exclusive Cellar Z private event space, providing an opportunity for customers to enjoy a meal and learn more about the store's offerings and history [5].
As of today, Zupan's Markets operates three locations in Portland and Lake Oswego [6]. If you want the most current details on events or promotions, checking Zupan's official website or their social media channels closer to your date of interest is recommended, as they frequently update with new anniversary activities and deals.
In the spirit of community engagement, Zupan's Markets continues to support local producers and offers thoughtful sourcing, personalized service, in-house culinary creations, and partnerships with Pacific Northwest producers [7]. The Z Cookie is expanding into two new products: a take-and-bake pack and a Z Cookie ice cream [8].
Zupan's Markets' 50th anniversary is a testament to their commitment to quality, community, and customer service. As they look forward to the next 50 years, they remain dedicated to providing the best shopping experience for their customers.
