==History==
Woodman's Markets was started in 1919 by John Woodman, as a produce stand on the corner of Milton & Sherman Avenues in Janesville, WI. John's son, Willard, would later join his father, and in 1921 they built an indoor location on the original produce stand corner. The company continued grow throughout the middle 20th century, and in 1956 opened a second Janesville location. (The original two stores would eventually close, and be replaced by one larger store in 1973.〔http://www.woodmans-food.com/about/history/〕) Willard's son Phil joined him in managing the company in the 1960s, and remains President today. In 1971 Woodman's opened their first location outside of Janesville, in neighboring Beloit. In 1975 Woodman's became the first Wisconsin based grocery store to begin using UPC scanners.
Since the late 1970s, Woodman's has opened an additional fifteen stores throughout Wisconsin and Illinois. Notable openings include the Kenosha, WI and Rockford, IL stores. The Kenosha location, which in 1997, was the largest grocery store in the United States. The 2001 opening of the Rockford, IL store marks the first time Woodman's opened a store outside of Wisconsin. Woodman's was originally privately owned by the Woodman family until 1998, when it became a 100 percent employee owned company. In March 2008, Woodman's hit $1 billion in annual sales.
