Straub's Markets (or Straub's Fine Grocers) is a specialty food retailer headquartered in downtown Clayton, Missouri founded in 1901 by William A. Straub. From selling ice cream at the 1904 World’s Fair to expanding from Webster Groves to Clayton in 1933, the Central West End in 1948, and Town and Country in 1966, Straub’s currently has four locations throughout the Greater St. Louis Area.
