Mollie Stone's Market – Castro is a full-service, family-owned specialty grocery store located at 4201 18th Street in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood. It's part of a small Bay Area chain, operated by Albeco, Inc., which runs nine supermarkets in the San Francisco Bay Area, established in 1986 by Mike Stone and Dave Bennett, with the chain named after Michael Stone's mother Mollie, whose enthusiasm for making people feel good became the store's mission. This particular location has been open in the Castro neighborhood since 2009, in a building that was formerly operated as Delano's Market, and it underwent a Grand Reopening celebration on January 17, 2025, after months of extensive renovations. The store offers full-service departments, catering, and grocery delivery, plus a unique perk: customers who purchase $25 in groceries can get driven home for free within a 1-mile radius via the "Mollie Bus" (though as of a recent update, note that Yelp reported both Mollie Buses at the Castro and Pacific Heights locations are non-operational at this time, so it's worth confirming current status before relying on it). Shoppers describe it as having great produce and veggies, cheese, fresh baguettes, deli/fresh goods, decent sushi, and a nice wine/champagne selection, along with a fantastic selection of beer and liquor for a grocery store and made-to-order sandwiches. Overall, it's well-regarded as a convenient neighborhood grocer, ranked among the top supermarkets in San Francisco, though a few reviewers have noted the attached parking garage can be poorly maintained.
