History

Established in 1980.

In 1974, Shuji Suruki started the first and only door-to-door Japanese grocery store on wheels in the Bay Area, covering areas of San Francisco, Peninsula and as far south as Salinas. His customers were families of Japanese businessmen, Nisei and Sansei (2nd, 3rd generation Japanese) and farmers growing carnations, roses, chrysanthemum and strawberries. In 1980, the Suruki Japanese Foods grocery store opened on Broadway Ave. in Burlingame, CA. The store on wheels continued for another 6 months, during early evening hours, to San Francisco and South San Francisco areas. In 1990, the store moved to its current location as Suruki Supermarket to expand operations. Sadly, in 1998 a fire shut down the business for exactly one year. We are extremely thankful that the fire did not spread and that no one was injured. At this time, we took the opportunity to remodel and add a restaurant on the second level. We are a family-owned business, proudly serving the Bay Area since 1974.
