OHIO VALLEY Bob and Corena Barnitz started Bob’s Market in 1970 with a small produce stand in Pomeroy, Ohio. By 1976 their business had grown and the couple made the decision to devote all their efforts to what has become Bob’s Market and Greenhouses.
Bob’s Market stocks a variety of plants, fresh seasonal produce, and local honey and jams at their area locations in Mason, West Virginia, Gallipolis, Ohio and Belpre, Ohio. Bob’s Market even has locations in Atlanta, Georgia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
