Tresierras Market was originally opened by our father, the late Frank Tresierras, in the San Fernando Valley in 1944. Dad was a native of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. He opened the first Tresierras market on Kalisher Street during World War II. The store opened with only five employees. Times were extremely tough, but the business grew through dad and the employees hard work. They were all dedicated to customer service and product quality.

In 1947, dad relocated the store to its present location in pacoima. That store is now known among employees as “Store No. 1”. To this day, it operates as a fully functioning grocery market serving the surrounding area with a fresh bakery located on the same site.

Dad had three sons -- Dan, Richard and James -- we all began working in the store as teenagers. We learned a great deal from our father about the care and dedication necessary to operate a professional retail establishment while maintaining a feel for the needs of the community. After dad passed away, the three of us worked together and directed the growth of the company to its current state -- four stores and a bakery.

“Store No. 1” was the only Tresierras Market for over 25 years. In 1974, we opened our second market “Store No. 2”, in Pacoima. In 1979, “Store No. 3” began operations in Sun Valley and “Store No. 4” began serving the community of Newhall in 1983. Each Tresierras Market is well known for its long history of exemplary customer service, exceptional produce departments and outstanding full service meat departments. it is not uncommon for over 20 meat-cutters to be on duty on weekends at the four markets.

In December 1981, we formed TBC and today operate the company as that corporation. in 1985, we opened our Corporate Headquarters in Sylmar, to handle management, administration, accounting, transportation and personnel. in 1994, we moved our Corporate Headquarters to its current location in San Fernando.
