A longtime family-owned business in Topeka is closing in on a century in operation by putting its loyal customers first. Tilton's Market opened its doors to the Oakland Community in 1935 and began as a street produce stand. Since then, it has operated for 91 years. Over time and multiple generations, the store had expanded to as many as four locations across Topeka. Now, customers can find two locations: Tilton's Westside Thriftway Market, 1100 SW 6th Ave., and Tilton's Market, 1905 NE Seward Ave. Both are run by Jeff Tilton and his son, Daniel Tilton, who is in the process of taking over ownership as his father prepares to retire.
