Gateway Market

Gateway Market is a specialty grocery in Des Moines with a meat and seafood counter, a wine and beer section, an in-house bakery, flowers, and a grab-and-go cafe. It stocks locally grown produce, artisan bread and pastries, hard-to-find international grocery items, a selection of cheeses, hand-selected wines, and chef-crafted meals. The market was founded by Chef George Formaro, who wanted one place to find his favorite foods.

Shoppers can order catering and buy gift cards, and the store also runs a rewards program. The market sits at 2002 Woodland Avenue in Des Moines, and the team is known for personal service for both professional chefs and home cooks.
