Moorabbin Market

Moorabbin Market has supplied fresh fruit, vegetables and groceries as a family owned and operated business since 1979, more than four decades of continuous local trading. That produce focus connects directly to the district's own agricultural roots, which stretch back much further than the market itself.

Trading on soil that built Melbourne's market gardens

Brothers John and Richard King became the first European settlers in the Moorabbin area in 1846, and by the 1850s, the district's sandy soil had proven especially well suited to market gardening, an industry that flourished here for decades and helped define the region's identity long before Cheltenham was even formally named in 1852. Moorabbin Market's continued focus on fresh produce sits squarely within that long agricultural lineage.

Reviewers consistently praise the value against major supermarket chains, describing fresher produce at noticeably lower prices than Woolworths, Coles or even Aldi, alongside a genuinely broad grocery range including bulk flour, pasta sauces and specialty tea brands that go well beyond basic fruit and veg.

Good to know before you go

Being closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday means planning a visit around the Wednesday-to-Saturday trading window is essential. Open to the general public without any membership requirement, despite its wholesale-style bulk grocery range, is worth knowing for first-time visitors.
