MORTON’S GOURMET MARKET

FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS, Morton’s Gourmet Market has been Sarasota’s go-to place for all things related to fine foods and wine. A family-owned business led by father and son Eddie and Todd Morton; the store has a reputation for offering an exceptional customer experience. Their Osprey Avenue location is the center of the operation, with its full-scale deli and gourmet-to-go specialties, extensive selection of prime meats, seafood and a wonderful bakery with coffee bar. Morton’s has everything one might need for entertaining or hosting any size event or gathering including an impressive array of fine wines, craft beers, exotic cheeses, and beautiful floral arrangements. Locals and visitors alike turn to Morton’s during the holidays and special occasions for hand selected unique gift baskets, the convenience of their complete dinner menus and fully prepared foods for take-out. Morton’s is also known for their award-winning catering department, which handles events of all sizes with a full menu of party favorites and custom planning services for any size gathering. In response to customer needs this year Morton’s installed a full-service curb side pick-up and delivery component. Morton’s second location on Siesta Key, Siesta Market is a smaller version of their original concept, with an island twist, and offers a variety of staple groceries, fresh produce, meat and dairy. They stock a wide selection of beer and wine, as well as to-go prepared foods for easy picnics. Next door Siesta Village, the Village’s only full-service liquor store offers top shelf and name brand liquors, beer, wines, cigars and bar accessories for delivery on the key. As family members continuing to join the team, The Morton family will always be an integral part of the Sarasota community. One of the many ways they give back to the community is the family established and maintained Morton Culinary Education Fund which through customer purchases awards scholarships to Sarasota County students interested in pursuing a culinary career.
