History
Ingles market was started in 1963 when its first location was opened by Robert “Bob” in Ashville, North Carolina. The company continued to expand and grow after its inception. In 1982, the company made a move of buying from Sealtest, a milk packaging and processing plant. Sealtest runs by the name Milkco Inc., a subsidiary that is wholly owned. More than sixty percent of Milkco’s businesses deal with products like tea, bottled water and citrus. In 1987, Ingles changed into a publicly traded company. The supermarket chain started establishing “Ingles Gas Express” gas stations in the 2000s in addition to putting up newer stores. Currently, Robert P. Ingle is the company’s CEO following the demise of Robert Ingle the elder in March 2011.
