Draeger's

In 1903 at the age of 14, Gustave Draeger immigrated to the U.S. from Stettia, Prussia (now part of Poland). In his early years he opened several markets in SF and during WWII a supermarket. After the war, with his sons he expanded with a market in San Mateo. His son Frank opened the Menlo Park supermarket in 1955 [documentation for this date?] while soon thereafter either selling or closing their other markets including in San Mateo. The 3rd generation added supermarkets in Los Altos and in San Mateo. About 1990 [actual date?] the Menlo Park store was expanded and upgraded.
