History
Bonk's Market was started in 1914 by John and Katherine Bonk. It's beginning was small; but it's purpose was great. Bonk's produced a full line of meat, produce, groceries, and staple items. Anything you needed, even things like kerosene, christmas trees, bulk molasses, and lamp oil, could be purchased at Bonk's. Mr. Bonk's dream was to produce employment for himself and his 5 sons. As Bonk's grew, so did their reputation for high quality, reasonable price, and utmost integrity in dealing with their customers. In the late 1930's and the early 1940's it was known as the super-market of Gardner.
