In 1967, Rich Stewart started a partnership with his sister and brother-in-law, Joyce and Don Sheffield (resulting in the two S's in S&S) with a small produce store in Gridley, California. The next year, the business was moved to its current location at 1924 Mangrove Avenue in Chico, California. As Rich moved into other ventures, his parents, Roy & Evelyn Stewart, took over the partnership with Joyce and Don.
The business operated as a "roadside produce stand", with a limited selection of natural food products. Over the years the inventory slowly expanded to include vitamins and supplements. The Butcher Shop operated as a separate business, next door to S&S, as did The Deli in an adjoining section.
In 1974, Rich returned from working at another store and purchased the business from his mother and father. Later that same year, Rich also purchased The Butcher Shop. S&S and The Butcher Shop continued to grow and thrive under the same ownership, but as two separate businesses. S&S started to include a limited supply of natural skin care products and additional health foods. In 1995, Rich also purchased The Deli and continued its long-time tradition of quality lunch meats and sandwiches.
On May 13, 1997, S&S and The Butcher Shop physically became one business where a new, larger, renovated structure was introduced. The new store offered expanded floorspace for each department and the convenience of ordering form The Butcher Shop and Deli and paying for your entire purchase at one set of front registers. The store has continued to grow since then with the addition of the BBQ, Bulk foods and Library.
