Rita’s was established in 1962 and is rich in West Side Market history. Carrying on the tradition established by the original “Pickle Lady” Rita, their staff hand-stuffs all of their olives and peppers and freshly prepares all salads. They carry over 150 different products, including pickles, mustards, spreads, fresh ground peanut butter, fresh-made sauerkraut, olives, peppers, salads, and all manner of fermented goodies that work as condiments and sides.

Their motto is: “If we can fit it in the hole, we stuff it! If it’s covered in oil or pickled, we sell it!”
