Who We Are

Mike’s Market first got its beginnings in 1975 when Lew and Dan Moldenhauer were looking to open a grocery store in Soda Springs, Idaho. The opportunity arose and they opened Lew and Dan’s.

The small store became greatly beloved by the community and led to their expansion in the Bear Lake area. The best move for them at the time was to buy the biggest building they could find and convert the building into a grocery store. In the year 2000 they purchased the little KOA in Bear Lake and converted what was the front desk area into a grocery store. They affectionately named the little store Lakeview Market.

Not long after the decision was made to sell the Soda Springs location. Since then, the company expanded to a location in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. With this expansion they decided to rebrand both the Bear Lake location and the Lava Hot springs location. The name Mike’s Market was chosen and is named after one of Dan’s sons and has become a recognizable brand in both communities. Now Mike’s Market has expanded again with a new and beautiful location in Bear Lake. We are pleased to continue serving you as you come to see us in some of your favorite vacation get away locations.
