Otto's Market
Otto’s Market has been a cornerstone of Germantown since 1927, offering locals and visitors a welcoming place to shop, gather, and connect. Originally established as Central Market, the grocery closed briefly in 2007 before Otto Leuschel revived it the following year, transforming it into a hub that seamlessly combined everyday groceries with local farm-fresh produce, specialty foods, and a sense of community. Today, Otto’s remains true to its roots as both a small-town market and a social gathering place, serving deli sandwiches, fresh baked goods, prepared meals, and an evolving selection of local products, all within a space that celebrates its historic character.
In 2017, Otto’s Market entered a new chapter when it was purchased by four friends—Tracy and Dana Martin, Rae Cohen, and restaurateur Noah Bernamoff—who have built upon Leuschel’s foundation while bringing their own expertise in sustainability, hospitality, and design. Under their leadership, the market has undergone significant upgrades, from energy-efficient renovations and a new patio to expanded seating and a composting program that invites community participation. These initiatives reflect Otto’s deep commitment to nourishing Germantown not only with food, but also through environmental stewardship and inclusive community engagement.
More than just a grocery store, Otto’s has become an anchor for Germantown’s revitalization and a living embodiment of its values, supporting local farms, fostering partnerships, and providing a safe space to connect. Whether stopping in for coffee, grabbing a Friday night pizza, or sharing conversation on the patio, neighbors find Otto’s to be a gathering place rooted in nearly a century of tradition and carried forward with care for the future.
