Our Story

The original Olive Lucy shop opened to the public in November 2013, giving food lovers in the region a place to explore the exotic tastes of Ultra-Premium 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oils and Aged Dark and White Balsamic Vinegars.  In 2017, new owner, Rishona Myers, opened our second location in the charming heart of Jenkintown, PA.  A true corner shop, our door opens up onto the corner of Leedom Street and Greenwood Avenue, facing the Town Square.  Her goal, to offer the freshest and most authentic products, while providing excellent customer service.  In January of 2020, we made the difficult decision to close the shop in Huntingdon Valley and on February 15th we transfered the staff and customers over to the Jenkintown location. Since March of 2020, we have continued to serve our customers from the Jenkintown shop, through in-store and online ordering.  During the pandemic shut-down, we continued serving our customers through online ordering with local delivery, curbside pickup and shipping.  These services continue today, even though the Jenkintown store has resumed normal business hours. 

At Olive Lucy, we take pride in bringing our customers fresh, quality products that are not easy to find.  Rishona and her staff believe, that great meals start with great ingredients.  As such, our mission is to provide everyone from the food-novices to the food-lovers a place to explore the exotic tastes of 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oils and Aged Dark and White Balsamic Vinegars, as well as offer a supporting culinary pantry of products. We have spent the past three years developing and currating a gourmet pantry of products for our Olive Lucy Gourmet Pantry line.  In the Olive Lucy Gourmet Pantry line you will find, spices, seasonings, salts, jams and jellies.

We also believe in supporting local small businesses, just like our shop.  Through our Farmers' Markets and local festival days, we have developed great relationships with several local business.  We now partner with them and they supply us with our raw honey, granola, baked goods and bread.  It's a win-win for all of us.  

2020 has given us the ability to write the next chapter in the Olive Lucy story.  We hope you will join us as we do so and remember to add a little flavor to life!
