About Us
Tysen’s Family Markets have been serving local communities for 28 years.
Formally established in 1981, the DeMotte store humbly began as a quality, full-service grocery store and was followed by the opening of the Wheatfield store in 1995, the Kouts store in 2005, and a gasoline & convenience store, Tysen’s bp Express, in 2006.
Tysen’s Family Markets together employ approximately 150 talented and dedicated men and women from our local communities, support over 200 vendors, and donate to countless community organizations annually. Each Tysen’s Family Market location strives to continue the tradition of providing high quality products and customer service to the communities that we call home.
In 2007, the associates of Tysen’s Family Markets collectively wrote a big picture Vision Statement for our stores and a Mission Statement that states how we are achieving our vision. We gratefully thank all of our generous customers for making the fulfillment of our vision possible.
