Modica Market is a family-owned and operated gourmet and specialty market that has served the tiny town of Seaside since 1988. Sarah and Charles Modica started in the grocery business more than 50 years ago in Bessemer, Alabama. Then, in 1988, the Modicas moved to Seaside with their son, Charles Modica, Jr. to open Modica Market. Modica Market has been featured on CNN and in hundreds of magazines including Vogue, Travel+Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler. Modica Market was also featured in the hit Jim Carrey film, The Truman Show.
