“Our first and last priority is making sure the customer’s happy,” says Daniel Collier, Store Manager of Diablo Foods in Lafayette. “My grandfather, Ed Stokes, started the business 46 years ago. One of the cornerstones of the business has been customer service; it all starts there.”
Collier grew up in the area. Now, working as part of the family business along with his mom, Connie Collier, and uncle, Dan Stokes, he feels proud to be part of the community. “We have a community that supports us as a business and what we stand for. We obviously would not be here without them and we recognize that,” says Collier. “We have a real good relationship with the people that shop with us, and we live here as a family—I grew up here—it makes for a real good fit.”
This level of customer service is what has made Diablo Foods the go-to location it is today. “There are a lot of beautiful markets out there, but there are only so many products you can differentiate yourself with,” Collier explains. “I believe that the reason our customer service is always noted is because we are here working and we interact with our customers on a daily basis. It’s that experience you get when you walk in; we just have an overall good feel and energy of the store due to the people we have here.”

This award for Best Retailer in Solano County for TEAM Superstores is very much earned. Local Happenings Magazine owners have personally bought a few vehicles from this Vallejo based auto dealer and sent more than quite a few friends to find their perfect car or truck deal and have always had and heard of others’ great experiences. Their doors opened in 1994 on Redwood Street in Vallejo and even though they have since moved to their new location on Auto Mall Parkway off of I-80 their personal service and family oriented atmosphere still is very much the call of the day.
Ken Ross, owner of TEAM Superstores, explains their success very simply. “We are family here. We don’t have employees here we have siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles, maybe not authentic but in spirit for sure! We go to football games, races, picnics and parties together. My door is always open for them and when we need to get our goals met we’re all here working together.”
If you need a new or used car or truck, be sure to stop by and meet the friendliest staff and the “Local’s Choice”!

Customer Service. Great produce. The best meat counter in Napa. The best deli. The only place that I will grocery shop in Napa.
All of the above statements are heard when asking about Browns Valley Market. This small family-owned grocery store has long been a favorite of Napans and visitors alike. Their friendly staff greets you as you walk in and you are always amazed at the great produce variety and colors.
Their wine selection is one of the finest in Napa and almost always offers the best in local family wineries. They even offer tasting events which bring out the locals on a regular basis.
The meat counter is a flashback to the local butcher shops that our parents shopped at back in the 50’s and 60’s – knowledgeable, fresh and cut to order.
If you are one of the few that have not made it into Browns Valley Market – it’s time you smelled the roses! Or the Produce! Or the Cheese . . . .
