Huck's Market, formerly known as Huck's Now and more recently Huck's Food & Fuel, is a chain of convenience stores headquartered in Carmi, Illinois, operating as a subsidiary of Martin & Bayley, Inc. As of September 2025, there are over 134 Huck's stores located across Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee.[1]

Martin & Bayley was founded in 1960, beginning its existence when Bob Martin and Frank Bayley formed a partnership and opened the Big John's Supermarket chain in Southern Illinois.[1] In 1974, Martin & Bayley opened the first Huck's location in Grayville, Illinois. Huck's has been an employee-owned corporation since 2001, employing over 1200 people, primarily in rural areas.[2]

Huck's launched its new loyalty program, Huck's Bucks Bigg Rewards, in June 2020 during the COVID epidemic with great success.
