‘Cuz it would be fun, right?*

. . .

If I owned a mini mart, it would be the local gem of the community.

The daily hours of 6 AM – 10 PM would be hand painted on the window, in a vibrant shade of Caribbean blue.

The shopping music would be a commercial-free compilation of classic and indie rock.

Our restroom would be a single occupant, family-friendly room, cleaned every hour on the hour.

We’d have all the staples, of course: bread and milk, eggs and cheese, bottled water, firewood, propane, and postage stamps.

But in addition to the toilet paper and bandaids, we’d have a simple assortment of sundries that’d fill your heart with glee.

We wouldn’t overload you with options, but instead pick the best, high-quality products.

So go ahead and grab a wicker basket!

And fill ‘er up with:

All-occasion greeting cards; Paul Mitchell shampoo and conditioner; paperback books of fiction and poetry; whole bean coffees (with complimentary use of the store grinder); yellow legal pads; the classic Burt’s Bees lip balm; s’mores fixings; kettle-cooked chips and dips; sunglasses; playing cards.

And ice. Bags and bags of ice.

And if you’re not in a hurry, sit down at a picnic table after visiting our cafe!

For breakfast and lunch we offer:

Egg & Cheese Sandwiches (on your choice of bagel)

Cold Deli Sandwiches (with fresh LTO)

Cold Veggie Wraps (chock-full of bell pepper, cucumber, tomato, and more!)

Potato Salad (the extra creamy-mayo kind)

Egg Salad (ditto)

Coldbrew Coffee (the real stuff that will make your toes curl)

And for dessert?

Have a dish or waffle cone of chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry ice cream. One, two, or three scoops for you, please?

Our little market is here for you, seven days a week. Stop on in and get yourself a treat.
