Community Markets

The name says it all - Community Market.  Not a supermarket but a friendly place where you can get what you need.

I have been using CM for many, many years since my parents would send me to pick up an item or two.  As early teens I would ride my bike with local kids & stop in to get a coke or other cold drink.

No matter what you nerd, they will have it, maybe not in your favorite brand or size, but something that will work. I have always been impressed with the deli section and meats.  A real butcher on site!  At various times you can find some outstanding specials.  The prices on these items are often better than the large chain markets.  The only reason I do not give 5 stars on this rating is the cost of some canned foods and dry goods which tend to be a little higher than the big boys.

I am not a full time resident here but have been a "permanent part-timer" all my life and will use CM as long as they are open.

The prices are more expensive in town, but the location is very convienient :) They always have some kind of special on the butchered meats... Whole cut up fryers are usually 3-4 bucks.  Also a great place to stop by for lunch for some of their amazing hot foods.  But if you need canned goods, processed foods, veggies or condiments; I would go to stater bros or vons.  Those things are just too expensive here.

The second I walked into Community Markets, I was hit by a warm, welcoming aroma of fried chicken. It was actually a bit overwhelming and I forgot what I went into the market to buy and walked straight to the hot foods section instead. They had a huge variety of food: fried chicken, pizza, rotisserie chicken, and jalapeno poppers! Everything smelled so good! Didn't personally try the food, but it seems like a good place to pick up food if you're in a hurry.

Aftter feasting my eyes and realizing i already ate, I remembered what I came into buy and headed straight for..... ALCOHOL! They have a pretty big selection of beers and wines, including a seasonal pumpkin spice Shocktop that intrigued me, but not enough for me to pick up.

I beeline-d over to the hard alcohol section after choosing my beers.... And was taken aback by the prices!  $40 for a medium flask of Hennessy! Buy your hard alcohol elsewhere.

They had a nice variety of household staples and snacks and friendly service. Super cozy market.
