One of the last places to stock up on groceries before heading into Big Bend National Park! I was…read moreglad we stopped in Marathon because it's got a lot of cool stuff on its "main st" style strip, and while the French Company Grocer isn't fancy, it is surprisingly well-stocked with pretty much anything you could think of wanting to bring with you while you're camping or "glamping" in this beautiful part of Texas! The staff were also super nice and helpful, and we couldn't resist getting some of their homemade cookies that were absolutely delicious. If they have the cherry cookies while you're there, grab one! Heck, grab five and enjoy one while you're strolling down the strip of unique shops, just make sure you finish before you head into the little art gallery and gift shop, which is also a must-see!

Lots of variety! A bit pricey, but for the big Bend area it is a great place to get anything last…read moreminute. You might have forgotten or to grab a quick bite to eat on your way out of the park. Customer service was awesome.!

I think this is the closest grocery store to big bend from any direction (based on the map). It's a…read morerelatively small local place but they do have good stuff! There's a small beer and wine section, a small produce section, and of course they have plenty of pre packaged food and drinks in the back. They had pet food and gardening stuff in the front too. It's nice to have a little place like this in Study Butte for the community; I'd bet if you go a little farther eg into Terlingua there are other spots but this grocery store is like less than 10 mins from the entrance to big bend so it's very convenient if you need to pick something up on the way in or out of the park!

We tried to go in town at Porters, and we did not find any food that a human being should eat…read more Thanks to this shop, we were able to restock our camper with fresh, organic produce and products in general. They even have a bulk section with a lot of spices, so that was nice. It is a little bit pricey but I guess that's the cost to pay to be autonomous in the desert for a few days. Definitely the best stop you can make before Big Bend National Park.

Coming from Houston, this is a tiny little Walmart but it serves the community well. The associates…read morewere somewhat friendly and they had plenty of self check out registers. Some of the aisles are kind cramped because of space. And when I say this Walmart is tiny, you can see the electronics department clearly from the door. It's good for a quick errand run and clearance shopping. If you're staying at the hotels in the area, I recommended stocking up with snacks here as everything in this town seems to be closed and done by 9pm.

I was so happy, it was really cheap and the staff were nice. I got some sandwich components to make panini's, and seasonings for the other food. I was surprised they had so many vegetables at a cheap price. I have a birthday party I am going to soon and was able to get Minecraft decorations for it as well. It really is a one stop shop! The nail polish left my fingers dyed yellow/red so I would not suggest them, but the nail polish remover did the job!
