This is the way you treat a customer of over 10 years? I was doing business with you long b3fore the orental lady ran the place. I can get hot food in 2 places in the neighborhood. Remember when YOU had hot food? I dine and do business all around the neighborhood and blog my experiences around north Portland and the world. I would like like your thoughts before I blog in and out Once again. I blogged you several times before wHEN fpr the overt stock goodies. I'm not anxious to do anything but promote local business. Warm beer. Empty shelfs and indifferent employees. That male dude is cool. I will refrain for publick blogging untill you can respond.

I put $25 down, pumped the gas I needed, which added up to only $12.40, so I went back inside to get the receipt for $12.40. I thought all was well until I saw my CC statement: they had charged me $25! Now I have to contest it with my CC company (I live at a distance), what a bother!

Situated near a #4 bus stop by the New Columbia neighborhood, the market offers fresh veggies at good prices, bulk foods (including several Bob's Red Mill items), general pantry items, and some houshold needs. It also has a deli, but I haven't tried that yet. Village Market is operated by Village Gardens, so you know that whenever you spend money at the market it is going right back to the community to help create a better food environment for everyone. Check it out!

During the months this winter that we operated an emergency homeless shelter out of the Charles…read moreJordan Community Center down the street, I would go several times a week to the Village Market. I'd get the "fancy creamers" on Fridays for our participants' never ending appetite for coffee, snacks for myself and my coworkers, and fresh veggies and fruits to enhance the food we had at the shelter. What started as a trip of convenience became one of my favorite parts about coming to work. In its layout the Village Market has the prettiness of a Whole Foods and the spatial logic of a Manhattan Bodega (minus the Bodega cat). But the fresh and culturally correct offerings on its clean, smartly presented shelves are priced way below anything in NYC or Whole Paycheck. It's a freaking gem of a store. The staff (all of whose names and pronouns are listed below shining, colorful photos of their faces on a wall near the dairy section) display the ideal trifecta for corner market employees: genuine friendliness, helpful knowledgeability, and a pride in their establishment that brooks no bull. Shout out to Mo in particular, who read me cold for being a white boy wearing indigenous Arabic pants and having an Arabic tattoo, but then also taught me a new word and let me practice some of my language skills which had been slacking. Village Market is quality products that I loved bringing to our participants at the shelter, and quality people who care about their work and their community. Since we left the Charles Jordan Center, one of the parts I've missed the most is this place. It seems to me the neighborhood feels richer and lovelier for it, without feeling more expensive or elitist. That's a win.

He clearly saw me on the other side asking politely to enter and saying that I only needed 1 item.* Instead of at least acknowledging me, the man pretended as if I wasn't there and also ignored my call when I attempted to make contact via phone. The only moment that I got some form of recognition came when he came out to lock the doors and told me " I already turned on the security alarms." No "sorry" or "oops, I didn't see you there!" I will definitely not be returning to this convenience store and advise anyone who respects themselves to follow suit!

The former lot w/Sid Dorn Chevrolet, for example...). Then this place was called, I think, "The onion patch" for a good chunk of the mid-90s and early early 2000s, and sold local, organic produce and what-not. The mini market as-is has been in place for about 8 or 9 years, according to the fellow working the counter. This place has a cozy and admittedly slightly sketchy feel to it, nestled as it is w/heaps of dilapidated row-housing (and they are truly heaps, I say unto you!) in the immediate back drop. It has none of the advantages of the 7-11 just half a block away: it is not 24/7, there's no slurpee machine or hot n' ready junk food at the counter, no deep fried verboten sehr guten fooden. Not even a pay phone or an ATM to speak of! But they do offer competitive prices on ice cold beer---- 18 packs of PBR for just a tad over of ten smackers, So there! And "Lombard Fortune Mini Market" is a simply lovely moniker; who could dispute it??? Very scarcely do I play powerball, but if I or any other local ever wins a BIG ONE, it's only right that the winnin' ticket should've been purchased here at the Lombard Fortune, baby. Mini-market!
