    This is a replacement for the long-time 12th Avenue Market & Deli. Owners Shaun and Stephanie Johnson are retiring after 18 years of ownership of the 40+ year old business. Fortunately (now, this is complicated), John Moutzouris, who bought Spinelli's Market (Park Hill) from owners Jerry and Mary Ellen Spinelli in 2014, made local chef and sandwich guru, Jake Riederer, and his wife, Cecelia Jones, his partners in Spinelli's. The group then made a deal with the Johnsons to take over their space which reopened December 5, 2023 as the Congress Park Market. Whew! The space is undergoing a massive refurbishment as I write, but the work should be finished shortly. The plan is to maintain the traditions of the 12th Avenue Market, including the contract Post Office counter, with some enhancements. The Post Office is moving to the front of the store and a deli is going into the space in the rear. There will be a full deli department plus fresh produce. Spinelli's has long been noted for their fantastic fresh sandwiches. Five of the most popular will be available here plus five new creations. A wine and beer department is also promised. The 12th Avenue Market was getting a little tired, along with its owners. The space was originally a Piggly Wiggly (a long-defunct supermarket chain) and I'm glad to see it enjoying yet another life as a vibrant neighborhood market. The new owners hope to develop other neighborhood markets like this one around Denver.

    Tired of the greed. Raised price on a can of Pepsi. It's high priced to begin with. Not a big deal but won't be back.

    I enjoy shopping for groceries and life's sustenances at a locally owned store more than anything…read more When I was driving on 38th westbound to get somewhere this AM, this store didn't escape my notice (the exterior decals on the glass window was so visible as I drove past by it.) Since I wasn't in a hurry, I made a quick turn to a side street to park my car and went to investigate. And I LOVED it. This store is in operation since 1984. People who live in this neighborhood must love it; lucky them! I have to admit though; certain things are bit pricey but what's great about this place is the fact that they do generous sales on items throughout the store. For instance, a jar of Dalmatia Quince Spread (pear flavor) was originally $6 with some change but it was on sale at the price of $3.99! I had recently run out of a fig spread so I immediately grabbed this one. There is a cafe where they can make craft coffee beverages. Not only that, there is a pizzeria, sushi section, soap/beauty section, vitamins, alcohol section etc. Although the store is not massive, it's a good size where they pretty much carry most of the daily needs (although I'm not sure about toilet paper/paper towels and stuff like that; I didn't need any of those so I simply didn't look for it.) I saw some people sitting in the cafe studying with their books and computers. There were also families with small children eating their late morning meals. It's simply a great place for any occasion was the observation I gathered. My cashier (Sean) was very pleasant to me. I forgot to bring my reusable grocery bag so he asked me if I needed a bag to which I said yes. He didn't charge me for the bag when I looked around the receipt. Thank you! I hope I'll have reasons or business up in the neighborhood soon so I can make a stop again.

    Stopped by to do groceries. They had a lot of interesting food vendors inside from coffee to pizza…read moreto sushi. As far as their selection of groceries I'd say it leans closer to a Whole Foods but also like a Safeway. Super cool grocery store that I've never seen in my home state of FL!
