I just finished reading all the reviews and while most of them were positive and well deserved, a…read morecouple of things stood out that I think deserve some comment. Before I get to them I want to jump on the bandwagon and say Rob and Jannette (the owners) are some of my favorite people now. I park my car in the garage across the street from them and feel a gravitational pull to the market every time I park. I sometimes go in there with no need and no idea why I'm going in and walk out with something special. Now to the complaints (which were few but shouldn't go unchallenged). First, some complained that the prices are high. That's true, as well as inevitable at such a small scale. I know the owners aren't becoming rich via this venture. If you're the type of person that only considers prices when forming a value statement, you might be better off going to BJ's. For me, value is a complex calculation that doesn't actually result in something that you can put a dollar sign in front of. I live in the neighborhood so convenience is a factor. The selection, in particular the beer and wine choices, is something that I literally can't find at any other grocery store nearby, thanks to the invisible Puritans in my state that voted down a referendum to allow grocery stores to sell beer and wine. Much of what's available is sourced locally. More important than those, and something that I saw in many reviews, is the wonderful relationship I have with the owners. I can't even walk past the place without a friendly wave from them. They know their products and are happy to answer questions about them. And they know me. They know I try to only eat vegan foods, their amazing Muffaletta sandwich being a notable exception. They know I'm allergic to chocolate. As a regular customer, I get special treatment from them. Try THAT at Market Basket! Just this morning, I ran out of turmeric and ran to the market. They didn't have it on the shelf, but they had it in the kitchen. Rob got me what I needed and refused to take my money. What's something like that worth to you? I also saw some people complain that the produce can be on the edge of spoilage. I can't deny that there have been times when I purchased things only to have them inedible the next day. I understand that this is just normal for a small, owner-operated grocery store with moderate turnover and minimal staff. But instead of writing them off, I alert them when I think something in the display fridge should be removed. Also, I don't stock my refrigerator from MSM. I buy what I need when I'm going to use it and inspect it before putting it my shopping basket. In other words, I don't attempt to treat them like a tiny Hannaford. I treat them like an amazing pantry, which is easy for me since they're in the neighborhood. Before the MSM opened the city conducted a survey among downtown residents that attempted to figure out what types of businesses people would most like to have appear in the neighborhood. A small grocer was at the top of most resident's preferences. I'd like to remind people that now that we have one, we'd better use it... or we'll lose it. I'd also add that whatever problems may exist at MSM, they'll only get better if we reach out to them the way they've reached out to us.

Market Street Market is the only locally-owned grocery store as of the time of writing this. The…read moreowner of the store also owns the building, and he is as friendly and helpful as anyone could ask for. The market carries a nice assortment of fruits and veggies (mostly local), deli meat & cheese, pastas, sauces, breads, coffees, etc. They have a great MA-roasted coffee that is excellent, and you can even get fresh-squeezed OJ by the glass - there's a fancy contraption that allows you to watch the process - or you can get watermelon by the slice. Perfect for those hot summer evenings. There are some muffins and pastries if you need a quick snack, frozen foods, and a decent selection of laundry soaps (like method) and other household necessities. In short, pretty much anything (basic) you'd need to run your home, especially if you already eat out several nights a week. They're open 8am - 8pm. Also, since it's a smaller store, I'm assuming that the owners will stock anything you ask for if there is a growing demand for it. They seem pretty flexible and are definitely open to opinions and feedback on how to make store as good as they possibly can. So why didn't I give it 5 stars? Well, it is pretty small, so there's no way they can stock EVERYthing that I need, which means I'll still probably have to go to a larger store for some things. That and the prices have to be a little higher because they get such small quantities. Otherwise, I'm a fan. I'll try to get at least a few items there every week just to keep them in business, because it's something that was sorely missing from the downtown Lowell area. Stop by and check them out! Tell 'em Jen + Tommy sent you :)

They also have other CMan Roadside locations throughout NH including the I-93 Hooksett Rest Areas (Northbound & Southbound), Epsom, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and 2 in Manchester. This convenience store has the atmosphere of a cozy country store with that New Hampshire flavor. This store features a full service takeout restaurant counter serving breakfast fare, pizzas, subs, burgers, sandwiches, fried foods, soups, salads, mac & cheese, bakery goods, and a variety of coffee/espresso drinks & smoothies, plus grab & go sandwiches, wraps, salads, pizza slices, self-serve coffee & fountain drinks and other chilled items. Besides prepared foods, this store offers snacks, candy, ice cream bars, chilled drinks, wine and a beer cave, Red Bull, bagged ice (outside in front), stickers, sunglasses, tobacco products, NH gifts, and NH lottery tickets. There is a seating area inside the store. There are 12 self-serve fueling pumps (Irving) outside of the store offering pay at the pump for convenience. I've stopped in at the Derry location several times for takeout food. On my initial visit during grand opening week, I stopped for breakfast takeout and ordered the Steak Omelette with Home Fries & Buttered English Muffin was very good and the breakfast service was spot on and prompt. On another visit back on grand opening week, the evening staff was having issues, making my food incorrectly including cole slaw missing from my pulled pork sandwich and grilled chicken completely missing from my chicken broccoli alfredo. The staff probably was not fully trained at that time. Those items were corrected when I brought them back to the food counter. On another visit, I got 2 Pizza Slices for $6.50 plus tax from the hot glass case, pepperoni slice and chicken broccoli alfredo slice, fresh slices were pretty good with a good soft dough crust, but cut at obscure angles. It's great having a Common Man convenience store even closer to my home where I can grab quick bites to eat at fair prices.
