It's like it got caught in time and never got the makeover the ones in the southern part of the state did. That being said: we stopped here *several* times over the course of the weekend, and they always had exactly what we were looking for (fresh fruit! kombucha! pain meds! gatorade in fun flavors!). And, actually, I was really impressed with the quantity of not just vegetarian but vegan brands they carry! The parking lot is a little chaotic, and the store is pretty run down and grimey. I just brought my own bag, carried my stuff around in it, then cashed myself out to keep to limited touching of surfaces.

Words of warning: Ole Man (Paul Renaud) can be very abusive to hikers and I experienced it first…read morehand. He accused me just before boarding the shuttle to Baxter State Park of not paying for the shuttle - in front of a group of other south bound hikers who were to be my "trail family" over the next few weeks. It was a shocking, humiliating experience to say the least. I HAD paid; he also had time to discuss this with me privately the previous day. (fwiw, I am a retired engineer with ample income to cover these trivial costs). When I could bring myself to talk about it to other hikers the stories flowed. Abusive behavior toward a deaf hiker who could not hear him, threats to call the police on another hiker whose crime was to show up and find out he did not have enough money to stay at the lodge, and abusive behavior toward his employee, ez rock, a gentle helpful guy. This behavior is not only abusive to the hiker experiencing it but an embarrassment for those having to witness it. One hiker told me to not let him ruin my hike; unfortunately it did for several days. It may be time for Paul, Ole Man, to retire from this work he obviously cannot handle appropriately.

You'll never learn how to become a gourmet chef by buying what these folks have, but you'll be able to feed yourself okay and get a decent buzz at the same time. That means they have a good liquor selection as well as a few beers to wash down your grocery choices. They have a simple deli counter and the most rudimentary produce and meat departments you could ever expect to find. However they do make a delightful selection of homemade pizzas you'd ever expect to find as well. Clean store and well organized. Friendly folks working the joint; they're happy to talk to you whether you're a regular or just passing through. Waiting in line here is even fun, because the one in front of you and in back of you will start talking and won't be put off if you join in. Just as well, since the cashier will be directing the whole thing anyhow...

This stuff is in perfect far more often than not. This store has so much to offer and though you have your mainstays, they often have many new things you would not expect to see and you might possibly not see again. the store is fairly well organized and planned out, each section offering a huge variety of options. The staff at Marden's are (for the most part) fantastic at their jobs and clearly happy working for the company. They are "service with a smile" and very much a "how can I help you" type of team member. Seriously, almost like a mantra here, they all want you to enjoy your experience and come back. I will be back, and back, and back, and back..... someone may need to start a Marden's 12 step program at this rate.

This year July/Aug 2021, they had soft shell which is generally easier to break open and sometime is sweeter. But, it's all about preference.

They have a pretty good produce section all with a good dairy and freezer selection. They have everything else in between. Located in the town of Patten, Ellis's market is a go to for us.

Just tossed it to us and said. Your good. Then gave each of our kids a quarter for the gum-ball machine. So when my bear hunting boys asked me to pick up a flashlight. Where do you think I went? Yep. Back to the place where we got special treatment. The owner helped me this time. He was very patient with me as I really didn't know what to get. I knew my son wanted top of the line. So he gave me a couple of options. With a nice price difference. I purchased an awesome flashlight for my son and my husband. The owner was so helpful and kind. Let's just say his worker who gave us 2 free quarters and a free bottle opener ended up turning into a return visit where we spent over $130.00. I guarantee I will be back again before we leave too. Because my husband blessed our bear guide by giving him his flashlight. lol
