I recently stayed at a cute little Airbnb called Mom's Place in John Day and I had to go and get…read moresome food for the stay there. So I ventured to Chester's market, not expecting too much. But was greatly surprised when I walked into the store. It would give the Safeway and Fred Meyer in my hometown in Florence Oregon a run for their money. First of all the service with a cashiers, and the stockers is exquisite you ask them a question and you get a sensible, friendly helpful answer that must reflect on management. THEN the range or selection of products and the amount of organic products that included is exciting and encouraging. I got my products but then did a tour of the store and was just overly impressed. Everything you need for daily life. Do yourself a favor even if you don't need anything go visit Chester Chester's market you'll be pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend shopping there or just visiting to buy snacks or things to nibble on.

Groceries, drinks, hardware, medical, toiletries, pet, office, ranching, hunting, fishing, camping, yard, garden, clothing, plumbing, lumber, feed ... oh heck ... I can't name all the things in this great little store! Everything except a pharmacy. It's even great fun to just walk around downstairs and upstairs perusing. Before you know it you've been perusing for a long time! The young family that owns it are wonderful and all the employees are so courteous and helpful. Prices are very affordable and the amount of inventory is remarkable for such a tiny town. I think if you need it, they have it.

I got everything for a nice BBQ chicken dinner with corn on the cob (plus some candy and other treats) for $40. The manager was very nice and came over to let me know he was there if I needed anything. I was originally going to buy ribs; however, they were frozen, and I needed something quickly defrosted to throw into a crock pot. The ribs did look very tasty, though. The meat selection overall is pretty good. There are even some asian food items in here. They had refrigerated yakisoba noodles and some asian sauces that are sometimes hard to find, especially in small towns. Next time I'm there, I will get ingredients for stir fry! Only knock is that they aren't open very late, but then again, nothing is really open after 7 pm except the Round Up Grill!

Go up the street to the hill behind the high school football field and dig for fossils and stop by the general Mercantile and show them some love. The people are nice and the service excellent. Incidentally, we were able to get a cup of fresh brew coffee for $.50, yes you heard that a cup of coffee for $.50.

During the short time I was in the store, buying ice cream and wine, I saw many other shoppers; both locals and passer-throughers, like us. One of the locals I saw was the town constable. He was at the register in front of me buying doughnuts. When I pointed out to him he was falling into a stereotype, he smiled a guilty smile and told me, "I know. I had hoped they would have been in the bag before anyone noticed." If I lived in or around Fossil, I wouldn't mind doing all my shopping at Fossil General Mercantile. That's a good thing: because otherwise, I'd have to travel many many miles to find something bigger or better.

We have called the owner and he said absolutely to NOT give out you pin number. The employees must either bring out a handheld device for me to pay or let me in to pay with out the mask long enough to pay. Knowing I would not have anyone home this weekend I had 1 of the boys go down and get me the food I need for the weekend. Well I realized today he got the wrong stuff. I had to take it down and exchange it for the right food. A employee came out I gave him the bag of food with the receipt. It turns out the right food cost $2 more. I was told I would not be allowed to go in a pay and they had no handheld device for me to pay on. I was tuned away with out any food at all. So until my children come home after the weekend I will have nothing I can eat. Thank you Heppner Family Foods. Your employees and customers come and go and few are even wearing a mask correctly, their dirty hands are all over everything yet a disabled person can't go in for 30 seconds to pay for their food. I will be calling the owner again on Monday to inform him his employees are still demanding my pin number and will not sell me grocery.
