Do any of you have a mate with a little brother who tales a couple of steps behind, is a little slow but is actually better than him at a few things and it really pisses him off? Well, this is the case with the two fruit and veg shops at Marden Shopping Centre. The smaller of the two is the Marden Fruit Market, and although it doesn't stock the same amount or variety of its big brother down the hall, it does excel in Asian greens and vegetables and often has some really good buys on some really beautiful fruit.
I occasionally feel sorry for the store, as it never seems to get the same level of business as the other (nameless) sibling, but it has been open for quite some time, so I would assume that it has some very loyal regulars and benefits from the added foot traffic of being in the middle of the mall.
It is not the kind of Fruiterer that you would go out of your way to get to, but it is worth scanning the prices as you walk past because you may just get those button mushrooms for $6 a kilo....bargain! read more
