And it has been a joy to watch. -They are refurbishing the outside last, so don't let the old sign and tattered exterior fool you. Inside, magic is happening! -Where to start? They have an excellent salad bar. Wonderful fresh sushi. An amazing variety of wines. The town's wonderful florist shop is now moved into the building. They have dry cleaning drop off and pickup. A deli with hot food and everything a good deli needs. -Betty Ann Market just meets every qualification for a major modern supermarket, and it is here in our little town! -I try to do all my shopping there because: it is a wonderful store with everything you need at great prices, they are truly GOOD people with smiling small town spirits, and I want to support my local community. -Instead of driving half an hour away (and then back again) we have a major modern supermarket right here, just a few minutes away! (How much is an hour total travel time AND gas worth in this day and age?). So, THAT is something that we should support! -One final note: I'm a disabled veteran and I shop with my service dog, and the kindness everyone always shows to me has absolutely won my loyalty! -My service dog, Charley, sez: "Betty Ann Market! Check it out! You'll be glad you did! Woof!" (Yep. He's pretty smart!)

From the street/parking lot, it looks a bit sketchy. Go ahead and park, then head inside. You'll find Friendly staff & a decent selection for a small town. The produce was in good condition and hit the spot. Prices were higher than our usual store but it definitely beat going out of town to shop.

Great little store for the health conscious featuring lots of organic choices and important…read moresupplements. I found that they carry two of my favorites - Alden's Organic Ice Cream and Prima Ancestral Protein Bars. In case you don't know, Alden's Organic is an Oregon-based brand specializing in certified organic ice cream and frozen desserts. it emphasizes high-quality, organic ingredients while avoiding artificial additives, high-fructose corn syrup, and other common conventional ice cream components. Their products use milk and cream from humanely raised cows, and many are gluten-free or offer dairy-free options. Prima Ancestral Protein Bars are animal-based protein bars designed around "ancestral" or nose-to-tail, real-food nutrition principles. They focus on grass-fed ingredients, avoiding seed oils, artificial additives, refined sugars, and ultra-processed isolates common in many protein bars. Popular options include: Cookie Dough, Salted Caramel (my favorite), Cacao, Mocha, and Mint Chip. This is (IMHO) the best protein bar one can buy. So now that I've totally convinced you on purchasing these two great (and good for your body) products, I'll continue with my review. Along with these two great finds, I purchased some Organic Brazil Nuts, Organic Sourdough Bread, and a couple of Zum Bar goats milk soap (frankincense and myrrh, tyvm). If you've never tried a Zum Bar you really should. Friendly employees and a comfortable family atmosphere store made for a very pleasant and enjoyable shopping experience. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Columbia Market is just...groceries, including fresh produce, packaged items, meat, and dairy. There's no coffee bar, in-store bakery, or deli sandwich counter. It's inventory is much smaller than the local supermarket chains and prices are higher. So, it may not be the place where you do your weekly family purchasing, but for Main Street area residents and shopkeepers it is convenient and well stocked.

The only bad incident that we had was when we bought a large container of pepperoncinis a week ago that were on the shelf next to the freezers with a little dust on it, their color all looked a little off but "wasnt expired" so we bought one. We had it immediately opened when we got home. Upon tasting one, they tasted way to soft (like they were going soggy, but wasnt) and the flavor was off. My husband happened to notice and pointed out that there was indeed "mold" under the paper seal which wasnt tampered. I would get the others on the shelf tossed for future reference so another health safety concern happens again. Besides that incident, Tru Buy is a great family friendly place to shop at.

The potato salad was excellent though, that I'll agree with. Perhaps it was dining near the end of the shift, or dining while they were so heavily short-staffed (they had a sign up), or a combination of both, but, both orders were lackluster. Service was friendly and excellent, but not the sandwiches. I'll try to stop by in the morning if I'm in the area, and see if that makes a difference.
