We spent a total of $60 at this store. They did not charge inflated prices, and they even put up with lines at the restrooms. The parking lot was full but always had some openings even up to 1 p.m. when we left. A few of the people in the parking lot didn't even go to the Safeway; those people shoved their doors open and blocked other people from leaving their cars. Others slammed their doors into my mirror and denied doing it. The cashier who sold Safeway products to me told me the weather forecast was for sunny since it is always sunny in Madras; I told her that at least they have cheerful cashiers (although frankly I was then worried the eclipse might have fiascoed out with the weather). This particular safeway even accepted my Safeway Club Card and accepted the phone number to get "club member" prices for my wife.

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.

This market is the main cafe, convenience store and gas station in a small rural town with a population of just over 150 residents. Service was friendly and prompt. Coffee was hot. I stopped in one morning to have breakfast. I ordered their Denver Omelet which is a three egg omelet filled with diced tomatoes, green peppers, onion and chunks of ham for $11.70. I added cheese for an additional 60 cents. It comes with hash browns and your choice of toast. Quite a hearty breakfast and very reasonably priced! I enjoyed the omelet so much that I went back the next day and ordered the same thing. There were 4 or 5 different folks working in the cafe / store when I was there. They seemed to share different roles from waiting, cashier, pumping gas and minding the store. The store itself carries a variety of essentials, frozen meats & seafoods, beverages and snack items, typical for many other convenience stores. Should I visit the area again in the future, I would definitely stop in for breakfast.

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.

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!
