During the city wide power outage there were no worries if you were near this store, there was…read moreplenty of power - he was standing behind the cash register. Rude, power hungry little guy would have dimmed the lights if there were any on! We arrived in Winthrop shortly after the power in the entire valley went out due to the fires. Pardners had their generator up and running first so everybody was there getting ice, gas and necessities. Little did we know the grocery store would open or we never would have shopped here. The prices are absolutely outrageous and I know the little power hungry guy at the register was chuckling inside the whole time. He was rude to every customer in the store, wouldn't answer questions, said no a lot and was just generally horrible. Being visitors, we were in a bit of a panic, not quite knowing what to do. We had driven 8 hours to get that far and the thought of turning around didn't sit well with all of our tired bodies so we figured we'd get some food and hunker down for the night. Sandwiches would suit us just fine... hey, no bread... frozen sandwich rolls would be great once they thawed. (Remember, the entire valley is without power for an estimated two weeks at this point.) Power Boy refused to sell us the rolls stating they needed them for the steamed hot dogs. PERFECT! We'll take 8 of those steamed hot dogs then... no can do, generator doesn't operate the steamer... then we'll just take the rolls... no can do, they're mine and you can't have them! I was absolutely appalled at his attitude during the crisis of HIS town. He didn't want to help in the least, just wanted to ring up those sales. We walked out wondering what to do, what to do, what to eat (not what to drink, he sold us plenty of cold beer) only to discover the grocery store had opened! Wish we could have taken all our purchases back to Pardners... We visit Winthrop a couple times a year and have never shopped at Pardners and needless to say, we will never shop there again. Heck, it's a Texaco... may not ever use Texaco again... careful big corporations, these little town hicks wearing your logo and representing your company can give you a bad reputation. Note: I typically don't rant or rate low because of one employee or interaction and this one is no different. Every worker in there (3 men) was rude, disrespectful and "angry" with the customers. Maybe some training on disaster preparedness is in order...

The selection is impressive, offering a handful of flavors that are rich, creamy, and clearly crafted with care. The space is unique and has a fun character.

The portion sizes are generous too!

It's usually on the average 4 to 5 cents (3.62 plus unleaded) more than in Wenatchee. The Food mart is stocked nicely. They have my favorite gatorade here, not like across the street were they only carry it as a fountain drink (yuk), or second choice powerade. The help is always rude for some reason. I really don't know why. I've been here a lot of times, and it's always the same. The guys across the street are waaaay too friendly. :: shrugging shoulders:: I don't get it. But I do always see a "help wanted" sign, and they sure need some help in that department.

The caprese sandwich was pretty good, with a high quality pesto and perfectly standard mozz and arugula, but since all the sandwiches are prepackaged they're noticeably worse for wear.

Sorry Gaucho, Luger, Morton's, Met, A&J, Whole Foods or anyone else for that matter. Simply the finest marbling and flavor and to top it off, for an unbelievable price. Simply grilled over charcoal with some light salt and pepper at the campsite yielded pure, fatty flavor. Did not look aged. The market itself is decent and has a good selection of most everything, too. Trying to figure out who is the purveyor and get these to Seattle.
