Simple. Convenient. Local…read more I was spending a few days in town locally. I had the opportunity to stop in a couple times. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
