Red Mills Market

As a kid growing up in Mahopac, I remember my parents shopping at Red Mills Market a couple of times a week. They would stop on their way home from work or after one of our practices to pick up a few items. Unfortunately, after I got married and had my own kids I did not keep that tradition alive. I knew the Market had changed owners a few years back, but I had only been in the store a handful of times since then.

This past Sunday, my wife and I needed to grab a couple of things for dinner after my kids' soccer matches. She didn't want to go to Stop and Shop because the shelves are usually picked clean by the end of the weekend. It was around 17:00, and Red Mills Market was on our way home. We weren't sure if it was open that late on a Sunday, but we figured we might as well check it out. We were pleasantly surprised to see that it was open 07:00 to 20:00, seven days a week. The store was clean and all the shelves were fully stocked. My wife said all of the produce looked fresh, and she was surprised by the wide selection of precooked meals, deli meats, and store made salads. Even though the Market has that "Mom and Pop" feel, their prices are inline with the larger chain grocery stores.

Going forward we will definitely be stopping by Red Mills Market to supplement our weekly grocery shopping. My wife likes to buy fresh produce to use within a day or two. The Market is a more convenient option than the big, chain grocery stores are for her to run in and get fresh produce and a couple of random items. The fresh, pre-made meals in the deli section are also a nice option for a quick meal on the nights my kids have practice. It's also nice to support a small, local business that has been a part of the community for decades.

Best neighborhood market ever. I want to thank you all during this difficult time. I appreciate all of you. Always a friendly smile from all. I feel fortunate to have you in my neighborhood.

Thank you for posting limits on essentials and thoughtful signs to respect our neighbors. I even scored Uncle Franks delicious goodies!

Sincerely, thanks so much and God Bless you all.
P.S. They carry Rockland Bakery, best bread ever!!
P.P.S. Huge thanks to all the delivery drivers doing a tough job right now.

Since it changed from a family run business to a chain store it seems so unfriendly. The store is getting so cluttered its hard to maneuver through the aisles. They do have pretty good sales. I only recognize one person still there from the prior ownership. I like to be addressed by name but these owners barely speak.
