When they demolished the old 'Parkville Heights Shopping Center' to build the new 'Parkville Commons', they closed
the old Apple Market store there and we were without a local store for quite a long time... Finally I received a Chopper Shopper card in the mail and was in the Brand New Store the day it opened... Just overwhelmed how great it was and still is... I am in there almost every day and sometimes several times a day... |
| So, then I was talking to my friemd Tom in Germany on IM... and the subject was sausages... I told him we had about every kind you would want at our Price Chopper Market... He said "Show me some pics" so here they are... and a few more than just sausages... with many thanks to Steve Protzman, manager... for permission to take them... |
| An aromatic greeting from the flowers and plants just inside the main entrance... |
| I bought that famous yucca here, that survived the freeze and now is growing wild in my living room... |
| And all that beautiful fruit... |
| Prewashed, packaged cut greens and salads... some organic too here... |
| More fruit, look at those apples... Yes Asia... next time.. apple pie... |
| No bananas today? The Chopper ALWAYS has bananas! And pineapple, I got my pineapple from here and still have the top growing in my living room... |
| Organic? Sure Tom, here is a lot of it... didn't I say so? |
| And veggies... tomatoes and garlic in the background... lettuce, corn on the cob, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers... yeah! |
| Lotsa tomatoes... are those avacodos next to the garlic? Hah! Guacamole? |
| More fresh veggies, they have everything... |
| Lessee... orange bell peppers and new red potatoes on the right there? |
| Some gourmet cheeses and other things here, there are at least three separate cheese displays through the store... |
| One side of the fresh salad bar... |
| Oh, potatoes and onions close at hand there... hmmm, baking potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet, white, red and yellow onions |
| I love this! Sliced deli meats in the deli cases... |
| And every kind of salad you desire, potato salad, pasta salad, bean salad, cole slaw... name it, it's there... |
| And the hot serve lunch line, some great stuff there... |
| And down the line, more imported cheeses and fancy deli meats... |
| A large liquor department... Party supplies of all kinds... |
| I needed a few more pics of this department to do it justice... |
| Some of the commercial bakery breads, several more displays of this but the bagel and buns pics were fuzzy... |
| Yes Tom, they have cakes... |
| And more cakes, custom baked cakes... |
| All kinds of cakes... And pies... and cookies... |
| This is what I like but not a clear enough picture, the homestyle breads, rolls, buns and all... I like the big kaiser rolls for burgers... |
| A look back at the bakery department, some of it anyway... |
| Some of the fresh fish and seafood... Hard to see... Yes, they have fresh as well as frozen seafood... Right off the boat... they send me an email with specials... |
| Next to the seafood and meat cases, several huge freezer cases full of all kinds of frozen meats and goodies... |
| And.. the fresh cut meat cases... A wealth of the bounty of the plains... Give me some of any and all of that! And yes Tom, some of this is organically raised and fed... |
| All kinds of prepared meat and seafood specialties... |
| Here, more of that prime meat, the steaks of many kinds... |
| And more of the ajacent freezer case goodies... |
| And more! some sausage in here too Tom... Bulk, but in packages... and some patties and links too... |
| Here is where I get most of my meat, the prepackaged kind... |
| You just can't beat this selection, especially on those good sale days... |
| And some fresh chicken and turkey in this end of the case... |
| Thanksgiving or not... All year round, turkeys, ducks, rock Cornish game hens, name it, it's probably in here... |
| Aisle after aisle I didn't take a pic of... See one aisle, you've seen twenty... |
| The large processed meat selection... Any and all kinds of luncheon meat... |
| Juice and juice and juice... |
| OK Tom, the sausage... and hot dogs... and sausage... Well they have more in other places too... |
| And all that bacon... and more sausage... And there was more sausage in the prepackaged meat case... |
| And eggs and pie crusts and biscuits... breakfast anyone? |
| Yogurt? Plenty of yogurt... Plain, flavored, with fruit? |
| Butter and margerine... What do you need? |
| Milk, Oh yeah... we got milk... and then some... |
| And pizza? sure do... all the way from here to way off there! |
| Domestic cheese... all this and more... |
| Cheese all the way from here to there... |
| Soda? All kinds and about half a city block of it... |
| Mexican tonight?... Masa tortillas, harina tortillas... and salsa in the ethnic foods aisle... |
| Looking back... and we are barely half way around the outside perimeter of the stocks... |
| Let's see what we can find down this way... |
| Back at the front of the store, the check-outs to the left... |
| Looking back, we were just at the far end in the last pic... |
