The Eugene Weekly (a free local paper) had this to say about the market where I work. The article was listed in one of their, "Best of Eugene" issues




Best guilt-free quick mart

With its yin-yang collision of unrepentant 7-11 crap and dogmatic health foody-ism, the New Frontier Market on 8th and Van Buren brilliantly caters to the very worst and very best in our collective nature, as conspicuous and conscientious consumers, respectively. Where else can you grab, all in one five-minute stroll, a pack of cigarettes, a four-dollar bottle of wine and a frozen Frisbee of Totina’s pizza, along with some organically grown local produce, an aromatic stick of Nag Champa and a bottle of enhanced acidophilus milk? Dr. Bronner’s and Dr. Pepper, Karl Marx and Adam Smith, all frolicking within arm’s reach: It’s the American Dream made manifest, an earthly realm of guilt-free bargain hunting where flax seed oil and Necco wafers live in perfect symbiosis and happy harmony. New Frontier Market, 1101 W. 8th Ave.; 345-7401.




We had this posted in a little corner of our store and I saw it for the first time last night while working. I thought it was a fairly accurate description, although I had to come home and do some google searches on about half of the things their talking about.


Not that this is valuable information to anyone....

  1. What it is ~ is a view into your life in the here and now. . . It's also a taste of the sophistication of the area - this is no Southern shuck and jib - but we need both; the NW and the SE. What a great learning time - bring on the learning curve! Gammy
