“We’re not owned by a person,” said Market On Market Manager Matt Nahnsen.
“We have just about everything people need,” said Pam Ruggles, manager of Dayton Community Grocery.
We want to be the place that they come for their groceries because we can help them to stay within their budget.
“We are seeing right now that some of our prices are lower than the bigger stores in Fort Dodge or Ames,” said Dutcher.
The three stores are all community owned and rely on local grocery dollars to sustain them.
“We understand that it’s simpler and easier when you work in Fort Dodge or Ames to just buy your groceries there,” added Dutcher.
“We have Bubba-Q available on weekends,” said Hainzinger.
“We know that people don’t always have the time to cook right now,” said Nahnsen.
“Anytime anyone in the community comes in and spends their money here, I want to make sure they’re getting their best value,” said Nahnsen.
“Every penny counts,” said Ruggles.
