“Orlando made my shopping trip quick and easy by helping me locate the dinner ingredients I needed. This little market is a 'much-needed' staple for the eastern Pueblo County community. Just wish it stayed open later in the evening for those who work further away”

“I was on the road and had medical issues. I had to leave my truck in their parking lot. They were so good to me, they didn’t even have my truck towed until they had to receive a load of fuel from a tank truck and my truck was parked on top of the fuel inlet! I thank you guys profusely! Because they waited, I saved several days worth of storage fees from the tow company. I would suggest asking if you could spend the evening before you actually park. I couldn’t due to my issues, but I feel blessed to have been treated so well. Thank you for that :-)”
