“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a visitor from San Diego, I have to say McKay's Market on S. 7th Street is one of those grocery stores that makes you wish you had one back home. The first thing that grabbed my attention was the produce department. It is an absolute work of art. Everything is beautifully displayed, pristine, organized, and meticulously stacked. Whoever is running that department is absolutely crushing it and clearly takes tremendous pride in their work. It may be one of the most impressive produce sections I've seen in a grocery store. The rest of the store is equally impressive—clean, tidy, well-stocked, and filled with a fantastic selection of products. I also loved seeing McKay's branded merchandise throughout the store. It's a nice touch that reinforces the local community feel. But the real MVP here is the fried chicken in the deli. Wow. That chicken is absolutely out of control—in the best possible way. Crispy, flavorful, and worth a trip all by itself. If you're shopping here and don't grab some fried chicken, you're doing it wrong. I also learned that McKay's is 100% employee-owned, and honestly, it shows. Everyone I encountered was friendly, helpful, and seemed genuinely invested in providing a great customer experience. There's a level of pride throughout the store that you just don't see very often anymore. Make sure to sign up for their rewards program and earn points while you shop. I'm actually a little annoyed that we don't have a McKay's in San Diego because I'd be there all the time. Until then, this will be a mandatory stop every single time I'm in Coos Bay. Highly recommended.”
