“Friendliest people ever! They were so warm and welcoming. They have a restroom instead of a Porta John, and not only is it clean, it's got a touch of humor! Lol got what I needed and more! Thank you for being amazing, even though you're a small store. I'll definitely will be stopping here again!”
“Island View Market is a hidden gem by the water you don’t want to miss. I absolutely love Island View Market—it’s the perfect neighborhood shop for all your last-minute needs. Just around the corner from Deadman’s Island (Cutts Island State Park), it’s incredibly convenient whether you’re on land or arriving by boat. One of the best perks? They have non-ethanol gas for your boat, which is a rare and welcome find The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel personal. If you’re ever missing something, chances are they have it—from snacks to essentials. Their selection of beer and wine is impressive and if your kids are along for the ride, it’s the perfect stop for an ice cream or sweet treat. The views from the market are just beautiful, adding to the whole experience. It’s always a joy to hop off the boat and do a little shopping. They also carry fun and nostalgic Gig Harbor souvenirs, perfect for gifts or keepsakes. Best of all, they’re open on Sundays—a huge plus in the area. Island View Market is a true local treasure, and I’m always happy to support them.”
“Finally a salsa that has the right amount of heat and all the flavor. Firehot Thick Salsa was great! Found it in Westport, lucky for me, I found they are closer than Westport. See you soon!”
“Great local market. Good deli selection to choose from pork chicken or beef cuts, Mike and Vanessa are and the other gentleman who's name eludes me at the moment are rockstars always welcoming my K9 dumplings into the shop. I can't speak to their alcohol selection but the non alcoholic beverages are stocked and cold and I've never had issues with produce and it's just a welcoming environment”
“Love this little place. The Only place around when you need a cold drink. Or are camping and need some essentials. They even sell gas. Probably the last place to turn on your pump with a quick wave and a smile instead of making you prepay.”
“Way over priced store but being that it's the only place to shop in miles it has to do .... The staff is amazing and always in a good attitude. I'd go their all the time if I didn't have to go off the island .”
“The staff was really nice and service was great, they had just what I needed for a pickup that was overheating. I did see a couple men that probably don't like me because they suffer from anxiety issues over laughing and hurt me when I was a kid, Dolan & brayburnson. They probably talk bad about me, Cody, but I've done nothing to anyone in this whole state, or anywhere else. Let it go people! Be polite to everyone. You never know when it may help someone having a bad day, YOU could be a cheeror rather than a irksome individual. It ain't my fault, or anyone else's. Being nice is what the adversary hates the most, and glaring a stare isn't helpful neither...,”
“I love this gas station!! The owners before always kept the place so clean & nice. I will forever miss his wife who would straight make my day every time I encountered her. I hope they retired & are enjoying life together! I thought it would be hard for someone to live up to them but the new owners have done a superb job at revamping the whole place. Inside & Out. It's really clean & organized with tons of choices, hot food etc.. Everyone greets you with a smile & acts like they are grateful for the business. They go above & beyond to make sure their customers are happy & able to find what they need. The beer & wine selection is huge. Very convenient being there's only like 6 total gas stations out here. If I were out of town I would most definitely stop here before heading deeper into the Key Peninsula.”
“I came here after the remodel and Daryl was absolutely amazing. He helped me even though I was having a super bad day due to LOWES having crappy customer service. Daryl restored my faith in somebody who totally understands what it's like to be a first time home owner and find yourself in positions where you are fixing the house and really just need some small help. Daryl was that guy. It was a small faucet repair and he seriously was able to help and direct me in the right direction. I will be 100% coming back for more products while I upgrade my house. So happy with the service that I received. Thank you Lake Kathryn ACE HARDWARE!!”
“I was stopping in here to grab something to drink on my way home but my job ended ....I bought a one dollar scratcher and won $40 so I believe it must be a lucky place....”
“We stopped for sandwiches at Zoggs and was pleased to meet friendly faces, atmosphere and French Dip Sandwiches ! A quiet place with a lovely garden space. We will be back - a pleasant ride over the bridge!!”
“Prices are a little high compared to places across the bridge, atm inside charges 3 or 4 dollars to withdraw but overall pretty decent gas station in a convenient spot”
“Little overpriced but it is a cute small town or island corner market where all the employees know the customers. However doesn't accept EBT unfortunately but it does have a small area of arcade games to play on. It also has live music some days and a cute lounge area for customers to relax a little while after a hard days sork. Cute and unique for a small corner store. Close family owned feeling which is warming to all the residents on the island. Next grocery store isn't closer than Tacoma or Gig Harbor so it's a perfect place for last minute items needed down at the cabin on the lake.”
“I've liked Bridgeway market since I moved to Gig Harbor in 2021. Not just because it is so close to home but because of the people who work there. Nick and the others are genuinely nice, helpful, and personable. The market recently sold and new owners have done a great job of un-cluttering.”
“Great place for emergency Fuel!! Nice long distance view of the Purdy Bridge ? Gas, Diesel, Propane and auto vacuums available... Wait, What? No Beer!?!? ? ? ?”
The Cincinnati-based supermarket giant will open about 110 new stores in fast-growing markets by 2029 and introduce three updated store formats, executives told investors Oct. 20 at the company’s Investor Update in New York. Kroger already runs about 2,700 stores in 35 states. The formats come in three sizes, a bit like small, medium and large, matched to each market. Mary Ellen Adcock, Kroger’s executive vice president and chief merchant and marketing officer, walked through the lineup.

Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country. The grocer also took first place in the American Customer Satisfaction Index's 2026 supermarket rankings. It has held a spot near the top of that list for years.
Target is rolling out its most ambitious store overhaul in more than ten years, with plans to remodel over 130 locations and open 30 new stores across the country this year. The retailer is also putting money into supply chain technology upgrades to keep pace with how shoppers buy today.
