Sunnyside Market — Attraction in Roanoke

This is a dying breed... But not dead! This is an actual mom&pop grocery store in the heart of Old Southwest in Roanoke. It's not a convenience store, it's a real grocery.

Yes, you can get cigs and candy bars, but also bread, milk, frozen food, canned food, fresh veggies, paper products, dog and cat food, (and treats) much of it local. And, their deli serves up Boar's Head brand meats and cheeses as well as hot dogs and bbq and other lunch items. See Vivian, she's in charge of that! She makes a mean chili dog!

Parking is on street, but I've never had a problem being within 100' of the store. Dog dish outside near the ice. Pet friendly. Bring your pup or kitty inside! (I don't know their policy on pet snakes, rodents or horses)

There's a scooter rental spot out front. (we're talking about the puke green rental foot scooters here, like motorised skateboards with handles)

Small but well stocked. Staff is super friendly. Prices are competitive. If you live in the 'Noke this is like the Texas Tavern of groceries. Give it a try!

2022 Update Still going strong and diversifying a bit. There's an ATM inside, lottery tickets, lots of popular vape stuff, slightly wider selection of fresh veggies. If you want the Boar's Head sliced meat or cheese, order early. Deli part closes at 1400 (2pm) and they take...

I live near this store. It's the friendliest neighborhood market i think i've frequented in a long time. They always have a different variety of things each week on the shelves that always change from week to week. I make a point to go in there at least once a week just to see what they have different on the walls and shelves. Their prices are very reasonable. They carry just about everything you may need from groceries to household items, cleaning supplies, tools, self care, oddball things such as paint products, auto needs, i mean literally everything! It isn't a big store and it isn't a huge stock of everything, but they definitely have a modest amount of about everything you could possibly be looking for and need, but not expect to find without having to drive out of the way to get. It's not like a convenience store at all, but more like a small local marketplace. Their prices are very modest in comparison to the high convenience store prices. The employees are very friendly and remind you of shopping with a neighbor and not a stranger. The store is well kept & clean. The inventory is new, not outdated. The environment is warm, friendly...

This little store is amazing!! Great stop for locals and most definitely for people passing through town! It quaint with hints of OLD SOUTHWEST. It is not only a convience store but you are able to get most all your shopping needs done locally! No need for a special trip to large superstores. Old fashioned candies (great for Christmas) or anytime and deli meats cheeses and desserts from Boars Head cut fresh for you! The staff is fast and friendly and if they dont have what you are looking for the owner will go out of his way to make sure you get it!...
