Bright crisp,cool. Yes, the air conditioner works! works fine and that should be a priority. Nice air makes the product look nice, and people are comfortable and ready to spend their money, especially in the produce. Ready to keep it all clean. Rotated. Rest oh that store looks good, and slower moving items are marketed with less out but in more of a good presentation and they keep on it. It seems to keep at that. Everybody seems to be cognizant of that and moving its product around looks good. I imagine this is stuff that their market sells.. What goes down here at Padre Island?

If you're staying nearby, don’t hesitate to stop here first. Island Market is a convenient, reliable option that exceeded...

Nice selection of "beach snacks" like pre-made deli sandwiches, desserts, veggie bags, chips, dips, cookies, and more. Large cooler of individual soft drinks & energy drinks, and a cold beer aisle.

Very clean & neat, and...
