Penny Market — Local services in Portland

Just moved two blocks away from this spot. Typically I try to support local businesses over going to a big corporate spots like 7-11. I’m personally willing to pay a bit more to support locals. The problem is that two out of the four times I’ve come in the past three weeks, I’ve gone up to the register and the prices they are advertising have not been the price I was charged. Both times(for separate products with separate workers) I asked if they would honor the price they had posted and both times they refused. While I want to support local business, its apparent not all local businesses deserve to be supported. I get that its tough to compete with plaid pantry pricewise(plaid pantries non sale price is usually cheaper than penny markets sale price) but having fake sales that you don’t honor is just bad business. I personally, will be walking the extra two blocks to plaid pantry from now on. Not only is a six pack 2-4 dollars cheaper but they treat their customers...

I drove by it for years when I lived on on SE 28th, and only became a customer when I moved to SE 20th and Pine. Do not be put off by the somewhat tacky exterior, this is an A+ neighborhood convenience store with a wide selection of often times upper-scale products.

I have always found the clerks to be friendly and helpful, whether apparently employees or apparently the Korean ownership family. Do not ever hesitate to use the ample side or rear parking lots to stop and run into the Penny Market for whatever it is you might need on the way home or if you live in the...

To Whom It May Concern:

I am a veteran and very disappointed in your selling of Agent Orange hot sauce by Hard Times Sauce Company. I do like hot sauce but Agent Orange is not an appropriate name. Too many veterans have died and are suffering from the affects that agent orange has caused them.

Using the name Agent Orange to promote and sell products shows a lack of sensitivity to the plight of many veterans and their families. Your action by putting this product on your shelves shows a total disregard for the pain and medical suffering that is still being inflicted on men and women that served our country.
