Marina Market — Local services in Poulsbo

I want to thank Marina Market for giving me the opportunity to teach my kids a couple of lessons on how not to run a business. We were excited to stop by this store on our way back from a camping trip. We all had masks on and walk in and are immediately told due to COVID they are only allowing one person per party in at time. There are no other customers in the store and we were wearing masks which is following the current guidelines. Then the employee also informs us that due to COVID they are also not allowing kids in the store. Now this is store that sells a variety of items and not a place where you would expect kids to not be allowed. They tout a huge variety of licorice which we were excited to check out and purchase. So we left and said nothing to the clerk and decided that this is not a place that I am willing to give my money to. As we are in our car deciding what to do next we watch a couple walk in and they are not turned away. Which both my kids notice. They then ask why can those people go in but we can’t? We tell them that this is not a store that we want to spend our money at anyway and leave. My wife then leaves a review on Facebook about our experience and the replies back from management confirm every feeling we have about this place. They offered nothing but excuses for their behavior. So first I was able to show my kids that they matter. Any business that doesn’t want my kids to come in is no business I will ever patron or recommend to anyone at anytime. If you are going to implement a policy of one person per party that should be observed for EVERY party no matter the age or size of the party. By allowing an adult couple in and telling my kids they are not allowed to come in you are telling my kids they don’t matter. If that is your company ethics then you are a poor company. As someone who is integral in running a small business I go above and beyond to make sure every single person that comes through my door, no matter if they are paying or just tagging along, that they are a value to me. This is showing kindness and gratitude to EVERY single person. Because that child today is the adult of tomorrow. If it is a matter of space then you only allow a certain number of people(no matter how old) inside the store just like every other business I have go to. However to hide behind COVID is absolutely ridiculous. So once again I want to thank you for providing a simple real work way for me to show my kids first that they matter and second a person is a person no matter what age they are and that every person deserves to be treated with respect...

Very good worldwide beer selection along with other European items. My review would be 5 stars if I didn't have to deal with their owner or manager or whoever was monitoring the parking lot. This person apparently didn't see me leave the store after I bought my items and he had to tell me 3 times that I was parked on private property. This all happened because I saw some relatives and I was greeting them for a couple minutes while standing next to my car before leaving. I tried to show him my receipt but he still didn't believe me. At no time did I leave the area where I was parked other than entering or leaving the store. The only reason I was there was to shop at Marina Market. Ive been a customer for at least 15 years. Ive always been happy to spend money at your business however this experience left me...
