Talk about great Hometown atmosphere in a grocery store. Thriftway is always been a chain that has that kind of atmosphere but this one up on Mount Hood by Rhododendron is absolutely perfect even had a first time register operator who fully admitted it was her first day and I was more than happy to be patient with her because she admitted it. Nowadays people seem to think they have to fake it when in reality you may be dealing with somebody that actually owns the company or has worked for the company before and you just make yourself look like a fool this woman was an exemplary employee on her first day and I challenge any other new employees that aren't sure about how they should act to follow her around.

We forgot coffee creamer and we're pleasantly surprised by their large selection of coffee creamers. We also noticed the vast selection of local brews on tap at the growler fill station at the front of the store with a very vivid electronic menu. Lots of offerings here. We...

This store is like an oasis in a desert. We always stop here on our way to Mt Hood.

It is not the cheapest store we go to, but location is everything and they carry almost everything you will need or want.

The best part is using the bathroom. Once again it's not the most glamorous of bathrooms, but it is still a welcome site after setting in the car for two hours.

It is also the last stop for gas befor hitting Madras. Aswell as a rental shop that has everything you need for hiking or...
