Tombstone market

Ryan Usher

Once nothing more than a hole-in-the-wall shop to buy guitars from long haired, bearded fellows, the Tombstone name in these parts has seemingly widened its market scope and its property holdings, yet has lost none of the dignified charm I have known it by since my teenage years in the late 80's and 90's. The other day I stopped into Tombstone market because, quite frankly, I needed a grocery sack. The Fred Meyer up the street only has paper bags, and in the wet weather months here in the Great Northwest, paper bags don't last long. By the time I'd gotten just two bus stops down my bag's bottom was falling apart and my groceries were trying to escape. I was flat broke; not even pocket change to make a deal with. I had no course of action to take besides dropping into the Tombstone Market and making a mercy appeal. Well, needless to say, the shopkeeper did not make me grovel or beg or even force me to do labor to pay off the cost of the bag. You may think I'm joking, but I'm telling you that some places take these matters extremely seriously. I've more than once been treated like a second class citizen with parasites because I asked for a free plastic bag or cup of water. Tombstone Market, in short, saved the day for me. If they had been as stingy with me as some places I know, there's no telling how I'd have gotten home with my stuff that day. It's a charming little market nestled in the quiet neighborhood of historic Old 82nd Avenue in Clackamas by Happy Valley. The plot is quaint and cozy with a uniquely distinctive western style. The store is neat, orderly, and well stocked. The people are friendly and helpful; almost neighborly without being nosy. Overall it's just a very fine place, and I recommend everyone should visit at least once. In a world that's going increasingly cookie-cutter, Tombstone keeps itself a strong local tradition.

Employees are always friendly and they seem to try to always put a smile on shoppers faces and in their hearts.

The owner(s) and family are so amazing and caring, you'll never find a better fast general store around!! Note:no hotcase food but offer microwave upon purchase :)

Shame on all you for denigrating the cashier lady based on her appearance. i don't even know who you are referring to because whenever i stop in, at most any hour seeing as i live right down the road, the cashiers are always nice and attentive. Great prices and Sam (the owner) is the nicest guy, his family is sweet as heck too.
