The Little Produce Store Around the Corner

Figure [1]: The display of the produce store "Church Produce" in our neighborhood.

Angelika Most Germans know the concept of American corner stores from various Hollywood movies, where customers can quickly buy a few things at any time of day or night that they have just run out. There is usually an interesting range of things to be purchased there from beer to snacks, milk and sweets, but also flour and toilet paper.

Figure [2]: The store has everything, and you're done in a flash.

In our neighborhood on Church Street, there is a wonderful little store of this kind, but it is quite special, because at "Church Produce", you can find not only a wide variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, great bread, but also dairy products, pasta and coffee from small roasters. We are always amazed at how well the store is stocked. Because here we also find our beloved Italian Mortadella, which is not easy to find in the USA. The fruit and vegetables are always of excellent quality and yet affordable.

Figure [3]: It's nice that our neighborhood still has small shops.

The employees are always super friendly and give their customers the feeling that they have known them for a long time. Since the store is located in our neighborhood but is still 15 minutes away on foot from our apartment, we often combine a shopping trip there with our daily walk. We hope that "Church Produce" will stay, because running a small store in San Francisco is often a big challenge. But the people in the neighborhood love the store, and it is always well visited.

Greetings from San Francisco!
