For such a tiny town, we have a pretty excellent grocery store. When we first moved to Waterville, we were careful to do all of our shopping in Wenatchee. We avoided the local store for quite some time, assuming that the prices would be unreasonably jacked-up and that the selection would be meager. I was also harboring bad memories of a rancid box of Cheez-Its I once purchased from a small-town convenience store.
One day out of desperation (I think I forgot to buy eggs) Adam and I took the grueling two-block walk to the Waterville Family Grocer. We were actually amazed at how large the store was; it looks so much smaller from the outside. We were also surprised at the large selection. They have a little bit of everything and all of the food, including the crackers, is nice and fresh! The store is clean, the staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable.
They recently modernized, adding scanners to the check stands, but I love how they maintain an old fashioned, rural store feel, maintaining individual charge accounts on hand-written manila cards.
We're so glad we finally gave our local store a chance. Just another reminder to us that not all small-town stereotypes apply to Waterville.
