There’s plenty of places to shop in the Sunflower State, including farmers markets and big box stores, but nothing beats the feeling of knowing your market cares about you. Incredible supermarkets in small towns across Kansas are one in a million. We’ll always need groceries, and these little stores are here for us. Let’s give a shout out to these incredible supermarkets you probably aren’t familiar with, but are worth a visit when you’re in town.
1. SPK Grocery - 406 E 14th St, Harper, KS
Next time you're in the area, make sure to stop at one of Kansas' most incredible supermarkets for some affordable fruits and vegetables, and brands you'll love, but never find anywhere else. Then, you can enjoy the simple comfort of having your groceries taken to your car for you, so you don't have to worry about returning the cart. In addition to your groceries, you can also take home a box of fresh fried chicken from the shack. Personally, it's my favorite!
2. Your Brewster Grocery - 325 Kansas Avenue Brewster, KS
Open 7:30 am to 6 pm and closed on Sundays, this little grocer is known for their daily lunch sales and great meat quality. The quaint small town of Brewster loves their little grocery, and you should too!
3. Mama C's Grocery and Meat Market - 220 Galveston St, Thayer, KS
If you're looking for fantastic quality meat fresh or sliced, then this is a great local destination to try. In addition to meat cut how you like it, they also offer deer processing, which is a great bonus for so many local hunters in the area.
4. Larry's - 103 E Main Anthony, KS
Bought in the late 60's, and rebuilt (after it burned down) in the 70's, this family-operated grocery store in small town Kansas is always a treat to browse. Yet, you'll never run out of new things to try, because there's often an item or two you won't find in any big box stores. Every visit is a treat!
5. Floyd's Market - 108 S Douglas St Sedan, KS
This is truly a market that cares about its customers the most. Ever since 1914 when it opened, this little grocery has been making lifetime customers out of the locals in Sedan. Why not stop in for a sale next time you're coming through?
6. Ladow's Supermarket - 415 Main St Lebanon, KS
In addition to being an incredible supermarket in a small town, this shop is also part restaurant! The food is delicious and homemade, and the menu changes daily to keep you interested. All the more reason to stop in on your next visit!
7. Raye's Grocery - 119 W Commercial St, Oberlin, KS
This hometown grocery open from 7 am to 8 pm serves everything you'd need from treats to necessities. They're one of the few stores left where your groceries are carried to your car for you, as a policy instead of a request. I guess big stores just don't have the time!
8. Mr. K's Foodtown - 109 S Jefferson St Plainville, KS
In addition to a wonderful selection of groceries, this little shop also has a photo printing kiosk for your memories you've made on your road trip. Who knows, maybe you'll want to be a return customer!
