Big box stores and big name grocery stores usually have whatever items we need. We can run in and out in a pretty good time frame, too. What those stores don’t have, however, is the charm of the markets of yesteryear, when shopkeepers knew shoppers by name and would often stop for conversation. Next time you need to pick up a few items, bypass your usual spots and head to this old-fashioned country market in Missouri.
Weaver's Country Market, nestled in the charming village of Excelsior, has been a community favorite since it first opened in 1972.
Pick up a loaf or two of freshly-baked bread, and grab a deli sandwich. You can even customize and order your sandwich online, so it's ready when you arrive at the shop.
If you need ingredients for your next meal, you'll find them, too. Weaver's Country Market stocks everything from extracts and dry mixes to cooking oils.
Don't worry if you need cooking supplies. The charming country store's got you covered with its selection of utensils, stoneware, blenders, and cast iron.
The old-school country market also shelves a little bit of everything - books, candy, soap, and hair supplies, for example - so you'll probably find just what you need.
