Price Rite Market and Deli
Have you ever gone into a store, and it almost feels like going home? That’s what Price Rite Market feels like to me. Like going to the neighbood market that was up the street when you were a kid. They’ve got a little bit of everything, and they make some great food, too!
It’s a little bit supermarket, a little bit deli, and lot of other stuff added in. They have daily specials & a great menu of sandwiches & dinner items for takeout. If you’ve never stopped in, you really should. You’ll meet some super nice folks!
You’ll find them on Facebook where they are pretty active & you’ll frequently see posts about their specials. Or you can order on their Website.
Business Hours
Mon - Sat: | 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM |
Sun: | 6:00 AM - 7:00 PM |
Clay County Parks
Did you know that Clay County Parks & Rec has an app? I just ran across it, so I thought maybe some of you might want to check it out too.
App Store - When I scanned the QR code, it directed me to the app in Google Play. I assume it will work for Apple as well. I couldn’t find a link, sorry!
