After a challenging first day of classes, what sounds better than organic yogurt or a selection of fresh produce? Between the Farmers Market’s expanded schedule—it’s now open on Thursday and Monday—and today’s opening of My Market II on Raymond Avenue, the off-campus for students have markedly increased for the new semester.
Inside My Market
My Market II, which is occupying the space formerly filled by Wrapsody, may be especially welcome as it’s not limited by the seasons. The store features plenty of snack staples and dorm necessities like cookies, chips and detergent, but it also stocks a variety of more substantial groceries beyond general convenience store items. While a few drinks refrigerators and nooks here and there are still empty, store owner Bill Grimm said, “We have lots more to bring.”
Produce is available at My Market
My Market also carries a large selection of natural and organic products, a feature that is sure to appeal to Vassar students. Grimm said of the selection, “We’re trying to please everyone,” and he added that his goals for the store are to offer quality and choice for his customers.
