The New Market

by Deborah Elvrom

November 21, 2003 was opening day of The New Market, located on the Culver Highway in the little town of Metolius, Oregon.

Martin Martes Sanchez and wife Arisbeth Bautista Montes had been looking for just such a business when this became available. This husband and wife team is working diligently to build up their store.

Future plans include fully stocked shelves with a wide selection of produce, traditional Mexican foods as well as regular grocery store items. Sanchez also hopes to open a Mexican restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner at reasonable prices.

Martin and Arisbeth live in Culver with their two young children. Medford was home for Sanchez before moving to Culver 12 years ago. He has been a Madras Brightwood employee for the past eight years.

Winter hours are 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. In the summer, hours will be 6 a.m. - 10 p.m. everyday. A Grand Opening is scheduled for Sunday, January 25, 2004 from 12 p.m. - 4 p.m.

Stop in, say hello to these friendly shop owners and pick up some goodies to take home.
