Parktown Place Food Market

Park Towne Place is the worse place I have ever seen. We viewed 9 apt. the other day, Park Towne being one of them. They were bottom of the list. There are so many more apartments in Phila with better rates and nicer apartments. My friend lives there and I can’t tell you how many times she has had mice in her apartment.

This little grocery exceeded my (albeit low) expectations.
At first glance, it is a bit creepy looking. Set in a basement with no windows, below the parktowne gym and leasing office, across from the out-​of-​date looking parktowne beauty salon and the rarely-​open parktowne pilates studio…
But the people who work here are very friendly, most of the prices are competitive (especially compared to nearby Whole Foods), and even the produce is all right. My husband and I enjoyed two sensational peaches that he bought here — I was shocked when he revealed where he got them because I had just assumed this small basement grocery store would have disappointing produce. Their prepared foods section is limited and I never tried meat from this store, but if you live in or around the Parktowne complex this place is super convenient and not to be overlooked.
