"Awesome little market. Pioneer Market is a great place to pickup any last minute needs, or snacks before entering Yosemite. They have a great selection of different products, a nice deli and coffee bar. The only downside is the prices are a bit high, but overall this a great place to stop by."

"This is not your small town grocery store! Reasonably priced and huge selection of items. Produce takes great care in keeping it fresh. You can use points earned at the local Grizzly Gas Station for a discount at the pump, too. Discounts for seniors on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A wonderfully friendly staff that adds to the whole shopping experience."
