Main Street Market, Panama – Celebrating 20 years serving Shelby County and surrounding communities.

Main Street Market and Catering is the place to find a wide variety of grocery, fresh meat, produce and bakery items.

Here is something to know. During the past 20 years, Main Street Market has ground 180,000# of ground chuck, cut 13,000# of steaks, sold 21,000 bottles of Mountain Dew, baked 3,100 pizzas, and crafted 22,500 sub sandwiches just to name a few things. They’ve also met and catered delicious food to over 200,000 great people during the happy times in their lives and the not so happy times.

Speaking of catering. Main Street Market has more than 15 years of experience in the catering business. They provide cater-ing services for every special event of your life. When you hire them for catering services (business meetings, birthdays, fami-ly reunions, and weddings), Tracey and Allen Kenkel will make sure that your event has deliciously hand-crafted food so that your guests will leave happy and satisfied. They serve appetizers, special desserts or custom-made cakes. Ask about their A la carte and pickup/delivery options when you call.

Tracey and Allen want to thank all their past, present, and future customers for all the support given over the last 20 years. When they opened Main Street Market, there were seven privately owned non-chain grocery stores in Shelby County. Now there is only one. Without their customers, there would not be a Main Street Market.

To say “thank you” for all your support, Main Street Market will be running specials throughout the year. For the remainder of January and the entire month of February, you can purchase 2 – 16” single topping pizzas for $20. There will be additional specials in the upcoming months and a Customer Appreciation Cook-Out sometime this summer.

Thank you, again.
