Good Things Grow When We Share Them: How Newport Avenue Market Supports Central Oregon
From our shelves to your screens, we’re celebrating the makers, growers, dreamers, and community organizations that make Central Oregon extraordinary.
At Newport Avenue Market, we’ve always believed that a grocery store can be so much more than a place to buy groceries.
It can be a gathering place. A launching pad for a small business. A champion for local farmers. A partner to nonprofits doing important work. A place where neighbors discover neighbors, and where a good idea, made with a whole lot of heart, finds its first customers.
For 50 years, we’ve been proud to be part of the Central Oregon community. And for us, supporting local has never been a marketing slogan. It’s simply how we do business.
Supporting Local Businesses in Central Oregon
Take a walk through Newport Avenue Market, and you’ll find something special tucked between the familiar grocery staples: the creativity, passion, and hard work of Central Oregon’s local makers.
From small-batch sauces and handcrafted treats to locally grown produce, artisan foods, and specialty products, our shelves tell the stories of the people who call this region home.
And here’s something you might not know.
For many Central Oregon businesses, Newport Avenue Market was one of their very first retail partners. For some, it was their first retail location.
Before their products appeared in stores across Oregon, before their businesses grew into recognizable local brands, and before their names became familiar throughout our community, they were entrepreneurs with an idea, a product they believed in, and a dream of sharing it with the world.
We love being part of those beginnings.
Because when a local maker succeeds, that success reaches far beyond one business. It supports families, creates jobs, strengthens our local economy, and inspires the next generation of entrepreneurs.
That’s what shopping local really means to us.
