Why do they call themselves Amish Market? I went to their website, and did not see anything that would lead me to believe that they were Amish owned, operated, or carry items from that region/culture.

The chain's name comes from the original store, Amish Farmers Market, which bought all of its produce from Amish farms in Pennsylvania, Mr. Eren said. Eventually the store, which was founded in 1991, expanded and began offering different products, but the name stuck. The stores still carry many products from Amish sellers in Lancaster, Pa., Mr. Eren said.

Thanks, Kyle. Live and learn; that's what I say.

I should have read the article first. It sounds interesting. I however, do not forsee the demise of the classic supermarket, any time soon. Due to the increase in big "drug stores" like CVS, Rite-Aid, and everything stores like Walmart, many supermarkets are now using a lot of their shelfspace for items that you usually wouldn't find much of, in such stores. Pathmark, as well as other supermarkets, have cut their selection of food and other traditional items, to make room for these items. One time I was looking for a particular canned veggie that was on sale, and it was out of stock. Well looking for another brand, I noticed that they only had two brands, other than the house brand. That's when I put 2+2 together. Some supermarkets have now put in whole aisles dedicated to ethnic/regional/imported foods, also.

That's the changing face of retail.
