It's not any store, it's THE Store
The following was reported in the KC Pitch magazine in the "Out & About" section by Charles Ferruzza
I was driving on Raytown Road the other day when I saw the sign for The Store, the "Old Fashioned Meat Market" at 6624 Raytown Road. The list of daily specials included frog legs and Delmonico steaks. The building couldn't have bee more nondescript -- it looked like a small-town convenience store -- but I felt some strange compulsion to go in.
I'm Glad I did, because I stumbled on one of the great treasures of Kansas City's East side: a little supermarket, as neat as a pin, with the most amazing butcher section. The refrigerated cases were filled with glorious cuts of beef that were distinctly less expensive than in Midtown. The cases were stocked with some oddities, too, including oversized mushrooms caps filled with cream cheese, jalapeno queso and grated cheddar (four for $3.89) or baking off in the oven. The Store's butchers also make fresh ham salad -- it's delicious! -- almost ever day.
For shoppers used to only wheeling their carts through giant stores like Hy-Vee and Price Chopper, The Store may seem too quaint for words. But it does stock one of the biggest selections of barbecue sauces, marinades and rub in town. I bought a jar of Blues Hog Barbe3cue Sauce from Perry, Missouri, and discovered that it's fabulous with brisket, meatloaf and ... stuffed mushrooms caps!
