The Durham Market

I've been shopping here most of my life, and have worked here on and off. It holds a special place in my heart and is the true meaning of community. The same regulars come and go, and the staff never forgets a face. The more you shop here, the more they get to know you and what you're looking for, whether it's frequent grocery purchases, what you want for lunch, or if you come in every day at 4 for a fresh French bread, right out of the oven.

The store changed ownership a little over a year ago, and it looks great. They renovated the interior with new floors, did a complete overhaul of the front of the store, and recently made many improvements in the deli, including new equipment, and a larger selection of meats, and other deli items. The store's shelves are stocked with essentials, now with a larger selection of organic products. They are also featuring a "Shop Local" section in the front of the store, which allows local vendors and artisans an outlet to display and sell their wares and products.

In the deli, there's always a soup of the day, and a daily lunch special that's usually $3.99 and ready to "grab n go" in the warmer, along with dinners that are usually ready around 3pm. There's another "grab n go" cooler stocked with dinners to bring home and heat yourself, salads, and soups.

And let's not forget the infamous Durham Market French bread, which you can find in the basket next to the deli, fresh out of the oven.

The new owners have put a lot of effort into restoring not only the esthetics, but the true essence of what the Durham Market is to it's community. They give back to their community, and always open their door to donate to a good cause, allow raffle ticket sales for fundraisers, and host a community bulletin board at the front of the store.

I love this store and I'm so glad to see it thriving again! If you live in the area, or are just passing through, I highly recommend you stop in and check it out!

What a wonderful little market. Their meats are absolutely wonderful! Owner very nice and we are happy to find this place.

I moved to Durham and trying to support local business and I’m sure glad I did! Everyone is always so friendly, they have everything I need for groceries, frozen, package, produce, deli. Everything comes from local farms! At the deli everything is freshly made and they even bake their own bread. They make sandwiches too and the one I had was amazing! I posted a picture of the menu to help them out! If you need groceries or quick bite to eat definitely go there!

I got the Pisgah Mountain. Absolutely delicious. Bacon was crispy service was phenomenal speedy and with a smile. I will be coming to Durham Deli whenever I am in the area. Thank you for the awesome sandwich!

Their grinders are so good. Please don't ever change your bread. I just wish you were open earlier so I can come by before work in the morning. YES. I do crave their sandwiches in the AM

The Durham market is an American staple. A town treasure. Make sure to say hi to the manager Bob the nicest man in the world. The place have just come under new ownership and there have been some wonderful renovations. Worth checking out. The deli makes delicious sandwiches.

My girlfriend and I got food from the deli here after a hike at Wadsworth. It was delicious! I got a chicken cutlet grinder and she got turkey. Everything from the bread to the toppings. Didn't skimp out on the meat. Wasn't that pricey either. For two large grinders some anti pasta and drinks was a little less than $20. Will definitely be coming back here.

Excellent place. New owners have done a lot to improve the market. Everytime I go in there’s something new. Prices are solid for a small town store/deli. Not trying to rip anyone off. Owners also really responsive to suggestions. I went in for pies one day and they told me they didn’t carry them. Three days later pies were in stock and have been ever since. I love that!

I wasn't there. Never enough parking. So I turn around. I'll still give 5 stars for the grinders I've bought in the past.

Fantastic Italian market. Well equipped, friendly and quality food.
