Hometown Market

Words can not express how grateful and blessed we were to have Kim a part of our family.
Through the many years Kim devoted her time and efforts towards serving others and being that constant helping hand. Making Hometown Market a better place for everyone. Kim's spirit will live on forever. Her impact on us will not fade. Will never be forgotten. Our hearts go out to all of her loved ones and the entire Kosmicki family.
Hometown Market will be closed from 12:00-3:00 Friday, so her Hometown family can pay respects to our long time friend.
Kim will be dearly missed.

We are getting closer.....
HOW WILL YOU REMEMBER this store?
Please share your favorite memory or even a photo in the comments. Of Havliks, Jack & Jill,
or Hometown Market.

This building has served our community since 1961, but it was the people inside it who gave it life.

For generations, it has been more than just a grocery store. It has been a place of first jobs, lifelong friendships, familiar faces, and countless memories. We are grateful for every employee, customer, and family who has been part of its story.

While the building may change, the people, memories, and community that made it special never will. Thank you for the support, trust, and friendships you've given us throughout the years.

We're excited for what's ahead, but we'll never forget where we came from or where we belong.

*Attention Customers* 🍗 🍗 🐔 🐔

Due to an unexpected equipment failure, our chicken fryer is currently out of service. After exploring every option to repair and restore it, we have made the decision to pause our fried chicken program until the opening of our new location this fall.
Our Chester's fried chicken has been apart of your weekly routine, family meals, and traditions.
That's not something we take lightly and we truly understand the disappointment this may cause.

The two fryers that will be installed at the new location needs a full ventilation system to operate safely. Our current building isn't set up for that, and installing one here wouldn't meet safety or code requirements.

When Home Plate Market opens this fall, we will be bringing back Chester's chicken better than ever! With new equipment, an upgraded setup, and renewed focus on quality and consistency. We are committed to delivering an experience that exceeds anything we've done before.

In the meantime, our Deli department and staff remain focused on serving you in every other way we can, with the same care, intention, and appreciation you deserve.

Thank you for your patience and most importantly- your continued support. It truly means everything to us as we build something even better for this community.
