Friendly Street Market is an independently owned grocery store and neighborhood gathering spot in the heart of south Eugene's Friendly Street neighborhood. We specialize in natural, organic, local, and specialty food and beverages. Our store makes a big effort to reduce waste by offering refillable containers, bulk bins, discount produce shelf, a repository for used cooking oil, and more. We love the work Toolbox Project does for our community, including waste reduction. They are a wonderful resource, and we are lucky to have them in our backyard.
