There are franchise-style convenience stores attached to the numerous gas stations here in Baker, but they all feel pretty much the same. But Baker Market is different. Baker Market is the town's only mom-and-pop store and obviously caters to the local residents. It has a small vegetable selection, and carries items you would look for in a small town's general store--like the propane bottles I need for my "one-burner stove."
