Milk Pail Market reopens amid pandemic

The Milk Pail Market, the once-beloved grocery store has re-opened for drive-thru at their warehouse located in Mountain View.

While the “Thanks for 45 years” sign was hung outside the store front just last year, the Rasmussen family’s grocery store is open for business once again.

The reopened market has modified their business to ensure their customers are kept safe by having customers drive by the store to pick up their groceries.

Customers can make their way through the drive-thru, and choose from the selection of specially-curated boxes full of fresh produce, or the “essentials,” like European cheeses, jams, and their famous croissants.

Despite the shelter-in-place order, Milk Pail Market has a steady stream of customers. Unfortunately, the high demand of their products is hard to keep up with, leaving the market with many empty shelves.

While everyone is stuck at home, many people have turned to their kitchens to find comfort. And the Milk Pail Market has reopened to fill that need.
