An Oasis in Our Food Desert

Nearly 23 years after Indian Head’s last grocery store closed its doors, here is what you can expect from Oasis Fresh Foods Market.

Locally Owned and Locally Operated

Oasis Fresh Foods Market and Papaleo’s Ice Cream have been created to add value to the town of Indian Head and our surrounding areas. That includes adding job opportunities for ambitious local residents.

Employee owned is a good way to go. We have one in town that has about five stores in a couple counties and I go there for most of my groceries. There's an Albertson's too and a healthfood store. I go to all three for different things but I only go to Albertson's for a few items the others don't carry.

I hope they do well and the locals can find good jobs there.
