The Family Dollar is a national chain. In addition to now carrying (some) groceries, Family Dollar also features various sundries and knick-knacks usually available for $1. Family Dollar has been a Parkville institution for well over a decade, serving families in Baltimore City and County.
Towson Oriental Food Market is tucked away near the back of the Loch Ridge Shopping Center in between Joan and Amuskai Streets just off of Loch Raven Boulevard. It provides a variety of Asian groceries including Chinese, Korean and Filipino foods, among others. Despite the exterior entrance being fairly small, the interior of the market is actually quite roomy with a number of different aisles and sections. There is a limited selection of fresh produce available, but the frozen food choices are vast. Many local restaurants purchase their ingredients from Towson Oriental Food Market as well. Customers should note that they are closed all day on Tuesdays.
