Country Mercantile — Pasco
Pasco, WA
A Pasco market where produce, gourmet foods, gifts and deli counters surround a visible chocolate factory, with house-made sweets and gelato inside and a pumpkin-patch Harvest Festival taking over the property each October.
Country Mercantile turns a specialty grocery into a much stranger retail complex by combining visible candy production, prepared food, gifts, ice cream and seasonal farm attractions.

Specialty grocery, produce market, visible chocolate production, deli, ice cream and gelato, gifts and home décor, and a seasonal pumpkin-patch festival at one Pasco property.
Specialty grocery, produce market, visible chocolate production, deli, ice cream and gelato, gifts and home décor, and a seasonal pumpkin-patch festival at one Pasco property.
Country Mercantile's Pasco property combines a specialty grocery and produce market with a visible Chocolate Factory, deli, Mexican prepared foods, gift and home-décor retail, espresso, ice cream and house-made Italian gelato. The business makes its own chocolates, fudge and gelato while also stocking changing local, regional and third-party grocery goods, so the whole inventory should not be treated as in-house production. Visitors can watch chocolates being made when production is active, but no particular product or stage is guaranteed. The Pasco property also hosts a seasonal October Harvest Festival and pumpkin patch; those attractions are not presented as open during this September verification. The Richland branch and its location-specific bakery features are excluded.
