The Foo Mart, also called the Co-op, is the supermarket in Dog River where the residents buy food. Originally, the sign on the front of the store read "FOOD MARKET" (seen on posters in the windows) but over the years, some of the letters have fallen off and now the store is just called "Foo Mart" by the residents. Its first appearance is in the Season 1 episode "Pilates Twist". |
