Express Market 742 Southwest 18th Avenue, Portland, OR 97205

"I recently had the misfortune of visiting Express Market, and I must say it was a truly unsettling experience. This market has not only displayed an utter disregard for the health and well-being of our youth but also contributes to the alarming rise in underage vaping. It is disheartening to see such a blatant disregard for ethics and responsibility. First and foremost, the most glaring issue is the open sale of vaping products to minors. It's shocking to witness the sheer audacity of Express Market in allowing underage kids to purchase these potentially harmful products without any questions or restrictions. This complete lack of age verification and regulation demonstrates a total absence of ethics and social responsibility on the part of the market's management. Furthermore, the market's staff members appear to be entirely complicit in this dangerous practice. It's evident that they prioritize profit over the health and well-being of young customers. This negligent approach fosters a toxic atmosphere that encourages underage vaping, putting the lives of these impressionable individuals at risk. The quality of the vaping products sold here is also questionable. It's hard to trust the authenticity and safety of the items on their shelves, considering their willingness to flout the law. This raises concerns about the potential health hazards associated with the products they offer, such as subpar ingredients or even counterfeit goods. Beyond the ethical and health concerns, the overall shopping experience at Express Market is lackluster at best. The store's atmosphere is far from inviting, and the customer service is indifferent at best. It's clear that they prioritize profit over customer satisfaction, further highlighting their disregard for the well-being of the community. I strongly urge parents, community leaders, and responsible adults to avoid this market and take action to protect our youth from this harmful influence."

"I had a terrible experience at this market recently. First of all, they insisted I take off my backpack while shopping, which felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, a homeless man almost stole my belongings while they had me distracted. But what shocked me the most was witnessing them sell vapes and weed devices to a kid who couldn't have been older than 12 and appeared to be from the nearby high school. This place clearly lacks security and responsible business practices. I won't be returning."

"I do not recommend buying any disposable vapes, got one it was a counterfeit. Checking with the verification system, showed the code was checked over 189 times. The employee seemed unbothered and not shocked when I informed her. DO NOT BUY"

"Dropped by after Timbers game! Great beer selection! Nice convenience store clean and good service. There was a long line but cashier was great! Will come back for sure!"

"Used to be a cool vibe, been coming here for years on my way to work and didn't mind the high prices because the staff was great! Your new morning person however, is very disrespectful to the community members with threats and poor judgement, they need training, badly. I have reached out to the owner with concerns, but in typical fashion these days, no response."
