“ This place brings back childhood memories for me. I used to live in the East San DiegoCity Heights area as a kid and regularly frequented this store when it was just a small establishment. Now its all grown up, and the staff have changed but not the friendly service and care for customers its come to be known for. When in town, and if I have time I make it a point to visit Murphys Market for its great service, selection and above all, the precious memories. Thank you, Murphys!! ”
