ALL IN THE FAMILY
For decades there has been a neighborhood market located on the site where
Joe's Grocery stands. However, the small stores of yesteryear would pale in
comparison to the selection that Adam Robertson offers in his grocery and
deli today. Joe's is a great place to fill-up - not only at the gas pump but at the
deli counter as well. Adam and his staff are always preparing a great selection
of local foods from seasonal crawfish and fried catfish to smoked pork chops
and other entrées that leave you coming back again and again. The drink cases
lining one side of the store are filled with nearly every beverage imaginable,
chilled and ready to consume. Joe's places an emphasis on customer service.
Rarely, do you have to ask for anything because there is usually someone ready
to assist you. " I moved back to El Dorado to help my dad run the family business, "
Robertson says, " so my dad could take care of my mom with her cancer
treatments. After 20 years, I'm still running our family business alongside my
wife, all the while raising our kids. "

Best advice I ever received: Best advice from my mom came from
the Bible verses she would leave by my bed (If you give the devil an

up on people, help who you can, work hard, and always try to better
yourself and others by helping them through hard times.
