	— Template:Data:Links singing about Barg n' Mart, "Help Wanted."

Template:LTab Template:Location Barg'N-Mart is one of the main supermarkets in Bikini Bottom. It first appears in the episode "Help Wanted."

About

Their most famous product is Kelpo cereal, but they also have products meeting all of one's spatula needs, as stated by Template:Data:Links in "Help Wanted." This store is the common marketplace for all Bikini Bottomites. The store functions much like a usual bargain store.

Products shown there include their wall of Kelpo, their paper towels, deodorant, baby powder, soup, and night lights. In the video game Employee of the Month, it is shown to sell cooking oil, jellyfish jelly, TVs, and Food-in-a-can.

Description

Exterior

Barg'N-Mart resembles a huge brown treasure chest with a skull-and-crossbones and there is a sign that appears to be designed like a scroll or map, which depicts the store's name written in black text.

Interior

The interior of Barg'N-Mart has orange walls and a metal floor. When a customer first walks in, there is a cash register to the right. There is also an express lane as well. In "Goodbye, Krabby Patty?," it is revealed that there is a freezer section within the store.

Role in series

Barg'N-Mart is a common store that a majority of Bikini Bottom goes to. It appears in many episodes and seems to be the local supermarket for SpongeBob and the other Bikini Bottomites.

Destruction

"Boating Buddies": It is driven through by SpongeBob's boatmobile while on his driving test.
"Karate Star": Patrick destroys Barg'N-Mart with his uncontrollable karate hand.
SpongeBob Tower Defense: It was on fire alongside all the other Bikini Bottom buildings in the Bikini Bottom world until the player saves the day.
Plankton: The Movie: It got pulled away and became part of Template:Data:Links's destructive creation, Mega Karen, in a solo plan for world domination.

Trivia

Their slogan, "Meeting all of your spatula needs," is reminiscent of the fictional spatula store called Spatula City from the 1989 movie UHF.
In the episode "Bunny Hunt," it is simply called "Grocery." That episode also reveals that they sell pets.
There appears to be a kiddie ride outside the store as seen in "Mid-Life Crustacean." SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs are seen riding a seahorse and a clam while Patrick mistakes Incidental 40 as a rider.
In the video game Legend of the Lost Spatula, the sign mistakenly reads "BargN'Mart."
The name is a play on the word "bargain" and the pirate phrase "argh!," the latter being in reference to the pirate-themed exterior of the store.
The only seasons it hasn't appeared in are 4, 8, 10, and 14.
