Metro Chef Wholesale — Attraction in Duluth

The last time I purchased here it was great!! Their were the 2 brothers working here in grocery. Great & helpful workers.They were always willingly helping. They always had me informed when the products arrived.

The 2 brothers worked in grocery but they would also help out in produce willingly even if they werent in that department. Last time I went to buy at that store I asked for them because I didnt see them.

The 2 brothers told me they quit due to them having to do other workers work. And due to managers not hearing them out.

Since their retirement, I've recognized the store started to fall down. A lot of products lack, there are many expired products and theres a huge mess. When I ask for a product they always tell me they dont have when another worker told me they did.

Workers are really rude and lazy. They dont do their jobs, I dont see why they are hired. They are just getting paid to do nothing especially the managers, they are always sitting. I've seen how the managers treat customers, they are really offensive. Honestly I would rate the store a 0 unfortunately...

Shop here all the time, and notice lately all the price went up high and a lot of veggies has no sign to show prices, at the seafood area. Today find oyster tube on sale , grab couple , at checkout ring up original price, I taken a picture to show the cashier the sign of the tube, went to the seafoods area, the worker said customer put the sign there, and not this one but don’t have the sign for the regular price. I asked that’s the only sign there showing the name and price, he pick it up and tear it up and said there is no sign now you couldn’t proof it. I told him I already had the picture for it. The cashier told me nothing she can do, and called the manager over and said this is a jar not tube so it’s not the same price and not going to Honor it. I am very disappointed there customer service and pricing technique. I use to recommends alot of ppls shop there bc of the seafoods and great beef tender prices. Now I don’t think I will be going there as much...

It's similar to Costco, but carries Asian goods instead. They give you the option to buy individual units or entire cases. It seems to mainly cater to restaurants because they offer to-go boxes and disposable utensils.

The produce are prepackaged and are set to a flat price, but they don't indicate the weight. I have to go to the checkout and ask them for permission to use the scale. It's a hassle. I prefer Jusgo, Hong Kong Market, City Farmer's Market, and Great Wall for produce. The seafood, meat and pantry items are what draws me to MetroChef because the prices in these categories tend to be cheaper than most grocery stores.

They don't bag the item at checkout. They don't offer bags, period. You don't have to unload the items at the checkout. The cashier simply goes to your cart and scan them. The hours tend to be shorter...
