Family Fare Supermarket — Attraction in Fargo

I've been going to Family Fare on North University for over three years now and have always had a pleasant experience. The store is always clean and well stocked. The main thing that keeps me going back is that the staff remembers me, or at least pretends they do.. Let me explain. They offer a Military Discount there (Uhm yay!) and whenever I go to pay and ask for a military discount they say "Oh yes that's right, I'm sorry." I don't go to the grocery store That often, I don't expect them to remember me at all, but every time I ask for a military discount it sparks that memory and for some reason that makes me feel remembered and cared about.

The only reason I docked them a star is because it gets very sketchy there at night. I know it's not really the stores fault, it's more of a location thing. But if I'm going there past 9pm I try to bring a friend with because there are some very questionable looking people who hang out there after dark. I don't know what kind of security they have in place but I feel like they could maybe do a little more to make their customers feel safe. Maybe discourage people from loitering after dark. Have a few more employees on so that I can feel like there are trustworthy people looking out for me when I come in alone after dark... Idk, just some ideas. But overall I realize it's something that not much can be done about and it hasn't ever been a huge hindrance for me...

They are way over priced like hornbachers had toilet paper with more to package for cheaper then the cheapest brand u could find there. On other stuff their price is like ten dollars higher. Not only that but they price tags on the shelving areas most of the time are right and I means it will be the same product and brand but won’t be the correct pricing or whatever so it never really the price it says on the shelf and if u see a price different there on the shelf from a employee mess up of putting stock away or putting things up wrong they will NOT correct the price for you at all I got sick off there bakery and ready to eat food. I rather travel 15 mins away to get my items at way cheaper pricing and not only that but where the store makes it right for u. I’ve been going there for a while but after this time I won’t bc I never met a manager dean I think his name was that never made it right on the customer behind when the store was in the wrong. The associate was a horrible customer service person when it came to that problem to like no respect and very like idc ur wrong and trying to argue that it was in the wrong spot when there was 12 other ones on the shelf with the same price type. Don’t recommend like I said I saved so much more shopping elsewhere today and i see now that family fare over charges...

This is a delightful mix of practicality and local convenience, perfectly situated in the heart of the city. As a downtown grocery store, it offers an impressive variety of fresh produce, pantry staples, and specialty items, making it a go-to spot for both quick stops and more comprehensive shopping trips. The layout is intuitive, and the store is clean and well-maintained, with friendly staff always ready to assist.

What stands out about this location is its dedication to the community. Beyond just groceries, Family Fare caters to the busy downtown crowd with grab-and-go meals and a bakery section that’s hard to resist. For locals and visitors exploring downtown Fargo, it’s a great place to stock up on essentials without venturing far. The pricing is fair, and the store often runs promotions, adding to its appeal.

While it’s not the largest supermarket, its central location and thoughtful selection make it a vital part of the downtown experience. Whether you’re picking up ingredients for dinner or grabbing a quick snack, Family Fare combines convenience, quality, and a touch of local charm that fits Fargo’s...
