If you’re Hispanic you can easily recognize this place. Is the center of life in any of our communities. If the place where you, and most importantly your mother, and your grandmother can find all the staples of Spanish traditional food and more.
I ended up at Festival Supermarket because I ran out of coffee, and my experience couldn’t have been better.
Parking was easy, as the plaza the store is located on is huge, with ample space for everyone. Additionally finding the Supermarket is easy as well as it’s the biggest place there with the loudest sign.
When you walk in you are met with the typical set up of a supermarket. You have the fruits, and vegetables on one side and the different aisles presenting you with a little bit of everythingX but is the diversity of the options presented that really gets you. Again, is the availability of those products your mother and grandmother grew up with, and taught you to love that makes this place truly espacial.
Suffice to say, I got my coffee, and it won’t be the last time I buy my coffee there. The lady at the register was awesome enough to ring me even as she was about to close her lane, and as I was ready to walk out with everything I wanted, I heard also say - “Merry Christmas!” - Merry a...
Read moreIt is now called Festival Supermarket. My mother was not happy after coming here today. She shops early in the morning to purchase groceries. She was one of the first people in the seafood area and she waited a long time. The people weren't prepared and started prepping when they got there so she left and started shopping for other things in the store after a long wait.

So I asked if they weren't going in order using the numbers and another lady questioned if they weren't using the number system as well. One of the men replied yes and took my ticket. My mother decided to purchase other meat, I eventually got my crabs after waiting a long time. However, my mother does NOT want me to bring her back here ever again because of the experience she had with the seafood...
Read moreVisited the University and Commerical location on January 14 2023. Purchased items from the seafood and meat department and one item from produce. On check out, one of my items rung up higher than the advertised price and I had to pull the ad to show the cashier and management the price being charged isn't the advertised price [so make sure you watch the monitor as your items are being scanned]. I paid for my items and proceeded out. Got home a few hours later to find one of my item was missing. Returned to the location for a young lady [ I guess she is part of front end management] to tell my I picked up all my item and she's sorry. I did not come home with one item which means the item probably was not push down the belt for me to retrieve. So the lesson learned is make sure you check out there cashier's to be sure you get all items purchased because as the young lady [front end manager] tried to prove that her video indicates I picked up all my items, BUT I AM STILL WITHOUT THE ITEM I PAID FOR. This not a customer...
