John's Marketplace — Attraction in Taylorsville

What defines excellence? When it comes to a grocery store you have to consider a lot of things. At John's I found a new level of excellence never before encountered by me or any other human being on this rock we call planet earth. When I first walked into the store I noticed the obvious change in temperature, air conditioners being the reason. After the summer heat it was a breath of fresh air, literally. Walking on my hands to express my pleasure, I made my way to the long line of carts just waiting for me to pick one. Using my newfound muscles that I got from participating in an experimental trial, similar to the one seen on Captain America, I lifted my chosen cart several feet into the air with a small amount of tears falling from my eyes from sheer astonishment at the coolness of the beautiful handlebar of the cart. I then proceeded to gather my chosen groceries with renewed vigor at my successful Captain America experiment and this beautiful store and I am telling you this truthfully, I was sobbing tears of joy the whole time. The cashier even asked why my groceries were soaked and I just couldn't tell him. A small smile conveyed my feelings successfully and I just knew that he understood. This is by far the best experience that I have ever had at a grocery store and I would leave one hundred...

I wish I lived closer to John's Marketplace. I would walk over and shop here just about every day! I remember when the store was just getting started and it's been really fun and interesting to see it grow and continuously improve over the years. 😁 The staff is friendly, polite, welcoming and helpful, and the store has a great variety of foods. They carry a lot in bulk, including forty pound buckets of local honey for a seriously great price! As other reviewers have mentioned, they have a nice health food selection which includes loose herbs. They also have a decent decoration/toy section which includes some D&D miniatures. There are some products I have only found here so I come back time and again for them. and on occasion they carry Member's Mark brand that you normally only find at Sam's Club. The prices on everything overall are good and I love how they treat you like a person. This is certainly my favorite grocery store. It has a few quirks, but that's part...

It is a very small place, but if you look inside, it feels like it has more than bigger stores. It has a bakery with organic pizza, ice-cream, and cookies. I don't think the cake at the bakery is made by them, but it is still good.

Great customer service. I asked for flower and sugar, and right up, they told me the right place. Some of the cashiers are faster than any other store. I've never been in and out like that at Smiths or Walmart. And their ice-cream, HECK YEAH! It is healthy and good. Top notch stuff! You haven't tasted ice-cream if you haven't tasted theirs.

And instead of a Black Friday, they did something different this year called Silver Saturday. Everything in the store was 20%. Prices weren't jacked up, all the stuff was the same quality. They had a huge selection to pick out of that day.

I'd recommend going to this store. They have everything while being so little. I have some images that people may or may not be...
