Dot's Market — Local services in Bellbrook

I've been shopping at this store for over 25 years. I absolutely love me some Dot's market. They have the best meat in town (all other posters say the same thing). However, for me, the best thing is that they are locally owned and operated and will go out of their way to help you anyway they can. If you can't find something you can ask the assistant manager, the manager, or even the store owner and they will go out of their way to help. Not point you in the direction but take you to the aisle and pick it off the shelf for you. It's a smaller store (not near the size of a Kroger) so sometimes (rarely) they may not have a product you want but they will bring it in for you.

I had to send him back in with the ignorant cashier coming after him. They all severely lack of communication skills. Do...

This place has a meat department that outshines Kroger or Meijers....and I have done a side by side taste test comparison with friends and family that agrees with me. Also, great for meat bundles. I get one or two about twice a year. So, why 3 stars? The fresh produce is despicable. Great fresh meats and veggies pair well, for kabobs, stews, roasting, searing, broiling, etc. When I see wrinkled peppers, feel soft onions, and gasping at the $6 questionable looking wrapped in plastic wrap Broccoli, I'm left feeling grossed out a bit. On another positive note, Dots usually has a great selection of dry local popular spice blends.
