Super One Foods — Local services in Biwabik

I went to this location yesterday. I’m super new to the area and needed Aurora garbage bags. I have never bought them before, as where I’m from originally we just buy regular old garbage bags.

I looked up and down isles trying to find them and ended up going to the checkout and asked the lady (Debra) who rang me up where I could find them. With a short tone she asked which town, which to I replied Aurora. She told me they were at the end of the checkout lane we were in, and she asked how many I needed.

Again being new to the area I didn’t know if they came individually or in a pack or how big or small they were… I just knew I needed these bags. So, I told her 5. I grabbed them from the area they were kept and noticed that they came 10 in a package. I then told her that I would only need one.

She’s says you said 5!!

I told her that I was new to the area and I wasn’t aware that they came in a 10 pack.

She ignored me saying that and continued to say she was going to have to call for her manager to void them and he was going to be pissed.

When her manager came over she told him that I said I needed 5 but she had changed her mind.

Needless to say, that experience was terrible. I couldn’t believe how rude she was to me. A whole new area, we know no one and her rudeness was completely uncalled for.

I’d give a 0...

Update August 2025: Berries especially are still trash, it's like they intentionally stack them in such a way that the bottom layer is always smashed. Moldy berries get picked out and the leftover weight suits there until it rots or gets sold. Can't count the number of times I've bought a ½-⅔ full package of strawberries because it's the only one without mold. Avoid if you can. The fresh produce is lacking in quality (be sure to open produce and check for mold, soft spots, standing liquid in packages), the store feels extremely cramped, the lighting induces mild anxiety, their selection and to an extent their prices aren't great due to the size and location...

I guess all said, it's still a decent enough small-town store with friendly staff.

I just wish that checking and pulling bad produce was given literally any of the time that "facing products" is given; it really seems like the store's management can't find anything more productive to spend staffing...

Wow! I am totally impressed by this little gem! My husband and I recently purchased a cabin just a few miles south of Biwabik. I ran into town a couple weeks ago to grab a few groceries and was so thankful Super One was there. I've been spoiled by the big Duluth Super One and doubted the Biwabik branch would be able to compare. Boy, was I wrong! I found everything I needed for our weekend and more and even grabbed a few groceries I know I'd need to start the week off back home. I've stopped buying my groceries in Duluth and hauling them an hour north to our cabin. Now, I simply make a quick trip to Biwabik. I am so thankful...
