Family Fare Supermarket — Local services in Boyne City

Family Fare market used to be called Glenn's. We have been going there for years. It's a great market! Well-stocked, well-run, fast check out hardly ever a wait and clean. It's right off the highway and easy to find. I believe exit 282 turn right at the ramp and then right again right away you can't miss it. We stop here and stock up before we go to Lake Louise (also known as Thumb Lake) when we take our Jeep wranglers or snowmobiles (in the winter) for super fun off-road excursions. It's our go-to-market.

Before you shop there make sure and sign up for the family fare club. A lot of these clubs don't make much difference at checkout however this one does. It saved us $46 last time. They have a great breakfast goods section with croissants muffins and all kinds of other yummy things. They have a big produce section with lots of fresh produce. Their meats are excellent also. They carry many sugar-free products including Atkins snacks and sugar-free Breyers ice cream. (If you are watching your blood sugar.) They also carry beer wine and liquor so you don't have to make an extra stop if you need liquor. They also have a section of nine grocery items that could even save you another stop depending on what you need. Even though it's not Glenn's anymore Family Fare has remade this classic landmark and I think it's actually much better than it used to be. Keep up the great work Family Fare! We love you guys....

Of all of the grocery stores we've visited during our travels across the US, this easily tops the list of 'the worst' for more reasons than I care to detail.

In short... The produce, terrible. Literally with rotting items sitting on the shelf. Vegan options, very few. Cleanliness of the store, not great. Expired items on the shelves, abundant. Prices, outrageous. Staff, unengaged and marginal at best.

All of this is an abundantly clear representation of the leadership of SpartaNash - from corporate... Right down to regional and store managers. As always, it starts at the top.. And yet, if you really want to make change, you start local. It's clear from the outside looking in, that local leadership is bidding their time and are anything but committed to change.

Residents of Boyne have been complaining about this store for years with zero change. So they drive to Petoskey to go to Meijer or Walmart instead.

Their mission statement on their website says "... We see a day when our customers say, “I can’t live without them.”" Seems to me, the people of Boyne can't stand to...

Reasonable selection of produce on most days, baked goods and grocery line. Nice, local employees - many from the Glen’s days and a mini “store within a store” Starbucks Coffee ta boot!” But, pricing is wrong here - it’s too high. In general, I try to avoid shopping here because I feel that this store has a captive, older population to serve here in Boyne City. Without competition, the local, older population, with limited financial means and transportation, has no choice but to pay the higher prices here than found in larger, big box grocery stores, in the neighboring communities of Gaylord and Petoskey.
