Supervalu — Local services in Douglas

It's OK but most people that live in the area have to travel to south of Holland to shop at Aldi or north of South Haven to shop at Walmart. Typically, in under populated and / or low income areas, a Dollar General is present. Dollar General is a multi-million dollar corporation and uses impeccable strategy when picking locations, all over the country. In any such, much like this one, Dollar General pricing is competitive but not always cheap when one considers per ounce or unit price (unique offerings notwithstanding). Still, DG knows that gas cost, travelling to Holland or South Haven will play into costs and certainly, convenience. It's a profitable game. Supervalu has changed owners / names many times over decades past. Throughout these times, prices are typically high. I am sure that most people (residents) understand that a private, locally owned grocery store certainly needs to stay in business. Still, after all of the decades in business, perhaps this much needed (mostly non-discretionary outpost) could have a better deli or more sales or something like a more enticing atmosphere. It's sad that they are unwilling to renovate to any comparable degree to groceries in similar locations. Locals KNOW that this store makes a killer sales in the summer (HUGE tourist area).

It would only behoove the owners of this place to realize the importance of upgrading but more importantly, offering locals better pricing deals in the off seasons. Chucking outdated stuff is standard for...

Yes, there are times during the peak tourist times that items can be out of stock, etc... This is not a corporate supermarket, but a family owned institution. 95% of the time, I can find what I need here to prepare a meal for friends and family. Produce quality is very good with a lot of locally-grown items. Yes, prices are higher...this is not a corporate store buying in huge quantities so that they can cut prices. I love being able to shop locally for...

This is a quaint little grocery store that doesn't exist in to many places anymore. The bigger stores like meijers and Walmart are putting a lot of these "old "hardings"like stores out of buisness. So they carry items that you won't find at walmart and meijers. I found some really good coffee creamer that is local real milk and cream from local cow farms. Makes for a much more delicious cup of coffee. I like there little deli. They make those chicken crispitos and walmart and meijers don't have those eiether. This store is pricey but it has to be to compete. And considering its the only store in douglas and saugatuk and not another...
