Towne & Country Shopping Center — Local services in Grand Rapids

I love this place, there is no better door to get international food at a very reasonable price. They specialize mostly in Mediterranean, specifically Eastern European foods but you can get so much more. A lot of stuff from Germany too. They have chicken gizzards, goat meat, lamb ribs, cevap (small spiced beef and veal meat sausages), a lot of veggies and dairy products you cannot find anywhere else. Their deli section has just been remodelled, I dare you to find a place that has a wife variety of feta cheeses (probably 6 different ones), olives and other antipasti items. Also you can get falafel, samosas, grape leaves, kibbeh... Try it, and but something you have never tried before just to live a little...

Memory lane time...to a time when Town and Country shopping center was bustling and filled with businesses that supported our community. The grocery store, the produce store, multiple restaurants, a pharmacy,a five & dime. There were yearly summer sidewalk sales and no disposable phone stores and no stores that last only a couple months. The parking lot was neat and clean and there was no gang graffiti. It was a nice neighborhood center and I want to believe it still could be but first the owners have to take pride in the neighborhood and actually care about the current state of the is retail center. It's been a sad...

Going to Town and Country is like going to the other side of the world. With all the international food stores it gives you a chance to experience another country with out leaving Grand Rapids. My favorite place is Mediterranean Island where I can get my Middle East food fix and a bit of Germany items also. Having lived in both areas of the world its like going back...
