Conant Caniff Market — Local services in Hamtramck

Let's be honest: this place is wild and different. The shelves are stacked to the top of the ~20 foot ceiling, with products even being stored by the ceiling by hanging them or other means.

This creates a unique shopping experience. The majority of everyday products are within reach of most individuals. But a large amount of liquor and wines occupy the top shelves, along with a variety of other products, including underwear, costumes, tools, cleaning supplies, vape rigs, hookah, hookah supplies, and more. There are so many products here, and some of them so old or so uncommon, it's amazing.

So why is a star missing? Two reasons: There is something to be said about being able to see products in order to buy something. It would be nice to see a catalog of some sort of the wine and liquor they are selling, and a separate catalog of the other unique items they are selling. I'd imagine they could sell a lot more with a simple additional of these product listings. Secondly, unless there are hidden securing lines attached to the ceiling that I didn't see, this place is one big tipping accident away from getting put on YouTube. This is not to suggest the shelving units are poor quality or instable, but instead is just a reality stacking shelving units that high. So what makes the shop cool and unique, is also what makes it feel slightly dangerous.

So if your not claustrophobic, and not deathly afraid of tipping accidents, come check...

I’ll never step foot in this place again, I go in there to get 30-40$ worth of items (even though more then half of the stuff I got had dust on it from sitting on the shelf for god knows how long I still grabbed them) and I tell the cashier “how you doing” and he has the biggest attitude ever, doesn’t acknowledge me, rings up the stuff more then it says on the sticker and when I ask him why he says “don’t worry I can change the prices whenever I want to” and starts going on a rant. I just left all the items and walked out before I crashed out on him. They hire whoever and they treat us good paying customers like garbage. Save your time and go somewhere...

This is kind of an amazing place. They sell just about anything and everything. Cheap California jug wines share shelves with cut-priced fine French, Spanish and Italian vintages. Craft beer. Eclectic imported beer. Beer not overpriced by any stretch of the imagination. Food. Cleaning supplies. Tools. Hardware. Arab candy. Run in and pick up a sandwich to heat up back at work. The staff seem to know a lot of the regulars and greet them...
