I went here with my brother Stefan and honestly, a much better experience than I once thought. We traveled up and down the aisles and we would shop to our conjoined heart's content. The deli there has some absolutely scrumptious meat pies that remind me of my old days living in Rotherhithe, England. The Old World Cheese department is absolutely phenomenal, when I would visit Marclesfield-Renaldsby we would sample the cheeses they had to offer at the Coborn's a hop skip away from Brickelwhyte Abbey, Stefan was always such a big fan of the Charcuterie boards they would build up, and the Coborn's here in America has fantastic Charcuterie boards as well, absolutely jolly. When we checked out there was a short little man with a big round chin and tiny cokebottle glasses wearing what I assume to be a relatively low thread-count vest with a tiny little crooked name tag shuffled over to his conveyor and confirmed our transactions. He would oft give us riddles that reminded us of "The Times", though when I tw'once returned we were to found that the little creature of what must have been Danish descent had not worked there in over fifty...

The store is immaculate in how clean it is, and I was greeted with a hearty and chipper “Hello!” from the gentleman employee who saw me walk in. The prices are very reasonable if not straight up better than the other places in town. For example, Arizona teas at Coborn’s were being sold for $0.89 while the Dollar Tree up the road was selling the same thing for $1.22. Just one example of some genuinely great deals. I also greatly appreciate the store making down produce that is being cycled out or close to their shelf life, as not only can that cut down on food waste, but it also lets the customer benefit from a lower price. I was able to get a shaker of Cajun seasoning, some cereal, and some bakery cookies for 50-75% off. I have yet to see how their online ordering and grocery pickup works, but I’ll have to...
Read morePrices have went way up. Sad watching a single cookie go from 1.99 to 2.49. Allergy pills going from 9.99 to 14.99. Used to spend quite a bit there but now end up going to Walmart. Deli workers can't seem to clean anything and the island near it is hardly stocked with whatever bowl is on sale. Liquor/Little Dukes seems to get ran by one person at night, not enough people. Maybe if they paid more, they could hire some others. I have to constantly check dates when shopping because too many times I've grabbed products that have either been almost expired or 7+ days expired. Guess that's what you get when they don't rotate while stocking shelves.
Will I still shop here? Yes, it's just...
