D&W Fresh Market — Local services in Kalamazoo

HIDDEN GEM OF A SUSHI CHEF! Its so hard to find really good, affordable sushi, and especially so in kalamazoo. Ive resorted to going to the supermarket. I used to go to meijer, but one day their stock was empty, so i went to the D&W down the street, hoping they had some of the prepackaged like meijer. Imagine my surprise when im sitting there trying to decide what to get because i didnt see my favorite, and someone pops up from behind the cooler and asks me what i want made! The chefs come in first thing in the morning to start getting things ready, and the cooler full. And its SOO TASTY! I had a spicy crunch roll, which thry called a french roll. Large pieces stuffed with cucumber, crab, avocado, and topped with shredded crab, spicy sauce, sushi sauce, and a generous helping of crispy fried onions. Better than the typical breading crumbs. But they will make anything you want and still keep the cooler stocked full of fresh gzoya, california rolls, tuna, salmon, and several types of sashimi and rolls. Better than any buffet, or restraunt ive been to in a long time. Not since i lived in FL, and found a Publix with the same type of sushi bar hidden inside. You have GOT to try it! Guarantee you wont have better at the price, which is typical of your everyday sushi bar prices. Store was very clean, well laid out, and had fair prices on other...

In the '90s, if you said you shopped at D&W, It was like, wow! I was a kid, that was my impression of it.

Today it has the same great quality. While it's gone corporate, it has still retained much of its style and warm friendly vibe within the neighborhood. But what's missing now are workers.

Every time I'm in there, only one lane is open. You can choose to go to self-checkout. But if you have alcohol, you need to wait minutes before somebody attends to the blinking light indicating an ID must be checked. And this is not because people are lazy; it's is because they're too thinner out. The manager who always wears a baseball cap (very friendly guy) is always running between all sorts of it responsibilities across the store, when he should just be behind the counter or back in the office handling whatever. I bet he stays late just to catch up on the things he needed to do while he was there.

If they could correct this one thing, it would be the best grocery store in the city again.

So, to corporate headquarters, hire more workers or you're going to lose more business. It's already night and day between what it was like before your acquisition. Do...

This store is amazing for not being a "superstore". EVERYTHING was nice, neat, clean, orderly, and well stocked. I honestly did not find what I went there for...but that was okay because it was an item that they didn't even carry. Not from poor inventory or not stocking. They have so many great deals, great sales, and amazing looking looking dishes at good prices. From their fully prepared and cooked, to just prepared food to take home and cook, to bakery goods. I'm use to shopping at "Our Family" brand stores, and this is certainly the best one out of about 15 that I have been to. And open until midnight too, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. This probably sounds as if I am biased, as in an employee or someone that was paid to write good reviews. It was just my first time there, and first time to go through the entire store. Hoping to continue shopping there regularly, I WILL(as I always do) edit my review if any of these things end up not holding up, or any problems become an issue that I was previously unaware of. Otherwise, they certainly have my...
