Lil' Brian's Produce — Local services in Mobile

I use to shop here all the time when the other owner had it. Visited recently and purchased quite a good amount of fruits and vegetables. I was looking at the 10lb bags of potatoes and had to flip the bag over to view the size of the potatoes. They were all turned upside down. I thought that was odd because one of the older guy's came out of the back and started flipping the bags back over so you could not see what they looked like. He looked at me as though he was upset with me for flipping them over. Well long story short, when I was driving home l kept smelling something rotten. By the time l got home, I needed to empty the entire bag to see most of the potatoes were rotten. It made me ill. I had to throw them all in the trash along with the 20lb bag of sweet potatoes. I was so disgusted I didn't even return them as they stunk so bad. Didn't want them back in my vehicle. I will never ever go back there again. They know what they're selling. Not worth...

I don’t see why do they not have a sign upon their entrance that says WHITES ONLY but everywhere you go nowadays you see a sign that reads we have the right to refuse service to anyone.. Visited here for the last time on Saturday, June 29,2022.. One of the associates from the management team was coming from the back of the store to the front. As he came pass 2 black families, he gave a disgusting look at them and didn’t greet either family but surely came pass a white couple as he made his way and said Good Afternoon, How are you guys today( with a smile).. I asked him his name and we do nasty but did give it to me (But I forgot).. There’s also another white lady in there I had to put in check once and told her You’re not going to treat me like a N and she said Well, as u was shaking as signs of Parkinson desease etc. THEY DO NOT WELCOME BLACK PEOPLE & BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD STOP PATRONIZING...

Back a few years ago, there was a competitor down the street called "Lowe's Market". It was smaller, but all the produce was kept super fresh and they got a lot of small local produce brought in. When Lil' Brians came around, they started offering super low sales that could not be denied. Lowe's went out of business, and I have not seen sales that low from Lil' Brians since. Since I don't have a choice, I now go to Lil' Brians, and it's frustrating how careful you need to be with what you grab, as there is a high chance it will be rotten on the bottom. That part sucks, but the prices are good. So for most durable produce, I would go here over any grocery store. But I do still miss the cleaner Lowe's Market, but not many other choices out there, sadly. Staff is friendly enough, the aisles are a little too tight to fit more than one person at a time, but everything...
