Global Star Market — Local services in Murfreesboro

I contemplated writing this review because I do not want to complain or post negatively about any small business. Although what I will say is not positive, I want to provide this feedback to help the business improve.

I purchased oloyin beans (honey beans) from this store that were unknowingly infested with weevils. I did not notice until I began seeing many of them in my pantry.
