ALL OF THESE CODES HAVE BEEN VIOLATED. THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE STORE OWNER LEADS TO CONTINUED POOR HEALTH CONDITIONS FOR MANY WHO DO BUSINESS WITH THIS STORE AND FOR EMPLOYEES.

On one occasion, I walked into this establishment and thought for sure that I smelled bug spray. {I guess they haven't heard of using traps for resolving that sort of thing - managing and resolving issues related to pest control}.

It smells unclean or worse almost all the time. The floors were filthy when I went in. There's dirt and mop buckets out during opening hours, and the counters often smell excessively of bleach.

If it didn't smell of these sorts of things, it often smelled septic or of garbage.

I saw some bugs crawling out of a hole in the corner of a stand once - gnats, ants, centipedes, millipedes, and a mantis. I wondered if a kid studying biology could gather enough bugs for his or her school collection at that one establishment.

I also saw house flies, fruit flies, and box elder bugs.

I thought I saw a rat once, too. When asked what I was looking at by the store manager, I started to answer, and he cut me off yelling after a few words of answer to his rhetorical question with something like: 'Look, if you're not going to buy anything, then get out of my place!'

I was happy to be...

I love PM Jacoys! It is the best store ever! I am SO proud to be the favorite customer! ^w^ Love ya J & J! When you live downtown and the only place to go is RiteAid, it's nice to have a local place that actually treats you nice, have the best customer service in the world, good prices, and make you feel at home and very welcomed! At PM Jacoys they not only know your name, they know your favorite kind of stuff and are very helpful and friendly! Idk if the Inlander knows about this little gem, they should! Best mini mart in Spokane by far! It is a very convenient location and I always leave with a smile on my face from such a great experience! Thank you PM Jacoys for your excellent customer service and fantastic mini store! Yours truly ~ Favorite...

This is a small, quaint little store in downtown Spokane. Jenny and John are from South Korea and recently retired, but their nephew and another family 👪 member bought the store. They are so wonderful to their customers and if you are handicapped and in a motorized wheelchair they will get the groceries you need while you wait at the register. They go out of their way to help many residents living in affordable housing downtown. I'm nearing 70 years old and am adamant about supporting small businesses in my hometown and know the history of PM JACOYS. It's a blessing they are still here...
