I only go there if I'm in a pinch and need something quick. They have the basic small town grocery items that any other store has but in my opinion some items are just ridiculously priced. I Have not been to impressed with ANY products from the "fresh" meat section. I can buy the same amount by weight of one meat product at Pat's the go to another fresh 'meat market"....(intentionally not inserting other markets name)....and get the same product for cheaper and it seems better quality and usually more juicy, tender and just overall better. Dont take what I wrote to heart. Im no grocer evaluation professional, I'm sure there are many people who would disagree. Just my personal opinion.

Read moreWe have lived here in Freeland for over 35 years. For those that complain that prices are higher than Walmart or Kroger, this is a family owned - not a corporate - store.

Went through Self Check out where this older gentleman stood over my whole process and asked did I scan my water which I stated yes then I proceeded to continue with my check out and he had the audacity to tell me I did not scan the item which clearly showed on the screen. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind so I left the store and called the store and asked for the manager and spoke to her and she said he was one of their best employees. The way this man was hovering over me was so offensive it makes me sick. Shopping while being a person of color. I run a business and I would never have a customer experience how I felt today and the defense of the store manager makes me sick. They need to be ashamed of their behavior. Utterly appalling. If I could give them a 0...
