Market on the Green — Local services in Toledo

I really didn't want to like this place because of its affiliation with Promedica and their green light overtaking of downtown. I have to say, in a pinch it will do if you forget a staple item on your way home.

It won't have unique items and while I think originally it was serving that when it first opened, it's kind of melted into a sad resemblance of Seaway Market which is about a mile or so away. There was a food desert downtown where it was difficult to find anything grocery wise except for the afore mentioned market, but I'm a little disappointed in how over the years Market on the Green has catered less to the audience that would enjoy it (the Old West End and downtown workers) and become a place to buy run of the mill items at not so incentivized prices.

I'd like to see them increase their produce section and meat section and get rid of so much processed foods and frozen junk food you can buy anywhere. Understandably, any time I do visit it is a ghost town so I imagine produce would turn faster than it could sell and that might be why they decreased their produce section.

In benefits I'd say it has a good local beer and variety beer section if you're looking for something fast and close to downtown to pick up, and they do have some sort of program where you get cash back for spending so much money, but I do not think it applies to any alcohol you purchase, just other groceries. It stays as a credit until your next visit.

If this place did some outreach with the neighborhoods and reminded them that they are there, found out what shoppers really want close to home, had presence where security is actually patrolling and watching people parking instead of just standing inside, I think they could turn around and be a great...

A recent grad of the free STNA program; I will say, my teacher Mary Bergen was wonderful! However, the director of the program and her croanies denied me access to the lab and the equipment before my STNA state test after our class had been told by Mary that we would be able to use the lab and the equipment before our test anytime the Promedica grocery store downstairs was open. There were no hours posted visibly anywhere that stated lab or classroom hours and we were never given any notification or documentation of times otherwise. I was kicked out (by security! ) at 6:30 p.m while the promedica store below was open until 9 p.m. Cindy told me that the STNA lab had different hours than that of the market located downstairs, even though the entire class had been told by Mary the complete opposite of that. I find it completely absurd and incredulous that they would deny a student the opportunity to learn and succeed, which is exactly what they have accomplished. It also shows incompetency in their work, and also a general lack of caring about what it is that they fundamentally do, or rather should be doing. I'm a very dissatisfied graduate, they don't really seem like they care about students, and they were extremely confrontational with me for trying to learn. I will be taking the test in 2 days, hopefully I pass, but if I don't, the program will pay for me to take the test again. It seems that they're willing to pay out money unnecessarily, rather than use their classroom for its intended purposes. But also, the course is free so I guess you get what...

I’m extremely disappointed by the pricing and poor quality of goods at this store, especially considering its location in the heart of a food desert. Charging $7 for a single pound of ground beef is unacceptable and indicative of price gouging. For many in this area, this store is one of the few—if not the only—accessible options for groceries and essentials. That reality is being exploited.

It’s not just the prices that are an issue. The quality and selection of fruits and vegetables are subpar, making it even harder for residents to maintain a healthy lifestyle. There is an abundance of wine, beer, and spirits, but hardly any fruits or vegetables. ProMedica has the financial resources and influence to do better for the community. The current pricing model and lack of care for quality sends a clear message: profit is being prioritized over people.

In areas where access is limited, affordability and quality should be a priority, not an afterthought. This is a missed opportunity to serve and uplift...
