Freshway Market — Local services in Zebulon

This visit was better than the last. I hadn't planned on coming back based on my last visit, but we were on the way for a family cookout. We decided to stop by and pickup some fresh corn on the cob. The produce manager offered to sell it by the bushel when he saw me getting so much. Now if the other gentleman could've been so helpful when I was trying to buy the boneless pork loin on my last trip I would've given a good review then. I'm not sure if he was the meat manager or general/assistant manager. He was a black gentleman that got called up front when I was checking out.

I understand the fear of checks these days but the person giving so much information is usually the one taking a chance. She deserves an apology or I doubt she and friends and family will be back. Thomaston has plenty of places to shop. My wife has family in the area and spent summers with grandparents in Zebulon and expected better treatment for this...

I was pleasantly surprised with the Freshway market. It reminded me of a mom and Pop owned type of grocery store with everybody paying a lot of attention to detail. It was very clean super organized. You can tell that whoever was in charge of produce did a fantastic job of making sure it was freshand good. The proteins looked stellar, and the prices were super friendly.
