Conrad's is a great little supermarket. Everyday prices are usually lower than the nearest competitor and it has good weekly specials. Almost always has good friendly service, depending on the employee you deal with. Most are great, even the tired ones who have been there forever.
Conrad's has long outgrown its present building considering the amount of business it conducts. The building is long overdue for some refurbishing due to its age and heavy traffic. The selection of groceries is limited, but still adequate for a low end town like Marion. Aisles are long and narrow. Shelves are always well kept and stocked. Deli is small but has great food. Meat dept. is small but offers the best meats in Marion. Customer service area is extremely cramped. The store still retains its small town grocery model, even though, as I understand, the owners are not active in its day to day operations.
An expansion or remodel would be a vast improvement for this small town grocery. read more
