    This Dollar store is convenient & carried the items we forgot...butter & oil for cooking. They had inexpensive pool noodles too. Those came in handy since we forgot our pool floats. We ended up buying way more than we needed. I had no idea you could get a bottle of wine for less than $5 but at the Dollar Store, you can! I can't vouch for how great it is. It hasn't been opened yet. This store is full of stuff.... Stuff that you might need & plenty that you prob don't but you might buy anyway. We just kept filling our cart on Friday. Unfortunately, the staff on Friday July 8th is what is lowering my review star rating. The 2 employees (one male stocker that couldn't have looked more miserable) & Gay who was anything but happy brought down the rating. (Approaching a long run on sentence, brace yourself). After going to the self check out to avoid the very grumpy cashier (& still having to get approval to buy my $3ish bottle of wine, I was friendly & said hello & thank you.... She never spoke) we really did not want to go back but we went back (due to lack of close by options) on Sat July 9th and the staff was fantastic! It just shows you that it's not the job, it's the people. On Sat, a kind man, that was stocking shelves, went out of his way to find some Texas souvenirs for me to give to a new friend we'd met. The young girl who was working at the register on Sat was also friendly. She was nothing like the very unfriendly woman (Gay) that didn't even acknowledge us the day before when we checked out. It was as if we weren't even there. We were friendly & she never spoke to us or even made eye contact. No hello, no thank you, no you're welcome when we said thank you.... nothing. She was obviously very unhappy but that attitude reflects poorly on a business. We just wanted to pay & get out of there ASAP on Friday. I wish I had the names of the wonderful employees on Sat. The woman who was stocking shelves that day & the man were so nice. The cashier was great. You would think that the Saturday afternoon crew would be crankier about having to work but they were awesome. The 3 employees that worked on July 9th deserve some acknowledgment! They were 5 stars!

    Arlan's has served Galveston for longer than I have been alive. From it's rebranding of Gerland's…read more26 years ago to its recent buyout by the La Michoacana Meat Market last December, this grocery store has prevented the East End from becoming a food desert, especially for nearby residents who don't have easy vehicle access. Many of the items are more expensive but still comparable to the prices of Kroger, Randall's, and Walmart way out on the West End. The selection of groceries aren't wide but all the usual produce and necessities can be found here. Even though I still opt for Kroger whenever I have a large grocery list, a quick trip here for milk or pasta saves me an additional 20 minutes that I would otherwise have to spend driving. If I can cut down a significant amount of time AND support a locally owned store, then so be it if I'm spending an extra dollar on milk. I recently picked up some discounted protein pasta that was actually cheaper than what I normally pay at Kroger. However, the cucumbers that I also bought during that visit tasted somewhat funky. I personally believe that ratings have a relative component to them which is what grants Arlan's a 3rd star despite their okay prices and occasionally odd-tasting produce. It's a vital part of the East End's community and without it, many of Galveston's residents would be left underserved.

    Arlan's at University and Market. Plenty of parking. Small chain grocery does a pretty good job…read morekeeping up with the times. The building is old, but clean and orderly. Selection is pretty good with decent produce, deli, meat, beer, and wine. Frozen section is adequate. Dairy is weak and expensive. Regardless, everything you might need is available here and butter and eggs are expensive everywhere. Anyway, it's a full service grocery store on the east end and it's pretty decent. You want fancier, it's sixty blocks west at Kroger.

    I have been going to this Farmers Market since it started. I took a break from it when I moved…read moreaway, and I recently started going back to it. I think it is better than ever. It's well organized with a a variety of dedicated staff and vendors. It's a true community experience. The location is spacious and accessible, and the food that I have bought from there is always really good. I have bought baked goods like cookies, breads, bagels, Indian food, and dog treats for my dogs. I've also bought fresh vegetables and handmade soaps. Today I was there on a rainy day, and the vendors were still there and ready for their customers. I was also impressed by the community support because people were still shopping in the rain, with and without umbrellas and raincoats.

This morning I got up bright and early at 630a to help set up tents, tables and chairs, signage for all the vendors to use; met the market mgr Candy (she's awesome) I talked to a lot of people (which I love) and i helped sell Morgan Elementary schools veggies from their garden. I bought some fresh kombucha from 3rd Coast and fresh homemade tamales from, momma's tamales in Houston. It started raining and lightning around 1045a; I needed to leave at 11am so it all worked out. Love volunteering
