They've started a round-up policy to avoid giving out exact change. This is just the beginning of woke/communism/socialism/dictatorship. When I demanded exact change, they had to get a manager involved, who was offended by my insistance. The cashier and manager had difficulty figuring the exact change. I like their store, but won't do business with automatons. read more

I am a troll from Lansing. I was surprised to see such a variety of offerings and at very good prices compared to where I live. I wished there was a market like that where I live. I beats the chain stores such as Meijer's, Kroger, and Walmart. Way to go Elmer's! read more

I have been going to Elmer's since I was a little girl and my family who lives in Escanaba still shops there. I make a point to stop by and say hello to my good friend Mike whenever I visit my family in Escanaba, and when I do, I am always in awe at the variety of products, the cleanliness of this store. The checkers are always so friendly. It is the best grocery store I have ever been in, hands down. The bakery alone is a reason to shop here! The list goes on and on. They carry everything. Mike also is a big supporter in the community and I know works long hours to make your shopping experience the best possible. Support this family-owned grocery store whenever you are in the area! read more

I love to shop here. The meat is always fresh cut, the fruits and veggies are ripe and fresh as well. The service is amazing and they actually care about you. I have had many good experiences here. One was when my son was a baby and I ran out of formula in the middle of the night and walked there. It was 20 below and I was freezing. I got to the checkout and the end reader was down. I wouldn't be able to buy it. My heart sank. The cashier bagged it up and gave it to me. Took out her wallet and paid for it herself. Second experience was when I just moved in to my first apartment before having kids and I had no car. I had a huge cart full of groceries and couldn't afford the cab so I asked if I could borrow the cart as I lived 6 blocks away. They said that is fine. I literally was aloud to take the cart any time I liked as I always brought it back. read more

They are better than the Walmart here, but their prices went up during the pandemic. They over charge on basic groceries, like milk and eggs. I only go here for their good alcohol and candy selection now. read more

+ Very good meat department especially pork, with nice Seafood sales on Fridays. + Good selection of foods from U.P companies. + Great Salad bar, Olive Bar, Soups, Deli, and Bakery. + In the summer they invite local non-profits to sell Hot Dogs and Brats on Fridays, big community supporters + Sales offered each week and they do an excellent job in promotion. + Almost always have plenty of cashiers and baggers. - Their parking lot. I'm not sure who designed it but it is horrible, they leased or sold TOO much land to nearby bank. - the horizontal aisles don't make it feel like a real grocery store, in my day you ended each aisle in fridge section. There are long half aisles that actually add more wandering. But if you want exercise this is the place to shop. - read more

I live in the metropolitan chicago area and am hard pressed to find a grocery store like this one. Escanaba being a smaller town has a great place to shop! The place is immaculately kept and has great lighting to see the produce which all looked fresh. They have a large selection of beer including craft brews and brews made in the UP. I am a bit of beer person so I love to try new beers! Prices are reasonable too. Check this place out if you need groceries! read more

This was my favorite to shop for groceries for the longest time. They have a newer beer cooler with a limited selection of beers, and a fair wine selection. They are overpriced on tobacco. But all in all it is a nice, clean, half-refurbished store. For better dairy selections you must make multiple stops. read more
