The so called 'Gas' program at Kroger (specifically Imlay City) is ridiculous!…read moreI retired 5 years ago and everyone said to sign up for Kroger so I can get a lot of money off of Gas. I did, but have never, ever gotten a penny off. This program is not working. There is always an excuse. Today, at check out the lady said I should use it now since it is close to the end of the month. There were signs on every pump saying you could only get Premium. I asked the 'person' behind the glass if they could do something about my points. The person, very rudely stated "Not my Problem". I said, ok, but where was the nearest other Kroger? Again.."Not my Problem". The last time I tried to use the points, it took my card but gave no discount. I asked why and they said, to go into the store and ask them. I did and they said that could only be handled out at the pumps. I can use it if I am in another town, like Algonac but not in Imlay City, the area that I live in. Very frustrating.

The gigantic cow grabbed our attention, but the smell possessed us to pull over…read more The pulled pork was smoky and sweet, and when you throw on the Smokey Joe sauce it's pure bliss. All the French fries are made in front of you with real potatoes! Worth the wait! Sides were delicious as well. Go in the store for a real treat - special meats, sauces, cheeses, and liquor all begging to go home with you.

Tons of smoked meat and great butcher counter and deli. The real rockstar of the show is the people…read moreoutside serving out BBQ and smoked meats and sides to choose from. I can only imagine how hot it is cooking on a grill and deep frying French fries outdoors. There could be some in that truck but no idea... it was my first time going and grabbed some jerky and smoked maple ham...of course we stopped and I got some tacos and the BF some smoked sausage from the BBQ pit and ate outside..Service was fast and friendly. After I wanted to go inside to use the bathroom and more importantly wash my hands after eating sticky sauced tacos. I went back inside and asked a lady working the meat counter where their bathroom was. She told me they don't have a public restroom and that there's port a potties outside. And I was like really? What do you guys do in the winter and she said customers had to use the port a potties. That's a bull crap move? So they got bumped off a star and I won't be back until summer. I went inside the one port a potties outside and it had flies in it and poop on the seat. Let's just say we stopped at the first McDonalds we passed on the way home...

Thanks to the new owners and staff, this place is great. There's always an army of people…read morerestocking, moving, and rotating the stock nowadays. I doubt the previous owners ever rotated their stock in the ~20 years they owned the place. Citizens of Almont: You can start shopping at the Almont Foodcenter again. It doesn't suck anymore. EDIT: *sigh* never mind. They closed down. That sucks.

The grocery selection is about what you'd expect from a small town store. The prices are ok and…read moreagain in line with what you'd expect. My only complaint is that at least 30% of the time that I go here (which is usually only when I need something in a pinch), the cashier I choose is the one chewing bubblegum and talking to everyone except the customer she's waiting on. I don't expect great service at a grocery store, but I also don't really want to hear how much you hate your job, how much it sucks having to be at work right now, etc., etc. Update 5/2007: The store is now under new ownership and has improved considerably. The new owner is always there when I stop and is very eager to hear feedback and help customers.

This might be the cutest little market in Michigan. Very rustic but personable. They have the…read morebasic groceries and the guy at the counter was absolutely welcoming and helpful. They have pizzas and sandwiches available for lunch and tables outside where you can rest and enjoy. They even have a small wine room as well. Small basic liquor sold here as well I walked away really pleased. Been there a long time and I hope it stays!

This local grocery store is exactly what is named. No frills. Had a great selection of groceries…read more Produce was fresh and had a nice variety. Not exotic items, but good basics...apples, oranges, bananas, assorted vegetables, salad, etc. Had name brand dry grocery items as well as off- brand options. They carry organic eggs, peanut butter, plant-based milks, vegan options, etc for the health-conscious. Cashier was friendly and shelves were well stocked. We were able to get everything we needed for our week-long camping trip. Easy in, easy out with no wait. Bring your own bags or buy them at the checkout.

I even bought some…read moregreat, frozen P.C. puff pastry to make some desserts over the fire at our campsite in the Pinery. The prices are very competitive with the other grocery in town, and plus, they take PC and Optiumum points too. Very friendly check-out people had no problem about altering my bill when I realized that I had forgotten the 3 bags of ice for our coolers. A nice, local and friendly place. The advertisements of local notices on their corkboard as you exit testifies to the true home-like nature of this place. I even bought kimchi there.

We actually felt like we were in a walking dead show since there was maybe three other customers in the whole store. There were more employees than customers by far!

Really nice Meijer with some of the best produce I've ever seen!…read more Since I've been coming up this way to start at our second home, there was never a Meijer nearby. Now that there is, this one is fantastic for anything you're looking for! In particular, they have a really good produce section. Some of the biggest onions and yellowest bananas that I've ever seen! The aisles with snacks, chips, meat, beverage, dairy, and toiletries are full too (the usual things you run out of while you're up here).

There were meats and multitudes of fruits and veggies straight from the farm. Too bad it's well over an hour drive from my home, otherwise I'd be here at least weekly. PROS: Some of the best prices I've seen on bacon, ham, sausages, various cheese, lunch meat, bulk flours and popcorn kernels. There are tremendous discounts on other packaged foods close to expiration date. Nice selection of smaller brand goods throughout entire store. Great candy selection, including hard to find German black licorice ropes rolled into little wheels. Lots of other licorice flavors too. Local milk in big glass jars. Log rolls of fresh butter. Various local honey, jellies, and jams. Homemade peanut butter ground in-house. Homemade pickles in white tubs. 50 pound sacks of Michigan white potatoes. Jabba the Hut sized hubbard squash. Lots of hidden deals within the frozen food section...six New York bagels @ $3.99...five pounds of pepper-jack breaded chicken breast chunks at $10.99. A special shout-out to the BEST in-store bakery I've ever seen. Most everything is made from scratch; breads, fruit pies, cream pies, fried hand pies in wax paper sleeves, various cookies, donuts, etc. They have the BEST cinnamon rolls and pecan sticky buns on this Earth (see pics). These are worth the drive alone. Note the ingredients are simple with King Arthur flour as the base. Great prices too. One of the best deli hot food counters I've ever seen. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravies, various hot vegetables, etc. Great prices. Looks like grandma made it all. In addition to the deli counter, there is a separate in-store cafeteria selling great lunch style foods like Reuban sandwiches, hamburgers, chicken fingers, fries, soups, etc. They cooked my hamburger in a cast iron pan on an old iron stove. Delicious! Great price too. The staff were extremely polite, helpful, and pleasant. Love the old fashioned check-out counters. They hand bag everything too. CONS: Too far from my home. Cramped aisles. Like any grocery store, not all the prices can compete with Wal-Mart. SUMMARY: Need a break from urban attitude? This is a no-brainer choice. Feels like walking back in time when people were nicer and food was better. Load up and drive out to the country, pretend it's a mini-vacation.
