To echo Mark B., this place is packed full of stuff that's mostly cheap. I do find that not…read moreeverything is cheaper than you will find at Walmart or even Target for that matter. However, I'm never in the mood to deal with Walmart and only go there when I need to purchase a lot of items. If I just need to pick up a couple of things, then it's so much easier to pop in here to grab them. The store is clean and organized. The employees are friendly. Checking out has always been quick. There's plenty of parking. I've never been in here once when the store was crowded. Basically, it's a pleasant shopping experience and I don't leave here with my stress level through the roof like I do at Walmart. Unfortunately, we do not have Target at River City Marketplace yet. Still, if we did, I can still see myself popping in here for those one or two items before even dealing with Target. This is, without a doubt, one of the nicer Dollar General Stores I have been in.

When we worked near the store, we would even go on break to get some goodies. However, I like coming by myself on the weekends and browsing the isles. There is always something new to find and to take home and cook. I like their selection of frozen meats as well as pastries and appetizer items. They have good dairy items too. There are plenty of shelf stable items like candy, jellies, jams, jarred items and condiments. They do have fresh bread brought in and it is always great. I have found some cool ice creams in the freezer. There is always something new to pique my interest. The staff are always lovely. I would highly recommend a stop in.

It would be very easy to pass by, but if you are to do so, it would certainly be your loss. Amar European Grocery Store is an amazing little grocery store. They have a lot of what you won't find in a supermarket like Publix, Walmart Neighborhood Market or Winn-Dixie (not even in their international food aisle), some true European specialty items. I grabbed quite a few of their hot paprika paste. If you never had it, I definitely would recommend that you try some. I made a potato paprika soup with it and it was wonderful. They also had an interesting selection of sausage. The service here is also amazing. I mean, really amazing. The team here is extremely friendly, polite, helpful and professional. I would definitely recommend here and I give it five stars.

I was excited to learn we have something like this now in Jax because I am a big fan of the chef's…read morestore (forget its exact name) in Charleston, South Carolina. Gordon's is similar but weaker by my opinion in some regards. However, it does have strengths which make it worth a visit. For non-restaurant folks, the biggest draw likely will be the frozen food section which includes a vast variety of frozen seafood and meat to cook and also ready-prepared dishes ranging from mashed taters to whole cakes. Remember, this is restaurant supply, so whole cakes and cheesecakes (which when sliced likely are passed off at many a restaurant as "our chef's own creation" by drizzling some caramel sauce across them). For those who don't know, cheesecakes especially freeze *just fine* and thaw out *just fine* and a frozen one of quality can be just as good as a made-from-scratch one. There were frozen dishes like stuffed bell peppers which interested me but again, restaurant portions so I didn't need like a flat of 20 stuffed peppers and didn't buy them. If I had a half-empty chest freezer and less restraint however I'd easily have scooped up all kinds of stuff like this. Some items are name brands, some their own Gordon brand, some brands I'd not heard of but may be big in food service--I don't know. Beyond the frozen goods, they have things like large quanities of BBQ sauce, tomato paste, and pasta--again, aimed at restaurants. They also have a lot of Monin coffee syrups which is very cool though their prices are a few dollars more than TJ Maxx but the catch is, you never know which Monin syrups any given TJ Maxx will have any given day but here their stock seems stable. While they have all manner of disposable catering goods (foil trays, plastic to-go boxes) they don't have much if any durable table service like restaurant glasses and cups. Nor any kitchen knives it seems. The store in Charleston I mentioned had a great selection of these things so that was disappointing. Service was fine. I didn't need help, my friend has shopped here before and guided me around. The lady at check-out was friendly enough. I'd recommend visiting Gordon's and seeing what they have: look carefully, *a lot* is packed in there, especially the frozen section. If you have a large family and a chest freezer (or two or three) you probably can play your cards right and really save money here.

Every night, employees throw out "tons" of food because it reached or is approaching the expiration date. It's god damn heartbreaking to watch this knowing the food is headed for the dumpster and eventually a landfill, along with the recyclable plastic containers. Perhaps Publix could learn from Winn Dixie - mark down the items to 25% Off instead of charging their usual inflated prices. Then, donate unsold items to a local food bank or homeless shelter. Better yet, let employees take food home but whichever, stop the horrible, unconscionable waste of resources and labor. Publix lacks corporate responsibility to the community and environment. For shame, Publix!
