Everytime I'm coming down John R when I'm working in the area i stop in and even at times, I'll go out of my way to go there from a job. One of the best party stores in the Metro Detroit area.

I can't tell you where I've found a more friendly, helpful store!! I've been shopping there since…read moreI was a kid when it was Ancona's. They know me - and my family by name. Just like Ancona's. Visiting there gives me such a wonderful, nostalgic feeling that stays all week!! They even keep the old lottery tickets on the wall (along with Tony's "Bookie" info!) I love them - and promised them I would only buy my Lotto tickets from them so they'll get a share!! Thanks guys - you're the best!! Definitely 5 STARS!!

From…read moregreeting customers by name to bringing in requested products, they go out of their way to make people feel welcome. I always enjoy stopping in, whether I'm grabbing something specific or just browsing. If you can't find what you're looking for, ask. They'll help you track it down and do it with a smile. The friendly banter, excellent customer service, and personal touch keep me coming back. Support local businesses like this one. They're doing it right.

I've been to several local liquor stores only to be told they don't carry the rum I'm looking for. This place not only said they would order it for me they brought up the different varieties it comes in and asked me if I wanted any additional types or sizes. Their prices are reasonable too. It's a family run business who care about their customers.

I've been going to Merchant's for about 7 years now. They've changed ownership at least once since…read morethen, but the customer service has never seen a decline. Previously, the employees were knowledgeable about beer and wine. Now, what they lack in overall knowledge, they make up for in a desire to try new things and order whatever their customers want. For example, this past weekend I noticed a 4 pack of Goose Island Bourbon County Stout. I've never tried this beer, but have heard good things. The problem was the price - $23.99/4 pack! I asked if they would consider breaking the 4 pack and they did! No problem. On top of that, the guy behind the counter said he would take one home to try so we could compare notes. A strong desire to serve the customer - what else can you ask for?

All the necessities, good service, small aisles, always crowded…read more I go in here sometimes because it's relatively near where I live and, if you just need any of your familiar corporate brand names of liquor, they have a very exhaustive stock. (I don't shop here for beer... as their selection is not great). The prices aren't shocking, but they are notably cheaper than getting liquor in Royal Oak. The people who run this store are no-nonsense, but they're relatively friendly, and they seem to know the people they're serving somewhat well... I take it the same family's been running it for a while. While I was there today, I watched as one of the sellers gave a free ice cream sandwich to a little 3 year old. It's a pretty big convenience store as well, and they have the biggest collection of lotto tickets I've seen in this state. Usually a third of the people in this store are purchasing or playing lotto tickets. The place is always crowded and conversational, almost always a few drunks will be in the mix. If the aisles weren't so damned small, I wouldn't think too much of the crowds, but, you end up in everybody's face and brushing shoulders just trying to get anywhere in the store. I've never had a problem, but it's a little intense. The politics of "looking" and walking by people in Detroit is as complex a sign-system as they come, and being in Vernor Express always makes me very conscious of that fact.

So far, this place is my favorite liquor store in the area. They have a large selection of beer…read moreand wine, as well as a HUGE selection of liquor. There is also a small grocery towards the back with milk, juice, eggs, sandwiches, etc. The staff is also really nice and talkative, which is kind of unusual but definitely welcomed.
