We were departing the glorious and history-rich town of Clarion, PA when we were in the search of…read morean establishment with quirks that fulfilled our desires. After searching endless hours for a open business in Clarion, we surrendered our souls and drove elsewhere. We soon approached Knox where we discovered an old chum of ours, Tom. He opened this modest, yet tidy little grocery store called Tom's Riverside, and he welcomed us inside to show us his edible slime and the largest T-shirt collection We've ever seen. After the lengthy wait for the one employee to finish cleaning the lavatories, we hopped back in the old Chrysler to later hit 80. Impressive inventory, and you can't forget about their extra baked goods section!

Wow. That's really all I can say! Whether you need a cold 6 pack, your prescription or opening a…read morebank account, this place has it all! They have the areas largest variety of barbecue sauces and shampoo! Too bad the facilities were being cleaned because I was ready to see what services it would've had! This place really is a diamond in the rough. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I will be back again and again!

We'd been hearing about the son AJ's dive in to raising grass-fed beef. It's magnificent. We grab two packages of filet mignon on the way out of town Monday. Cooked Tuesday for dinner. Cast iron pan lightly seared with olive oil, salt and pepper. That's all it needed. Melt in your mouth delicious. I have a client who gives me a Ruths Chris gift certificate every Christmas, so I am pretty familiar with their menu. It's a good meal. Honestly, they use so much butter I feel I taste more butter than beef. AJ's grass fed beef tastes like beef. I had about 3 ounces leftover and sliced it, warmed it just a bit and had it with a spinach salad today. So good. There's plenty of other unique and quality grocery items on the shelves that I doubt you'll find in Giant Eagle or Riverside. Very nice.

Recent changes to this local grocery has severely impacted customer service and quality. The store…read morechanged its coupons from stamps to electronic. The electronic does not work and when asked to assist the store manager was less than helpful made me wait 15 minutes and acted like the failure of the system was my fault. Also since putting hardware in the store there have been lay offs of baggers and the grocery portion has declined noticeably in the produce section and bakery. Due to poor customer service I will no longer be supporting this establishment.

Whoo-hoo! The Franklin grocery store survived! Sander's…read moreMarkets is a grocery store that has a few different owners throughout the decades. This grocery store is Franklin's closest and a few years ago, prior to the pandemic, I was concerned if it would survive at all. The shelves were mostly empty, the selection was sparse, and if I had seen a tumbleweed I wouldn't have been surprised. Then Sander's took over ownership and the store looks so much better! Many aspects are the same - the decor hasn't changed in decades with the aisles named after Franklin streets, the same look and feel except no more cute elements like the model train that circled above people's heads or the rain sound effects when the misters over the produce turned on. That's fine as it was simply fluff. What's more important is they have a great selection of all food once more from fresh produce to meat and they have great customer service. I was searching for blueberries and asked a couple of employees if they knew if they had any. The one gentleman checked the back and returned telling me that the blueberries weren't put on the shelf because they were poor quality. I appreciated that he took the time to look, that he gave me a transparent answer when he returned, and demonstrated that the store cares about quality. It was great seeing that!

Just go there and enjoy your surroundings. You won't be sorry.

Their different flavored things are truly creative. The place itself is always clean and the service is always top notch.

The store is stocked nicely too for any last minute things you may need, and they have a nice small selection of very good baked items. The deli is nicely equipped, too, for any lunch meat and cheese you would want. There is also a selection of homemade frozen meals, etc..

Maybe it was the time of year, but this was some slammin' slab slices. Also have some great snacks and they carry Suhey peppers which are great in a lot of ways (especially added to warm baked beans as a bowl topping). They sell Suhey at Wegman's but of course there aren't any nearby me so this was a great find. The "beef sticks" aren't anything special, but it was good. Chicken breasts we bought cooked up perfectly. Love to see this kind of place thriving, too. Customers were regulars and loved the place. Staff was friendly and put up with my jokes. Great place! Come visit. They also sell "Blues Hog" Barbecue sauce. Tasty, but needed to be applied to a cooking meet and thus are a little runny -- for BBQin' not dippin' really -- but the honey mustard was good on some KFC chicken tenders.
