We rolled into…read morethe Gurnee, IL location bc our hotel thought we were pixies and gave us shampoo & body wash bottles fit for Tinkerbell.... cute but i need more than just a tiny drop of shampoo!! This Walmart was suspiciously clean and almost too organized, like someone summoned it straight out of a suburban dream. Jaime in electronics was very nice and helpful and the night crew shuffled around w pallets like retail workhorses waiting for dawn. The real win here.... (shhh... its a secret) No 10-cent plastic bag tax (like in Cali)!! Sweet, sweet Midwestern freedom!!! THAT ALONE made us so excited!! Another plus was how empty the store was during business hours... not very much traffic, which was nice!! The parking lot, though... eerily empty!!!!!!!!! The kind of quiet that makes you wonder if the town's residents only come out after sunset. A perfect stop for restocking your mortal supplies before the vampires wake.

I have noticed that the Wal-Mart Supercenters are generally better than a standard Wal-Mart store…read more(as they should be anyway), but I am just starting it. I have visited the Supercenters in Niles, Lake Zurich, Palatine, Waukegan, Wheeling, and this one in Gurnee. My favorite one is the Lake Zurich one followed by the Niles one. I can't remember what I went to purchase at this Supercenter on my recent visit, but the couple of times I have been here, I have found what I went to buy without any problems. Of the parts of the store I went to, I noticed that the store was clean and properly organized. The checkout process was easy. I would return to this store for my shopping needs if I am in the area.

I bought a bakery item, (brownie bites) that had a large $5 sticker on it. There was also a…read morefreshness/expiration? date sticker on it. The date was March 18, I bought it on March 3rd. On March 7, I opened the package and immediately found that there was grey, fuzzy mold on the product. That was when I also discovered that there was another freshness sticker UNDER the March date. That "first" sticker was February 16. This disgusts me. And believe me, it's not the $5 issue, but the deception. AND this is not the first time I have experienced this, at this store. About 4 years ago, I purchased a specialty cheese that had two stickers on it. The section mgr. simply grabbed a new package, marked it "No Charge," handed it to me and took the re-labeled from me. This is not a mistake. This is BAD POLICY. Foods are labeled PERISHABLE for a reason. I will not give Mariano's / #Kroger a third chance. If I could rate this "No Stars" I would.

Coming here the first time to this grocery store in Waukegan it was surprisingly big. It had a lot…read moremore than we were expecting. Lewis Fresh Market certainly isn't one of those cramped little stores. Has a lot of produce and other items. The prices aren't the best but they're pretty comparable to other places. Best thing is the produce because it's all fresh. It's comparable to the Cermak Fresh Markets. There's a lot of Mexican and other Latino stuff in here along with some other countries too. Has quite a lot to go through so you can find many good items. There's a grill to order tacos and tortas. Also there's a hot bar and salad bar. Other popular areas include the bakery where they cut fresh loaves. Has even more produce outside, especially when they have pumpkins in autumn. The prices are okay for being fresh. For sure we could go here again if in the area. It's got a couple locations, including this one on Grand. The produce is considered to be the best stuff.

Something I do at all ethnic grocers. There's no organic vegetables available and there is a popular bakery which I did not patronize. Not a place to drive to but interesting to pick up some Mexican while in the area. I liked my carnitas by the pound & threw the spinach pies & cooked chicken in the freezer for those busy days.

This place is a Jim. The only thing better than the food and the service here other people…read morethemselves that run the place. Friendly family. Getting back to the food the food is fantastic. Come here for it to go lunch or eat their little tables out front. The sandwiches they make are fantastic and then to go food whether it be fresh hot or cold sandwich or some food to take home your refrigerator. It's all great. You'll find anything better anywhere near here. Highly recommended.

They have a huge variety from many nice jewelry pieces, crockery, baked goods, food & dairy products, health items, frozen foods, fresh hot prepared items and a deli counter!

They had a fresh baked salmon Wellington that looked really delicious! I would have purchased it but we weren't going directly home. A very clean, neat and organized store.

Saturday I called and talked to Fabiola the women that works in the department that makes the fresh fruit juices and cut up fruit. She asked me when I could come in I asked her when she would have the juice ready . I told her I would like 3 bottles she said give me 25 minutes and that she would put 3 aside for me. I Went to the store and there in her section she had the 3 juices I reached into my pocket to give her a tip and she said no thank you I love my job here and I'm here to help. I also talked to the manager who could not of been more accommodating and was happy that I was taken care of. The feeling I got is the actually care about their customers being happy and I'm happy their employees are happy as well Thank you Favoila for the fantastic service god bless

They have culturally authentic brands for everything. It is clean and organized. Their butcher does a great job and is friendly and personable with our family as we walk through his area, having conversations with my 2 year old about his chocolate milk selection. AND I spend less there than Walmart or Jewel, for better products. This is what a grocery store should be: quality and personable customer service. Spend all your money here. I've saved about $400 per month in the last 2 months.

I would go so far as to say that it cost almost twice as much as Woodman's. I found the staff to also be incredibly rude, and possibly even downright nasty. I couldn't find the bacon, and I asked one of the employees at the meat counter, who rolled his eyes at me, mumbled something and pointed across the store, then proceeded to walk away and refused to clarify. The ailes are disorganized, with very limited selection. All in all, if you want deals, go to Woodman's or Aldi. Skip Butera.
