Community Markets

"Clean store, well stocked with a decent variety. Employees are very friendly. I get my groceries here every time I go camping down the street."

"We don't come to Community Markets very often. However, yesterday's experience inspires me to keep coming back. My son is 29, autistic, and wherever we go...we probably won't go unnoticed. We were approaching the checkout, when my son noticed a fresh copy of a magazine featuring his favorite, Elton John: "But Mom! But Mom! Elton John, Elton John....Rocket Maaaaan!" Do you know the words to Rocket Man? "And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh, no, no, no I'm a rocket man Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone." We were obviously not leaving the store without him. I plunked down our items on the conveyor, mentally adding Elton to our bill. I could not say no. "He is seriously one of my favorite customers. I'm not even kidding," the cashier said of my son. Hearing her words, my son exclaimed, "Oh, HI Tommie! Oh, HI Tommie!" He had caught a glimpse of her nametag. She rung us up, bagged the magazine, and placed it right into his ready hands. For those of you who don't understand what it feels like to be very different, this is how you do community. My son's face beamed. He was seen. He was heard. He lit up like a Christmas tree. We could use more days like this. More Tommies. Kudos to this grocery for putting the "community" in Community Markets. Thank you for making 2 people feel very happy, and accepted, and not so alone in this world."

"I have found out that anytime after 7 pm and before 9 pm (closing) is a good time to get grocery shopping done here without alot of people or feeling rushed. Most produce is fresh, though, there isn't a variety of different produce. Quite a few items are overpriced. Store brands are a little cheaper. Since I am a veteran, I receive a percentage off on my grocery bill, whereas, no other grocery market in the local area offers that type of discount. I do notice that some items will be out of stock on shelves. Expiration dates are changed for meats and dairy. The checkout employees are always very friendly and courteous. Overall, for me, it's always a very good experience without feeling rushed."

"Best meat in the county, hard to find items are found here. The steaks are cuts just right, hamburger is fresh and the pork chops are decent. They're helpful and have great customer service skills."

"I shop Community Market E Sandusky Ave frequently. I feel they have the BEST, Freshest, and most price value meat in our area. I greatly appreciate their Tuesday is SENIOR CITIZEN DAY with 5% Savings on total purchase, Thursday PRODUCE SPECIAL VALUE DAY and of course the friendly, courteous and helpful employees."
