Pat’s Foods

"I understand the concept of convenience, but it baffles me why anyone would shop at any Pat's Foods. They bought up every small grocery store in Michigans Upper Peninsula, and are now actively price gouging in a community near you! Predatory business practices, primarily preying on the 'loyal to local' types, the fact that the area is relatively remote, the region's high elderly population, and the prevalence of substance abuse in this area. It isn't a coincidence that the alcohol selection is literally the only thing that they've ever made 'improvements' on. The prices are unjustifiably absurd, even after considering what I mentioned above. Often TWICE what you'd pay at, say, Walmart or Aldi's. I'd absolutely love to see their books. Their profit margins must be undoubtedly astronomical. I would love to see a mass boycott of all Pat's locations. Stop thinking of them of 'your friendly local grocer' and start seeing them for what they are, with their scummy business model."

"We had some bad experiences with two things we have bought in the past month and this time it’s with eggs. The other one was white rice that I bought a month ago at the same store in Norway mi on Main Street.. I only shop there unless I have to otherwise I’d be avoiding it cuz everything is literally overpriced then any other store in the area. They don’t rotate the foods either. We had moldy cheese once year ago. Either your coolers aren’t working or your stuff simply not doing there jobs. The eggs say best by Jan 08th 2024. We bought them last week now tell me why you sell digesting eggs?"

"4 years ago, I gave 3 stars with this review: I've found that the quality at Pat's has suffered since the change in ownership from Ebeling's. I no longer buy meat there because of the noticeable decline. I also find that staples in my household are no longer stocked there, and inferior products I might consider substituting for convenience's sake are often outdated on the shelves. Disappointing. Now, I've downgraded to only 1 star, and that's being generous. The store is messy, dirty, and cluttered. The produce is sparse, and what's there is way past prime. Dairy is past the "use by" date more times than not. Prices are outrageously high, even for these times! What used to be a great neighborhood supermarket when it was Ebeling's now seems to be a ghetto stop for alcohol and cigarettes."

"Love to cook. Daily visits to Pat’ food. No complaints until new management. Prices are SKY HIGH!! Things I always bought are over $1.00 or more expensive. Great quality but can’t afford to shop there anymore. Meat was always cheaper than Walmart but now the same. It’s a shame because if it doesn’t change Ald’s will put them under. Great employees love them all but also complain the Manager is not so nice. We are a small town and you can expect to charge prices like Florida or other large communities we are faithful small town"

"Love this local grocery store. They have the best deli around, I think. Everything(including the produce & meats) is always fresh and the employees are friendly. Only reason to give 4 stars is because the prices can be a bit higher here. But it's convenience makes up for that!!"
