Gary's Foods 715 1st Avenue South, Mount Vernon, IA 52314

"Smaller store so a little cramped. Decent selection though, priced a little high. Employees are usually friendly and courteous. Plenty of parking (most usually)."

"Oh my goodness I love this store and was so thrilled of their selections. I was purchasing items for our return flight home and some additional produce for my college kid. When walking in my 3 younger kiddos spotted these adorable shopping carts that kept them entertained. Of course you parents know I had to make sure there was something in each cart which actually kept me organized. The checkout process was so lovely and the cashier even took time to tell me a little history of the store and the founder. I didn’t have to bag my own groceries which I’m use to back home. They provided that service and the young gentleman who bagged them kindly escorted me out to my car. That was so helpful so I could make sure these kiddos got in safely. I love this store and even the kind locals who said hello to the kids and I."

"This store has been around forever and it's exactly what you would expect out of a small town grocery store. Small but with very friendly staff and what they do carry is reasonably priced."

"Nice and friendly neighborhood/ community store. Get all your basic stuffs here. And etc. People are amazing here. Convenient stop over."

"Always a great community store, but tonight they showed how great they are, even though a small gesture. I showed up right a 9pm, and instead of telling me they were closed and locking the doors allowed me to grab the one item I needed quick. Great store with outstanding employees!"
