“Decided to try this grocery store over in Ashford for the first time yesterday. I live in Georgia so It was about a 25 minute drive. I’m really glad that I made the drive. The store was very clean, organized, well lit, and the prices were right. Bought 40 items including beef chicken pork and sausage my bill was only $135! Great quality meat too. Had the pleasure of speaking with two of the nice ladies working there. They were both very nice very helpful and welcomed me to the store. This is the only grocery store that I’ll go to from now on. No more piggly wiggly for me!”

“This store is a short walk from where I live. They are always kind and friendly. They are courteous when answering the phone. And they almost always have what I'm looking for when I'm in the store Update: Nov 27, 2025, They are still a short walk from where I live. They are still just as kind and friendly as when I first posted this a year ago. Keep up the great work, Hiren. Also best darn Breakfast Pizza around. And the Bacon Pizza isn't to bad either.”

“Very well stocked, clean, staff is very friendly. Did not go to the liquor store side because I do not drink alcohol but the gas station side was neat. They have lottery and Keno.”

“Have to give this place a 5 because it is CLEAN all the time and it allows the old timers to hang out and eat breakfast. Breakfast is decent all others things are fried(which is not my jam) but still tasted decent..It has the normal grades of fuel with a bonus 90 octane non ethanol fuel which is HUGE for the Family and I for the boat and dirt bikes as we are paying through headed to Eastpoint,FL...Prices are typical convienance store prices. Decent ingress and egress for cars and trucks. On the corner so that is a plus. Has a decent but small carwash..”
