Prices were absolutely sky high. 8.99 for the same size heavy cream I buy elsewhere for 4.79-5.29. This pricing was pretty much the same for most staple items I looked at.

Whenever I shop here everyone is so helpful. Their products are of the best quality and I highly recommend Al's Supermarket.

My recent shopping experience at Al's Supermarket on Franklin St was generally satisfactory, but it did have its ups and downs.The store's pricing strategy was a significant downside. Certain items, like a bag of frozen veggies costing nearly $5, were noticeably more expensive compared to typical grocery store prices. While Al's Supermarket does run reasonable specials, their full-price items seem to be priced above the norm. For the budget-conscious shopper, this could be a deterrent.However, the supermarket makes up for its high prices with excellent customer service. Unlike some larger retailers in the area that primarily rely on self-checkout systems, Al's Supermarket boasts a generous number of helpful cashiers and baggers, ensuring a smooth and pleasant checkout experience. Yet, for those who prefer the convenience, self-checkout options are also available.The store's deli and bakery sections are worth a special mention. Their offerings are so delectable that I would definitely make a special trip just for them. However, when it comes to everyday grocery needs, I find myself gravitating towards other, more affordable options.

Al's has products nobody else has. I will give them that. The stores are always very well maintained, stocked etc. The meat at Al's is second to none in the area, and it's a well known fact. The deli and bakery options of homemade sandwiches such as the gyro sandwich, dips, side dishes dishes loaded baked potato salad, pasta like teriyaki chicken and much more. The downside is that you will be paying for all this extra(ness). And it will not be limited to those items. Seemingly everything in the store is marked up, to the top floor. For example, Dean's 12 pk. of ice cream sandwiches is 6.99. While the 24pk. is 16.99. I'm thinking what am I missing here? First off, the same quality 12pk. of the same item at Walmart is 2.99. But let's say I'm not a Walmart shopper. Isn't more quantity supposed to drop the price? Not nearly triple it? That's not typical, but the highway prices are. If it's worth it that will depend on the individual shopper. I'm still there, so evidently my opinion is yup.

I quite liked this little grocery store. I'm not from the area, so I was unfamiliar to this grocery chain. It kind of reminded me of a Kroger or Martin's Supermarket. I'm sure I'll return for future purchases if I'm out that way.

We needed snacks and trash bags. They were open so we stopped. We were on a vacation but they were clean and easily shopped as well as friendly and kind.

Love their meat and the deli. I think they are the best in LaPorte. Some things are overpriced, but you're dealing with a mom and pop operation, and they end up paying more for their products than the big box stores.

Great selection of food but their prices are ridiculously high in many cases. I can go one mile down the road to other grocery stores and pay about 20% less

Very poor experience at the deli. Dont bother with special party orders. You will not be happy with the outcome. They may try to cancel you on the same day you are to have your party. This was the Franklin street Michigan City store.

If I could recall the names of the individuals who assisted me when I had an emergency disappearance of my purse, they would get a standing ovation here. Much time has passed, but I have not forgotten how the security manager scrubbed through every second of the video, watching over and over again, slowing it down and and analyzing to conclude that I had, in fact, not left my purse on a shopping cart shelf or in the store anywhere. The good-natured way in which he went about it made the experience actually kind of charming. Thanks to him and to the woman who attended to me on the telephone, keeping things calm and moving forward. Oh, and the grocery store. Love that place!

I have gone to Al's in MC since I was A little child and he opened his first store on Michigan St. It was as always... Great people, great variety and quality of products, great service, AND a picture of "THE" Al Pontius!! I love traveling to MC and shopping at Al's!

I haven't been in this store in a couple years as I now live some distance away. I was highly impressed by the recent changes to the store! Tried some chicken tenders from the deli and they were fantastic. Prices seem very reasonable and I would definitely shop here more often if I lived closer.
