Grocery Stores near Central City, IA

“Clean; customer service is wonderful: friendly, smiling, and helpful.While I was there one day and a customer used a cuss word at the front of the store. The customer said it loud enough I heard them (quite clear and loud) while at the back of the store. One of the employees approached the customer and politely asked the customer to leave their swearing for outside of the store property.I LIKED THIS, GOOD JOB, there is no reason for customers to have a foul mouth in any public place, stores or anywhere else. IMHO, it takes more thought, common sense, demonstrates more care for those around you, and shows you've been raised to have manners when one uses clean language, AND you're thought of better for doing so.Back to the store:It's well stocked - not overly stocked = the store doesn't have products falling off the shelves, nor do they have it laying on the floors waiting to be shelved, nor sitting there because there's no room on the shelves. So, customers can move through the store aisles without banging into boxes, or dragging products off the shelves and around the floors.Carts are clean, roll without pulling to one side or another, and they don't make appalling noises! All of which, to me, add up to having exceptional customer service.”

“The family who owns this store are great people! They always have time for their customers, and they work very hard. They also have hired people who share their kindness, courtesy, and high standards of customer service. Central City has a real treasure.”

“You've got to check this place out!! Under new ownership, so all the things you loved before (ahem--cinnamon rolls!! Knights sweetcorn/tomatoes, Edgewood Locker etc) plus lots of new things. They have delicious hot homemade soup. So far I've had the Cheesy Broccoli (better than the best you've had), Lasagna (fantastic, with cheese tortellini), and I missed out on their Cheesy Potato with Beef sausage. They also have some packaged up fresh in their cooler so you can take some home for a quick easy supper! But grab it when you see it cuz it goes fast! There's grab and go sandwiches and a panini now too, and cookies. They keep the shelves stocked with supplies you might need around the house, and a variety of grocery items. I've been there a handful of times since they opened, and everyone always walks out of there with a smile. The new owners are so nice and friendly!! They keep the coffee fresh and hot too. Neighborhood kids seem to enjoy stopping in to look around and check out the new stuff, or share their news about school/sports whatever. Great small town local business!!”

“Coggon Market provided us with catering services for our wedding reception. We can't say enough good things about the service they provided and the quality of food!We had to postpone our original wedding date due to the Corona Virus, but they were more than willing to work with us to reschedule. They traveled almost an hour to our reception site, arriving early to make sure everything was set up and the food was heated, and served the food in a safe manner amidst the pandemic. Not only was the quality of food amazing, but the portion sizes were very generous. We had quite a bit of leftover food but they provided containers for those leftovers as well as packed them all up for us.The prices for the catering services they provided us were extremely reasonable. The meal came with additional sides, tableware, and two drinks. They do charge a travel fee, but compared to other travel fees it was the most affordable. We also paid a little extra to have them stay and serve the food for us, and it was one of the best decisions we made. We would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of catering services!”
