“Consistently one of my favorite markets! Well stocked on everything from meat and seafood, drinks, snacks, pantry staples, to kitchenware, utensils, traditional and cultural decor, and appliances like hot pots or charcoal grills. Everyone there is knowledgeable and friendly, and will help you source anything you cannot find. Reasonable pricing too! There is a Pho restaurant next door, go try them too!”
“They used to have these ginger bread type cookie bars filled with fruit. With icing strings on top. This was when they were on Kalamazoo and Boston. Does any know the name or if they still make them?”
“I live nearby. The $10 lunch deal at the deli is a really good deal. I get it all the time. It is a very nice place. It has pretty much everything I need, I rarely want to go anywhere else.”
“Ken's is always a great experience. They have a wide assortment of produce, baked goods, and the meat counter has a lot to choose from. They have a great greenhouse too. They have a lot of specialty spices and candy too. I highly recommend.”
“Love shopping here, checkouts are fast, most off brand products are as good or better than brand names. Can’t beat the prices. It’s like anywhere else, takes a bit of trial and error on some things.”
“They were having a good sale and the place was packed and every employee was very nice. I was concerned about the moods of the employee since it was a mad house, but it was a great experience just like every other visit!!??”
“Local, family run. No nitrate jerkey, nice looking deli and meats. They sell beer, cider, chips, candy! In strip mall near Snap Fitness. Close to Gordon Food Service. Ample parking in lot. Check them out!”
“I've been going to this store for decades even though it's 40 miles away. There were several ownership changes. This store had most number of Japanese items but over the years they decreased a lot. Now I have to rely on on-line shopping or go to a large Asian food store in Chicago.”
“Super clean and organized Store, staff is super friendly and willing to help you in whatever way they can. Only thing that kind of sucks is they don’t have frozen yogurt. Hopefully they can start stocking that as well.”
“Love their produce. Always restocking....shelves look amazing. I appreciate the smaller footprint for the store. As a person with medical issues, I appreciate being able to walk the store and find everything I need.”

“In the quiet kingdom of the concrete lot,
Where the quarters wait in a silver slot,
The ritual starts with a rhythmic clack—
A rented vessel for the snack-aisle track.
No marble floors or soft-lit glow,
Just high-stacked boxes in a steady row.
The Middle Aisle Magic
Here lies the heart of the fever dream,
Between the frozen peas and the heavy cream.
You came for bread, perhaps a lime,
But leave with a chainsaw and a sprig of thyme.
A snorkel set? A weighted vest?
The Aisle of Shame puts the soul to test.
You didn't know you needed a wooden duck,
Until it met you in the back of the truck.
The Velocity of the Scan
The cashier sits in a throne of speed,
A blur of motion for the hungry breed.
No dawdling here, no wasted breath,
The beep of the scanner is a dance with death.
Milk and eggs fly through the air,
With the frantic grace of a county fair.
Your pride is measured by how fast you pack,
As the next in line is at your back.
The Bounty of the Blue
Winking Owl for a modest toast,
Mama Cozzi’s—the budget host.
Brioche buns that shine like gold,
And specialty cheeses for the bold.
No name brands haunt these simple shelves,
Just treasures found by the savvy selves.
The bags are brought from the trunk of the car,
To carry the loot of the bargain star.
A quarter returned to its metal home,
A weary shopper no longer must roam.
Cheap and chaotic, a beautiful spree—
The checkout song of the ALDI tea.”
“100% excellent service... Employees and owners are the best. One of the owners inside provides me a beautiful discount as a returning customer. The prices are great and they provide a one stop shop experience for all your needs in one spot. If you are on the NW SIDE OF GRAND RAPIDS stop in and tell them that Muhammad sent you. Thanks family.”

“Great little market. They are very dog friendly. While walking up town with my granddaughter and granddog, my granddaughter insisted on stopping and assured me the dog was welcome. She was right, her dog even got a treat. I see why this is one of her favorite stores.”
“The store is well-organized and tidy. They could improve on their customer service; when you walk in, you don't receive a greeting. However, after speaking with the owner, she was okay. Additionally, many of their items need price tags. Despite these issues, I encourage you to support them. Thank you.”
“Found Maureen’s credit card walking through the door and turned it in to customer service. I’m wondering if I should have waited for the bank to open and dropped it off there. I went in to the store to buy bread and found the isle for bread. The overhead signs are the best place to look, when nobody is around. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived just after 6:00 this morning, and the store was open. I’m definitely going back to get all my groceries!”
“Had to wait in line for over 30 minutes. There was only 2 lanes open and the line was over halfway down the aisle . Update for my experience with Aldi's store.... I walked in to the store,picked up the items I went in for,was in line for a minute, maybe two. Payed and walked out All within 10 minutes and very courteous employee. Definitely going to be a regular here.”
“I lived in Grand Rapids for 11 years and would go to the Farmers Market and buy eggs and their chorizo, breakfast, and Italian sausage. I missed their chorizo I came for a visit and I decided to bring some home with me. Packed them in a cold bag put them in my luggage. They were still frozen when I got back to Seattle. Next morning I had chorizo and eggs I was in heaven. Hi Jenny”
“Harvest always has items in stock that I can’t get anywhere else and often on sale. I don’t enjoy the chaos at a larger grocery store and want to take my time. I always find a new item that will help me on my health journey.”
“I visited this place for the first time yesterday. Highly recommend making a pit stop here. Amazing produce section, meat counter, bakery and everything in between. The staff was also friendly and the store was incredibly clean. I will absolutely be coming back.”
“I had a fantastic experience at Arias Supermarket. The food was fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming, making it a great spot for a quick pick up meal. I was especially impressed by the variety of options available there’s something for everyone! I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! They also cash checks, do money orders you can even come here to purchase bus or flight tickets. Definitely multi services 10/10.”
“This is my go to store for any and all things party, home and large gatherings. You can even call the store a couple days on advance to let them know what you may need and they will make sure that it is in stock. I have been in the restaurant industry for over 25 years and they always come through for me!!”
“Always clean, the staff is always helpful. And the bremers Italian style meatballs are GREAT! Just did a catering for a wedding and used those meatballs! Which are aldis only products, 100 times better than Sam's and meijers combined. Everyone sleeping on aldis”
“Excellent selection and price! The dudes that run the place are always jovial and happy to answer any questions and more often than not will wind up pointing out their deals on comparable products.”
“Small (by American standards), friendly, authentic Mexican and Latin American store with lots of goods you don't find in your average grocery store. We went for the selection of dried beans and the very green plantains (for making tostones). The speak English and will be glad to hear your attempts at Spanish. :-)”

“So glad to find this gem!! I was able to grab all the spices for some of my favorite dishes!!
I'll gladly drive an hour to be able to come in here and grab what I need. And to explore items that aren't available anywhere near me.”
“Clean, well stocked, staff friendly ?. A little too expensive though.?
10/1/24 - Construction in progress! Seems like everyone (staff) is compensating very well! New freezers/coolers being installed. Looking forward to the finished remodel!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent halal market with great quality and service!
Afghan Halal International Market is one of the best halal markets I’ve visited. The meat is always fresh, halal, and high quality. The store is clean, well-organized, and has a great variety of Afghan and international products.
The staff are very friendly, respectful, and always ready to help. Prices are fair, and you can really feel that they care about their customers.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic halal food and great customer service. I will definitely keep coming back!”
“Love to support locally even if bigger companies charge less. I have been coming here for over a decade & I love this market. They’ve gone through several changes, but all I believe are for the best. Love all your product options inside that market. Produce is extremely clean, I LOVE THAT! Staff has always been nice & helpful w me. Excited to try out your new food court!”
“I received great customer service each and every time I shop here. I started shopping here over ten years ago and I still, to this day, recommend Martha's International Market for their food, clothing, hand bags, etc. Most High Father God truly blessing them with increase according to His riches and promises.”
“This place is a nice little market. Go there enough you will become family. If you want good old service, prices isn't bad, and selection feel free to stop on by and say hi”
