“Joe’s Market is an absolute gem. I’ve been there quite a few times and honestly can’t think of a single thing I’ve gotten that wasn’t excellent. The grinder I had today was phenomenal, fresh, packed with flavor, and one of the best I’ve had in a long time. I love how much variety they offer too. It’s such a unique and versatile place with a great selection of food and other items. You can tell they take pride in what they do. If you haven’t checked out Joe’s Market yet, you’re missing out. Highly recommended!”

“Such nice owners! My 12yo went in to buy a treat and was 2$ short at the register. He gave it to her anyway. They also participate in the downtown events and are always so kind. Will always go back and support this small business!”

“This review is strictly regarding Shawna, not the store. We were on my way home from vacation and my wife and mother in-law went a separate way to go shopping. I didn't realize until I needed fuel, that me and the kids were 1.5 hours away from home and about the same distance away from my wife, who had my wallet in her car. I had less than an 1/8th of a tank of gas with a 2 year old and a 7 year old in a very hot day, just trying to make it back home. I went inside to ask if the gas station accepts Cash App, and unfortunately they didn't. Shawna looked outside and saw my kids in the car and offered me $20 to put gas in the car and make it back home, and if that wasn't enough she offered more. We figured out how to pay her through my phone app, but the gesture was an unbelievable moment. All Shawna asked was for me to pay it forward. I've never been in a situation like that before, but Shawna got my kids home that day. Citgo, Shawna needs to be recognized for being an amazing person. She knows the regular customers and treated me like family even though she's never met me before. If your team members are willing to help strangers, imagine what they do for the regular customers. Please recognize her however you feel appropriate, but it is well deserved and she should feel valued. Thank you Shawna! This gesture meant the world to me. Blessed, Matt.”
