“Cleanest Krist store I have been in Has alot of room for my wheelchair in out of isles. Cups and tops reachable with no straining. Bathroom was very clean also! Very nice manager Krista. Good job Krist Gladstone team! This store should be the model of how all Krist stores should be. Krist stores have great employees and good stores, but the Gladstone store was impressive as I only go to Krist stores from Marinette, Ishpeming, and Manistique All of their employees of Krist Corp. have treated me with respect. Good job Krist employees and thank you for all of your hard work.”

“Always friendly and helpful . When I ask for something that is out of stock behind the counter, they have it in a couple days. Store and restrooms are always clean. Only "annoyance" is the air hose fir putting air in your tires. I know it's not the employees' fault. Some customers that use the air hose are just too d*** to put the hose back and out of the snow, which causes it to freeze up and break.”
