Ideal Supermarket has a great selection of items to choose from. The shelves are stacked very well and the store is very clean. The cashiers are very friendly. The only issue I have is the meat. Don't sell meat that passed it's expiration date. Otherwise it's always a pleasure to shop at this establishment.
