“From the folks who own this, to every last worker day or night I get treated with nothing but respect and positive interactions. Since I've moved to Olmsted Falls at the beginning of the pandemic I've gone out of my way to go to this store, not only because they have 99% of what I always need but because its truly a convenient store, and the cherry on top is the friendly faces behind the counter.”

More people like this, more businesses like this, thank you!!”

A lot of my relatives told me that’s the best deli food that they have ever had and they will be coming to Riverside to get more food in their free time. You cannot beat their mannerisms and professionalism great place to be doing business.”

“Butternut Corners Market is perfect for what it is - a little convenience store on the corner so you don't have to go all the way to the grocery for whatever you need. They have assorted cold drinks (pop, Gatorade, iced tea, energy drinks) and beer, sweet and salty snacks, a deli counter with premade hot/cold sandwiches, household items, grocery basics like milk, butter, cheese, bacon, ice cream, canned goods, even some household cleaning items and a small selection of vegetables. They have an ATM and lottery tickets. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. I stop by at least once a week, usually in my pajamas or something crazy, and they never bat an eye. I can't think of anything I would change - maybe ask them to stock G2? Pretty minor. If you see a crazy lady running on no sleep in her pajamas, perhaps with a small child in tow, that's probably me. Feel free to say hi.”

“Have stopped into this Lucky Mart location in South Park Mall in Strongsville many times in the past and have not really had any issues. The staff is decent, and the store has been run very well. They are always well stocked unless they are out of something here- which is a rare occasion. I remember when this store used to be an old EB Games and you can tell that it used to be. However- I like it as the Lucky Mart better because you can also buy Powerball or Mega Millions tickets safely and the staff is honest and will tell you if the system is down. I am definitely a regular customer here and will continue to stop in, because it is well worth your time. Plus the ability to get a 20 oz Coke or other beverages outside of the food court is always a plus as well.”
8231 Columbia Rd, Olmsted Falls OH 44138
“Jessica was a phenomenal person! She was manning the store solo on a cold day which would make the happiest of people go crazy, not too many people coming through but still seemed happy to see a friendly face. I stopped real quick to refuel with a slushie and some gas and I ended up with these healthy fruit drinks I’d never tried before, along with some protein packed options that help me throughout my day! I lift in my free time and now don’t have to worry about getting my daily intake in later after work now that I’ve slowly loaded up throughout the day. Thank you very much for the recommendations, stay warm in this cold weather ❄️.”
