“Friendly staff and if you leave your phone by accident and call it to see where you left it, they will answer it and say you leave here and that's the jist of the conversation about the phone. He was in a good mood that night because when my friend got her phone he said not to make a habit of leaving it because he's not a babysitter. Lol”
“That's the first store I've been to and treated like a lady had the owner and his worker help with a gas can. Blessed to be right down the road from this store!”
“We went in the store this evening and met the owner. He is a very polite gentleman. He has a very nice store that was very well kept. You could tell he takes pride in the presentation and cleanliness of the store. His personality was warm and welcoming. He takes the time to provide superior customer service. Also, I hear the food they serve is excellent so we will be going back to check it out.”
“I love the remodel!! This is my favorite local place to get fried chicken. Its always delicious. A lot of people say that it tastes different now, but i have to disagree. Their regular fries are my favorite!! I recently started stopping in the morning as well to grab a breakfast croissant and those are really good too. Love Jr Food Mart and I'm happy to have them back.”
“As opposed to the one-star review I left yesterday regarding my experience at the pharmacy, this review is for the main store after the pharmacy is closed. I was hesitant to go inside, but I’m very glad I did. Bria was working the counter, and she was incredibly welcoming from the moment I walked up. She is a true example of professionalism and genuine customer service. She made sure I found everything I needed and offered thoughtful suggestions for items that weren’t in stock. What stood out most was how naturally kind and attentive she was while still remaining very professional. I ended up sharing more than I probably should have about my recent difficult experience at the pharmacy, as well as my daughter being life flighted and now thankfully back home. Even so, she listened with patience and compassion without ever making me feel rushed or like I was taking up her time. She also encouraged me to give the pharmacy another try, speaking positively about the pharmacist and helping me feel more comfortable doing so. Bria creates a welcoming environment through both her professionalism and her kindness. She is truly a pleasure to interact with, and she reflects very well on the store.”
“Store n staff, excluding the pharmacy, are AWESOME, Pharmacy is HORRIBLE, was there for 7 years and dealt with incompetence at the pharmacy for 7 years! So happy my insurance added Brookshire Brothers Pharmacy this year, they are Super Awesome. Oh also the Lumberton Pharmacy is even worse!!!!!”
