The store shares an enormous parking lot with other businesses. I will definitely spend more time in the store on my next visit to see what else I can find.

Awesome store inside, everything is fresh and employees are friendly, but not the outside and not…read morethe manager/owners. It's disheartening that while the employees work hard to make this store excellent, the owners' poor management ruins all of that hard work. CASE: Be careful with your car on busy or windy days. Poorly managed carts fly around the lot at very high speed and one of them hit someone's car. They declined to give their insurance info and offered to pay out of pocket instead. The whole time, they ignored my emails and stalled the process until I mentioned court. The manager and owner, Dimitris Svigos and Jonathan Svigos, agreed to reimburse my expenses in the end. But once I gave them the invoices, they ignored me completely and stopped responding. They make this difficult for you on purpose, simply because they can. UPDATE: I filed a small claims case. These two geniuses (one of them with an MBA) let it escalate, and they ended up agreeing to pay triple what we agreed to at first. Brilliant financial decision from the MBA. Then they started looking for excuses not to pay again and decided to hire a lawyer too, instead of just paying and getting it over with. It was another brilliant move from MBA. They also claim they never had authorization to agree to any payment, because the store actually belongs to their parents. So apparently Jonathan, Partner and VP of the store with an MBA, can't handle a small claims case without asking his daddy for permission I'll keep you posted.

Opening day at Skokie International Market. It was very busy and chaotic…read more The markets carries many fresh Chinese vegetables, meats and groceries. Shelves are well stocked but the isles are a bit narrow to navigate. Especially when shoppers stop in the middle because something caught their eyes and have no regards for other shoppers. I dislike that! To avoid crowds, I suggest shopping during non-rush hours. Prices are comparable to other Asian grocery store near by. The market is easily accessed from Lincoln Avenue.

But my brother, a loyal Mariano's customer, insisted that I come here to fill my mother's prescription. I called yesterday morning to confirm that they have the medications we need in stock, and Cody was kind enough to answer my questions. I arrived later in the afternoon and had the pleasure of meeting the nice young man. I am very grateful to have had the chance to thank him in person. He filled my order on the spot while I waited for less than 20 minutes. Let's be honest, there seems to be a lack of empathy these days for some odd reason. It doesn't cost you a thing to be kind.

I come here about once per month to get a dozen whole wheat pita, a tub of their own hummus, a jar of their hot sauce (the extra hot variety will clear up any sinus infection you might have -- it' s spicy!), and barberries. I also like to pick up something random and new to try -- last time was some pomegranate glaze/vinegar thing, which has been great in salads and as a mixer in mocktails! But sadly they were out of barberries when I went last week, and the last few times they only had a container or two, and I bought all they had. If any of the staff are monitoring these reviews, please restock, because I don't know where else to buy them! Also they have a variety of Dubai chocolate at their front counter and every time I'm super tempted. Also, the baklava selection is on point.

Do you all know that Kroger once tried to buy Albertsons? I'm not sure if this is still in progress…read moreor not, only that at this point I really hope it doesn't go through. I don't love monopolies, unless I am winning at the board game. So I look up cheap grocery stores, and other than Aldi, Food4Less came up. I found one not too far away from me and decided to venture up there. I walked through the doors and some of the first merchandise I see has the Kroger logo. Go figure. Where it comes to this specific grocery store, variety is one of the items that cost it points Their selection was fair, but the deli department is notably small, and there is no visible butcher shop (though there are meats and seafood for sale). You can more or less find everything you would need among these notably very wide aisles, but perhaps some items would require one to go elsewhere. Among the items they had, the store appeared clean and well stocked. When it comes to their prices, while nothing is cheap anymore, especially in Chicagoland, I found their prices were a little lower than average, especially for the eggs. When it comes to the customer service, this could also be a little bit better. While there was no one at the customer service desk, it had a little sign that said that this register is closed. So... if you need to return something or if a price isn't right, what then? You're just out of luck or something? I'd also like to note that this is a place where you bag your own groceries. Not a problem, necessarily, just thought I'd put it out there. Thus, while I appreciate the lower prices, the slightly limited selection and the lack of customer service cost Food4Less a couple points. Still respectable though, and I can still see myself coming back on occasion.
