Here's the thing, I like buying produce not in bulk because it's just the two of us and the dog. We love a variety of fruits and vegetables, so too much of one thing is boring. We walked in to a very large metal building that was bright, inviting an clean. Possibly the largest ferns I have ever witnessed for sale. They also have different jellies and butters at a very reasonable price. The selection was good, but do to understaffing they have issues getting their truck unloaded. The cashier was very pleasant and efficient. We only needed a few items and very much enjoyed what we purchased. As we are trying to live in the moment and sometimes I don't take pictures.

I prefer this store over their closest competitor because this one has more variety from Central America whereas their competitor is geared more towards Latin Caribbean products. If they'd get better produce, I'd give more stars. You can purchase calling cards, otc medicines, personal hygiene products, even a bus ticket to Mexico. They accept the EBT card if you use one also credit/debit cards. Overall, it's great that they're here.

However, When I opened oysters to prepare for consumption I found the "foot" of the oyster was still attached to the full 5# container. This is a hard chewy part of the oyster; it's not edible in my opinion. In order to eat these oysters I had to cut the foot away from each one. Very disappointing as this accounted for almost a pound of the meat!

1-Star Review CJ has some of the worst customer service I…read morehave ever experienced. During one of my recent visits, there was dog feces on the entrance mat and tracked throughout the store. The smell was overwhelming. Several other customers and I brought it to CJ's attention, but he said he wasn't going to clean it up until closing because it was almost time to go home. Instead of addressing a serious sanitation issue immediately, he allowed customers to continue walking through the feces, tracking it throughout the store and back into their vehicles. That is completely unacceptable, especially in a fish and seafood market where cleanliness and sanitation should be a top priority. This wasn't my first negative experience with CJ. I have dealt with his poor customer service on other occasions, and this incident was the final straw. A manager should put the health, safety, and well-being of customers first, not convenience. Because of the way CJ handled this situation and the poor customer service I have repeatedly experienced, I rarely shop here anymore. I sincerely hope ownership addresses both the sanitation standards and the level of customer service provided by this manager.
