Bi-Mart has officially declared war on customer convenience with their brilliant new setup for bottle and can returns. Gone are the days of dropping off your bag and moving on with your life. Now? You get three clunky, painfully slow machines out front--each one only accepting ONE specific type of item (bottles, cans, or glass). You're now expected to stand there like a robot, feeding in cans one by one, with a 30-second delay between each, while the machine loudly rejects half of them anyway. Let's be clear: this isn't about "efficiency." It's a greedy move designed to make the process so annoying that customers just give up--like I did, with a full bag and only $4 processed. Bi-Mart still gets to say they "offer redemption," but they've made it as frustrating as legally possible. They've taken a service that worked and replaced it with something utterly unusable--not to serve you, but to save themselves money. It's cynical, lazy, and disrespectful to the people who have supported this store for decades. Bi-Mart used to stand for community and convenience. Now it stands for cutting corners and hoping you won't notice. Well--I noticed. And I'm done. read more

3 stars because the pharmacy staff here is usually really great. However, a few times I have had very negative experiences here. The lady who helped me yesterday was just plain rude, so much so that I left the store in an anxiety attack. I just had surgery, and was a bit foggy headed, but that was no reason to treat a customer so poorly. If I lived in a bigger town with more options, I would transfer my business. It is not ok to make someone nervous to pick up their medication. read more

When I was 9 years old I could sneak into bimart by following any adult who flashed the green card and look at an eclectic mix of classic and modern fair, at 39 I can still do the same thing. Its a time capsule. Nothing has changed. Buy a sevelor raft, dog food, wine, cotton balls, c.b. radio and a rifle in the same store??? Yes you can!!! Walmart, Kmart, target. It all starts with bimart. read more
