ADA Service Dog Policy Violation To Whom It May Concern, As my family and I attempted to enter your establishment with my service dog, we were denied service by a cashier. The employee stated "no dogs allowed." I informed her that my dog is a service animal, to which she demanded to see "tags" for both me and my dog. I showed her my dog's vest, but she insisted that documentation and tags were required. When I explained that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not require tags, special identification, or paperwork, she dismissed this, stating that her daughter is a veterinarian so she "knows." This interaction was discriminatory and demonstrates a clear lack of ADA compliance. Under the ADA: * When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, staff may only ask two questions: 1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? 2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? * Staff cannot: * Ask about the person's disability * Require medical documentation * Require a special identification card, tags, or training documentation * Ask the dog to demonstrate its trained tasks Additionally, service animals must be permitted in all areas of a facility where the public is allowed to go. The only exceptions for removal are if the animal is out of control and the handler does not take effective action, or if the animal is not housebroken. In this case, neither exception applied. Instead, I was prevented from entering the establishment altogether, which is a direct violation of federal law and my rights as an individual with a disability. I urge your business to immediately review and implement ADA service animal policies and to train staff accordingly. Ensuring compliance will not only prevent future violations but also foster an inclusive and respectful environment for all customers. read more

There are several great things about Carousel. First, the name, "Carousel", I hear Carousel and I think Paris, my childhood, having it all, surprises, fun, etc... Second, they are just a few hundred yards for the water. You park there (on the road) and then walk down to the beach. My wife and I have done this weekly since we moved from Miami. The wine collection the entire variety of food in the market is just perfect. They are not a gigantic store, but they carry everything you need, for any occasion. Pricing is just as competitive, some time better than regular grocery stores. They even have BOGOs. Lastly, the people that work there are nice and attentive, but also the patrons make it nice and Socially pleasant. The ambience is just so nice, some times we just go there to see what's going on. One more, very important fact... Liquor store next door. It just doesn't get any better. That's Carousel for making our community better! read more

A great place to get your wine and meat selections for that in-house dinner to prepare for your AirBnB or VRBO rental!

This locally owned store was recommended to me by a friend, so I headed over there to check it out. It reminds me of a lot of locally owned stores around - a little higher priced, some local goods, and some specialty items. They had a fresh chicken salad that reminded me of some I can get of home, and then some other deli goods and things. I roamed the store, but did notice the uptick in prices there, and I didn't know if we would get to enjoy all of them, so I refrained. There is a cute gift store attached with very reasonably priced housewares and souvenirs, mostly coastal themed. The employee there was very nice and welcoming. I didn't feel compelled to purchase any of the items, but there were some platters and some cute plates and bowls that I was really drawn to. Once I grabbed a few items to take back with me, I went to check out, and that's where everything went downhill fast. I wasn't greeted by either employee there - they were involved in a very detailed conversation about another employee who is apparently a "Sh** disturber" and who needs to be fired bc she gets in everyone's business and tells everyone, and she apparently took some time off which really ticked one lady off. She even paused at one point to stress something to the other employee again. Once I paid and got my bag, their conversation continued - no acknowledgement or thank you or even eye contact. So unfortunately, that is the impression that I am left with of Carousel. I won't be back on future trips to the shore. read more

Great location, very good pricing, excellent selection of food and wine. Very friendly staff.

My wife and I were staying in Panama City Beach and took a three mile walk to a grocery store we had been to about 3 weeks ago that we really liked. They had good prices for beer and a nice produce selection and a cool little gift shop with a bathroom off to the side. My wife liked their selection of Chex Mix, her favorite food, I got some Terrapin beer from Athens, Georgia. The service the two times I have been have been great, super friendly staff! The floors are clean and shiny. Great grocery store as you get away from the touristy parts of Panama City Beach. read more

Carousel Supermarket - Outside - Grocery Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

This is the best local market. Friendly staff. Good selection of food and wine. I love being close to this store.

Great little family grocery store in local community. We need one in the local community on east end of panama city Beach (Thomas drive Beach side) for the locals. We have gas stations on every corner in local community, why not small grocery stores like this? They have fresh meats, breads and vegetables and huge wine selection at great prices. read more

So nice to see this local grocery store! They have a great selection of food, wine, beach supplies, and even have a gift shop! Its so nice to be able to support local business and it's literally right next to the beach (also a 5 minute walk from our airbnb). The staff was all super friendly and check out was always super fast! read more

Carousel Supermarket - View from the parking lot - Grocery Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

I think this is a very convenient store for me but unfortunately, it lacks diversity.. I am unsure as to why every time I enter this establishment I am followed by workers.. It cracks me up, someone even went as far as running out the store as they thought I left without paying.. Love is way more prevalent then hate, with the prices that you all are charging you all should be alot nicer to those of us who have melanin and come to your store an make purchases.. Moving forward I would rather walk to Winn Dixie, Aldi's or Publix just to save the disparagement.. I live in this neighborhood and pay bills the same as you unlike the tourist who are just here for a split second.. If in future I decided to come in to pick up an item or too, I am hoping you all have updated your diversity training.. As for now, Nancy Sinatra said these boots are made for walking and that is what I am going to do!!! read more

As a new local I love the Carousel! Amazing amazing customer service and friendly employees! Honestly the store could be a wreck and the customer service is on point BUT it is a clean and trending supermarket! I love being able to just do a quick hop in the car and be back home without getting caught up in Publix! (Love Publix but sometimes it too much). I also love that if you have a must have item they will entertain bring it in and keeping it in. My Dad's favorite wine is always on the shelves. And that gift store is Devine!!!! Thank you Carousel you are a neighborhood anchor!!!! read more

Such a cute, clean supermarket! I wish we would have come in here first before going to the expensive Winn-Dixie. They have everything you could possibly need, a great beer and wine selection, and the prices weren't as bad as we expected, no different than where we live in SC. And definitely better prices than the local Winn-Dixie. Very cool gift shop as well. The customer service was absolutely phenomenal, everyone was extremely friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Love this place! Right down the street from home. They carry my fav spices & dressings/sauces from Birmingham. Great produce! Excellent prices & super friendly staff! Also, great wine selection!! The store has a facelift & looks beautiful!!! read more

I have been going to the Carousel since it opened when I was a child. It has gone through many changes throughout the years. This place is a great grocery store with everything you could possibly need including fresh vegetables, nice meat and the BEST CHICKEN around. The carousel also has a great selection of beer and wine and a separate liquor store. My wife loves the gift shop. I miss the snack bar and arcade machine that were there 50 plus years ago read more

The person working the lottery counter in the mornings is consistently rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Instead of providing basic customer service, they act as if helping customers is a burden. They are short-tempered, unwilling to answer simple questions, and make the whole interaction unnecessarily unpleasant. I'm a born and raised Local and hate to say that I will no longer go to Carousel because of their consistently rude cashier. read more

Fantastic selection of fresh produce and meats right across from the beach. The liquor store is great too with a ton of options.

We ran into Carousel Supermarket to pick up a few last minute items. The store is well laid out and had everything we needed. It had a cute little gift shop with many beach items. It was on the expensive side but what do you expect for a tourist town? It was very clean and everyone that worked there were incredibly friendly. read more

This is the best, cleanest little market on this end of the beach. The prices were very comparable to other local stores. Being locally owned I would much rather shop here, even if I had to spend a dollar or so more. The cashiers and stock hell were friendly and helpful. The selection of stock was also very good. Would shop here anytime! read more

A gift shop...groceries...beer & wine...what more could you ask for?!? One stop shop.:.and a liquor store next door. This is a must stop place when in the area!! read more

I love the meat selection the wine and also the gift shop. And I love the facet that it's not a chain.

Love this little grocery store! Has all you need for your beach vacation. It has a wonderful gift shop attached as well! I love one stop shopping read more

Great grocery store that everything you want with some really fresh reasonably priced fresh vegetables. It's much quicker to get in and out than Winn Dixie. The gift shop has cute stuff if you are in town and visiting and want to pickup something nice rather than cheesy things from Sunsations. The wine selection is my favorite, lots of options for every budget. Think of this as a watered down fresh market but locally owned. Plan for it to be busy on Holiday weekends. No fresh to order food so don't come looking for that kind of thing here even though I wish they did. read more

This locally owned store is awesome for all your needs if you are in the Panama City Beach area.

Carousel Supermarket - cars parked in a parking lot - Grocery Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Unfortunately, I was there at 3:15pm today, and I had my 16 lb miniature poodle with me on a leash, ESA. The manager came around the corner and yelled: "WE DO NOT ALLOW DOGS INHERE"! He was very rude and loud. Needless to say, I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK AGAIN! And I will spread the word. read more

Nice little supermarket close to our condo, good selection of products and fair prices. Also the liquor store is stocked nicely.

We have been vacationing in the area and I've seen the signs for the store on the way to the big box chain stores to pick up groceries and decided to stop by. It is a beautifully located store right across from the water that has an excellent selection of food items as well as a very cute boutique attached to it. I also noticed a nice selection of beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys, along with sunscreen if any of those are needed for a trip to the beach.Their wine and beer selection was large and I appreciated being able to grab a sampler of some local ales for our group. They also have a very small deli section with premade items and I was able to grab some dips and crackers for snacks. This will be my go to market on future vacations. It's nice to support a local business, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. read more

Great little market! I forgot my wallet and phone there and it was there for me to pick up when I realized my mistake. read more

This is a Diamond in a goats butt!!!! This store has everything you need and reasonable prices. And the have a liquor store right next door. The employees are very nice and very helpful. read more

This place is more fun than going to a chain supermarket. The employees remember you and love to chat. The prices are comparable to Winn-Dixie and Publix. You will find many things here that are unavailable in bigger stores. They will special order things you want. Their veggies and fruits are fresher. Wine tastings on Sat. are terrific. Wine selection is pretty good. Keep your shopping dollars local and enjoy the difference here. read more

Can not call them. I drive a good way to get some specialty items they carry. Apparently I am not special enough for them to answer the phone. Go to some other grocery for your supplies. Might be a mile further but I bet the answer the phone. read more

The best supermarket between Whole Foods in Destin and Lucky's in Panama City. Look for their own brand of jelly, sauces and tapenades. Also a fantastic place to buy wine. Bonus get some bread and cheese and walk across street to the beach. read more

This is a great place to shop. The grocery store has great produce and good meats, and the prices are not bad. It's convenient to where we stay in PCB, but I also like that it isn't such a huge store to navigate and find things. They have a fantastic array of fine wines, if you are a wine lover, but I bought a whole case of Gallo Cabernet for under $50, since I am not a connoisseur! My best experience so far has been at the gift shop, though. About three weeks ago, I had bought a pair of sunglasses. Yesterday they broke, so I went back to buy a new pair. When I happened to mention that they had broken and that I had bought them there, the woman who waited on me offered me a credit, even though I did not have a receipt. What great customer service! Not only that, but that gift shop is amazing, with good quality items at reasonable prices. read more

Carousel Supermarket is a 1960s, multi-generational, family-owned gem!! The wine department is the BEST is the Southeast. Unbelievable selection at a very low price point. All your grocery needs can be found here. The icing on the cake is their high-caliber, boutique shop that includes a cute collection of clothes for women and little girls, jewelry, decor, art, locally-themed t-shirts, hats and beach toys. Love supporting old-school, vintage Florida businesses. When in the back of the grocery and in the boutique, look up to see scores of black and white photos of the area in the 50s and 60s. Love those!! Also, a liquor store is next door. read more

I love shopping at the Carousel! I love the size, not too big, and the quality of the produce, plus their Pimento Cheese!, all the people working their are so helpful and friendly. Being across from the beach is nice too, beautiful surroundings! if you have never shopped there, try it, you love the experience! read more

I have been going here for 25 years or more and we rent out many many people . I pick up famous crab salad straight trash I eould not feed that trash to a homeless person this is so sad because it was so simple to make yet they seem stoned and confused and destroyed a trademark culinary quest but z hear me Winn Dixie leftover are better and no I nothing about the owner or anyone there but I do know that is a sad sad excuse for any kind of salad read more

This is my good to super market! Fresh produce. Good meats. They have a adorable shop inside as well!
