They are deep cleaning the store! Yay!…read more This store has been a mess the entire time I have been going here, with merchandise just heaped on shelves like a child tried to clean up their room by picking up everything from the floor and dumping it onto the shelf regardless of what it is and if it actually belonged there. However, the last few times I have been there, it has been obvious that they are emptying the shelves aisle by aisle, cleaning out the old merchandise, and reorganizing the shelves to make them neat and tidy and properly stocked! This store is usually well-stocked and has a very good selection of items, so having it well organized will be a huge improvement. Whoever is in charge, good work.

I looked this one up online and decided to go by and omg do I wish I had stayed home!! The bathrooms were deplorable and made me want to throwup, the floors were nasty and looked like they haven't been swept and mopped I'm years and they had the audacity to try and sell people merchandise in this place. I didn't even want to breath the air in that place, let alone buy something. This place needs to be demolished, extremely nasty! The owners should be ashamed of themselves!

If you value your safety, you will avoid this particular stretch of downtown. There are third…read moreworld countries that are safer than this (seriously). The metro mall is similar to a small indoor flea market type of setup, with a small variety of different mom and pop businesses in it, mostly catering to the urban scene downtown. It's never been a "good" area, but these days it's pretty ridiculous. The last time I was there 6 people tried to bum money off of me and one guy swore I fathered his last wives baby (?!?). I've been told by City workers that the Mayor allegedly tells folks to "steer" tourists complete away from this area and more toward the Aquarium/Park area a few blocks away. No city leader has ever seemed to really try to tackle the problem. I guess they figure if they keep places like this the way they are, they attract people who would otherwise venture into those tourist areas and make the City look bad. As someone else said though, the security manager is INCREDIBLE - a no B.S. type of Robocop kind of guy who will kick the ghetto queens and thieves out like a sack of potatoes, even using his stun gun if need be (there are videos online of this - wonderful). We need 1000 more of him throughout downtown, that's all I can say. He deserves a metal. Anyway - not much a "review", but the fact is, there's little reason for everyday people to go to the Metro Mall. It serves a sub-niche of clientele, which imo does not include conventioneers or tourists; you have other options. Unless you like to practice your survival skills.

As usual, today the aisles were blocked by pallets needing to be stocked and the floors badly needed to be mopped. That won't get done anytime soon, however, because the lone cashier was the only person working in the store this afternoon.

The prices are a bit higher but its a small business and they give back BIG to the community. You can earn points to redeem for discounts with your purchase. Check out this funny wine description on a bottle the owner shared with me. (You cant't get this service in Kroger- just casually sharing something funny to brighten my day). The products vary from traditional common household brands to those known in other parts of the country. You can also purchase MANY natural products, and mindfully packaged products (in addition to the average "Now /Later" hard candy any good kid will want)

Tried walking around the corner to this place after dark. Tried going down Mills street. I realized as soon as I turned the corner that I wasn't even going to make it to the store with my wallet and intestines intact. I tried going around the long way on the busier streets and actually made it within view of the front door. The two young gentlemen loitering at the front made it clear that 11.39 was the best deal I was gonna get for water and soda tonight. I returned to the hotel and happily paid it. I was glad to end the night with the same number of holes in my body that I started with. Saving a couple bucks isn't worth getting mugged or shot.
