They carry a tremendous inventory of everything in any and all options available - brands, sizes, flavors, and product I've never seen before. Please, please, please open locations on the east coast!!! Woodmans is easily 4 or 5 times as large as our largest grocery stores in Maryland, plus the people working there were helpful!! I guess that's due to being 100% employee owned...

Place orders on line WITH Woodmans: so I ordered some wrong coffee filters and called the…read moreCarpentersville store and asked if I can return them, their customer service said no problem. I go there a couple of days later and was told they could not take it and that I would have to go thru the app to return. Had my receipt but was still told they would not return them. I think you may want to retrain your staff on how to handle customers in the future. Well, almost 1 week later customer service was good enough to get back to me and I gave him the information they needed never heard back from them. Granite, I ordered the wrong item, but I guess they still won't take it back all it was with some coffee filters. Future online buyers beware if you order something wrong, their customer service claims to be concerned to handle good customers but for us never got back to us.

Treats Paying Customers Like Criminals - Algonquin IL store 699…read moreI am single, visit once a week , but it can vary. I have been shopping here for as many years as this store has been open. WTF with the rent-a-cop following me around every time I visit for the last few months? Yes, I wear a heavy coat in winter. WTH am I thinking wearing a heavy coat when it's 30 degrees outside? Yes, sometimes I look at things on the produce shelf for an extended time; 1- things aren't always in the same place, 2- I like to review the options like any normal shopper, 3- sometimes I read a label and put the item back, 4- check my eggs for cracks... How the hell is that suspicious behavior? I shop at many grocery stores, but this is the only one where I am basically treated like a criminal. Whole Foods doesn't treat me this way, The Fresh Market doesn't treat me this way, Walmart doesn't treat me this way, or any other grocery store for that matter. I am sorry that you have a theft problem, but I am not it. Driving away good customers isn't going to help your bottom line. Get your act together. It's insulting and I deserve an apology. I would use Instacart to avoid your unwelcoming store , but you are too cheap to participate. When shopping here , Expect to be Treated as a Potential Thief.

I have been going to Mariano's for quite some time now and about 1 to 4 times a month lately. I…read morehave bought sandwiches that have been marked down because the date is near and the bread has been stale already even though it's within a day or two of the sell by date. I have also bought things from the bakery that have been marked down and they have been very stale even though the sell by date was one to two days into the future. So a couple days ago I buy this pork prepackaged and not entirely inexpensive and I go to cook it today. It's been in the refrigerator and the sale by date is tomorrow, but it looks so discolored and old. I'm not even going to try to open it and smell it. I'm taking it back tomorrow and I'm really sick and tired of taking things back to the grocery stores that are rotten. It is a drive to any of them and i may or may not have enough time to drive back, find a place to park, and go in and take care of business. I have ended up just throwing things out like little bakery items that were a couple bucks or a sandwich that was three or four instead of eight or six dollars. I think my days of shopping at Mariano's are over. Definitely stay away from markdowns, Also Their prices on most things are not cheap but I will say usually their full price fresh veggies and fruit are good and fresh. Hard to go from place to place for this and that though.

The aisles are very tight and packed with a huge variety of imported items so bring your patience.

On my part I learned to check my order before driving home or else you'll going to drive back to the store which happened to me today.

Just give everybody the same price, some people don't want to shop on their phones, and your WIFI is awful, the app crashes in store. Tried to complain with the customer form online, but it didn't work, LIKE THE APP! So I guess I have to review you here. UPDATE: Horrible store, just horrible. Since my first review above, they have updated to digital price tags. Great I thought, NOW I won't have pricing issues at this store. Nope, same problem. You have got to memorize every price for the items you pick up, and then I guess you need to tell the cashier to shut up? They lull me into a sense of calmness with their welcoming and friendly behavior and I don't pay attention to the checkout. Then I get home and realize I was insanely ripped off and now I have to go back to the store again to get the issue corrected. It happens CONSTANTLY at this store and I have had it. I'm going for the last time tomorrow morning to get my money back, AGAIN! And now I have no food to get me through the night, since I have to return their product. Thanks for making me starve AND wasting my gas Jewel. In my family we ask which Jewel you've gone to when returning home - "the good one" or "the bad one." Guess which one in town we refer to as "the bad one?"

Basically this is a Mexican themed grocery store with lots of items you'll find at many other…read moregroceries. It has some pretty unique things for around Carpentersville, if you just go to other stores. Village Fresh Market sure is fresh, especially for the fruits and vegetables. Has lots of other groceries too like cereal, but the prices aren't as good on these items. The produce is where you'll get your money's worth, so stick there. Apparently it used to be another grocery store, because it's big. It's set up like a regular grocery store. There's aisles, and there's a big section on the side for fruits and vegetables. It's bright and clean. There's mostly Mexicans who are shopping in here, but they wouldn't be here if it wasn't any good. Also at the front there's a stand to get juices and fruits. It's $4 for a juice. The Greens Juice is the best of these. It's green of course. This is made with apples, celery, cucumbers, ginger, lemon, and spinach. It's $4 for a bowl of fruit. The Fruta Grande is a bowl filled with the fruit if your choice, and it's topped with chili salt, which gives it a spice. Good place to get something fresh. It's a store but be sure to get some juices and fruit bowls on your way in or out. There's also some other vendors.
