So, shopping at the Big Rapids location and I'm pretty appalled actually. I came in to do some…read moreshopping for sugar free/carb free cake that I'm making for a friend of mine's daughter. You know, kids have it hard enough these days but when you add in ANY type of illness it just makes it that much worse! So I'm hoping to make a beautiful and tasty cake for this young lady turning 13, whose friends regularly eat sugar filled cake. Of course Meijer doesn't sell these cakes and I'm not a professional baker but if I were I would certainly try to accommodate my customers if I didn't carry something they needed. Long story semi short... you can't SELL a cake board and plastic cover to a customer who is making something you don't? Really? First off way to fail at customer service! Second, I HATE Walmart but at least I can buy a plastic/cardboard cake plate from them!! Update: Meijer contacted me and apologized for this encounter. They stated normally they would not sell their supplies but in certain cases a team lead should be consulted. He stated in this case they would have sold me one cake board and dome. I really appreciate that they did this and they also stated they would bring this up with the staff working that day to clarify. In either case, I still made this girls cake and it turned out great!

They have deliveries from a local baker as well that makes fabulous sour dough (Laughing Tree). They have also expanded their offerings on speciality cheeses and health products. Hansen Foods brings in produce from local farmers as well as canned goods from local producers. Prices are competitive especially for a small store. They're a little higher than the major grocery chain but it's nice to support local businesses. Staff are friendly and the owner wants to accommodate and evens does some special orders if a product is low or out of stock.

Its not a very big place, but its packed with all kinds of good looking meats. They had samples at the door and they were very good. We purchased a few donuts and took them back to the family.

Walmart is only about 20 minutes away, but Cherry Hill blows them away! Try the breakfast sausage, it is the only kind we buy! Friendliest staff, GREAT meat, beer, liquor, and for its size Cherry Hill offers a great selection of just about everything from spices & baking needs to fresh or canned fruit & vegetables. They even have a gluten free section. Another thing, most of the prices here are the same as Walmart or only a few cents more. . . Clearly NOT worth the 40 minute round trip drive to save a few cents. Plus, with weekly sales, you just can't beat shopping local Another perk of small town service. . . Here at Cherry Hill, their friendly staff will CARRY YOUR GROCERIES TO YOUR CAR!!!! No matter the weather! Where else does that happen? Not at Walmart or Meijer, that's for sure!

Here Today. There Tomorrow!…read more Before today I knew nothing of a Meijer's, what's a Meijer's? Well Meijer's is another Walmart, they run neck to neck. Now, of course I just had to investigate for myself and for the people to decide. What I discovered: 1. Meijer's floral department is waaaay fresher! You can smell their fragrance throughout the store which will put you in the mood for a little 1 stop shopping. 2. They offered sale items, which if you don't usually use Gain laundry detergent "On Sale" will change your mind. 3. The prices on clothes was a shock and looked less of quality than Walmart. Walmart is really starting to suck but if you follow Business News it's explainable. 4. Meijer's had a person posted up at the entrance door to help guide you to the correct department if you're just running in and quickly out. 5. More staff visible to assist. Those are just a few differences I noticed if you have reasons why refuse not to shop at Walmart. As I keep saying, WE like options and DON'T have to put up with sucky service! Hit these businesses in the pocket! Here Today. There Tomorrow!
