Metro Market

Locally owned & operated

Established in 1919

Woodman's Market...may be the first grocery store that had me contemplating relocation across…read morestates just to be able to shop there. Woodman's Market is a local Wisconsin brand of markets that puts every other market I have shopped at to shame. They are community focused and worker owned, which is really cool in today's corporate driven retail environment. In addition to their mission, they are solely grocery driven, meaning they focus on food, and lots of it...you will not find a wide variety of clothing, toys, seasonal items, etc...here, just food, lots and lots of food, and drinks. The store itself is MASSIVE, overwhelmingly so. However it is so thoughtfully laid out and spaced very well. Aisles are wide, sections are very clear and well defined and again, the selection is unreal. This is repeated throughout the store with every section from produce, veggies, snacks, frozen, meats, drinks, etc... In addition to the impressive variety of goods, Woodman's also has a gas station, service/lube station (oil changes), car wash and of course a well-stocked and good sized liquor store! Legit, everything. The store is well maintained conditionally and was very clean, inside and out. Service was top notch as well. From the cart attendance to the stock associate to the cashier...all were great! Overall, Woodman's Market is currently my favorite grocery store in the country. And I am honestly willing to throw hands over it. In addition to restaurants and other spaces I visit when in WI, Woodman's is always considered a priority stop!

I've come to appreciate Woodman's over our many regular trips to Wisconsin…read more It's become our go-to to buy New Glarus beer while in the state, as well as any other snacks for the trip back home. Some things I love about Woodman's: * It's employee-owned, and every employee I've come across has been happy and helpful to chat with. * They are all laid out about the same. For example, I know that I can usually find the cheese curds (something else we typically stop for to give to others back home) in the cases near the back wall. * It's clean. * There is a wide variety of items, including produce and locally made products. * The attached liquor store is also easy to find your way around in. Like others have mentioned, Woodman's does not take most credit cards, so be sure to have cash on hand.

My mother is still raving about the large jar of honey-soaked nuts, while my dad was excited for the variety of olives. (Meanwhile, I get to smile to myself knowing that I got it for a great deal!)

Getting fresh baked goods is a common item that I look for on a weekly basis and hearing that no bakers came in this morning is disappointing.

It seems like it might be a good idea to hire more staff at this location! The grocery bags are very cheap and usually break open. Either buy better quality bags or mandate personal totes.

I thought I'd just grabbed a bum cart, but the tiled flooring really creates that noise. The lay-out is bizarre. Like, you wade through the produce section to get to the rest of the store, and then it's impossible to get out through that same entrance to exit after you check out. Or maybe there's a path, but I had to push my creaky cart downhill in the snow all the way back to my car and almost got hit by several cars zipping along that same route. I'll give this store another try, because I was told by coworkers this is the cheapest option in town for groceries, but it was too massive, crowded and noisy for me. And I don't think the prices were great, even with the app I downloaded.

The parking…read moregarage was full, so we had to park on the street--which should've been our first clue to turn around, but we didn't. Inside, it was shoulder-to-shoulder with shoppers. That said, we managed to grab a few items we wanted, and the checkout line moved surprisingly fast. We picked up the Pad See Ew, Paneer Masala with Rice, and a couple of ice creams. Everything we tried was tasty, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the frozen Pad See Ew was. The portion size is on the smaller side, but at $4-5, it's a solid value. Note to self: avoid Trader Joe's on weekends; weekday trips are much better.

Trader Joe's is a national grocery chain that still manages to feel like a neighborhood store. Most…read moreproducts are their own private label, and you'll find a strong selection of organic produce, vegan options, and even fresh flowers and succulents right at the entrance. The back of the store has a nice beer and wine section--think Whole Foods-style offerings but at lower prices. For example, a six-pack of beer for just $4.99 isn't the best tasting, but at that price, it's hard to complain. Here's my biggest tip: avoid this store on weekends. I made the mistake of visiting on a Sunday around noon, and it was chaos. The underground parking garage holds maybe 20 cars, and the line to get in stretched onto the street. I ended up parking on the street in the neighborhood two blocks away, which wasn't terrible, but once inside, it was a different story. Every register line had 20-30 people, stretching all the way to the back of the store. Overall, Trader Joe's offers great prices and unique finds, but unless you enjoy battling crowds, I'd recommend going on a weekday.

They have a nice deli with a sushi offering that is quite nice. It seems that the products that can be locally sourced, are. The self-checkout works well but they also have at least one humanoid-run checkout. There are a lot of products I will never buy, but I am satisfied with those that I have.

Initially things went well, we always got what we needed. We have stopped to shop and asked to have whole cold cuts and cheese sliced when there, but they did not have staff on hand to do it. These days we get asked to call ahead, never used to have to do that, what has changed? Often times we buy on the spot so don't have time to call ahead or drive back. Staff is mostly always nice, professional, store well appointed and clean. However, we started running into not being able to items we normally were able to get, sale items were out of stock when we drove the distance to get there. This doesn't help when you count on a service to help you meet regular needs, so we ended up going back to competitors more now that we have had better luck with. We will still use them, but we are much more careful and don't assume things will be readily available. Not sure if its corporate or management changes locally, but it used to be seamless. Don't advertise if you can't deliver the goods!
