I saw the meter maid on patrol both when I got here and when I left. They are ruthless! The market is cool and while I was here to see the Arabia (only here until November than then going... they don't know where) but I took the time to walk around and to get a coffee at the unimaginatively named City Market Coffee House. The cortado was more flat white but it was tasty and delicious and it was nice to sit for a bit and people watch before heading to the riverboat. Lots of other food and drink options here and shopping too. [Review 830 of 2026 - 548 in Missouri - 26011 overall]

The shops are somewhat spread out, so a lot of walking required. Plenty of parking available, first 2 hours are free. Most shops are accessible through indoor hallway, so it's manageable to walk in winter. There are several different types of shops, restaurants, grocery stores are available. There's also a steam boat museum with a gift shop. Among restaurants they had Arabian, Brazilian, Indian, Vietnamese, Mexican, Ethiopian, Filipino and a Pizza place. All these places were small shops with limited seating area. There was one boba tea store and a Dutch flower shop as well. We spent over an hour exploring different shops. We bought some souvenir goods from here. All the staff members and associates were friendly and helpful. I wish there was better heating in the passage way, especially the restaurant and grocery stores wing.

They have to know this is going to irritate some people, that aren't able to get there early enough before the freebie runs out. When I found out, that they were out of the freebie item, I brought my grocery cart up to the customer service and let them put everything back. They never apologized, they just said, too bad. I'm not sure if anyone really reads these, because there doesn't seem to be any changes.

The staff are always super friendly. They have a deli, a little hot bar area, sushi, bakery, floral, meat counter, and even an urgent care. The prices are in line or lower than other stores (At least in 2024 terms). I realize it's a grocery store and there's only so much you can review but I have a couple of good examples that show the excellence of the employees. 1. I was in the produce section and had some lettuce in my cart. One of the produce associates saw it and asked if I wanted that particular type of lettuce. He explained that it was starting to rust and that he could grab me some fresher heads. He went to the back, found me in the store, and swapped out my lettuce. Super above and beyond. 2. I was walking out of the store with my purchase and a bottle of wine I bought fell out of the bag and fell onto the ground outside. It was totally my fault. I put it in there and didn't do a great job-clearly. An associate was outside and went to grab some stuff to clean up the glass. When she came back outside, she instructed me to go to customer service so that they could get me another bottle. They didn't charge me for the replacement. Again, it was my mistake and they didn't have to do that at all. If you live in the area, definitely check them out.

After living in Lawrence for almost 10 years, I wasn't aware The Merc expanded and added a location…read morein Kansas City, Kansas. Opening in August of 2020, during the thick of a global pandemic must have been difficult. Nonetheless this community made it happen! Unfortunately this location will be closing permanently in 7 days so this review feels differently to write, but I wanted to make sure I took time out before the end of the year to recognize an amazing business concept. The Merc Co+Op is more than your average grocery store, unlike corporate chains they are completely independent owned by the community that shops there (and by you, if you choose). The first storefront opened in 1975 in downtown Lawrence with just one employee and a committed group of volunteer member owners. Over the last 50 years, The Merc Co+Op has grown from a single employee to a staff of nearly 100. The Merc Co+Op provides our community a place to shop, gather, eat, and learn by offering real food and sustainable products at reasonable prices through cooperative ownership and responsible commerce. From the kitchen use to the classroom events this space was needed and I'm glad the Merc saw this vision through. Unfortunately, I believe that with the pandemic and the economy right now it's hard for families to afford making an entire meal with the prices local farmers charge. Maybe this concept would've been better in a different location? Although, I live in the KC metro area July was my first and last visit because it seems out of the way compared to other stores I have to grocery shop as well. It could be a number of things, but it doesn't make it any less painful to let go of a great place! I really hope this isn't the end of the The Merc Co+Op franchise, but a pause before something new and just as meaningful blossoms. I hope this review is a moment to recognize everything this business means to many of us. The impact, memories and community won't disappear with the doors of this location closing. Thank you trying your best and creating opportunities for us to have food that is nourishing to our bodies. Forever grateful!!!

As a Lawrence resident in the mid '90's, I loved shopping at The Merc. They have finally opened…read moretheir 2nd store in downtown KCK, and although it is not extremely close to where I live, I was excited to see them come to town. Being a Co-op they are able to keep their prices reasonable and able to support local growers, ranchers and manufacturers. I saw many "local" signs around the store and some great prices. They are fairly small - similar in size to an Aldi, yet contain as many departments as a large Hy-Vee - Butcher, flowers, deli, cafe, eating area, bakery and even a classroom for ongoing events and classes. Just like Trader Joe's for me, this will be a destination store that I won't hesitate to drive a few extra miles to visit. Plenty of parking in a private lot and just a couple of blocks off of I-70.

It wouldn't have been a big deal if the manager had helped check people out after most of them had been waiting for over 30 minutes in line. Two people were in front of me and wanted to buy alcohol and a bag of dog food I think? They wound up leaving because the manager told them "we can't check you out here." I would like to say, that is entirely false because I have been checked out at that counter a couple of times. They just didn't want to. And the people in front of me were understandably upset and left without their cart of items. It was after the upset customer left that this manager finally came to help. She walked off several times. She kept yelling at people to back up because the line started at the corner. This whole situation could have been avoided if they had two people at this counter from the start. There were 4 other people taking care of online orders back there. In response to Tara J.: As someone that used to work at walmart, I can tell you they do drug test BUT ONLY in the hiring process. Once you work there, they don't care unless it inhibits your ability to perform tasks. I had pneumonia and they fired me because I didn't make it into work. I was stopped across the street from Walmart by a lady because I was in uniform, about to walk across but I was actively throwing up and they didn't care that I was sick. Ended up in the ER.

I love Aldi. I really do. If this location sold alcohol, it…read morewould get 5 stars. As others have pointed out, Aldi is owned by the family that owns Trader Joe's. Many of the products they sell are the same thing, but with different labels. This grocery store helps plug the gaping hole of shopping options in downtown and the near downtown neighborhoods. Items are cheap. Produce is generally fresh and high quality. Meat choices are good and the quality is high. Aldi carries a great selection of cheese, including many gourmet varieties for a decent price. German specialty foods that come in are usually yummy. I love, love their frozen spaetzle meals (like gourmet German mac and cheese) and their savory artichoke tortes, for example. Worried about the neighborhood? I've never, ever experienced anything but friendly and kind people here, of all races, ages and nationalities. Good cart karma is a frequent practice here - wherein people sacrifice their quarter deposit and share their cart with an arriving shopper. Just be sure to pay it forward. Checkers are super fast and efficient. I'm thankful there's a downtown option to compete with Cosentino's high prices and Grand Slam's limited selection of actual grocery items. Shoppers - bring your debit card or cash. No checks or credit cards are accepted here.

I debated writing this review as something is clearly wrong with the security Tweedle Dee and…read moreTweedle Dum (working today, August 20 at around 3pm). They nearly stalked me my entire time at this store, in numerous isles. I finally finished shopping and proceeded to the checkout. Tweedle Dum went up to the cashier (who had just finished checking out the person in front of me) as I continued to unload my groceries on the conveyor belt. The cashier hands over person-in-front-of-me's receipt as Tweedle Dum simultaneously asks him, "are you checking out people here? are you open?" as if i'm cosplaying preparing to pay for my groceries. I should have said something to him but obviously there was something wrong with him. Avoid this place. Wanted to save a few bucks on groceries but it is not worth the treatment. Would much rather spend more money at Whole Foods and skip the profiling.

This place was so weird…read more The guy at the register seemed like, hungover or something, and it just... took him a while... I hope he wasn't having a mini stroke. The item I purchased rang up at a higher price than what it said on the shelf. Never a good sign. Everything was really expensive, except for a few things on sale - like, I managed to find a single-serve yogurt on sale for $2.50 instead of $4.59. They have some bulk herbs and teas, but the selection is very, very limited. They have a couple water dispensers in back which is nice, but there's no price listed anywhere. I really want this kind of place to survive..... but it's just so pricey; and then the service wasn't great either.
