Grey and dark brown meat yummy.New owners are awful. Used to have good meat. Now all is old and package too long

Nice store but a lot of expired products. Just check dates, shouldn't have to but it is what it is.

After leaving Clive, I heard the news that I just missed massive showers and flooding in La Vista and Council Bluffs - if I had left a day later - I would be looking for another route! I stopped in Princeton IL for gas and wanting to avoid another bad pizza, thought I would stop in the grocery store I passed to see if I could come up with some healthy local produce for lunch later. I was shocked: not only was most of the stuff in the store packaged, including the fresh produce, there was not a single item in the produce section (that I could see) that was local. Seriously? We're in Illinois in AUGUST and you can't tell me that they aren't growing fresh, delicious tomatoes somewhere around there - right? Most of the produce was from Chile (isn't it WINTER there?), Mexico and California. You couldn't just buy a handful of greenbeans - they were swathed in shrink wrap on a styrofoam tray. The kids at the cash register told me that Sullivan's is the last grocery store in town - the others have all folded due to competition from Wal-Mart for grocery dollars. There is a farmer's market, but they weren't sure when it was or where it was - but they were pretty sure that there was something. Little did I realize that this was just the tip of the iceberg of my grocery store/local produce experiences on this trip. read more

Been telling the new manager over and over again also asst. manager plus store employees that prices are constantly wrong shelf says one register says about $2 or $4 higher. I started taking pics of shelf to cashier well I'm done after Thursday night shopping stop. Kid behind register got upset and irritated having to change price to shelf price one was 6.59 to 8.99 other was 4.99 to 5.99.. Then has nerve to say in smart a** reply you have a great night.

Just sad I will pass along to people as well see if they get it in their head losing business. read more

I was very pleased with the cupcakes, that I received from Sullivan's. They turned out absolutely beautiful. The white chocolate stars made them even better! The employee that made them went above and beyond. I highly recommend Sullivan's bakery for all your baked goods. Especially if it is for a baby shower!!! read more

Sullivan's Foods - Princeton - Grocery Near Me - Princeton, Illinois

I don't like shopping where things are crammed in the aisles and Sullivan's has that "old time" grocery store experience where the staff is friendly and helpful. At the same time, they have the latest products available. They have a great deli and bakery too! I would rather pay a little more than the "box store" for the service and professionalism. read more

I work in Princeton but live out of town. I wanted to take advantage of their meat sale, but didn't have anywhere to put it while I am at work. I had somewhere to be right after work, so I couldn't stop after work to do my shopping. My mom used to be in a similar situation where she would commute to work to a different town that had a Hy-Vee. She said when Hy-Vee had good sales, she would do her shopping on her lunch and they would hold it for her until she got off work, and suggested I ask Sullivan's if they would be willing to do the same. I called and asked and they told me no, but were also pretty rude about it. If it's that big of an issue and you can't do that for me, I get it, but there's no reason to get an attitude about a simple request. read more

Live in Princeton and would like to say that while previous reviewer couldn't get directions to the Farmers Market there - well, why should she expect their employees direct customers elsewhere (BTW there is one but I won't say where). As for Sullivan's .. just bought a couple of their specially produced "Cheesey" burgers and some fresh baked Kaiser rolls along with a bottle of red wine and salad. Popped the burgers on the grill and in no time had an 'adult' meal that would have cost at least twice the price, probably more in any decent restaurant (we are not talking McD's or any of your other fast food joints either folks). So .. if its quality food and a decent price, you can't beat Sullivan's IMO read more

Regular grocery store with all the grocery necessities. I went for a birthday cake hoping they had some with whipped topping, only a few to choose from. A very nice selection for a great price though. I saw they had a deli full of different types of salads and foods that you can take by the pound and what not. Other than that it was a pretty small store. They had a little discount section that I thought was cute because of the variety of merchandise they had there. Employees were super nice & quick to help me. Everything you need in a grocery store so it was half bad. read more

I think Jenn C does not understand just how bad grocery stores here in the Midwest are stocked. Yes, there is a farmer's market in Princeton, IL, but only for 1 morning per week. Otherwise we get stuck with produce shipped in from other countries so that we can pay more for the gas, transportation, packaging, etc. The kinds of fresh foods she was looking for are generally found in the higher priced suburbs of Chicago at WholeFoods. This is not Sullivan's, nor any other independent grocers' fault. The problem lies in how the state's laws are written, and IL law takes the economy at a much, much higher premium than people's health. California, with it's very rich and powerful celebrities can demand higher quality foods via their laws. Remember, more than one Hollywood actor became governor of California. As far as Sullivan's is concerned, it's good to have them as an alternative to Walmart. They offer some foods and services such as delivery to shut ins that is very helpful. The people in there have always been very nice and polite. The aisles are clean and well stocked. They have good sales, though their prices are usually a little bit higher than Walmart, but the trade off is good customer service and they treat their workers well. One thing I'd recommend - have Sullivan's offer some of their expired food which is otherwise still good to members of the community in need. I believe there was a law passed in 1996 which disallows stores from any culpability should someone get sick from expired food. Overall, there are many in the community in need, who are too proud to ask, but the need exists. Perhaps they could do this, and make it discreetly known, maybe to the shut ins, disabled, and through the local churches. Not everyone in need gets government assistance. read more
