Pacemaker Jr. is THE grocery store in the Durand, IL area. Unless, of course, you want to drive…read moreall the way into Pecatonica or Rockford the next time you are missing a cup of sugar or a stick of butter while you're in the process of cooking dinner. This area of the country is beautiful, acres and acres of tall corn plants and the Lake Summerset gated community with its beautiful lakeside scenery. Unfortunately it is not close to much in the way of shopping, so where are you going to pick up grocery staples or munchies in a hurry? Pacemaker Jr., that's where! Are you bored and looking for entertainment? Check out the redbox DVD rental station just inside the doorway. Are your carpets looking a bit bedraggled? Rent a Rug Doctor here and spruce them up a bit. Now, just in case you think this is a grocery store of last resort, you can buy loaves of bread that were baked right here in the store! They'll even slice them for you if you ask nicely. There is a surprisingly good selection of alcohol here. Now, you're not going to find a cucumber vodka or anything quite that specific, but there are still plenty of options to choose from. The produce selection is not quite as extensive as at Valli Produce, but everything here is fresh, ripe, and looks pretty, and covers most of your basic staples. This close to the Wisconsin border you'd be shocked if they didn't carry a wide variety of dairy items and there are no shockers here. There is even a delicatessen with a variety of premade items if you're not in the mood to cook a full meal. The bakery department is small, but is big enough to produce a variety of different types of bread. It may not look like much from the outside, but Pacemaker Jr. fills an important niche serving this farming community and the towns around it admirably.

And my rosemary and basil starters are all going strong. The meats. Today I picked up some drumsticks to spoil the new (geriatric) pound puppy with. He couldn't believe it, was thrilled. But - where were the dog bones? It's been awhile since I picked up any. Friendly staff person stopped what she was doing. Was cheerful, chatty, accompanied me to the place where they belong. Oops. Nothing there. No problem! Went to check in back. (How really, really nice.) Returned with an armful of fresh, huge bones that any dog could happily spend hours chewing on. Continued with my shopping. Found everything else I needed (of course.) Picked up (my favorite!) jelly donuts. They may be inexpensive, but Woodman's are the best. Filled up with gas. Lately has been consistently less expensive in Beloit (compared to Rockford). Oh! And the NO FEE ATM. T w o of them no less. That is really considerate. And smart. Encourages more shopping in their stores. Woodman's is just the best place to shop. And you feel good shopping there, too. Thank you for respecting folks - your staff and customers.

Employees everywhere and they were all busy. Two standing in the cereal isle discussing rearranging the cereals around. Prices were not bad at all and there were plenty of cashiers so we did not have to wait in any long lines.

A team leader came over, looked in my bags, and placed them in my cart. No Im sorry or I'll take care of it... the checker also had to assure me he never had a complaint against him.

This store is ALWAYS CLEAN…read more However, they are also EXPENSIVE, and the advertised prices on the shelves are different from what comes up at checkout. I have noticed that I "usually" have to pay attention to the price on the shelf vs. the checkout price. Just today, 4/18/26, I bought Mrs. Fisher's potato chips. Price on the shelf: $3.99. (GREAT DEAL - Which is specifically why I BOUGHT THEM). Price at checkout: $4.69. Customer Service was very nice (Symone). Went to check pricing, came back and said: That's for the smaller bag. My reply: Well, THIS size (1.5lb) is sitting behind the $3.99 tag. She gave me a DOLLAR back immediately. I made $.30. No need to get heated, she was wonderful, so big deal, right? My issue is NOT with her. NO. This is my most recent experience. It's happened before, and I always get a bit more in refund than what's truly the difference. However, THIS HAPPENS A LOT with Schmucks. We rarely shop there due to their being expensive, and this "price hike at checkout". This is actually ILLEGAL in Illinois, and Schmucks seems to make a practice of it. BEWARE SHNUCKS CUSTOMERS in DeKALB......you may be paying more than you legally have to.
