My friend told me about this store, thought I'd check it out. 1st & 2nd time going. Prices were great /better on some things, more expensive on others, has some name brand stuff but just like all other stores, depending on what you buy prices are different at all. Great sales prices & deals, which they have often on so many items. Would go back again just a little further away than the stores I go to. read more

I love coming to Value. However the last time I purchased some Honey Buns, when I opened up the box a number of the individual snacks were already opened, which made them hard. I am sure that this is a result if the company that packaged them. read more

Value Center Market - Honey buns open packages - Grocery Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

I shop here all the time, and because of medical issues I always have to use the restroom. I have requested to management that is just outside of the restroom, 3 times to wash the filthy door handle. Its just nasty. After u wash your hands you look at this disgusting door handle. Again I have asked 3 times now just to be ignored. It makes me question the cleanliness of the meat and deli area. read more

Value Center Market - Grocery Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

I returned to VALUE CENTER (6 Mile/Inkster strore) to inquire about getting the matter resolved and refund/replacement of the food item. I also asked of how I would be compensated for the inconvenience. Possibly a discount on another, and/or replacement item and maybe one for free. I was not offered either after speaking to the Manager, after having asked for the owner who I see there sometimes. My intention was to purchase a few more that day anyway. I've been a patron over a decade and spend up to a few hundred dollars each visit. Iwill NO LONGER SHOP here nor, advise anyone else to. Otherwise you will shop at VALUE CENTER where the customer is NOT VALUED. My family and friends will also no longer support the buisness. read more

I grew up in this area but moved to California 30 years ago because I'm a health nut and needed to be in an area that supported my healthy habits. Now, visiting for the Winter, I am feeling way out of my healthy zone! This store has little as far as healthy alternatives to unhealthy food. I didn't see any non dairy ice cream alternatives and there are plenty of brands to choose from. So Delicious (made with coconut milk) is one of the best but it was nowhere to be found. Healthy alternatives in their frozen pizza section, nothing to be found for me. Lots of processed food throughout the store though! I was surprised because places like Meijer and Costco are offering more and more organic, vegan, gluten free options. Needless to say, I was disappointed in this store. The huge produce section has a tiny "organic" section with everything wrapped in plastic! Ick! I am perplexed that people think fresh produce with a bunch of chemicals sprayed on them is good. Then again, I come from an area where the entire produce section is organic. The store seems clean and well stocked and the cashiers seemed pleasant, I just wish they included more healthy, organic, non GMO, non dairy options! It's time to get with it guys! read more

Value Center Market - a variety of fruits and vegetables - Grocery Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

Employees are very helpful and friendly. Food is fresh and well stocked. I always buy my meat there. The quality of there meat is great. Very clean store. I have been shopping there for years. Happy Holidays to all employees at Val Center! read more

Cool, this Value Center Market sold Sanders bumpy cakes and a whole variety of them too: chocolate fudge, vanilla buttercream and caramel. I went to Meijer in Northville the other day and they didn't have them there. Like other grocery stores, this market had different sections in it for fresh baked goods, fruits, frozen items, and different aisles for chips, drinks, cereal, pasta, etc. I especially loved the wide variety of Faygo drinks I could find here, especially with me being from the San Francisco Bay Area; you don't see Faygo over there. From this market, I also tried their Ali Baba's garlic sauce which was pretty good and you could find it in the refrigerated section of the store; the garlic sauce itself was more on a lemon-y side than garlicky, but it went very well with pita breads or if you wanted to use it as a spread on a sandwich also. read more

Value Center Market - Faygo pop galore! - Grocery Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

Used to be our go to grocery store but ever since they remodeled they jacked up their prices and now we only go for sale items if that. Also, when we get ground beef here, it can barely last a day or so in the fridge and it smelled sour when I opened it. Took it back and the jerk running the meat area said there's nothing wrong with it and he'd feed it to his family! It was turning color and smelled SOUR! We live around the corner from them so it went right home and into our fridge. This isn't the first time we got sour meat from this store but it was the first time complaining and they obviously didn't give a rat's ass. read more

It has been a while since I shopped here on a regular basis. The store has grown and looks beautiful inside. They have a larger selection now. With that this was a supermarket that was easy on the wallet but still good quality. You are getting the same great quality but at a more expensive price. Not sure if that is because everyone is raising prices, not sure. The one thing I miss was this was the place to get chicken at a lower everyday price when compared to Kroger and Meijer, today not so much. Would I shop where again. Yes and I have. I just don't expect a cheaper bill then when I shop at other chain supermarkets. read more

Probably the worst grocery store in Michigan. The products contained brands I've never heard of in all my 26 years of life. The store itself was hard to even step in without being eyeballed by a staff. If I were you I'd just go to a Kroger or a Walmart. read more

Expired foods, rude employees. Avoid this market. The sale items usually are soon to expire. Within days. This is the closest grocery store to where I'm at but I happily drive past it to other places like Stans on Five Mile or Kroger to give my business to a place that treats their customers with common sense and dignity. read more

After purchasing around $100 worth of groceries from this store. I arrived home and several hours later my son told me that I had purchased milk that was one day past expiration date. I called the store and spoke with an associate that agreed to replace the milk (even though I had already thrown out the sales receipt). The following day I came back to the store with my still unopened milk to make the exchange. I was repeatedly told by the manager that I should have the receipt and that now he could not get his money back from the supplier. Not once did I receive an apology from anyone other than the original person I spoke with on the phone. The cashier told me twice that I should have kept the receipt. Which I replied that they should not be selling expired products and that this was a learning experience for everyone. She even said that I may not even have bought it from there. Which may be the most ridiculous thing that she actually thinks people have nothing better to do with their time and energy . I think the employees here need some customer service training. Treating customers like criminals over 3.99 is terrible and they just managed to make me a person that will not be giving this market any of my money from now. read more

Great store.. Plenty of cashier, lots of sales, fresh produce, and deli... Friendly and helpful employees. read more

Rude snotty cashier, got up in my face, pointing her finger at me, making racist remarks. Told me to take my business elsewhere. I've been a big fan of this store for several years now, but I'll take the nasty cashier's advice, and give my business to a store that appreciates their customers. read more

I been shopping at VC for many years but lately the staff has been very rude and useless when I needed help at the self checkout, the person that was supposed to be helping just stands with arms crossed. I couldn't see a code and she said next time you come to the store bring your eye glasses, seriously, I just needed help with one little thing that wasn't showing in the screen picture, she didn't know what to do and I know there was a code but, she had to give me a lecture. I didn't want to pay for the wrong item.I was the only person at the self checkout. Then I called the customer service and suppose to be talking to the manager and he was rude as well, he started yelling at me and questioning if there were many customers , that wasn't the point. The staff has no customer skills!!!! read more

Expired food STAY OUT. I bought three full packages of chicken wings. Close to $50 worth. They arent supposed to expire for 7 more days and they all smell like rot!!! Worse part, cant return them without receipt or value plus member number being entered at the pos. read more

I waited a half hour to get waited on at the deli then was told I had to wait some more because a slicer wasn't available. There is 7 slices and 3 girls working at that time however only 2 slices were in use. I figure they did not open additional slicers because they didn't want to clean them. I brought this to mgt attention a young guy with a ponytail and his response to me was a blank stare and he couldnt fix the situation because he didn't know how the deli was run. It doesn't take a genius to get someone who knows how to fix the problem. I am a long time shopper there but I wont be back period. read more

Fantastic store! I shop at the Livonia location and never had a problem with shortages or missing item, store is always well stocked and very clean. Employees are always friendly and helpful. I choose this store over any chain grocery store read more

This is one of my favorite local grocery stores. It isn't very large, but they have a great selection of groceries. It isn't the cheapest store, but this is my go-to place for when I need something small while I'm cooking. It carries fresh herbs, has a good variety of fresh produce, and has a good deli counter. The chicken pot pies from the deli area are delicious. read more

Been a regular customer here for the last 7 years and never had any problems. But the last few times I been in here, the employees have been rude towards me and others. Will never give this place another dollar. read more

I love this store! Clean fresh foods and friendly folk. Been shopping here for 15 years. Prior to that shopped at same market when it was on Ryan and 9 mile. Good reasonable cost. Especially at deli. Often fantastic sales, so be sure to check the flyer. Recently renovated so store was in disarray. However asking staff for help finding things made the renovation bearable. Nice selection and variety of foods. I gave it a 4 because the veggies and fruits are a little higher than at fruit market but overall I can't complain. I'd also like to see them give people with disabilities an opportunity to work there even if it's just bagging and stocking. read more

I mainly go to Value Center if I need something quick as it is the closest place to my house, but it is definitely not my first choice when it comes to doing my normal grocery shopping routine. Their Milk prices are usually around a dollar more then everywhere else and you need to make sure you check the expiration date on anything perishable you buy from there. My wife and I had gone there not too long ago to get a few things and saw Mayonnaise that was 10 for $10.00 and was shocked at how cheap it was. It was a steal so of course we were going to buy a couple and store them away. Well I grabbed one and happened to look at the expiration date. You know the reason it was so cheap? It had expired two weeks ago! Instead of throwing away the product and taking a loss it seems they'd rather sell it and make something back even if it meant making their customers sick. It wasn't just that one time I have found discounted items that were expired. Just yesterday I ran in there to get some hamburger buns and they had the Hillshire Farms Deli Select lunchmeats that are normally around $3.00 per container, but they had them selling 5 for $5.00. When I checked the date on those they all had expired too anywhere from a day to a week ago. It is a shame because they do have a decent selection, are friendly, fast and close by. I will continue shopping there as needed, but will be cautious and always check the expiration date on everything I buy. read more

love this store don't shop anywhere else and I work there have a lot of great employees that I call friends read more

This store. The set up is terrible. It seems like they just put anything anywhere. I can never find what I need easily and God forbid you ask a staff member for help, they do not look at you or answer when you speak to them. Service is less than stellar. Everyone seems so unhappy to be working there. My last visit iced the cake. The girl who cashed me out didn't say a word to me, had the nastiest flakes falling from her extremely greasy, clearly unwashed hair.... which she kept touching! Hello, you're working with food here! Cleanliness isn't something that they stress with the staff, nor is friendliness. I always feel that I've interrupted the cashiers day by going thru her line. I try not to go to this store, I can't stand the unfriendly staff. It's very close to my home so sometimes I have to stop in for a quick item but I'd rather drive to Kroger. read more

Be careful when shopping here...if the price is good check the expiration date. The deli is great and they usually ask/show you how your deli meat is sliced. I like it very thin and 99% of the time that's the way it's cut...meat department is ok also. Good beer prices The rest of the store is not competitive in pricing. To save money be sure to shop around. read more

I love going to the store in Livonia. The store is always clean. The staff are always friendly and helpful. It's possible to get really good prices on things if you keep your eyes open. I will always have this market on my list of places to shop. read more

I've only shopped here a few times but as others have said it is a bit on the pricey side. I do give their deli counter 5 stars though. Their prepared food selection is large and they have some unique salads. What they really don't advertise is that every "sale" item requires their club card. When I approached the register they asked if I had one, I said no. Cashier replies that's ok... Didn't offer to sign me up for one or anything like that. At least at Meijer if it says 10 for $10 and you only get 1 you still get it for the price of the 10 for $10. Not here, you need to buy 10 to get the sale. I'm going to stick to the bigger stores. They have negotiated better prices with suppliers and that trickles down to the customer. The same can not be said about Value Center. read more

I moved from redford and miss this place! Yes, some 10/10 items have just gone off exp date or was very close to but that didn't bother me as I knew to check them before hand..the deli department is outstanding and I think the prices are cheaper than kroger especially on meats.. The employees are always happy and helpful.. Sometimes I will do the 35 - 45 minute drive just because I want cheesecake from the deli!! read more

A truly wonderful food store! The prices are not the best on everything but no store is. We live down the street so we are there every week and even though they often have more customers in the store than the major grocery stores, I have never had to wait more than a few minutes to check out. Clearly check out time is a priority with Value Center. Today we were in Walmart and there were 15 people waiting to check out with 2 checkers. After 30 minutes in line we got out. We then went to Value Center because of a sale they had. They had 16 people waiting to check out and 6 checkers. Walmart checkers see their job as socializing with co-workers, Value Center checkers see their job to get you through the line as fast as possible. I love this store and many of their prices do beat Walmart. All stores have great sale prices and others that are not. You have to pay the bills. Currently they are expanding and I hope they don't loose what keeps us coming back. read more

I don't understand some of the reviews, this place is great! Sure you have to watch prices, but they beat Walmart and Kroger in many things. The place is small there is no doubt and always packed with people, but they ALWAYS have plenty of checkers at the check stand. We go there every week and never have had to wait for more than one person in line. I guess the thing I like best about Value Center Market other than it being walking distance from the house is always every employee is happy and they make me feel good I give them my business. I have found no match in Michigan for the way I get served with a smile and joy. Put up with the small space and watch the prices, but this joint is a great experience! read more

This is my new place. I got sick of waiting in long lines at a large grocery retailer nearby that shall remain unnamed but rhymes with "buyer". I go here for almost everything. Their sale prices blow every other store out of the water. My recommendation is to go without a specific grocery list in mind, because if you need specifics you'll pay too much. There is always a cashier, the store is clean, and they have a good variety of groceries. The only thing is occasionally items are expired. If that bothers you, pay attention. I also wish they had a bigger variety of produce. read more

Nice market close my house. Clean , fresh market.Fast friendly service

I am not a shopper. I am a CEO, so I delagate that horrible chore to my husband, who loves to shop. He clips coupons, and makes lists, it's a great hobby for him. When he does drag me the along, the only place I will consider is Value Center. They get you in and out fast, you don't stand in line forever, and my husband knows every checkout person there cause he is there everyday. It was a place of employment for my son when he was a young teen, and it's been a part of our family food gathering for over a decade. My husband says the prices are great, and he would know, he is one of those that know the prices of everything. I just put things in the cart, never look at the price, and get outta there. So looking for a good market? Try Value Center. read more

This store has always doubled coupons. I went today and they have changed their coupon rules. They will only double the coupons found in the paper. People like me who print MANUFACTURED coupons off of Coupons.com will not be doubled. If the coupon clearly states MANUFACTURED coupon it should not matter. Will be my last trip to this store. read more

I recently moved to Redford and Value Center is extremely close. I prefer to drive to Kroger but just as others have stated sometimes you just need a quick item. I do not like the fact that they sell frozen chicken breast because that just means their is a ton of chicken sitting in the back, also NEVER buy anything that's on sale in there because 10 times out of 10 it's expired. I advise people to always check the date on whatever you purchase from this store. read more

Such a drop from just a few months ago. I have shopped here for years and was very satisfied with the store and staff. Now I can report the store is still well stocked and clean but the staff gets a D rating. Especially supervisor Vinnie(not certain that is her real name). Had a problem at the recycle center, only one of three can recyclers was working. Two employees were standing right by the line forming at the single opening for cans and got an attitude when my son and I asked them to get someone to empty the full bins. Their response was,"We are on break". I was only asking them to call someone to empty the bins. Vinnie showed up and her contribution was that the employees were on break! Obviously she was not interested in helping just making certain the employees break time was protected. She never confronted them about their aggressive attitude or lack of assistance. There are too many markets in Redford and Livonia for me to go to VCM and be disrespected! Too bad! Let me just mention we were not in the long line. We had the only bin that was not full! read more

Excellent meat selection with well rounded quality, Superb deli counter. Everything else is over priced, and beware of sale items that are expired or near expiration,(please read Tim K. review, for this is very true). read more

Great deli department. Produce is good and the meat is pretty good as well. I'm not a fan of the Spartan store, but this is a great little mom-and-pop market. I live closer to Hiller's (Plymouth location) and Busch's (Livonia) but make the drive to 6/Inkster for this little hidden gem. Parking is not bad and I NEVER have to wait in long lines OR bag my own groceries! read more

I have had it with this store. They have been reconstructing the store most of the year and that's great but I wish they would have more people that work there around who knew where they have moved the products to...I went looking for the philly-steaks having never buying them there before and asked a young man stocking the freezer where they're at and he had no clue, nor was he going to go ask one of his co-workers where they're at; he went in the backroom and never came back out. I spoke with a short white haired woman who I've always seen working there and she said with smart -a** connotations "they're in the meat section! They've always been in the meat section!" I said well you're moving everything around so I don't know where to look and she just goes on about how they're always in the meat section. I would've said something at customer service but no one was back there...so I'm done with this place...Their prices ARE ridiculous even though I DO like their deli but it's not worth it when employees are not kind. read more

I agree with Tim. When I shop at Value Center I check all expiration dates on EVERYTHING I buy there. I find a lot of items are expired and even one time found the expiration dates were scraped off of the plastic containers of Del Monte fruit! This week I found Oscar Mayer bacon that expired two weeks ago. Still I continue to shop there because it is the closest store to me. read more
