This is a very nice local market. The price is on. Everything seemed quite reasonable and the meat counter seem to be good. Deals. Just moved to the area and I'm happy to find a independent grocery that actually seems nice instead of hyvee coupon game

Love this store! They don't carry many plant based items, but they are close and convenient. They are also UPS drop off which is fabulous. They have fresh fruits and vegetables and the staff is helpful and friendly.

Mercer Market used to have the best regular glazed donuts (in the world) for decades. I have never been able to find another glazed donut that compares. However, they have changed it to a different brand/kind. These absolutely suck. The only donut that comes close is the glazed cresent. Is it only me? Please bring back the glazed donut that was sold for decades.

I love my hometown market. Its just sad that prices have to be so high everywhere. Im supporting myself and my 2 others financially all by myself and I struggle to keep food on the table. As soon as minimum wage goes up everything else spikes in price so realistically it defeats the purpose to raise the minimum wage if nothing really changes. Our local markets can't compete at the level a Walmart or other big stores do. Even Walmarts prices in some areas have become steep as well. My kid was begging for a snack and asked for something as simple as string cheese and for just a package of 12 sticks of string cheese was $5.89.89lb of ground round buger was $5.41 I could keep going. I maybe had 10 items in my cart and spent $94.00 thats almost a quarter of my check. I just can't wrap my head around how anyone survives anywhere with the prices of food these days.

Love the staff! Great bakey deli.. But I haven't been able to get decent produce in weeks. The grapes are always moldy. Outdated lettuces rotted tomatoes cucumbers ect. I'd rather see that spot empty than full of rotten produce. I always tell whoever checks me out but they are just kinda like ya we know.

I'm not sure if I will be back to buy groceries here. The cashiers were just standing around talking and not being helpful to each other. I had a discrepancy on the price of an item and the cashier argued with me instead of checking on it or having the cashier behind her check on it who didn't have a customer to wait on. So I just passed on the item. I will buy it later at another store. There is a promotional program running and the cashier didn't mention it. When I brought it up she seemed annoyed. Not that it took a lot of effort on my part, but I had to load my groceries in my own cart. I know that may sound petty, but another paid employee was just standing around doing nothing. I brought all of this up to the manager on duty and he didn't seem concerned. I try to give business to small town stores even though prices are usually higher, but not when I get bad service.

I love this Market, the produce and the meats are always fresh and priced well. We just started shopping here recently and it has become our favorite place. Also, it's clean, well lite and the staff is very friendly.

I think it's great their food is great and up to date ... but they are very over priced and if there was a other store that sold fresh vegetables and meat. I might go there in sted. Just being honest. P.S. the ppl are friendly and helpful

Their fresh produce and meats equal any other grocery store I have visited. And helpful employees.

Extremely friendly staff even if they're very busy if you have a question or need to be shown where something is at they take the time to help. However their meat prices are very high with Covid-19 happening they're blaming it on the meat packing companies not delivering enough meat to them but if you go to other stores in the region their prices have remained constant during the pandemic. I know they're a family owned store but some of their other products are very expensive as well but luckily for the other products I mentioned there is a Walmart right beside them where you can get the products cheaper.

I normally like this store, but I think the new arrows on the floors could be worse than just letting people stay 6 feet apart. I came in for 2 things; I knew exactly where those two things were, but your arrows made me walk through the entire store to get what I wanted! Just doesnt seem like a good idea to me right now.

It's a typical small town grocery store except the employees are scarce and aren't as friendly as others I've been to. You need to watch the meat close because it will be spoiled the day after you buy it, so if you buy a large quantity you can't consume in one meal, freeze the rest. Prices are high,but again it's a small town style grocery store. I stop only if I forget an essential item from my shopping trip in the cities and can't wait till my next trip to the cities.

T heir fruits less than desired. Ive bought grapes, strawberries, blackberries and halo(mandarin oranges) at very high prices. Some of them had either mold on them or were rotten. I've told the owners to no avail. Went back few days later and looked through every bag of the oranges and all but 1bag

Friendly customer service, convenient location, excellent selection, including items produced in the area. Plus - they support local non-profits & youth groups! I shop there every week (usually more than once).

Mercer Market has become our family's first choice for Sunday chicken dinners. Hot and fresh.

For an independent grocery store in a small town, Mercer Market is a very good option. Quality fresh produce and meats, good selection of products and a nice variety of companies represented. Am impressed by this grocery store.

Great selection but small town grocery store prices make it hard to shop here all the time. I usually only go here when I need a quick couple of things that Walmart and Dollar General don't have.

The folks at Mercer Market are always friendly and helpful. A great, local grocery store and cornerstone of the business community in Aledo. Constantly giving back to the community. Shop local!

The meat coolers were down again. Not all produce needs to be refrigerated but some items in produce do and those were under hot lights in a cooler that barely worked. I expect overly priced items in a small town but when you start flirting with selling foods that may not be properly stored then we have a problem.. also there was rotten produce still sitting on the shelf to sell. Eww.

Everything is overpriced. No competition so they can get away with it. I only shop here if I need something quick.

Expensive prices. Definitely shop there sales. I like they have a selection of fresh produce. Otherwise would have to drive to quad cities for decent produce.
