Central Grocery

DO NOT BUY VAPES FROM THIS PLACE. They are knock offs and will either make you sick, taste burnt, or run out after only a few puffs. The prices are also RIDICULOUSLY high, especially for food being bought from ALDI. They’ll buy .75 cent bread and turn it around selling it for almost $3.00. It’s a huge rip off and waste of your money if your coming for something as simple as a gallon of milk, or a block of cheese. Just go buy it from an actual store. I see multiple items expired every time I go even after I noticed they rotated it. The store is hot and every. single. time. I go, I have people outside begging and even following me into the store for money. The manager is very rude too. I’ll never be back. Zero stars really.

This is the go-to grocery in downtown. The prices really aren't that unreasonable for not being a supermarket and the service is good. A bit dirty however but not bad. Because there aren't any other grocery stores in the area, of course, poor people also go there but so what. They have a little of everything and that is very useful. I have never seen beggars outside.I am grateful that they stay open in the downtown.

I just want to express some gratitude that the owners of this store are willing to stay and keep it open until 2AM.These are hardworking people and that's rare nowadays. They deserve all the roses they can get.

This isn't a real grocery store. It's more like a Bodega.These people buy their product from different stores around the area and then mark them up sometimes as high as 100% and resell it. They literally buy $3.99 cat litter from Aldis and turn around and sell it for 6.99. It's ridiculous.If they had any sort of concern for being a vital part of this community, they would buy from wholesalers like any other legitimate grocer instead of reselling other grocery chains product and price gouging in the name of "convenience".The people that live downtown are already largely living in poverty, so it sure would be convenient to finally have a grocery store that saves you money instead of exploiting you.

Wow, this place sucked. Based on other reviews, I was looking forward to visiting a cool little shop to grab some beers and snacks for later in the evening. I was sorely disappointed. There was almost no beer to choose from - a couple mass market domestic brews, and that was it - and it was pretty darn pricey. There was nothing in the 'deli' section to speak of except some tired looking pre-made sandwiches, and the most prominent snacks were some expired convenience store doughnuts.But this wasn't the bad part. The bad part was the jackass working the counter. (Both terms, 'jackass' and 'working' are very kind here.) My friend did buy a pop, and the guy could not have been less friendly, less concerned with customer service, or more annoyed to get off the phone and ring up a purchase. It was really unbelievable.I wanted to like this place; I wish it was likable. I hope they get their act together and turn this into a place worth visiting. The area could use a good shop. This, however, just isn't it.

They're never open on time, customer service is bad, prices are high, and the atmosphere feels less like a grocery store and more like a second hand headshop. If you plan on using your card, there's a $3 minimum fee.Only thing this place is good for is a quick drunken visit, and even then you're better off going somewhere else.Don't come here if you don't have to.

Prices very very very high. Tax on top of groceries. Buys at save u lot marks up very high. Lots of homeless customers begging for money outside and inside of store for you to buy them items yet homeless person really bad in the summer. Homeless even worse in summer time. Be wise and careful lady's always go in two's. Extra careful with purses and wallets. The homeless usually stands outside near the store. Some uses all kinds of family issues for money.

Don't trust the old reviews. The store got new management and the people that own it and work there now are fantastic. Highly recommend. It is still more of a convenience store than a grocery store but they have a lot larger selection than they used to have.

Prices going up more every day. . bread is old bread. Once an item starts selling good up goes the Prices. Beggars not there so much . mini frosted donuts went from 200 to238. Buy them at grocery store cheaper. Pop gone up. What next

They buy from Aldi and Walmart and mark it up. But they are there from 6am to 2am. Blessed. The previous owners left the shelves bare and always lied about things coming in. Love it.

Food seems randomly repacked in inappropriate labels at deli counter. Customers were screaming at each other in line with racial slurs and owner seemed not to care.

Central grocery is the only place downtown that is walk able for groceries. The staff is really nice, but it is a little over priced.

Middle of downtown is its main perk. Cigs, drinks; limited groc. + deli counter.
