Yummy deli sandwiches at the ready or prepped while you wait. Stop in and say hello. Ask if you don't find what you need at Cork's neighborhood grocery store 😊

They sell pre-made sandwiches for super cheap. They are good for a quick lunch. They have a lot of good items for cheap prices.

I go to corks almost every Monday cuz I have a parent meeting thing at the food bank and used to go all the time as a kid, it's nice for stopping the get a quick snack. Pretty well organized and would 100% recommend the 1919 on tap and the pickles they are absolutely amazing. A little scary looking when you first start to go there ot it really is such a good place

Chuck and all of the staff there at corks are a blessing to everybody there in our neighborhood. They have not only carried on the local neighborhood store tradition, but they have gone above and beyond making shopping at corks a pleasurable experience. Stopping in at corks for a quick convenience item, a few days groceries, or even just a soda and a pack of smokes, is like stopping in to see an old friend. No matter who's on staff, or what customers fill the aisles, shopping at corks is like visiting an old friend's house. Fun, friendly conversation while you shop.

Always friendly atmosphere kind of vibe, helpful employees. Been shopping at Corks since I was a baby boy. It's hard to find good townfolk these days. You can count on it there.

Very friendly neighborhood service, as well as polite customers. I didn't even have to verbalize my order and miss Heather knew by signing, what I required, patience.. sometimes patience goes a long ways. Thanks girls @ Corks!?

Normally I like Cork's. Apparently they hired a new gal. She was behind the meat counter. I needed roast beef. She just stared at me and didn't ask if I needed help.?????? How rude. Finally i asked someone else if she worked there. After that she helped me.

I like this store because you can find foods that they sell down south and no other stores sell here.

actually a pretty good variety of items you can't really get at other Mini Marts. The few gals that I've dealt with in there are awesome real friendly even though they treat me like the red headed step child.

So just left corks and i experienced the absolute worst costumer service. I asked the lady behind the meat counter if she could make a sandwich . She give me a nasty look and says "no this aint subway". I was shocked i said "what! Look you dont have to be rude a simple no would of been fine". I went on telling her a good piece of my mind and she eventually walks away and the other employees/ the owner says "you dont have to argue with them"(referring to me and my boyfriend who btw never said a word) and yall can leave my store!" I said fine i have no problem leaving but you should tell your employees to be more respectful to people and maybe people would respond better!" So i go home and called and spoke to the owner she defends this disgusting behavior of her employee to no end making all kinds of excuses for her like( oh she's new etc). She also claims of course she ONLY heard MY response and not her bad attitude having employees rude comments! I told her yes after your employee was rude and nasty for no reason yes i gave her a piece of my mind! She can't talk to people any kind of way and not expect them to defend themselves! She then tells me she'll talk to her, but i could of responded different and that id get more bees with honey. I responded you're right i could have and she could've kept her nasty rude comments to herself and its shocking your staff feels comfortable talking to your customers in that manner! I go there all the time and never had issues or been talked to that way. I dont like the way i was spoken to and i dont like the way i was blamed for that rude nasty girls behavior! For it was totally unwarranted. I felt personally demoralized and attacked for no reason! I will not shop there ever again and i recommend no one else to either! The way some costumer service reps talk to people patronising their businesses is deplorable . It has to stop i shouldn't leave a business feeling verbally insulted for no reason! For asking a simple question? Until consumers take a stand this dysfunction will continue i will not patronize any place that is disrespectful to me and i will speak out and encourage others to do the same! I know im only one person but its better to speak out than just let it happen.

Corks appears exactly like what it is... a privately owned, low-income, neighborhood grocery/convenience store. There is a small Deli where you can purchase sliced meat and cheeses, some frozen foods and meats, snacks, candy, and some basic grocery needs as well as tobacco and alcohol products. Not a lot of product choices but a little of everything you could use. Prices are higher than Walmart or Hyvee, more in line with Caseys. I gave it two stars instead of three, mainly because the store and exterior property could be cleaner and I was worried about leaving my car unattended while I was inside.

The Folks who Knows You By A Name or A regularly purchased Product... My Brother David Lee Weekley (RIP) Was or actually Is Still Known As The ToMatoer, It has been 7yrs Since his Death.... I have to admit that I have always Felt that Same "Love" that Surrounded Us When David Would be in the Store courting Everyone. Thanks again Chuck For All Your Time And Attention not to Mention the Hole 💓 You Continue to Mindfully Serve All Who Walk thru the Door.... Awesomeness
