Nice supermarket for a smaller town. Good size with big clean open layout. Has good produce and a nice deli. Prices are super spending though.

They actually taste like what I thought krispie Cream doughnuts should have tasted like best Doughnuts in town along with most of the surrounding area. 2nd only to the local Amish, although some disagree. I Recommend the strawberry cream cheese, cookies and cream,choc Bavarian chambered in, long j or classic round.

Prices are high and meat department is questionable. Their ground beef is hard to brown with all the added water! They must be grinding ice in with the beef.Did a price compare with Family Dollar across the street on cooking oil. 48 oz was 3.70 at family Dollar and 6.99 and County Market. I want to shop local but at these prices I need to bring food in from home.

The parking lot is packed snow and ice. I won't go here again this winter. In fact, I don't know if I'll go here again. It's pretty easy to plow and salt and maintain a parking lot. Your prices are higher than competitors, you don't carry out my groceries. There's a much better option down the street.

One checkout open July 1st. 3 out of 4 bags rip on seams after leaving self checkout. Prices on a lot of items inflated shop local ... Hmm

I love the layout of the store but service sucks. I'm old and no help bagging or bringing to car in bad weather. I'm in a handicap parking and there is no place close to bring the cart. I liked it better when it was Dean's.

I travel out of my way to buy their beef sticks and other items from the meat department. Their deli foods are really affordable compared to other grocery stores in rural Minnesota, and I love the layout of the store. Central Market makes Perham feel like home.

We used the Shop Central pick up service in Detroit Lakes and after getting home and unpacking the groceries, I noticed that the lid was off of a deli bacon ranch pasta salad. Another deli item was sitting in the salad, not to mention the mess it made. The label they had attempted to attach to the lid was half peeled off and stuck to the inside of the bag it was in. The lid was probably never seated properly to begin with. Mistakes happen so I called the store to get a credit but was told that I would have to return the item with the receipt into the store for a refund. I explained It's a 30 minute drive and the reason I used the service in the 1st place was to avoid going in and save some time. The rest of the stuff was great. It was picked out thoughtfully and packaged nicely and I would have been very happy with service otherwise. A $5.49 item will keep me from using them again.

New to the area so thought we would check out this grocery store. We do not have a grocery store near us so this was about a 45 minute drive. Spent $180 on groceries to last us a couple of weeks since we can’t make that drive very often. Seemed a little pricey but we were okay with that since we were able to get everything in one stop. Once we were home and were unloading our stuff I noticed that many of the products were expired. This was extremely disappointing. Even frozen stuff that should never even get close to being able to expire in a grocery store. So upset that I wasted my money and will not be returning to this store. If you go here make sure you check the expiration dates on literally everything!

I ordered a flower arrangement for my aunts funeral. I went with florist choice instead of ordering on funeral home's web site. I can't say it was so great for over 60.00.

(SR. CITIZEN REVIEW) A very nice grocery store. However, the last time I visited there were clerks who carried out my groceries. This time, no help at all. The checkout girl had to do the bagging or I would have had to bag my own groceries. A far walk to return my cart to a proper place. Few benches or places to sit while waiting for my wife to finish shopping. Restroom was clean and adequate, but small. I remember this grocery store last summer as being far more senior-friendly. I hear it changed hands.

Darn good supermarket, much better than I expected for a smallish town. Prices fair, good produce, good meat selections, very clean and bright, friendly cashier. Will be going back if we need more groceries while we're here.

MN NICE!

Very impressed with this store! We have a cabin nearby and this is the closest grocery store. We found the prices to fluctuate from city groceries BUT the meat and breads are beyond compare! We heard a deal on bratts and had to stop to grab some as it was an amazing deal. Upon looking we found more great deals all over the store! (The store is well kept and stocked!!). I couldnt find the bratts mentioned in the deal one radio- Upon asking the staff she asked how I knew the deal as it had expired the day prior- in telling het I had just heard it on the tadio she said there was no way she wouldnt give me the deal and was pleasant and kind as anyone can get! What? Really? Cudos to the meat dept mgr! She is a top notch individual and meets standards beyond any where! She couldve said sorry but that was yesterday- but no she didnt hesitate and packaged the bratts with the deal price! Just saying something so simple and kind speaks volumes and will forever! This grocery has gas; lottery; deli; fresh meats; water jug filler; atm; pharmacy; everything! Good job and happy summer! We will continue to shop here!

Small town store but loaded with all the you need. It has a BP fuel station and an attached convenience store.If you are looking for organic item they have a small dedicated section but they also stock organic items with conventional products too.

Great small-town grocer with excellent fresh meats department and bakery.Dean's is surprisingly well stocked with a variety of general and Gourmet packaged Foods. They have a decent produce section, and the butcher & fresh meats department makes great brats. The staff are friendly, efficient, and well trained on their knowledge of the store. If there's one downside, it's that Dean's is more expensive than what you might pay if you brought food from a larger city. But given the grocery competition even in Perham, Dean's prices are not outrageous.

Good produce and prices but the some of the staff are unfriendly. I went in today and was waiting by check out because I had fruit and they looked at me and turned around and kept talking no acknowledgment so I went to self checkout and then had issues ringing up my fruit by which time there was a line at the open register and the staff went there first instead of helping me even though I had been waiting before there was a line.

Helpful people are not hard to find. Great selection of items. Open until 11 PM, which works for me. Someone will bag your groceries and take them out for you. Service with a smile!

Amazing selection of food. Great atmosphere. And very friendly staff. The prices were a little on the high side but other than that a great place to shop.

I love Central ♡ such a good variety of Gluten Free and Dairy Free food items (even a larger abundance of options at the Detroit Lakes location).Hopefully they'll keep expanding their GF/DF section at this Perham location too!

Always great service here.. Meat department always has quality meats and the case is always as fresh as possible. Deli is the same. Very large grocery store eat to find on busy highway.

We always stop here when we are in Perham! They usually have the best friend chicken, the friendliest staff, and there's tables inside and outside. This time they were selling ribs outdoors!

not only do they have way over priced food, the sign says open 24 hours and they are still taking advantage of this "pandemic" closing at 10. I'll drive to Detroit lakes for now on and go to Walmart where I save money anyways

Had a very bad experience there today, the cashier Helen was her name was very rude to me handed me back the wrong change and didn’t inform me she was going to go get more change, so I told her this was wrong very nicely and she yelled in my face that she was going to go get more change . Had there been a manager there I would have spoken to them very rude and unprofessional if your having a bad day do not take it out on the customers.

Nice store. Check out their meat dept! And I always read the bulletin board on the way out - everyone post there.
