| - This store is what i'd call "aggressively average." I'll list it out.
The Good:
- The liquor store. As a side note, i'm a sponsored artist for a particular liquor brand, and when I emailed the store and asked if they would carry our brand, it was on the shelf three weeks later. Other than that, their booze selection isn't bad. They've got the classics, as well as some more modern and trendy stuff, and even the off-the-wall standards like Ouzo (i'm guessing this is only purchased for kids doing dares or something.) Their prices are also a buck or two cheaper than the other State Liquors close to Kent.
- The store has a nifty little organic/gluten-free section, which features pretty much everything Bob's Red Mill has ever made, including their poppy seeds, which are super hard to find.
- They have all of the standard grocery brands and items, and some more obscure items like Kraft White American cheese, as well as both salted and unsalted, Ohio-made Amish roll butter. (The local Walmart only carries the salted variant, a little less healthy.)
- They actually check the holograms on IDs for alcohol purchases. I've never seen another store take that much care.
- Their self-checkouts are very functional and bug-free, and a staff member is always on hand to ring up age-restricted products. It's honestly quicker than going through a regular line even with a case of beer.
- Their daily-baked bread is fantastic and super cheap, some are $1 a loaf as long as you don't mind slicing it at home. (I recommend the French bread.)
The Bad:
- Much of the cashier staff is underage, and if you're buying liquor, you might have to wait a bit for an of-age staff member to ring it up before the regular cashier can ring up the rest of your items.
- Their tobacco products are $2-3 more than pretty much every other store in the area.
- Some products might be expired. I once got a jar of peanut butter there that expired almost six months earlier. Check the dates on anything perishable.
- Even after having a card for almost two years, I have no idea what the Acme card or the fuel rewards card actually do. I've somehow never acquired enough points for it to amount to anything.
- Most prices are a dollar or two more than Walmart and Marc's.
Overall, the store functions, it's biggest redeeming factor is it being the only liquor store in the middle of a college town. I'd love to know what overall percentage of the money that location makes is alcohol purchases.
