Marc’s

I still remember my shopping experience back in the early 90s at the first area Marc’s, when it was called «Bernie Schulman’s». Since then Marc’s has grown into a formidable force in the wonderful world of grocery stores. The close-​out area is my favorite place to find unexpected bargains. The groceries are mostly name-​brand and at much more reasonable everyday-​low-​prices than just about any other grocery chain. Many Marc’s stores now have a staffed deli-​counter with a variety of meat and cheese items at the best prices anywhere! Marc’s is the only serious competition to Aldi’s when it comes to stretching your groceries dollar. Marc’s has suffered somewhat from their anti-​union stance, paying their workers the bare minimum, which obviously does keep merchandise prices down. Like fast food, textiles and exotic fruit, I’d be willing to pay a little more to assure better conditions and wages for the workers making it all possible. Marc’s employees should be better compensated for their work. That’s the only reason I can’t give a five star rating. Room for improvement!

Marcs negotiates insane deals on overstocked items, so you can get great prices on lots of things. It’s the «treasure hunt experience» as TJX would say, so if you’re in for that then you’ll thoroughly enjoy, if not then it’s not your place. Just remember that it’s cash or check only!
