Marc’s

It’s really unfortunate that I have to go far out into the Suburbs to find reasonable prices. I attempted to buy a box of Clif Bars (12 ct) while they have a 6 ct priced at 6.33, they wanted to charge me an individual price of 1.33 ea for the 12ct… I don’t think so. I can get these for less at Trader Joes, Whole Foods or a local grocery store. While I try to shop local these stores make it difficult. I purchased closeout merchandise on the Westside for half the price that the stores in my neighborhood charged. I have to be careful of pricing; while chicken breasts are on sale for 1.99 a pound they were marked at 3.99 lb at your Mayfield store. This is disturbing and unfortunate. I feel sorry for people who don’t drive and have to shop locally or one’s who don’t carefully pay attention. I have shopped these stores since they were Bernie Shulman but it’s too bad I have to spread my money out because of inconsistencies. Thanks for nothing Marc’s.

This store is just too small compared to the other Marc’s. So of course the store and aisles look jam packed and tight. Also, because of their size you won’t find everything that the other stores have. I never stand in line long but the employees at times are barely paying attention to the customer in front of them. I know many reviewers are complaining about them not accepting credit cards but I know this is one way they they can keep their prices down.

Overall, the employees at this store are rude. I stopped in for a few items before a trip and in 5 minutes I was run into by a stocking cart (after which there was no quick apology from the employee) and was turned away from a short checkout line even though several others had been helped at the same counter before me; I got a flat «I’m closed,» before the employee turned, walked away, and started complaining about customers. I set my basket down immediately and walked out of the store. Dave’s Supermarket has friendlier employees and a well-​organized store, drive a couple minutes down the road and support them instead!

Deserves zero stars. It’s not posted anywhere on the front doors that try only accept checks or discover. Very annoying to find out once you are being checked out and they act like its normal. NO it’s NOT! Post tht warning EVERYWHERE! Get with the times!!!

Popped in for a few bottles of tea and wish id have gone anywhere but here. Place is trashed, crowded with people who refuse for some reason to let anyone through and the staff are just disgustingly rude. Oh, and to top it all off they dont take debit cards, visa or mc. Only cash or Discover. Found out when I waited in line and got to the cashier (cause god forbit they make a sign ot something) and she yelled at me for not knowing this. Lovely.
Just dont go here.

Warning… they take Cash or the Discover Card… I found that out when I was in line to pay and was rudely told that oh-​by-​way rule. Had to use the atm machine to cash out.
The staff is rude to you unless you are 1: family 2: friend 3: management
I only use this store on a emergency basis. The prices are fair, the selection is pretty good for the size but I wouldn’t purchase lobster from there even if they carried it.
Avoid at all costs this place during the hours that school lets out as the school age kids congregate at the doorway and panhandle money from you as you go in. I had to complain to the manager about that and he apologized and said that was an ongoing problem. Security came and made them leave.
Saw a fight once in the parking lot on a Saturday afternoon. Speaking of which, the parking sucks. You are better off walking if you live in the area.

This place is terrible.
1.) Doesn’t take credit cards
2.) ATM fee is overpriced
3.) Prices are very very bad
4.) Doesn’t do simple Grocery Store expected services like give out rolls of quarters
5.) Staff cares zero about customers, customer service, politeness
6.) Horrible selection
If you were to translate the mentality of an exploitive slumlord landlord, who knows he has poor people by the neck and has no reason to let up on them, that is the leadership and ownership of Marc’s.
With a wonderful place like Zagara’s less than a mile away, I’m amazed that anyone even goes into this place. Even the Dave’s at Cedar-​Fairmount is better.

It’s a small grocery store in the Conventry area, and I come here out of convenience becuase my bf lives so close. It’s quite the perfect spot to run to when we realize that we’re short 1-​cup of sugar, or out of flour, etc. Parking is a pain on the street so just head into the lot for 30 minutes of free parking at the meter. Don’t forget to turn the knob on the meter for our free 30 mins. It has all the basic necessities, but lacks any gourmet ingredients. The prices are fairly standard… not really «discount» priced.

This is by far the cheapest grocery store in the area! They have a great selection of pretty much everything. The only downside if that it’s cash only (or Discover card).

I come in here a lot. They have great prices and a huge quantity but bought blackberries recently to find they were covered in mold when I got them home. They also lack in any seafood items at all. Three stars is easily generous enough.

expensive!!!
holy crap!!!

I find most everything I need, including a good selection of produce & some fun things in the closeout area, too. I know in advanced I need to write a check or use cash so it is not a hassel for me at all, I’d rather take 15 seconds to write out a check than pay high prices someplace else. From what I am told, they do not use charge cards because of the high cost the charge card companies charge retailers, so they pass that saving to us. I like the feel of this neighborhood store owned by a neighborhood boy.

I can kind of understand a restaurant that doesn’t take credit cards… but a grocer? I think not.
This place is close, which is really the only thing it has going for it. The selection is quite small, though some of the prices are pretty good. Unfortunately, it isn’t really worth the hassle of having to get cash.
I will probably find myself here from time to time to pick up 1 or 2 things… but I don’t carry cash often and I don’t have an in state checking account since checks have been mostly useless for at least a decade. I also don’t know anybody with a discover card.

This Marc’s is weird mainly because it is supposed to be a small neighborhood store so their selection of stuff is nowhere near as extensive as the other stores. However, if you have a quarter for the meters (because the free meters are always taken) cash, a check, or a Discover Card and need to pick something like milk up and don’t feel with dealing with a big grocery store or a big box store this should be your go to place.

Marc’s is awfully convenient, in terms of location. That’s pretty much where it ends for me.
The store is tiny. Their selection is hit or miss — you can find about 50 different kinds of chicken broth, but no vegetable broth at all? Or, I could find whole walnuts, crushed walnuts, halved walnuts, but no pecans? However, they do have lots of different TYPES of stuff, but maybe only one brand of it.
Limited selection of produce and some of it is a bit iffy looking.
One of the biggest downsides is the staff that work there. They seem upset when you interrupt them as they’re yelling across the store to the other cashier about so and so’s baby mama’s brother going on a date with so and so. There seems to be only one register open at a time and you wait for about 20 minutes.
Also, they only take cash, checks (but only from Ohio), or Discover. I wish other credit/​debit cards were accepted.
It’s convenient if you live nearby and forgot something common at the store, but I don’t grocery shop here.

I love Marcs! I have been shopping at Marcs 3 – 4 times a week for the last 3 years. They only take cash (So what? Goto an ATM they are nearby, cash is cool), but pass the savings on to me. The produce is always ripe and ready to eat. I live 3 minutes away walking distance on Hampshire. I shop at Marc’s the day that I cook and so my produce is always ripe and ready. Things aren’t just cheap at Marc’s they are Marc’s cheap, I must have saved thousands of dollars by shopping here. They usually only have one item of each type of product, but who cares? It’s how they afford to make things cheap, by taking stuff that other grocery stores can’t use and offering one variety of each product. By doing this in the limited space that exists in the store, they have everything you want and you don’t have to walk football fields to get from one side of the store to the other. The Marc’s on Coventry is tricky, sometimes they will be out of what you need, but never fear, just think on your toes and buy something else. No one item should make or break a dish. Variety is the spice of life. It is all part of the Marc’s adventure. They even have an organic section, which is good for me and my wife as we enjoy buying organic eggs and milk. They have some organic meat. but I generally don’t eat meat. I just bought a house in Cleveland Heights and one of the major selling points was I could still walk to Coventry and my beloved Marc’s. Marc’s! Marc’s! Marc’s!

Marc’s sells a lot of really good stuff here for really cheap prices. However, while they have many categories of items, they’re limited in their selection. For example, they’ll have product X, but only have one option for picking it out. The produce here is pretty terrible and old-​looking.
The biggest downside is that they don’t take credit cards. You have to pay with cash, in-​state checks, or Discover. I don’t plan on really grocery shopping here; it’s not worth it to save a total of $ 3 with the inconvenience of going elsewhere to get other quality foods.
