Value Center Market

They have full circle brand (which I really like). Pretty clean and orderly. Nothing spectacular and nothing bad to say about this one. Their produce and deli sections are adequate, I don’t eat a lot of meat so I’m not sure about their meat counter or if they even have one. Good enough for weekly shopping but must be supplemented for our needs.

The Positives:
a.
If you are looking for deli items at a decent price, shop here!
The deli area (specifically) is well stocked and far less expensive than Kroger’s.
b.
It’s pretty clean there most of the time, and they seem to have a decent variety of produce.
The Negatives:
a.
Although some items are cheaper there (like their deli department and some meats), they tend to make up for it in other areas. I may feel like I’m getting a deal on some things, but by the time I walk out of there, I ALWAYS wonder, «How did I spend so much money»??? Every time I leave there, I feel ripped-​off and disappointed.
The dairy there seems to be a LOT higher in price, as does some of their produce.
b.
Their employees aren’t that friendly, and frequently seem tired and unhappy.
c.
The parking lot there doesn’t feel safe anymore. Shady characters are often criss-​crossing their parking lot, so I advise you to park as close to the door as possible. It’s certainly not the same atmosphere as when Farmer Jack used to be there.

Love this grocery store! They have alot of different things that Meijer, Kroger and Walmarts don’t carry.

I have been coming to this supermarket ever since they opened. I thought I did a review years ago, but perhaps not.
A local grocery store, they serve the neighboring areas around 16 & Harper. As a former Farmer Jack’s supermarket, they have a fairly large store that was completely renovated on the inside.
A Spartan store, they carry many of the Spartan-​label products. They have a complete line of groceries, including fresh meats and vegetables, frozen foods, dairy, and the like. As well, the carry alcoholic beverages, having recently expanded their services to include liquor.
The Service center can take your packages for the U.S. Postal Service and sell stamps.
They are always friendly, and the place is kept clean throughout. They do a good job of policing up the parking lot of debris left by ill-​mannered patrons. The only detractor is their bottle return machines, which are often out of order and constantly in need of deodorizing (a typical complaint wherever these machines exist).
A great place to do my grocery shopping in the neighborhood.

This is a relatively new market inside an old Farmer Jack’s location that has plenty of fantastic deals strategically placed throughout the store. While most products throughout the market are comparable to a bit higher than what you’d pay at Kroger, they have one full aisle in the middle of the store of these sometimes unreal $ 1 deals on things that might otherwise cost several times that. (They say «10 items for $ 10,» but each item is individually only a dollar. Holler! Lmao.) Also check the front entrance (between the exterior and interior sets of doors) for these bargains.
The entire store has a fantastic selection of merchandise, as well as a MASSIVE deli with almost any food you might want under the sun. Be sure to check out pre-​packaged «deli”-type foods in the open fridges opposite the actual deli – also a huge selection here.
The store itself is also beautifully designed, warm in color, clean, updated, and very inviting! I just LOVE the décor!
They offer a «Value Plus Card» which is free to obtain; this is similar to a Kroger Plus Card or Speedy Rewards Card, but it’s not clear how it works. I shop here on occasion and don’t think I’ve received any discount or reward from using it – and if I have, that’s never really been clear. I just keep giving it to them hoping one of these days will be my lucky day! Haha.
One potential area for improvement for the store overall is something I’ll call «suspicion.» It seems like the employees who stand at the front entrance before you walk out (without fail, there are always managers just standing there watching you. check it out) and the cashiers seem to convey an overt suspicion that the store is going to get ripped off. They double– and triple-​check your ID when you use a card, hold onto your keys behind the register if you use a keyring Value Plus savings card at purchase, and stuff like this. It’s just weird. they must get stolen from a lot, or the manager might be paranoid. Either way, there’s something strange about this that seems to be ingrained in the culture here.
Overall, though, they have a great selection, bargains if you know where to look, and it’s a really nice shopping experience due to the cleanliness, upkeep, and design of the store.
Also please see my other review for the pharmacy here; that’s also a great place to go if you need it!

I did not even want to give this place one star. They have the worst customer service. I went here to return bottles and left crying. After i had returned home I called there to get the store managers name and they refused to give me their name. The person on the phone continued to tell me that it was because i was a women thats why I was so upset.

If you grew up in South Dub like me, there are probably a million memories associated with the words «Value Center», for me, usually those words remind me of being kid and usually walking in the cold with bottles for 3 for $ 1 candy bars and 25 cent bags of chips.
Anyways, like I have said, I recently moved to St Clair Shores, and I need to find a good grocery store. I was a bit hesitant at first, I will be honest, but I made a stop in at Value Center (just to see…) and was pleasantly surprised. The place is actually quite clean and boasts a good amount brands, fresh looking produce, even sushi, but the great thing about the store was the deals that I remembered my mom always getting at the South Warren Value Center, the 1.99 boxes of General Mills cereal, tons of stuff for 3 for 5, or my mother’s personal favorite the good ol 5 for 5. A buck for an item and it isn’t a dollar store brand, jackpot. LOL
Not a bad store to pick up a few or more items, was not too crowded and plenty of lines open… Let’s face it, your grocery store is a big deal.

Such a new and nice place to shop at. All the workers are young but very nice. They have someone seperate from the casheir bag your grocerries so your not waiting forever unlike meijers. Very clean and good quailty products.
