Woodman’s Market

The girl at the service desk in front «Mindy» is terrible. She has no personality and shows no customer service skills, She belongs at the loading dock or cleaning the Pachyderm House at the Zoo. The rest of the workers are fairly friendly.

If you’re looking for something in particular, you’ll probably find it here! The selection is huge! I love the wide selection of natural food in their health food aisles. Same goes for their booze dept. You’ll probably find what you’re looking for at a good price! The customers though… There’s always a family reunion going on in an aisle clogging it up. Customer’s that shop here also DON’T KNOW HOW TO PARK! I’ve been parked so close to I couldn’t get into my vehicle from the driver side door. They also always park in the pedestrian walk through… But that’s not store’s fault, just beware. One thing I wish they would do differently… Don’t let their employees stock shelves and leave products all over the floor as well as the product’s wrapping. It made it challenging to get through the aisle with other carts also trying to make it through. The check out is slammed for the most part during peak hours but they have most if not all registers open! Don’t worry, they have enough self check outs to go ahead and do it yourself!

Just shop here, everything is easy to find.
If you need something they have it.
You want to shop at 4am? Come here.
The employees are super cool and help me if I need help.
The prices are very low.
Plenty of parking.
Frozen pizza selection is great.
They have a whole lot of local products.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars

This grocery store has to be one of my favorites in Rockford. I especially like the Gluten free isle where I can get all my daughters favorite foods. The produce is fresh and several organic options. Still trying to get familiar with all the isles. The employees are great and always seem to know what direction to send me when I just can’t find what I’m looking for. Look forward to next week’s shopping adventure.

No doubt, they have the most variety foods and cheap prices. All of their baby items are very overpriced.
But I have a complaint. This past April, there was a tornado warning and we were on the road. so we stopped at Woodman’s to take shelter. It was raining. our kids were scared. We dragged our 4 year old, 1 year old, and 1 month old baby outside to seek shelter. The workers were standing outside the door and told us we weren’t allowed to come in until the tornado warning expired. UMMM REALLY??? You’re going to send us back on the road with our small children in serious weather conditions? I was furious. Thankfully, we made it home. But this place lost so much respect from me for that.

A 117 star review I got the soda again here Peoria refuses to sell. Great people great cart return racks great selection of soda. If I didn’t dump $ 43 in gas to here and back I’d get more soda or over $ 80 if a Peoria store would carry but it ain playing in Peoria.

Amazing booze selection, every baking accountremont you would ever need and an expansive selection of produce. But don’t ask the staff for any specialty beer because they’ll talk down to you like they hold the keys to brewing it themselves. Rude!

This store is huge! It has the best selection of everything I’ve ever seen! The most impressive thing about Woodman’s, though, is the friendly and helpful employees who not only keep the place unbelievably clean and neat but also bag your groceries and take them out to your car! In New York if this kind of service was available (which it isn’t) you’d need a mortgage for the bill. Not so at Woodman’s, where the prices are very reasonable. This is a wonderful store that should be a model for all supermarkets.

Massive selection and competitive prices.
I’ve been out in the area on business and when I came across Woodman’s I was thrilled. A huge food market that’s open ²⁴⁄₇? How wonderfully convenient.
Their selection is nothing short of enormous. Dozens upon dozens of aisles of everything, and I mean everything. They even had several aisles of natural food, including countless vegan, vegetarian and gluten-​free options. I was born and raised on the East Coast, so this was not exactly what I expected to find out here in Rockford!
Their prices are good too. Look for red stickers to highlight sale items. The prices here are comparable to or better (in most cases) than other supermarkets. I also like how they have tons of self-​checkout lines. Nothing against cashiers, but some of us just want to scan and bag on our own, then be on our way.
The only thing I couldn’t find, and maybe I should have asked, was reusable bags. I didn’t pack any on my flight out there and I couldn’t seem to locate them in store. I’ll have to ask next time. A suggestion would be to place some near the checkout lines. I’m sure many people would buy them! (If I am able to go back and find some, I’ll edit this review)
I will be back here for all of my shopping needs as long as I’m out in Rockford.

Way overpriced for groceries. There are such better prices at other stores in the area. I try to avoid it as much as possible. However, the liquor section is by far the best in the area which is what is giving them the second star in my book

The produce section is horrific ie. nothing but green bananas ALL the time.
The liquor department is amazing and has a vast selection.
The prices are the best in town, because they only take debit (not credit).

Amazing selection or food. If there’s ever anything you have trouble finding at other supermarkets, Woodman’s probably has it. But food aside, their beer selection is fantastic. Woodman’s carries such a huge variety of beers that you could almost never get a chance to try them all. But I will give it my best shot.

The main reason I shop here is because they have an organic produce isle & a large health food section. They also offer natural personal hygiene products. While the organic produce prices used to be reasonable they seem to be going up lately. However, they are still less expensive than other natural markets in the area.
Prices for grocery staples tend o be lower than the other grocery stores in the area. They offer a nice selection. Staff are consistently friendly unlike other groceries I will not mention.

One of my favorite grocery stores…

I love Woodman’s. Yes, I am horribly biased. I missed the hell out of this place when I lived on the west coast, because nothing compares to this awesome grocery store with an aisle for everything.
I kid you not. There are aisle for the following: vegetarian/​vegan food, organic food, Hispanic food, Oriental food, Kosher food, several sections of frozens, produce, fish market, deli, dairy cases a mile long (or so it seems), an awesome bakery, a flower section, and their very own alcohol area within the store. I am dead serious when I say nothing compares to the selection a Woodman’s. I love coming here and am never disappointed when I walk away… and let’s just leave it at that.
Parking is good, just beware of how busy it gets on the weekend-​very packed to say the least.
Employees are helpful and cheerful. They can help you find what you’re looking for quickly.
Be aware that they take cash or check only, no credit/​debit cards. But there is an ATM in the store so you can take cash out if need be.
It goes without saying that I will be back here again and again!

A grocery store that is the size of what you remember a grocery store to be. With a selection that could only possibly be rivaled by a grocery store distribution warehouse. I mean the cheese aisle alone made me cry. Like they have different bins for each type of cheese. Romano, Cheddar, Sharp Cheddar, Mozzarella, Swiss…
As a poor city girl I feel a little gipped now by city stores. I should have never ever found Woodman’s. They have a kosher section, organic, gluten free, asian, hispanic. It was all really just too much for me to handle. I only made it halfway through the store. Too overwhelmed. Just. Too. Overwhelmed.
Oh and the prices? My god are they just into giving this stuff away?

I don’t care which location you’re at, I just happen to shop at this one the most but… Woodman’s is da bomb. Hands down.
I’m at the point that if you can’t find it at Woodman’s either you don’t need it or its out of stock, I’m betting on the former.
The store is always clean and bright. Its easy to find stuff.
I’m pretty sure they carry just about every brand of cheese to toilet paper. I’m also vouching for the best magazine selection around too.
My only complaint is for a store that has wide aisles, the check out lanes are pretty tight. but hey, minor stuff.

Woodman’s is one of the best in town. The store is huge but it is organized and the staff know the store well. They have products that you only find in specialty stores and farms. Their produce is always fresh and they have good price points. The staff is alway courteous and they have seem to really care about their store and job.
My only concern is they will have two lanes open during busy times and at night. The line can be eight people deep, with carts full! However, the cashiers are super fast making the wait not that bad.

Being a NYer, I was blown away by the sheer size of this supermarket. We went in for beer and the selection was phenomenal and a bit overwhelming. It took us a very long time to pick out what beer to get and then just when I thought we were done, I saw the doors that lead right from the liquor store part to the supermarket! We walked around the aisles for a while just so I could be awed by an entire aisle of Jello, for example, but settled on a huge bag of local potato chips. They were quite delicious and memorable (Mrs. Fisher’s). These mega stores are a huge perk of living in a suburb and honestly made me think I could be happy away from a big city! I know that sounds crazy but did I mention the entire aisle of Jello?

I feel like a nerd, recommending a grocery store, but I cannot help it.
Today, snowy and pack, everyone gearing up for the storm. This place is well laid out with wide aisles. I was in and out in 30 minutes. With a weeks worth of groceries for my family of four.
Awesome selection of, well, almost everything. The deli is in the butcher section (seriously– they cut the meat right there behind the counter– if you are squeamish or are sensitive to smells– the raw meat smell is there.)
High traffic means high turnover, important for fresh fruits and veggies. 1000’s of choices. Better Asian selection that Valli Produce. Good Mexican selections. Wonderful «health-​organic» selections, including frozen foods, and many options in this category throughout the store.
And, absolutely, the best prices in town. (I have a head for numbers, I remember everything, and a box of the kid’s Mother’s Best frosted mini-​wheat is $ 2.29 at Woodman’s, and $ 2.50 at Valli).
Go there. You will thank me. The best all around grocery store in Rockford.
**No credit cards accepted** But they do take debit cards, checks, cash and they have a no-​fee ATM on site.
Tons of parking. Prompt and courteous drive up loading. Motorized carts available.
