Our Customers Say The Nicest Things ...

We can tell you how much you will enjoy shopping at our stores. But you don't have to take our word for it. Here are just some of the actual letters from our customers we've received over the past few years.

Thank you Jason Cable
We would like to thank your store and manager Jason Cable for the generous donation of Sierra Mist for our Cub Scout Pack during the Labor Day weekend. Our Pack sells pop during the Labor Day Festival in West Liberty, and your donation is multiplied with every sale. Our Pack had very successful sales this year due in part to the great support of our community and businesses like yours. Thank You! Cub Scout Pack 316, Pickrelltown, OH.

Freshest In Town - 5/31/09
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful meat & produce selection. It is the freshest in town! I have purchased meat/produce from the Kroger and walmart stores (Kroger is the WORST)-they don't compare to the quality that communinty market has! Plus the employees are always so friendly! When I walk into community market, I am not "just another customer", I get waves and friendly "HI"! Toodie and other cashiers even remember my kids by name! Thank you for being such a wonderful store!

Special Order - 5/27/09
Today I talked to Keith Thompson about a problem I was having. One of the vendors at his store wasn't ordering a product that you guys carry. He took care of the problem and addressed all of my concerns. Apparently the vendor had been not ordering the product and he said he would make sure it was ordered for me this week. This is an example of customer engagement and why people go to your business instead of Krogers (which is the only other store that carrys that product in Bellefontaine). You should give the man a raise! Kudos to your DM for picking a great Store Manager!!!!!!

Helpful Manager - 5/27/09
I just wanted to let you know how helpful the manager, John, is at the Decatur, Indiana store. I had a coupon that you had sent me in your weekly e-mail and they were out of the product. He offered to substitute the item which wasn't necessary. He really goes above and beyond. I really like the fact that Community Markets is easy to get in and get out of unlike the larger box stores. It's a great convenience when time is limited. I also, wanted to comment on the fact that I appreciate you trying to provide local products. I think that's huge in today's economy!

Best Employees - 5/26/09
The employees at this store are the best, especially the lady in the deli! You would think that all the employees were the owners-they are a Blessing to Community Markets and the customers!






Helpful in every Department - 3/13/09
I spend a good share of money in this store and it is because of this young fellow (Dustin, the assistant manager). Dustin is always so pleasant, has a smile on his face, and is helpful in every department. He is the reason that I choose to spend my money here. And I am very happy to have found Dustin, he is just the GREATEST!!! And once again I can shop here in Mc Comb and enjoy my shopping experience. My husband and I have always tried to keep our business in town and as long as Dustin is out here at this store, we will.

Lunches From Great Scot - 3/10/09
Hello – Thank you for providing boxed lunches at cost for our meeting! The lunches were absolutely delicious! Not only were the boxes full of great, quality food, but your staff was extremely friendly and helped me carry the big box of lunches and box of water to the check-out counter and then to my car. I appreciate the care you put into your products and your customers. Thank you!!

Thanksgiving Turkey - 12/21/08
Mr. Needler, Thank you for the gift certicate and the turkey at Thanksgiving. You are such a good company to work for. After almost 25 years with Food Town and having to start all over I never thought that I would be so content to work in another grocery chain. I have been blessed in so many ways to be able to work at a job I love and to work for Great Scot. Thank you Again for everything. And may you and your family have a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year. Melody Bowman a happy employee

I Appreciate Your Boldness - 12/16/08
To Mr Michael S Needler, CEO Dear Mr Needler, Thank you for publicly supporting what Christmas is really about. Thank you for mentioning the birth of Jesus Christ, and actually using His name in your public thank-you note contained in this week's store ad. Thank you for calling this holiday "Christmas", instead of "Season" or "Holiday". I appreciate your boldness and good character, especially in this supposedly politically correct era. I will shop in your market in good conscience the next time I encounter one. Sincerely, Mrs. Isch

She Has Made Two Lifetime Shoppers Out Of Us - 9/26/08
My mother is 76 years old and shops at your store in McComb. One day she called me (along with all her friends) to rave about a young girl working there. She said she had never experience customer service like she did there. The girl helped her find italian seasoning (since my moms eyes aren't the greatest she had trouble reading the tiny lables) and then when it was time to check out she opened another register just for her. Once she was done checking her out she even left the register and carried out her groceries to the car. I went to visit my mom this past week and I went to pick up some groceries for her. My mother insisted I go to experience the customer service. Sure enough the girl was working (her nametag said Krystal Customer Service Manager. It makes perfect sence) and I got the same treatment as my mother. By the time she had carried my groceries out and unloaded them we had been talking in the parking lot for over 5 minutes. I felt as if I had known her for years. She gives you the feeling as if you're shopping at a store run by your own family and friends. Which makes it easier to cope with the idea of all the money youre spending for groceries. My mother and I felt after these experiences she deserved to have a little spotlight for her job well done. She has made two lifetime shoppers out of us.

Great Produce - 8/11/08
I wrote you a while back to let you know how bad the produce department is at this location. Well, I am writing this time to let you know it has really changed for the best. For some time I did not go into your Court House store. Two weeks ago I stopped in to pick up a couple of thing that Aldi's doesn't carry. When I first entered I saw some ears of homegrown corn so I stopped to pick some up. From there I looked through the produce area and noticed that the colors were rich, each section was full, and the produce was aranged in a way that was inviting. It looked like a TV add. So instead of going on to Aldi's I walked back into the enterance, grabbed a shopping a cart, and gathered my fruits and veggies there. The true test would be seeing if I could eat from my purchase for the week. Sure enough I could. Not one item went bad. I got to enjoy every bit of it. Last week I didn't even go across town to the Aldi store. I got all my produce at Ev's. And again, the produce section looked like it should have been in a commercial. So thank you for your help and please be sure to give that store a pat on the back for a job well done!

Outstanding Employees - 8/9/08

You have a young man named Jason in that store who goes out of his way to help you find what you are looking for, is very efficien and personable and takes your groceries to your car for you. His service in your store is remarkable. Matter of fact, every one in the store is terrific but he just stands out. You have a terrific employee in Jason and he is an asset to your company.
