| Products |
In all our stores a customer can get items from our produce, meat, grocery, frozen food, liquor (liquor not available in our Franklin Park location), as well as our deli departments. We carry a wide variety of grocery items both domestic and imported. Keeping our promise of service to our customers we will try to stock the items that customers request in any of our stores.
In order to offer the freshest fruits and vegetables we pick up our produce at the SouthWaterMarket a minimum of two times per week. Our buyer personally inspects all produce items before they are purchased. Our meat department carries quality meats such as USDA Choice beef. All of our meats are Government Inspected. Our pork comes from freshly slaughtered pig carcasses, which we de-bone in house. Our poultry comes from reputable packers such as Perdue. Experienced butchers that will cut the meat to the customer's preference staff each meat department.
To complement the shopping experience an authentic Mexican restaurant is located within each of our stores
