"thought I liked it, the cashiers are really nice, and the floor staff helpful, right down the street from Me"
"Does not close at 8!!! Most days they'll close 15 min"
"Snyder's is just ok"
"Small downtown grocery"
"This place is a nightmare"
thought I liked it, the cashiers are really nice, and the floor staff helpful, right down the street from Me. BUT. I go there today, and there is a huge pickup parked in two spots, one of which was the only handicapped spot, I go to the manager's office, and He huffs at me and tells me He will move it, and storms out of the office, and says well, I was loading stuff, and points to a cart with laundry soap, and softener, don't break Your non-handicapped back Sir. AND then continues to make excuses as He walks out the door, Of course I left and went straight to Aldi's, now to find a replacement location to purchase my tobacco products, considering I get 150 in food stamps and only shopped at Snyder's for the last 3 months means nothing to Management, nor the lost revenue., Thanks anyway Snyder's I tried.
Does not close at 8!!! Most days they'll close 15 min. before displayed closing time, and other days will even close 25-30 min. earlier. I used to like the convenience of the location to my house. But for how over priced everything actually is and for how unreliable they choose to stay open, I'd much rather take a few extra min. to drive down the road to a fairer priced OPENED Price Chopper. It's a shame how hard they end up making it to support a local business that doesn't even care to stay open.. Hope they can change these issues but if not, oh well, my money's good everywhere else too! ♀️
Snyder's is just ok. I like to support local businesses, but they have made it difficult with no checks policy that is not posted anywhere, lack of cash back at register, you have to got to liquor box and pay a dollar fee. Complete lack of fresh produce of any kind. It's there it's just old and overpriced and nasty. They have some bargains on some items. And meat is a good deal there. Often there is serious judgement of the character of customers by management. It is located on Independence Ave so I mansure many street folk come in, but lots of other neighbors do too and we are not all off the street.
Small downtown grocery. Closest thing I can find to a health food market. Mainstream grocery B.Choice & A.Save generics priced comp. Most products brand name are 10-25% higher. Promotional prices are comparable to others in area. *****FULL SERVICE MEAT COUNTER**** Decent well kept produce area (small) I wasn't too impressed with staff friendliness but service certainly passes. What I expected for a downtown grocery. 5star. Update 4Jun2018-surprisingly limited selection of cigarettes for store in this area (lockbooth sales) Grocery store, no star loss. Staff friendly!
This place is a nightmare.My friend worked here for 2 years.This place is so disgusting , I bought a pack of re-packaged chicken from there , tell why there were three roaches inside?I told the Health Department.Nothing happened to them.I tried to buy cheese from there.The crap was molded.Don't even try the meat section it is the worst!! Remember to always check the expiration dates , they have a habit of keeping year old expired things in stock.The prices are over the top.I heard this place was good now since the owner is dead , it is a tale.
Went in this store to use the change machine I had over 2 hundred dollars in change counted it myself put it in the machine it counted it so fast I knew it wasn't rite the man behind the counter tried to argue with me the machine took about 75 dollars from me I told him I wasn't there to argue I just wanted what was mines its been a month now and they wont respond to my phone calls this store has been beating us for years now its time to do something about it.
Wow i cant believe snyders is gone i grew up in this area and as a child snyders was our favorite grocery store to go to . when i went in it kinda hurt my feelings. The people who grew up in this area all of our memories are being taken from us left and right . all we have left that is known on independece ave is 711 and price chopper everything else is mexican nothing against them but juat not what we are use to .
This place has the best butcher case in NEKC and if you come on the right day you can get a good cut of steak on the low low. Don't sleep on the bakery, if you are a big sandwich person don't hesitate to try your favorite on a bolillo. When that massive freighter boat got stuck in the Panama Canal they were out of all horseradish products but the manager there managed to keep me updated everytime I went in.
Really wish they hadnt changed it cause a few of the products i was getting from snyders i cant get from here cause of the language barrier an the fact that they all wanna act like we no speak English ish is really getting on my nerves why open a store u cant speak nor understand your own customers at? Uugh i hate it here
This store is Dirty and very expensive. They stack- up boxes at the entrance, and the exit I'm sure it's a code violation. The meat is So Old" the dates must be incorrect! The price tag says one thing but when you get cashed-out it's another price. I will "NEVER" recommend this store to anybody in my community …
Great store clean &friendly employees with knowledge of products .....place went through remodel after a fire next door. I love that if you need help with groceries taken to car without hassle for anyone who needs help. Food prices aren't bad &meat is fresh along with fruits &vegetables...love this store overall
Love the renovations however the cashier that I received wasn't very knowledgeable about Wic vouchers and ultimately turned me with my items and my 7 month old away instead of asking for help. Also the formula cost more here than at some place such as Walgreens or CVS. An extra $2-$3 more adds up.
This is the only place in the world where fruit is on the clearance rack!!! Old fruit for sale folks!!!! Meat outdated is still in freezer! Ans old baby formula is a great buy,!! Poor child. But they will get u your mulah of your debit card..... ☺
Expensive. Make sure to ask for your bags after you pay they don't care to give them all to you... we purchased charcoal 13$ for a small bag got home didn't have it went back with the receipt and were told too bad nothing we can do about it
They are the best store ever. They have everything you need. Everyone there is nice and friendly and will help if you have any questions. The store owner walks around the store being friendly and stocking shelves. I give this store 5 stars.
It's really nice inside, it's inviting worh all the fresh fruits right the door when you come in, then you got a very nice, warm and welcoming Store Manager by the name of Abraham that will take time to help you! They have a nice looking
Recognizable staff that treat regulars and newbies the same. The clerk there has the most beautiful smile one has ever seen✊. You can't go wrong with locally owned, meat bundle's, and check cashing all in the same place!!! …
It used to be grocery store call Snyder's but now it's owned by different people it's been remodeled inside and I went there when they weren't busy they have quite a selection that help seem to be friendly and knowledgeable
I think they can improve the kind of song they play for the shoppers. A music that invites the customer to go back to shop. Focus on sales and neighbors who support the business. Thank you for your service, Mercado Fresco.
This is my favorite store. However, I always have to stop somewhere else on my way home. They're either out of something or don't carry it. Overall, great place to shop. The produce and meat are fresh. The folks are nice.
It's a small neighborhood market, friendly people who take care of there neighbors who are loyal shopers. The only drawback is they don't have the big selection of the bigger chains but you won't be waiting in long lines.
I loved to shop at snyders when i lived in Kansas City. I enjoyed the staff so much I applied for a position and was hired. I know live in Mesquite , Texas but think about all my ex co- workers often. Love you all, Ruth
They keep closing before posted time and the meth head looking cashier was mad that the owner let me in to get one item so she gave me a dirty look her other coworker was mad to you just can't find good help these days
This was a new market we visited. Great variety of foods to shop for. Bakery items were so awesome. It is not a huge market but is clean and well stocked. Nice international vibe and the employees were very helpful.
I asked for a dragon Ball Z cake with fondant and they gave me the opposite of what I showed them I’m highly upset it’s my kids first birthday absolutely horrible never again the cake is not even good …
Enjoy shopping here so far been to at least 3 location not a bad experience, wish had more ppl that could help you when looking for products. Overall my new shopping for grocery in my neighborhood.
What a great store. I went in to cash a check and the people were so friendly and helpful. I've started shopping there regurly and find their prices are very reasonable but the people are awesome.
I hate going to this store that's why I usually go out far because there are no good grocery stores in the downtown area when shopping for a family and it wasn't the employees it's the customers
It is very cluttered and difficult to maneuver, but they have a great selection and the BAKERY IS AMAZING!!! Even if not shopping for bread or sweets, bust try one. The turnover was soooo good!
Why is it that you clearly state you close at 8:00pm but yet I show up to your store at 7:45pm & your doors are locked your closed? Please explain! Because I swear it says you close at 8:00pm.
That meat was expensive and old looking. I spent 20 minutes looking for decent meat & that wasn't accomplished. All the "managers specials" looked like cancerous meat.. just go to thrift way.
Clean, organized, GREAT produce section. Friendly employees. Parking lot is... Not like in the suburbs, but you can buy a good avocado for under $1.00 and it's locally owned. You should go!
Very convenient supermarket BUT as a WIC consumer there store is POORLY labeled items. Then once at the register the girls should be more friendly as to inform and deal with WIC issues.
Good place for people who use EBT or snap they have all type of food from Derry to dry food. They even have custom cake Stan I'm door too so yeah and you can cash you check I believe.
Great, Clean, fast Check Out is so important to Me . I run errands for People. But needed Check over 1,039.68 ! They always serve any need. Love the Bakery's Items. Staff Best!! …
I really like this market the fruit is so good the meat is very fresh and the staff is very helpful. I've even kind of stopped adventuring out too far cuz I like this place so much
In a city with food deserts it's a great commodity to have in the city. People shop here generation after generation because I've always been there always serving their community.
Wonderful store. Everyone was polite and cheerful. Store was clean, very presentable and had a wide selection. My eyes have been opened to the fresh bakery . Highly recommend!!!!
These people are awesome. The always help out my family when we truly need it. The only example of a hometown, all American feeling grocery store that kansas city has to offer.
the old Snyder's market is closed and they are going to open a new Mexican food grocery store there I'm so excited I know the family that runs the place and they do a great job
Snyder's is a nice little store. It definitely impressed me. They have a little bit of everything and decent prices. What I DON'T LIKE is they have no bathroom! Who does that?
We LOVE IT AND SOOO GLAD ITS OPEN ,,CAN GO TO ONE STORE AND GET EVERYTHING NEEDED AND COURSE ,ONCE IM IN ,,I END UP BUYING MORE.STUFF.. To GREAT TO PASS UP...THANKS NORTHEAST.
A lot of variety in grocery store, fresh, good quality, they have a lot special prices in some food and offers with discounts and costumers care very greatful and helpful.
Their meat and produce section is small but fairly priced with good specials and all their produce was fresh on the Thursday I was there. Lots of staples that were cheap.
Newly remodeled and clean, but products are really poor quality. The cashiers are very nice and friendly, the bathrooms are clean. They need to bring in better products.
Enter at your own risk. The service is possibly the worse I've ever received at any store, yet it's terribly overpriced. Make sure you check expiration dates.
Food, glorious grocery store food. Clean. Well lit inside store & parking lot. Friendly cashiers & store operators. A good go to spot for your grocery needs.
Very, very satisfactory and more than ample supplies of all basic needs and necessities. Food, House &Home, Toiletries, Lawn&Garden, etc. etc. . . . …
Giving this place a 3/5 since IT'S SO EXPENSIVE HERE the Samyang noodles used to be 7.99 now it's 8.99?? What is up with the prices ?? Disappointed …
Good prices and sales on meat. I love getting the sweet breads. The little loafs of bread that is consistently baked all day are so good for sandwiches.
Fresh produce all the time. Very affordable meat section and selection. Cashiers are always friendly and are happy to answer any question one may have
I love the pastries very fresh delicious and on 2 for only $1, workers very helpful, check cashing is expensive compared to other stores in the area.
The associate's in this establishment are great! You couldn't ask for a better neighborhood market. They have stayed here just because of this!!
It's very big and has a nice selection but I was a little disappointed because I didn't know the name had changed from Snyder's Supermarket.
Friendly staff. Good prices & a wide variety of groceries. Minimum shoppers at any one time. Quick check outs. Financial services as well.
Staff are very friendly and helpful. They are always running sales on different products and sell a wide variety of different brands
Nice neighborhood grocery store, one of the longest standing independently owned stores in the Historic Northeast Kansas City area.
I appreciate the effort to incorporate as much international food as they can. I hope the continue that way(cuban food) keep up.
Nice and clean! Lots of what I needed was in stock. The deli meat section is a bit pricy but other than that it was amazing!
The people there are friendly and you can find just about everything you need and you save money on your grocery bill …
This is the best grocery store and it's right down the street. The bakery is awesome and there's always great sweet breads.
They have. Best customer service when it comes to check out you also enjoy a good conversation and meat bumdles are good to
Love having a grocery store so close to home within walking distance, so glad they reopened, love the people so friendly
The go to store! I miss the sisters that have ran that store for decades, but the new staff are warm and kind …
Wish I had a grocery store like this in my neighborhood! Plantains were great and their bakery section is 10/10
A bit pricey if you ask me but it is on walking distance from my house. A pound of hamburger 6 bucks no way
Fresh bakery is great and they have a great fresh meat selection. They have the best chorizo I've ever had
I'm really your store is doing so well. I know the previous owner very well. Nice store. The best of luck.
I looooove the Pork Rib Tips they have there. The meat falls off the bones after you fry them. …
High prices on shelf items and frozen however meat prices are fantastic. Always stocks and good meat.
This is a great little store that has a wonderful variety of things. The tortillas are fantastic.
Great selection for a small store. The owners and employees are the best people you'll ever meet.
They got a better selection of 5 for twenty five than price chopper and they check you out faster
My first time in there was today very clean and the staff was really nice.I will be going back
IDK, maybe it's a good place to shop but they claim to cash checks but have yet to cash mine.
Everything was great except the very crowded isles I could hardly fit my shopping cart thru.
Great hometown place that is owned and ran by one of the nicest families you will ever meet!
They're alright. Friendly staff. Not alot of stuff to offer though. May want to call ahead.
You need a check cashed or groceries awesome neighborhood store family owned and operated
Great prices and even better service!!! Been coming here for year's... Love this store
