Mariano's

This is one of my favorite Mariano's! Great staff and selection of products. Their hot and cold food bar is great. I like a good kombucha and Mariano's carries my favorite brand Kombuchade. Kombuchade is locally made in Chicago and sold in glass bottles which really enhances the taste. Kudos to Mariano's for supporting local vendors.

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR RECEIPT! Often times they do not apply the sale prices (even after you use your Mariano's card). It happens to me almost every week. Often missing items (even before the pandemic, so don't say it's the supply chain). They also do not restock quickly so it's best to go in the morning. Elevators are also super slow. A positive is that it's conveniently located with a parking lot and the employees are nice and helpful.

I don’t often go online to rate a grocery store, but I’ve had it up to here with this location of Mariano’s! They are always out of everything. It’s honestly laughable - the most basic items and produce (like spinach or spreadable butter), especially if there’s been a sale. Doesn’t matter what day of the week either, it’s like they under purchase because the shelves are perpetually barren. A huge location in a busy neighborhood, it needs to do better!

Gorgeous downstairs area, always full of life. As a result, however, the top floor is always crowded and with the narrow aisles it can be a bit difficult to shop, especially if you have a child. We also used to pick up orders here and we were always given produce that was less than fresh, so we stopped shopping here.

- There are never any baskets by the front door. The store makes you go up a floor and even then there are barely any baskets. They belong by the front door, people shouldn't have to go up just to come right back down. - There is no place to put tote bags or any bag you bring at the self checkout counters. There are too many metal ribs holding up the plastic bags. You don't need 3. Have the one in the back and leave the front portion so that we can actually put our food somewhere. This store isn't the same it was prior to the pandemic, the only thing I do miss was the oyster bar.

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize your associate, Carole, in the florist shop. My partner and I stopped in one afternoon without an appointment to inquire about having flower arrangements made for our wedding which was only a month away. Without hesitation Carole said absolutely and pulled out her binder to start our order and took detailed notes about what we were looking for. We showed her some examples of flowers we liked that were on the floor and she was excellent at explaining seasonal availability of certain flowers but said she would get something similar if that particular flower wasn’t available. When I stopped in to drop off vases Carole went though a few different options for arranging the bouquets. We ultimately told her we were super flexible and wanted her to use her best judgment and do whatever will look best. We were stunned beyond belief at how beautiful the arrangements turned out and how detailed she was with all of the little details! Carole, thank you for making our special day beautiful with all of your creations!
