540 E Terra Cotta Ave Suit-E, Crystal Lake““I had an incredible experience at the food and liquor store in Crystal Lake! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff who were ready to assist. The store’s impressive selection of both food and beverages caught my eye immediately. Whether I was searching for a rare wine or a specific ingredient for a recipe, they had it all. The aisles were neatly organized, making it easy to navigate and find what I needed.”
“We visited this unique bike shop that doubles as a local bar to fix our daughter's deflated bike tire. Not only did the owner inflate the tire for free, but he also generously presented us with a safety helmet for our daughter.Our visit coincided with live music, adding to the delightful atmosphere, and the food was delicious.The couple who run the place were exceptionally warm and kind. What started as a simple tire inflation turned into a wonderful and enriching experience, thanks to the incredibly kindhearted people we met there.”

“Great selection of Bourbons, Scotch, Whiskey, Tequila to name a few. Excellent & friendly customer service. Store is convenient, clean, well organized. Well worth checking out for yourself. Pay attention to their social media also as they occasionally have rare or hard to find items.”

“I came in today, looking for advice on whiskey for a tasting. In almost all liquor stores workers don't give you the time of day. Here not only was treated very kindly, but I was given recommendations that fit my budget, and made me very enthused about the hobby! It's not often you get kindness like this from a stranger on such a heavy hobby and so it was greatly appreciated.”
“Awesome store with great selection & prices, along with an engaged manager who is very knowledgeable & open to simple conversation!! Definitely will be back!”
“Great place to buy vapes and fun stuff.... Selection and price, 2 thumbs up. They have everything from funky lighters, Incense, candles, to funky watches.... Plenty of interesting items you just don't find anywhere else. The one I get is 16.99. In the city, the same vape is 22$-27$. I appreciate the staff here, they always treat me like they've known me forever.”

“Our trips to World Market in Kildeer, Illinois have been consistently awesome, mainly thanks to the fantastic folks working there. Mike, the store manager, and Ciela deserve the biggest shoutout for going the extra mile. We had to order some furniture that wasn't in the store, and these two made the whole process a breeze, handling delays and hiccups like true champs. They were not only pros but also super pleasant to chat with during our visits.The staff really know their stuff and genuinely care about giving customers a great experience. If you're in the Kildeer area and want a stress-free shopping trip with a smile, World Market is where you should be heading. Cheers to the team for making our visits so enjoyable!”
“ORIGINAL REVIEW 3 years ago: Changed owner. New owners follow you around store trying to sell.. The prices also have moved up. I dont mind paying a convenience fee, but it's out of hand. $10 6 pack of coke. Apothic wine $11+UPDATE NOW: Prices are better than other option in neighborhood AND they don't charge a surcharge fee on credit cards.FRIENDLY owners that mean well by the neighborhood.Stock has gotten way better too!”
“Sam is a great little liquor store with a large selection of just about anything you could want. Access from the south and east is easy but from the North or west is difficult. I suggest planning your route carefully if you are coming from either of those directions. It's worth the effort.”
“I love a local business. I live a family owned business. I love a business where the owner is a part of your community, is kind, helpful and hilarious. Mike is a community member and a good person. If you need a unique beer or an obscure whiskey, he has it.”
“This is a super cool store! They have a large variety of Multicultural food. Perfect place to shop to try something new! Some prices are reasonable and some are a little higher.”
7:30AM - 9:30PM
385 N Wilson Rd, Round Lake“Great place! You can buy only one bottle or can to try a beer with the full price commitment of a whole 4/6 pack. Also a great rotating selection of local and top beers.”
“Great selection and very friendly employees. If they don’t have something you can request it and most times they will not only order it but they will start carrying it regularly for you.”
