With over 40 locations across the Chicagoland area, Mariano's places a premium on the customer experience, offering a highly differentiated food shopping experience combined with exceptional customer service. Mariano's incorporates Chicagoland's distinctive neighborhood culture into its signature grocery merchandising allowing customers to enjoy a truly unique foodie experience. Customers generally praise the friendly and helpful staff, particularly the pharmacist, but note some issues with pricing accuracy and produce/meat freshness. While some find the prices to be high, Mariano's is considered the best option in the area. The store's Starbucks and fuel services are also appreciated, though the sushi is seen as overpriced. Overall, Mariano's aims to provide a unique and enjoyable shopping experience, though there is room for improvement in certain areas.
