Ferndale Foods is a nice, clean, and well-stocked small local grocery store. It is good for grab-and-go items, local shopping, or last-minute needs. The selection of items is good, including a very good beer, mead, and local product selection, plus a large liquor selection. The interior feels a little dated. Prices are reasonable and decent but are a little higher and more expensive than big box stores like Meijer and Kroger, with some noting ridiculous price gouging. The quality of the meat is reported as terrible now. The store is noted for being very convenient, allowing customers to always get in and get out quickly. It features self-serve checkouts with a 20-item limit.
