JC Market Thriftway Toledo is a locally owned supermarket known for its superior customer service and a full-service deli and bakery department. The store is celebrated for having the best fried chicken around and makes cakes for any occasion. It offers a huge variety of farm-fresh produce. The meat department features a full-time meat cutter who prepares a large variety of steaks and roasts, with fresh meat cut and packaged on-site and hamburger ground fresh daily. The store also includes a Service Center for shipping, money orders, faxes, and balloons. Weekly competitive ads and store-wide price reductions help customers save money. Many customers love the store, praising the friendly and helpful staff, the very good selection for a small-town grocery, and the pleasant shopping experience, including the music played. The selection of meat, produce, and deli items is frequently noted as impressive for the store's size. The convenience of its location is also a plus. However, some feedback indicates areas for improvement, particularly in the deli department. While the food is amazing, the service process can be slow. Some customers suggest allowing payment at the deli to avoid a separate checkout and express frustration with certain procedures. Isolated incidents of rude or snarky behavior from deli staff have been reported, which contrasts sharply with the otherwise great store atmosphere. There is a sentiment that the deli needs to improve its speed and service to compete effectively.
I come here when I visit my husband from the UK and I find this is always a nice little store. Good food and snacks and staff are always polite to me.

Very surprised by the reviews referencing rude cashiers. Maybe they were returning in kind? I have never once met any employee there that wasn't helpful and polite. I wanted to leave a review for the wonderful bakery.
