    Some People are soooo dumb! Martin's is a very successful local and family owend business! They run there company on a customer comes first motto. If you want to shop at a place like Wally world to save 5 bucks go ahead! But I will support my local bussiess that treats me and it's employees right! And I highly doubt that Rob Bartles went to WNDU and said come do a story on my company for the super bowl, please...

      I agree that Martin's is a good store, but they are expensive if you don't buy the sales. Eg: Breyer's Ice Cream at Martins normally runs about $5.89; at Walmart and Meijers, same amount of ice cream is $3.49; I can cite many other HUGE differences in prices, all with Martin's being the highest price. Passing by all three stores every day going to and from work, where do you think I'm more likely to stop????

    They have too much prepared food that doesn't sell...goes out of date then ends up in their freezer section. Also there is a reason the shopping carts are glorified hand crates on wheels? Shop for your family and compare $500.00 at Meijers or WM is $240.00 at Martins. That $240.00 is also smaller versions of your favorites too. There is a reason the Martin stores are in the inner urban areas too!

    Martin's offers a good selection, fast, friendly service, and **clean** stores. I would shop there over Wal-Mart in a heart beat any day.

    This story is nothing more than a desperate ad for Martins...anyone who is anyone doesn't shop there for groceries not to mention party food...they go to Meijers or Wallmart SuperCenter instead...they are sooooo overpriced...guess thats why they continue to close stores as the gouge customers...do your homework folks and save a ton of cash too! Go to Meijer or Wallmart SuperCenter...just a matter of time till Martins closes all stores for good.
