Addison Market

You get what you pay for and in this case, it’s convenience. The prices are huge but I’m sure the rent is as well. They have most of the basics and great for the residents that forgot that «one last thing» at the grocery store.

This place is incredibly overpriced and the people working there are incredibly rude. I went there to buy a few things and I tried to pay with a prepaid card that I had from a rebate. I didn’t know how much I had on the card, but I thought I’d try anyways. The guy working swipes the card, tells me there is insufficient funds and «cancels» the transaction. I then give him another card to pay the full amount. I check my refund card a week later and it shows that he never cancelled the transaction and actually took the remaining amount on my card AND charged another card the full amount! Bad business and extremely unethical.

This place is the most overpriced «market» I’ve ever been to in my life, including «tourist traps» in other places. Yes, it’s convenient because it’s walking distance — but their items have a 100−200% markup. I went in for nose spray (Afrin .5oz), and the price was $ 12.99! Exact same product at Walgreens is $ 5.99. A $ 9 bottle of wine from Walmart is marked up to $ 18. Yes, the people are nice. But, the prices are outrageous. I would love more than anything for this extortion mart to go out of business to teach them a lesson in ETHICS. I’m pissed off and I’ll never go back.

Everything you want from a friendly, «Mom & Pop» type corner store and more!
You wonder how they can cram so many items into one little store, they have whatever you may need, all within walking distance of your apartment. From the late-​night ice cream run to the early morning cup o’ java, this place has it all. It’s especially convenient when you’re sick and run out of cough syrup, or when you’re missing one ingredient for dinner to save you from having to drive to the nearest supermarket (which always seems to take at least an hour round trip, for some reason). The cashiers are always cheerful and accomodating, and the more you visit, the more they like to chat. Expect a 200−300% markup on top of retail, but can you really put a price on convenience?
Now that legislation in Addison has passed (as of ¹¹⁄₂₀₁₀), they will also be able to carry beer and wine.
