“ I may be biased as an employee of the Country Store (and also a grandson of the owners... so yea I'm definitely biased at least a little) but I have been going there for a long time and rarely is there anything I need that they don't have. Customers rave about our deli and bulk food prices and spread word to friends. I often hear customers say something along the lines of "this is my first time coming in here. I've lived 5 minutes away and never knew this place existed until my neighbor said I had to check it out!" Overall, I think my favorite part about the Country Store overall though is the great, old fashioned atmosphere it provides to its customers! ”
“ Great deli case with large selection of meats and cheeses. Always have specials each week. Check the Merchandiser for their ad. Good fresh food including fruits and vegetables. Also carry lots of bulk candy bagged in portions. Have specialty baking items. Shop here almost once a week. Recommend if you are looking for sandwich meats and cheeses. Have snack foods also. Service is prompt and friendly. ”
“ Great little store that offers great meat, cheese and bulk items. I love to bake breads and other goodies so I go a couple times a year to stock up on a variety of flours, grains and other items that I either can't find at the bigger grocery stores and the price is usually better, too. The staff is always very friendly and will jump through hoops to help you. ”
“ Organized Friendly All you'd expect from a country store and bunches more. Wow products local grown and organic. The spices corner is an aroma treat and if it's not there that would surprise me. A heathy seekers dream come true. Thanks to all who make a nice place to visit. ”
“ I love this little store that has been serving customers in Mount Joy for almost 40 years. The Country Store doesn't have a large selection like Giant or Weis, but it does have a huge section of bulk items especially for baking and chocolate. I mainly go here when I have to send out care packages and need a gift. Their produce aisle is quite small but the quality looks good. The deli is probably the largest part of the store. They serve sandwiches daily (subs, pretzel sandwiches and wraps) as well as lunch meat and cheese, veggie and fruit trays. And don't forget the spice/herb area at the end of the produce. One of my favorite items at the store is their whoopie pies that come from Lucinda's Bakery in Lititz. Amazingly delicious! Their homemade baked goods are restocked every Wednesday so take note. They accept cash, check, credit and debit and they now have the chip reader. It's a small, family owned business so definitely try them out and give them your business if you get the chance! ”
“ This is a great little store with some unique items. Love the egg custards they sell! Produce prices are very reasonable. The hours can be difficult if you work full-time (they are closed Mon-Wed by the time I get off work). The staff have always been very friendly and I enjoy browsing their gift section. ”
“ I've driven past this place daily and finally had a chance to stop in. The store has a great selection of produce, local baked goods, and plenty of awesome bulk goods (candies, dry goods, baking supplies) and a nice gift shop. You can't beat the prices, either! Definitely a place to pick up pantry staples and special treats! ”
“ I shop here very often. It's not the largest store around, but that is what makes it so great and unique. I can shop here and be done in 15 minutes and have everything because its so well layed out. As others have stated the store has very friendly staff, consisting of mostly Mennonite/Plain people. They are always very personable and helpful. The store has a awesome selection of bulk cooking items such as spices, sugar, flour, cereal, granola, chocolate, and holiday baking supplies. Buying in bulk at this store will save you money. The fruit/vegetable section is pretty small, but the selection that they have is nice and very affordable. The dairy section contains a lot of local drinks, including SWISS milk, sweetend drinks, and Turkey Hill products. It also has a nice assortment of localally produced products such as bacon from Martin's in New Holland, yogurt from local farms, and a assortment of other locall produced products such as cranberry relish, puddings, bulk cheese, and meats. Frozen section contains many frozen vegetables, Turkey Hill ice cream, pizza and pie shells, and Shurfine products. It has a nice selection of consumer sized products including chocolate, candy, and cereals among other items. Chips and pretzels/snacks mostly consist of local product. Deli Section - I honestly don't use the deli. I use another another competitor (Hummer Meats). Overall a great experience Plus they carry Kutztown Root Beer products including the root beer, birch beer, cream soda, grape soda, cherry soda, orange soda, and sasprilla ”
