Darrell’s Market was originally founded in 1945 as a small country grocery store by Darrell Gavin on the southwest corner of Columbia & Aurelius roads (currently the Thriftway Building across from our current location). Ten years later due to Darrell’s illness, his son Jim Blauvelt left college to manage the store in his place. Jim and his wife Pat expanded the business over the next 40 years, including the building the current location in 1975/8 as well as expanding the current location to 25,000 square feet in 1987, and rebuilding the south part of the store after a fire in 1992. In 1996 Scott & Jamie Robinson assumed third-generation ownership and have worked hard to give back to the community that has supported them over the last 80 years.

    Darrell’s has almost everything you could ask for. Even though they are a country market, they seem to have a great assortment of groceries, including a great deli and ready to go fried chicken and other foods. The only thing they don’t have are complaints, just happy customers and, by the looks of it, happy employees!

    I called the store with a concern and spoke to the manager. I am 21 years old and presented my valid driver’s license when attempting to purchase alcohol. However, my ID was not accepted due to it still being the vertical one. (I renewed it over a month early and that’s why it’s not horizontal) This was a bit frustrating, since my license is a government-issued form of identification and is regularly accepted at other establishments such as Mejier, gas stations and bars without issue. I completely understand that stores must follow alcohol laws carefully, but it felt as though my valid ID was disregarded. When I brought it to a managers attention because situations like this can make loyal customers feel unfairly turned away, the response I received was very monotone and dismissive, with the explanation that “it’s store policy”. While I understand policies are in place for a reason, the lack of empathy and professionalism in how the situation was handled left me feeling unheard as a customer. Because I have had no issues at other establishments since turning 21 back in July, I will continue to take my business when purchasing alcohol to Mejier. At least there I know they take my valid ID, I get Mperks, and I get nicely greeted at the front door.
