Under construction and changes so right now it can be challenging to get to what you want. Looking forward to the improvement to be finish.

Remodeling ongoing so hard to find items because of reorganization. But quality is still awesome! Chef-prepared choices and in-house eating were the reason we chose Central Market. That and the carrot cake!

We like Central Market but we went during the construction and most of the store was unavailable.

Got off from work and I chose to come here to get some fresh veggies for my salad that I was planning to make for dinner. Was not greeted by a single person, I was in need of help in finding a product, I tried to get the attention of an employee and she literally ignored me and chose to keep walking, while I was trying to ask for help. I Went to self checkout and I noticed how the employee was kindly helping everyone else meanwhile, I was just stared at. My guess is if you come in your uniform you must be stereotyped by the employees. Not a great experience.

Love the variety of items. You can't find these anywhere else. When I go to SA I make it a point to check the latest sales and whatever the new promotions are. But I do go for a few staples (for me). The olives, sweet heat pickles, love dip, dried nectarines and a few others. I picked up a very nice wine for a gift with the help of their sommelier.
