Maybe I experienced the Rivertown market on a bad day, because unfortunately, my visit was not that pleasant.I am familiar with these type of Meijer stores because I do frequent the woodward Market on Woodward in Royal Oak often. I love the local options that they have in store and I do enjoy finding new things to try. I recently stopped in and grabbed my favorite brand of granola before heading to the self check out. I only had one item to ring up, and the self checkout machine was very slow. My boyfriend and I stood at the self check out machine for over 10 minutes waiting for the machine to give us back our change. from there I asked an employee to help us out. We waited an additional 10 to 15 minutes for our three dollars and change. all this for a seven dollar bag of granola. There was no urgency amongst employees. The place wasn't even busy.

Rivertown Meijers has its pros and cons really. Pros: coworking space with free WiFi. Built in coffee shop and wood oven pizza. Really great pizza by the way. Usually pretty clean and can get help if needed by workers roaming around. A lot of local businesses have product here. Cons: pricier than your average grocery store. Pizza spot is never open when it's supposed to be. Coworking space closes at 7PM.

We walked in here thinking we were visiting some bougie local grocery store, and then found out it's actually a fancy Meijer. Doh! Meijer be like, "Got you, beeyotch!" Oh well. It's still a nice store and there are lots of nice things to buy here.Mostly, we visited to find some local foods to take back home with us, because we were visiting from out of town. Rivertown Market has a lot of Detroit-made and Michigan-made foods. There's even a whole section of such foods near the checkout! They make it easy to buy local. I picked up some chips, baked goods, and a few other snacks.This store also has a decent selection of wine. I picked up a bottle of petit Syrah to take back to my hotel.This store is very well designed and very clean. It's nice to just walk down the grocery store aisles and peruse, which is what I did. The lighting was also pleasant, which isn't something I notice at a grocery store until they do it right, like this place does.

Rivertown Market is fantastic.A great grocery store has been long-needed in this neighborhood.I lived in this area years ago, and it definitely fit the description of a "food desert." The market is stocked with fresh produce, meats, dairy, and pantry staples.There are plenty of prepared foods for those like me who don't cook.The wine selection is awesome. They carry many local food brands and have in-store, events samples and giveaways.I remember seeing a few years ago that they cater to the needs of seniors with designated shopping days.The bakery goods are plentiful as well.It's a Meijer market, but smaller than most of their large grocery stores.However, it's great just as well.Seems that it took gentrification to make this market happen, but I'm happy for the residents who have lived here for years.

Nice Mini-Meijer (read: grocery only) that gives a fancy grocery shopping experience without the wallet bludgeoning prices of Whole Foods. We've now normalized self-checkout to the point where that's all they have here. I don't mind it much; I almost always self-checkout anyway but funny how there was never any kind of price drop related to the money companies save with this. I always forget how right downtown this market is. It's practically in the shadow of the Ren Cen. I always seem to go too far east and have to double back down Jefferson. Parking is definitely an issue here. I generally won't even try to go to Rivertown Market before 8 pm as the parking lot is so mobbed up. Good luck finding an empty spot! There's a pretty sorry looking park directly adjacent to the lot I wish they would annex. I almost can't even believe I'm arguing for eliminating a park for a parking lot but it's small and I suspect not too heavily used. The Riverwalk and the Dequindre Cut are nearby and a thousand times nicer. There's also a raggedy looking little field on the other side of RM that would be great for badly needed additional parking. There's all the essentials here and a few interesting things I haven't noticed at a typical Meijer - way more flavors of Kombucha than I'm used to seeing. I bought a three pound bag of crawfish here last month. I don't recall ever seeing mudbugs for sale at a Meijer before and I've never boiled them on my own before... and I still haven't. I got em sitting in the deep freeze trying to convince myself I won't screw it up. Watching a couple YouTube videos should help me manage it. It usually does. I still wish we had a gargantuan regular Meijer somewhere closer to downtown than the outskirts of the 138 square mile city of Detroit but the mini-Meijer will do if I hit it shortly before their last call.

I love being so close to this market. It's got a lot of parking, fully staffed, and well stocked. I came in on a Sunday and they even had local vendors giving out samples. It's the better grocery store downtown.

Everything you need is here for those of us who live downtown. They even have the huge liquor wall that is a focal point of the Royal Oak location.They have a lot of items are locally made. This place is the perfect spot to run and if you are a downtown dweller. Just keep in mind that you have to bag your own things so don't go in here and go crazy when you're shopping, unless you like to bag a whole lot of stuff. Then do your thing.

The absolute best market in the area. The staff is great. They make sure you get everything you need. I surely appreciate a concern a had last time was addressed. I questioned why they didn't have an item, today I noticed it was the shelf!!! Paying attention to a customers needs.... A huge BONUS for me.

Service=excellent...overall cleanliness=poor. Brooms are made for sweeping. Start with the entrance, at least. There's time to clean, Dingy is not a welcoming look. Hustle harder and show some pride to go with the premium prices.

Customer service is AWFUL!! The workers stand around talking to each other or on their phones. No one is in their designated area. If you need something that is not on the shelf you have to go to another store. And if you request the manager he comes to talk to you with bad breath and a few rotten teeth in his mouth, disgusting. Meijer should offer dental care. And he doesn't try to assist you, he just tells you that you're wrong. I give this stores existence another 12 months and then it will be an empty building
