ALPS Foods

Was in town and decided to stop in. I am not very familiar with Atchison, so when I saw the store I decided I'd stop in just to get me a little snack. First of all if you've ever been to Atchison it is a small town but has a lot of confusing buildings and streets. Some streets go one way some streets go another way, and there's like two big Bridges within the small town. people Park under the bridge, drive beside the bridge and go over the bridge. It is one of the weirdest little towns I've ever seen. That being said explains the location of the store. The store is located in kind of a block of other stores all facing in different directions. the store sits next to a Sears store and they're all facing One Direction. Other buildings to the right and the left of them that are facing another directions. If it sounds confusing then that ought to tell you how confusing it is to find the store.That being said, if you're looking for a store that's small but efficient this store is it. It's nothing to really brag about, but what I did like was parking was right in front of the store, which is kind of weird because most stores have huge parking lots but the way this store is situated there's only one row of parking directly in front of the store. I actually like that. The Isles are wide enough, but the store is very small inside. I also liked that was it was clean, it was neat. the prices were okay, could be a little cheaper but not bad. The best thing was the customer service and I looked at the communication between the staff and the customers. Being born in a big city I'm used to going into stores where you don't know the people that are serving you. This is a disservice when you come to a small town and you see that everyone knows each other, they're all smiling laughing and talking as they're checking out their customers. They all know each other therefore there's a comfort level when you shop there. That was the best feature of the store. If I'm ever in Atchison again I may stop in and do more shopping. Hopefully it'll become a place where everybody knows my name

Always have great prices & a friendly staff. I try & go here over Walmart as much as I can. Highly recommend!
