Kamp Dovetail Space CAmp
Hillsboro #200, We would like to thank you for helping make “Kamp Dovetail Space Camp” a huge success. The 300 special children had a wonderful time and memories were made that will last a lifetime. Thank you again for helping make this week possible with your support.

Family Party Day
Dear Community Markets (Port Clinton #7), I have been meaning to write for many years. Many years of superb service at your store in Port Clinton. I hate to single out individuals but I feel the Deli and Meat departments which we use the most are very worthy of praise. I have challenged them with requests many times. They produced superbly. Thank you for the Family Day Party. Eric made us feel welcome right away, even at the next day clean-up. The food was great. The activities for children . . . wonderful creative and fun. Sincerely, Ann & Frank Markunas

Dear Mr. Jacobs
Dear Mr. Jacobs (Bellefontaine #420): Thank you for your contribution of $527.11 to Lutheran Community Services. Your contribution is greatly appreciated. Your contribution will be used at Food Pantry. Lutheran Community Services offers a variety of services to the citizens of the county. We offer help through a Thrift Store, Food Pantry, Our Daily Bread, Rachel’s House, Loving Hands, and the Annual Christmas Basket Program. The programs are provided to assist families in their time of need and most are free of cost. Through the Food Pantry program we served over 14,000 meals in Logan County in 2009. Without the continued support of concerned groups and individuals like yours, this program would not be the success it has become. Your awareness and support is a blessing to our community. Sincerely, Kimberly Collum Executive Director

Marysville Market - John Boer
I love the service that the employees at the Marysville Community Market. They are ALWAYS helpful, courteous, and cheerful. Also, I always buy my meat at the Marysville Community Market because the meat is excellent, the sale prices are great, and the butcher staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and goes out of its way to provide me with the high quality meat that brings me back to the store, time and again. Whenever I have company over, I always serve the meat from Community Market because I KNOW that it will be excellent. I just bought 2 whole boneless ribeyes and had them cut into steaks. The butcher who helped me, Kirk, is a great asset to this store and I am very appreciative of his help. You should be proud of Kirk and all of the staff at the Marysville Community Market.

Freshest In Town - 5/31/09
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful meat & produce selection. It is the freshest in town! I have purchased meat/produce from the Kroger and walmart stores (Kroger is the WORST)-they don't compare to the quality that communinty market has! Plus the employees are always so friendly! When I walk into community market, I am not "just another customer", I get waves and friendly "HI"! Toodie and other cashiers even remember my kids by name! Thank you for being such a wonderful store!

Special Order - 5/27/09
Today I talked to Keith Thompson about a problem I was having. One of the vendors at his store wasn't ordering a product that you guys carry. He took care of the problem and addressed all of my concerns. Apparently the vendor had been not ordering the product and he said he would make sure it was ordered for me this week. This is an example of customer engagement and why people go to your business instead of Krogers (which is the only other store that carrys that product in Bellefontaine). You should give the man a raise! Kudos to your DM for picking a great Store Manager!!!!!!

Helpful Manager - 5/27/09
I just wanted to let you know how helpful the manager, John, is at the Decatur, Indiana store. I had a coupon that you had sent me in your weekly e-mail and they were out of the product. He offered to substitute the item which wasn't necessary. He really goes above and beyond. I really like the fact that Community Markets is easy to get in and get out of unlike the larger box stores. It's a great convenience when time is limited. I also, wanted to comment on the fact that I appreciate you trying to provide local products. I think that's huge in today's economy!

Best Employees - 5/26/09
The employees at this store are the best, especially the lady in the deli! You would think that all the employees were the owners-they are a Blessing to Community Markets and the customers!






Helpful in every Department - 3/13/09
I spend a good share of money in this store and it is because of this young fellow (Dustin, the assistant manager). Dustin is always so pleasant, has a smile on his face, and is helpful in every department. He is the reason that I choose to spend my money here. And I am very happy to have found Dustin, he is just the GREATEST!!! And once again I can shop here in Mc Comb and enjoy my shopping experience. My husband and I have always tried to keep our business in town and as long as Dustin is out here at this store, we will.

Lunches From Great Scot - 3/10/09
Hello – Thank you for providing boxed lunches at cost for our meeting! The lunches were absolutely delicious! Not only were the boxes full of great, quality food, but your staff was extremely friendly and helped me carry the big box of lunches and box of water to the check-out counter and then to my car. I appreciate the care you put into your products and your customers. Thank you!!

Thanksgiving Turkey - 12/21/08
Mr. Needler, Thank you for the gift certicate and the turkey at Thanksgiving. You are such a good company to work for. After almost 25 years with Food Town and having to start all over I never thought that I would be so content to work in another grocery chain. I have been blessed in so many ways to be able to work at a job I love and to work for Great Scot. Thank you Again for everything. And may you and your family have a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year. Melody Bowman a happy employee

I Appreciate Your Boldness - 12/16/08
To Mr Michael S Needler, CEO Dear Mr Needler, Thank you for publicly supporting what Christmas is really about. Thank you for mentioning the birth of Jesus Christ, and actually using His name in your public thank-you note contained in this week's store ad. Thank you for calling this holiday "Christmas", instead of "Season" or "Holiday". I appreciate your boldness and good character, especially in this supposedly politically correct era. I will shop in your market in good conscience the next time I encounter one. Sincerely, Mrs. Isch

She Has Made Two Lifetime Shoppers Out Of Us - 9/26/08
My mother is 76 years old and shops at your store in McComb. One day she called me (along with all her friends) to rave about a young girl working there. She said she had never experience customer service like she did there. The girl helped her find italian seasoning (since my moms eyes aren't the greatest she had trouble reading the tiny lables) and then when it was time to check out she opened another register just for her. Once she was done checking her out she even left the register and carried out her groceries to the car. I went to visit my mom this past week and I went to pick up some groceries for her. My mother insisted I go to experience the customer service. Sure enough the girl was working (her nametag said Krystal Customer Service Manager. It makes perfect sence) and I got the same treatment as my mother. By the time she had carried my groceries out and unloaded them we had been talking in the parking lot for over 5 minutes. I felt as if I had known her for years. She gives you the feeling as if you're shopping at a store run by your own family and friends. Which makes it easier to cope with the idea of all the money youre spending for groceries. My mother and I felt after these experiences she deserved to have a little spotlight for her job well done. She has made two lifetime shoppers out of us.
