Cub Foods

I’m a big fan of Cub Foods. They have a large variety of everything, open ²⁴⁄₇ including most holidays and they are competitive when it comes to price. I’ve never purchased something out of date or bad from here. Fruit and Vegetables are as fresh as can be. Service at the checkouts is usually very quick unless the day before Thanksgiving where its still moves along.

Better selection than other grocery stores and the price is comparable too. Also heard the employees are treated and paid well. Definitely recommend it.

This Cub Foods used to have a «natural» food section. However, sometime in the last four years while I lived on the east coast this store did away with this section for unknown reasons. Trying to find all the items I used to purchase in that section now presumably buried in the rest of the large store has been impossible. Recently I made my final attempt, but the rotting and moldy food on the one wall of organic produce in the produce section turned me off completely. The prices were just insane as well. Maybe there is a good reason why organic produce/​food is a lot cheaper in Boston compared to Duluth, MN, less transportation and more competition perhaps, but why should I pay $$$ for rotten or rotting organic produce? The Whole Foods Co-​op in Duluth also has inflated prices, but at least their produce isn’t rotten and I can find the other organic items I need in short order. Get a clue Cub.

just wasted an hour trying to order a gift card… made me enter same info 6x and still wont process order!!! uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

It’s nice to have a large grocery store to pick up some snacks and drinks. The clerks were helpful to point out where things were. Also, it is located right next to the mall which is super convenient.

I’ve been coming to this Cub for probably two or three years. I switched over from going to SuperOne. SuperOne was fine, but Cub’s aisles are wider and this Cub was nearer to me vs. SuperOne, and it seems like their prices are a bit lower and selection a little broader. They have a fair amount of Mexican foods, which I appreciate. I particularly think an African American woman named Dee should be called out for special recognition for the amazing job she does as a cashier. I remember one trip I took this summer where she pulled my tacos out for special bagging to keep them from being potentially broken in another grocery bag. She also made a point of telling me she could ring up my watermelon and Pepsi without physically grabbing it, so I didn’t have to put it on the conveyor belt. And she worked hard to help make sure I got every dime from coupons and got my gas card swiped. In essence, she made my trip memorable because she seemed to care about me having a good experience.
She was obviously not in it only for the paycheck.
Thanks,

So, don’t go here for organic food, lemme tell ya. I found Bob there. An expensive Bob. It was Bob’s almond flour. And you will pay the price for it. $ 12 you can get yourself a small measly pound of it. Is it worth it? Yes, if you are sensitive to gluten, or are looking for a low carb alternative. But do you buy it here? I wouldn’t, considering it runs around $ 9-​$ 10.
Cub foods also carries Siggi’s! Be prepared to pay the price for those too. $ 2.19 each. When I stopped by there today the Acai flavor was the last one, so those go pretty quick :(. They were stocked up on the pomegranate flavor though.
Also picked up some raspberries (Nonorganic), & I open the container today, and I find there’s MOLD inside! Then as I start to realize after I eat a few, that inside the berry it has a weird seafoam green tint… not normal. So basically the whole pack I had to throw away. BOO.
What I really like about this store is the ethnic food section. You can even purchase Marmite here! Do you know how rare that nasty stuff in the US is? Even though it’s a British spread, it’s found in the German food section. Also there’s a small Indian foods part too, in addition to Italian, Hispanic & Asian.

Thanks Cub!
I needed a last minute bday cake for my Mom. I was surprised to see the great selection on a Tuesday morning. But I found a gorgeous cake … and was able to get them to personalize it too. :)
This used to be the primary grocery store I’d frequent when I lived in Duluth.
Friendly staff, large selection, and clean!
