This place has been a Rockford staple forever, and for good reason. They have pork, beef, and sampler ‘boxes’ where you can stock up the freezer and save up to 15−20% or more vs a grocery store, and the quality is always first-rate. I also love the Polish deli meats and the homemade jerky! Also, while you are at the counter, notice the ANTIQUE cooler door and the conveyor that they use to roll in the hanging meats. It’s a neat store that reminds me of when I was a little kid. You don’t find neat little details like that large chain supermarkets or the grocery aisles of Wal-Mart or Target. Penguin comes with my highest recommendation.

Best polish sausage and house-smoked meats in the area. The sauerkraut in the cooler is a meal onto itself! Ethnic bread assortment trucked in fresh from chicago friday mornings– go early, the locals will take their pick first!
