Im almost certain that theyre taking free food from a nearby food pantry and reselling it here. Many of these brands arent sold in other parts of the store and there was even an Aldi brand item here.

WHY THERE IS NO FAIRPLAY IN LANSING IL WE NEED A GROCERY STORE IN LANSING IL SINCE ULRA FOODS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS

The sales are cool, but outside of that their regular items are extremely over priced. You definitely have to check expiration dates and look at the things you buy a lot of them are 1day away from rotting.

Such a clean store. Employees are always top notch. My family and I absolutely love the fresh produce and the fresh meat department. Always worth the trip.

Rude Cashiers . Need to work on customer care . What utterly baffled me was fact she was having a conversation with another customer and yelling at me like I didn’t speak English. As long as most of them work there you think they would be fired by now . This is why I do not enjoy going here.

I started shopping here years ago when I lived in Hazel Crest. I live 8 miles away now but the value and service here always brings me back. Tim and his deli staff are very good. Tim is one of the most knowledgeable people youll ever meet in this business. I sure do miss Vicky, though. Big Dominic and Ethele always treat you with respect at the register as does the younger Latina girl whose name I do not know. Nothing fancy about this place but the staff here is wonderful.

This place doesnt deserve a star. This place is a mere shadow of what it used to be. As a kid that store was clean and well kept. Now I wouldnt buy alpo from this place. There are always boxes everywhere and its not as clean as it was.

You wouldnt know from the outside, but this store has good produces and meat. The prices was surprisingly reasonable. I found items I havent found elsewhere. Never judge a book its cover. I found a new place to grocery shop.

Wow what can I say ? Love the atmosphere ! The prices are fantastic, the one cashier gave me a memorable moment. Im one who loves to find great customer service and this man at the check out has 5 star service down pack. He treated me like a soulstar! What a professional!

Review №21

I HATE THIS STORE!!!! smells like theyve mopped with an old mop and pine sol, trying to clean the smell of spilled rotting meat!!! .....where in this day and age Cant you buy Romaine lettuce.....Fairplay thats where!!! How did this store get left open and closed Jewel food store!?? Then the prices are unreasonable. I went in one day and looked in the fruit produce section and the FRESH pineapples were dried out! RIDICULOUS...its just so many unacceptable things at this store!

Love fair play. I always go here after the gym to quickly grab what I need. Prices are very good during their weekly sales. If you go in the mornings youre in and out.

Ka
Review №23

Couldnt get a cart despite inserting quarter several times into different cart slots.Wanted too much for prepackaged okra per pound and I think okra should be sold loose so that one can pick what s/he wants. Zucchini was overpriced as well. Im finding that although Fairplay is affordable I can beat their prices on a significant number of items by driving only two to three miles away.

The store was an obstacle course products wasnt put on the shelves. They were in the middle of the aisles I was praying I didnt knock anything over. It was ridiculous.

Review №32

Its hard to get someone to help you find things whe you have trouble finding it. I guess it set up that way, you will end up spending more than you plan, good for the store I guesd.

Review №33

THE STORE WAS NICELY STOCKED, VERY BUSY, JUST POPPIN! THE ONLY THING I WASNT CRAZY ABOUT, WAS THE LADY AT THE LIQUOR COUNTER, SHE HAD A LIL BIT OF DISPOSITION, DIDNT REALLY ENGAGE US!

Fairplay has some really nice employees and it has some good deals but the only thing I dont like is the long lines. And specially for the holidays is be so packed and so slow getting out the store

Not happy, Im a handicap person that needs a mobile chair to shop, fair play only have two chairs of which both needed to be charged, and so after waiting for 20 min I had to resort to getting a store shopping cart which was difficult for me, I would like to suggest that fair play acquire more mobile chairs for the disabled, after all we need to be recognized as a regular shopper too, this fairplay store is located in canteburry shopping plaza in Markham, IL, 160th kedzie ave, please take this complaint in advisement, thank you

It is a very decent store I mostly only get my Seafood there and the gentleman who weights on us is very friendly and very helpful when he is not there I bypass the seafood section all together because everyone does not act the way he does because he is very courteous and he cuts the fish exactly like you wanted

They have great service at Fairplay youre located between two main arteries off of 159th Street in Markham Illinois the tollway 294 going Southbound and I-57 going north and south bound you can quickly reach it from either direction off the tollway or the expressway Within less than 5 minutes give or take try it you might like it prices are reasonable I suggest this store to any out-of-towner theres a Walgreens nearby also a White Castle burger place as well as a currency exchange if needed anyone getting off of 294 Tollway and I-57 Highway should be impressed with that particular area theres a rib house call it Senators ribs great great place they open 5 days a week close on Monday
