The prices are way too high and overboard...It will nosedive and end up just being a quick stop for milk or eggs for most people...When a store like this has its prices higher than Wegman's, you'll be seeing me shopping at Walmart's Foodmarket and at Wegman's also...Their Deli has much room for improvements...Let's get homemade salads in there..these store bought salads that they scoop out of a big plastic jug are no good...The restaurant should be opened with a buffet for breakfasts, lunches, and dinners...That sells ! And it would do well...as people want to get in and out ! The parking is good...But they no longer have the BagBoys take your cart of groceries to your car...That was an asset the Foodmart had...Once they get the prices down, they will be back in business, until then I will continue down at Walmart and Wegmans !

I have found that some of the prices are really good, and some not. For example, I can get a box of Cap'n Crunch at WalMart for about $2.20 -- at Jubilee it's $4.09. Ouch!

i dont like the jubilee at all, the aisles are to thin, the meat case is tiny, and the prices are terrible. If you want a real store where you can get in and get out take a short drive down 352 and try out Miniers, prices are good, the meat is excellent and you cant beat their prices, and best of all the service is outstanding, everyone is polite and they still take your groceries out to your car for you

In comparing the Food Mart and Jubilee, the aisles are about the same distance apart and the meat section takes up the same number of coolers. I have found the meat selection very good at Jubilee, and the customer service has been acceptable. From what I hear, Jubilee is aware of the pricing problems and is working to make adjustments. I just hope they don't wait too long, or their customer base will be completely gone.

To the lady that wants to shop at Walmart! I think that you should. However, good luck with having someone help you find something in that store, good luck getting quality produce, All walmart has is rotten crap in a box, Good luck finding quality meat at walsmart that doesnt spoil and is surely not cut fresh. So have fun at Walmart!

I never said I do all my shopping at WalMart. I usually buy my produce at Wegmans and meats from Jubilee or Miniers. By the way, Cap'n Crunch price is down at Jubilee to $3.49.

I hope this post is NOT from the owner of Jubilee.

My thought is that the store went into the market strong (as they should), but consumers were overwhelmed by the prices. The prices were lowered, but it was tough to recover. I will miss Jubilee, as I miss the Food Mart. I hope another grocery store comes in.
