![]() Woodman's does not offer any type of meat, Deli or artisanal product that I would purchase. To answer the OP succinctly, the answer is, no. Sine i live in the Town of Somers Wisconsin, I'm not too far from Woodman's and can offer a perspective on grocery shopping at Woodman's versus Chicago. It might be worth a stop but definitely not worth a dedicated trip. And yes, at the moment, construction is making the place even more annoying than it ordinarily is. The space is huge but bigger isn't always better. It's also annoying that they don't take credit cards. It's mostly mass-produced stuff that can be had at many other (WI) retail outlets. I go there for New Glarus beer and a couple of WI-made guilty-pleasure cheese products, which certainly aren't artisanal in any way. ![]() To echo Elfin's comments, I think there are a few items at Woodman's that might be worth a stop but overall, the place (at least the Kenosha location) is annoying 6 ways to Tuesday. Bottom line? Go for the booze and skip the rest. Picked up some Four Roses pretty cheap but you have to know your prices of other brands to secure a deal. I focused on the American whisky, sour mash and bourbon area but did notice a large Canadian whisky selection with names I have never seen. Plenty of local brews chilling in the wall coolers. We left with some sale shampoo and Sprechters and Point Root Beer and Gingerale. The store's layout is confusing-pop sold in various places as well as frozen foods. We really wanted to focus on the cheese section and left without a single piece. The packaged meats (brats, deli meats had nothing special, local or unusual save Usingers which you can get nearly everywhere. ![]() And the fresh deli counter had only the basics-salami, roast beef, turkey and stick cheese with the worst slicing cuts I have ever seen. The meat department was HORRENDEOUS! A small section of organic and the rest really looked like outlet meat. The produce section had nothing special and the displays were confusing ie organics vs regular produce-especially with the large cardboard bins of melons, onions, and apples on the floor in the middle of the aisles with no bags in clear sight. There is a huge bakery section that has packaged breads, cakes, sweets, Kringles, etc but no fresh bakery on site. The store is huge and looks like a cross between Costco/Sams and a grocery outlet. Be warned the highway construction is a hot mess around all Kenosha Exits so avoid any rush hour time. Bottom line? Go for the booze and skip the rest.Įlfin wrote:Finally made the trip to Woodman's. ![]()
