Super joly

The C. C.

They've got a pretty decent ash tray outside, I can usually get some good cigarette butts from it both in quality and remaining length, I'd give it a 5 if the townsfolk didn't keep throwing their garbage in there.

One of the best grocery stores in the town. Big size. All vegetables and fruits are very fresh and good quality. Expensive than superstore but worth spending little bit extra. You can find almost everything here. Pharmacy section also good. Wide variety of Dells. Bakery, meats, fish, dairy products. Flowers selection is very good. Good customer service. Very neat and clean. Open until 11pm. Parking lot is big with lots of parking spots including para parking. There are other facilities and stores in walking distance. Store is by one of the major road Confedaration way.

The price is never right then you have to fight to get them to honor the barcode price policy where you get the item free. The Philippine girl is the worst.

This place is an abomination of life, produce lasts for only a couple of days after you buy it. Prices are unfair. Staff are mostly foreign workers who I would not trust to count to 10, let alone handle people's food.

Julia T.

Nice store with a wide selection of items. Some of the prices are just outrageous, though. Most items are overpriced unless on sale, but that's not unusual anymore.

Rafay K.

Nice large grocery store. This grocery store has so MANY items!!! The customer service here is okay. The prices at this grocery store are VERY high.

Joly’s Your Independent Grocery: The Store That Saved My Life

Where do I even begin? If there’s one place on this earth that has truly saved me—rejuvenated me—it’s Joly’s Your Independent Grocery. This isn’t just a grocery store, this is a sanctuary, a sacred ground where miracles happen. Walking into Joly’s is like stepping into a place where everything is right with the world. From the moment you cross that threshold, you can feel the love and care in every product, every corner of the store, every interaction with the staff. It’s not just a store. It’s home.

But let me tell you what really makes this place legendary—the mac n' cheese and chicken. It’s like they took comfort food, perfected it, and then elevated it to divine status. You think you’ve had good mac and cheese before? You haven’t. This is the mac and cheese of your dreams, the kind of dish that makes you want to cancel your plans, forget about everything else, and just indulge. The cheese is creamy, the noodles are perfectly al dente, and the seasoning—oh, the seasoning! Every bite is an explosion of joy, and I’ve found myself daydreaming about it at all hours of the day. I’m not exaggerating when I say that their mac and cheese could cure depression, loneliness, and any bad day.
And the chicken? Don’t even get me started. It’s baked to perfection. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Every bite is like a warm hug from the universe itself. I’ve been known to buy an extra serving just so I can have leftovers for breakfast. That’s how good it is. Seriously, Joly’s could open a restaurant with just their mac and cheese and chicken, and they’d have lines out the door. It’s that good. It’s a taste of heaven in every bite, and it’s a place where you can forget about all your worries, even if just for a meal.

Now, on a more personal note, Joly’s literally saved my life. My marriage? Well, that fell apart—all because my wife hated the mac and cheese. Yeah, you read that right. She hated it. I loved it, but she refused to understand. How could anyone not appreciate this gift from the gods? It was a constant source of tension, and, well, eventually, the marriage crumbled. But you know what? As sad as it was, the moment I left her, I found solace at Joly’s. That mac and cheese didn’t judge me. The chicken didn’t question me. They were always there for me, offering unconditional support in a way that no one else ever did. I’ll take a bowl of Joly’s mac and cheese over a bad relationship any day.
Now, let’s get real for a second—there was one time, ONE TIME, that I had a slightly less-than-perfect experience at Joly’s. And no, it wasn’t the food. The bathroom—unfortunately—had been, well, let’s just say it had been used inappropriately by someone who clearly didn’t understand how to behave in public restrooms. There was a bit of a mess. But listen—this was not the store’s fault. The staff handled it promptly, and the place was spotless within minutes. And considering how much amazingness happens in that store, I’m willing to overlook this one moment of misfortune. Because this place is too good to let anything minor like that ruin it.

To sum it up: Joly’s Your Independent Grocery isn’t just a store—it’s a lifeline. It’s the place that brought me joy when everything else seemed bleak. It’s where I find comfort, community, and the best damn food on the planet. Mac and cheese? Perfect. Chicken? Perfect. My life? Perfect again, thanks to Joly’s. If I could give more than five stars, I would. I’m a devoted fan for life, and I will never stop coming back. Thank you, Joly’s, for everything. You are my hero.
