Aggressive parking enforcement and safety concerns regarding store environment.

Business reply on Google

Hi Matt, We are sorry to hear about your frustrations. Please know, Needler's Fresh Market has no control over the monitoring in the parking garage. The parking garage is owned by Citimark, whom hires Denison parking to monitor the lot and ticket cars. If you would like to leave your contact information, we can pass it along to Citimark. Also, please know that we always strive to keep the best prices for our customers. As a locally owned & operated grocery store, we need to adjust with the other markets in the industry to stay as a business. I would encourage you to sign up for a loyalty account to give you the best deals on coupons and other promotions. We hope to see you again soon!
