Soares is one of the only grocery shop in the Duluth area with enough choice for the day-to-day. The staff is nice and friendly and the butcher section is usually filled up nicely.
However, since the change of ownership, the quality of the products is not as satisfying and a lot more expensive.
The freshness of the meat is very random; we had to throw some steaks or chicken away more than once due to the smell and obvious overage, to the point that we had to find another solution for meat products if we need to be sure they are really fresh. Similarly, vegetables are sometimes overripe or even spoiled, which made for some disappointing grocery trips for basic products one would expect to find.
