Lin’s Marketplace

You got to buy their freshly made smoked ribs on Fridays. they are delicious and a steal

When I don’t feel up to baking birthday cakes, Lin’s is my go to place. They usually do a great job on my custom ordered cakes. However, I was disappointed one time when the guy in the bakery couldn’t write Happy Birthday on one of my cakes… He said his handwriting was awful. And the girls in the deli said they had too much to do and couldn’t help. He ended up giving me the bag of frosting and I had to write on my own cake…
As for anything else in the store, I go 3 minutes down the road to Walmart… Lin’s is over priced on everyday groceries.

We stay in an rv park within walking distance. Early hours, good enough bakery and meats. Friendly. Always enough checkers.

Lin’s is a Kroger establishment I believe. This store is pretty basic, it has everything you might need. Surprisingly, beef jerky was really cheap here, a great snack to load up on before your hikes at Zion.
Except I came for bandaids. They had none.
Seriously?

We stopped by to stock up on some camping «essentials», ie, an assortment of cookies, snack foods, and other such caloric disasters when we were visiting Zion’s. The service was great, and they had several taste sample tables, which is A-​OK in my book. A nice guy in the bakery talked me into getting a box of seasonal pumpkin cookies, which barely survived the trip back to the cabin. They had e writhing we needed and were very affordable– a welcome surprise for a smallish-​town grocery store.

What Ron wrote — «a solid, full-​service supermarket» sums it up pretty well. They do have a pharmacy inside, but last-​time I price-​checked a prescription, the same item/​same quantity was about $ 65 at Lin’s & $ 25 at the Walmart 2 miles to the West.
The one item that usually gets me in the door on a routine basis is a type of bread that they bake there, though it’s a gamble as to whether or not any will be left when I get there in the late afternoon.
Staff are friendly & helpful, even asking if you’d like assistance transporting your groceries to your car.
They are a major part of the local community, allowing special local charities to raise funds on their property, etc — things that the big chains can’t do – and a lot of their cashiers & baggers seem to be local high-​school students.
The one complaint I have is the guy in their bakery department who seems to love to use the PA system to rant on & on about fresh bread coming out of the oven, etc. It’s OK to a point, but this guy just likes hearing himself talk!
Another thing, though I’m not sure if they can control it or not –most weekends in the Spring/​Summer it seems like I always see the same husband & wife parked near State Street advertising puppies for sale out of their van.
