Checkers has the lowest prices on everything it sells, a great selection, and a grocery and fuel discount card program. It is the only grocery store in Lawrence worth going to if you are comfortable shopping with cost-wise and poor people.

Lawrence grocery stores seem to appeal to customer types.

Sprouts and Natural Groceries appeal to shoppers who eat with only one hand (because they are busy patting themselves on the back with the other hand). Admittedly, Sprouts has great sale prices and some unique items (ex. elk, bison, and kangaroo meat)

Dillons and HyVee appeal to suckers who like to get great sale prices on overpriced items (20% off a 160% markup) and free tanks of gas with their own money (10 cents off per gallon when buying an item markedup $1.25). I've walked out of both of these stores after being appalled by the cost of items. I've walked out of HyVee after being disgusted that the whole store smelled like old fish rotting in the fish market.

WalMart appeals to shoppers who like the convenience of grocery and socks in the same building. I don't know if anyone goes to WalMart just for groceries.

Aldi appeals to shoppers who want a few select items for cheap.

Target doesn't appeal to anyone. The grocery section is a ghost town.

Checkers appeals to cost-wise, poor, and college student shoppers. The store is dated but clean. The selection includes bulk items, organics, high quality fruit, good meat, local foods, mexican and asian foods, Krispy Kreme, local baked goods, local meats and dairy, and pretty much anything you would want.
