This is by far one of my favorite places to shop in Columbia, even though it is out of the way for me. They have a great selection of items, and an extensive wine and liquor department. If you are into organics and vegetarian items, they have one of the largest selections of any grocery store in town.
Another feature of Gerbes I really like is the double coupon promotion they have going on weekly. They will double any coupon up to 50-cents in value. There is no limit on the number they will double.
Friendly people, great service and good selection make Gerbes my favorite grocery!
