Nelson’s Market Place – Faribault Grocery Store

Filed under Featured Businesses
Nelson’s Market Place features only USDA Choice Angus beef in our meat department. It is the highest grade of beef in town. You’ll find our beef is more flavorful, tender and juicy than our competitors beef. We also refuse to use additives in our beef. Our competitors add a salt water solution to their beef to artificially tenderize a lower grade of beef. At Nelson’s we believe in providing our guests with fresh high quality Angus beef that is naturally tender, juicy and flavorful. Finally, our beef and pork is cut fresh daily by our experienced butchers on premise. We can cut any size steak or chop you wish fresh for you upon request. Our competitors beef and pork is cut in factories hundreds of miles away, and then shipped to their stores in vacuum sealed packages that again artificially add shelf life to their product. At Nelson’s, we believe that cutting our beef and pork fresh daily is in your best interest. So if you want the best beef and pork in town for your family, shop Nelson’s Market Place.
Nelson’s also features an award winning bakery department featuring fresh baked breads, pastries, pies and cookies. We employ the very best cake decorators in the area who are able to decorate anything from a simple birthday cake to elaborate tiered fondant wedding cakes or beautiful dessert cakes and tortes. We again differentiate ourselves from our competitors by baking our breads, and pastries fresh daily on premise. You’ll find that our competitors use bake off products that come in frozen and are thawed and put on display for sale.
So if you want the best grocery shopping experience, in a clean, friendly, low priced supermarket, with the freshest products available, you’ve come to the right store. Nelson’s Market Place where you’ll find “Higher Standards and Lower Prices”!
