“I came here with my grandparents, and now my son and his family shop here.”
“My history with Five Star goes back to my childhood — I came here with my grandparents, and now my son and his family shop here. That’s four generations. The employees are so friendly and respectful. They know my children, my grandchildren, even vacations we’ve been on. Their meat department is incomparable to other stores in this area.”

“These customers are amazing!”
“I came here 48 years ago, never heard of Knox, Indiana, and I’ve been here ever since. These customers are amazing — it’s a pull-together, work-together community. We have a good number of people that have worked with us over 30 years. We’ve built our business on our meat prices. I guarantee you can’t go 30 miles in any direction and have anybody touch our meat prices. If you’ll buy your meat at our store, you’re more than likely going to buy your groceries. Every week we put 3 to 5 items on the front page below cost to keep people in town. That’s what we do. That’s who we are. Five Star— it’s the world’s largest meat market. Don’t forget, we sell groceries here too.”

“I grew up in this community and remember shopping at Five Star with my mom when I was a kid. I’ve known Rick and the crew for years, and it’s always been more than just a grocery store. Five Star has always given back, supporting organizations and being part of everything that happens here. That’s what makes it such an important part of this community.”

“Next year I’ll be here 50 years, and in that time I’ve had over half a million people come through my line. My customers are great, and I always say if each one of them had given me a dollar, I could’ve retired by now! But I stay because I love the people — it’s like a party every day.”

We’ve been coming here at least 30 or 40 years. I like Five Star, and I like Rick — he’s a heck of a guy, very helpful and very friendly. The people here do their best to serve you, and they give back to the community.
lived in this community for over 80 years, and Five Star has always been the place to go since they opened back in the 60s. They are so community oriented. Rick and his crew have been big supporters of our foundation ever since we started in 2016. They are committed to the community, and the community is committed to Five Star.”

I worked here in high school in the deli and as a cashier, and I really enjoyed it. The people are special and nice, and they know when people are having hard times. I live 45 minutes away, and I still come to this store to do most of my grocery shopping. The quality you can’t beat.

“We love it here.”
“If you want something special, you come to Five Star”
We’ve been coming here since I was a little kid. My mom and grandmother always shopped here. It’s close, it’s convenient — it’s only a mile from the house. We love it here.
Some of the girls have been here for years, and you just get so they know you and you know them. They are very helpful and thoughtful. If you want something special, you come to Five Star — you can find it. They always have the latest stuff.

This community — it’s a small community, everybody knows everybody. I’m watching people hug each other when they walk in the door. Coming from just south of Indianapolis, I felt very well received. People are generally pretty happy and willing to help you.
“It’s the people!”
“Rick is the best”
I have been shopping at Five Star for about 50 years. I like the meat department and the prices are good. The people are friendly, and Rick is the best — he always greets me by my first name, and that makes you feel good.
“I’ve never had a problem.”
I have done the commercials for this store for probably 50 years. Mary Sue Howard and I once figured out how many customers had gone through her checkout line — half a million. She came here right out of high school and still is here. It’s the people, and Rick makes it all worthwhile.
“Five Star always gave back to the community”
“Five Star always gave back to the community — to school activities and local charities. They were very generous, and I’ll always remember it as an honor to be part of a family that gave back like that.”
It is very nice for the community. It’s in the neighborhood, easy access. Very nice people work here — they’re always helpful. I’ve never had a problem.
We like to meet here at Five Star. The prices are good, it’s convenient, and everyone’s nice. This place has been here for 50 years, and they have everything you need.
