The Merc: Reviews & Ratings
Well new owners finally took over The Merc in the last six months or so and it's pretty much back to the old Merc before the terrible owners had it for a couple years and it went downhill. It's well stocked it's pretty much the same as the Merc in the old days. There's a pizza place in the same complex and those are the guys that bought the Merc and those are the guys that bought the Merc So they have a vested interest in making it succeed. I think they're well on their way.
Very nice! Well stocked and friendly employees!! Definitely recommend! It's nice to have this option in a pinch!
Nice people, good service. Great for quick purchases without having to drive to Bernalillo or Albuquerque.
Beautifully done and great products. All of Placitas is happy to have our beloved Merc back, under new owners.
Just opened under new management what a first class facility we have missed the Merc in Placitas very thankful they are back better than ever
New owners have done an amazing job with The Merc. A quaint store that has about everything you can imagine. I stopped in for some Ice Cream and a Hallmark card !! If I lived in Placitas, I'd never need to go shopping anywhere else. Beautiful store
Very convenient but are often low in stock.. if you don't mind paying a little more so you don't have to trek into town and go to the bigger stores it is fantastic
The Merc is the best! Placitas would be lost without it. They care about the community, and are service-oriented. They have water in the back for 50 cents a gallon, which is very convenient for those of us who struggle with our wells. They have all the basics, and considering it's a small convenience store, the prices are reasonable. Don't expect large grocery store prices, on the whole, but you may be surprised. They have fresh bread, good local beer on tap, and yummy homemade food like chili. I wish the produce was more seasonal, but otherwise, a great place to feel welcome and taken care of.
