100% Customer Satisfaction
Quality customer service is a top priority at MaineSource. We train our employees and select our products with that goal in mind. People like doing business with people they trust. That’s why our employees listen carefully to what you're looking for and respond to your needs with excellent products. Our goal is your 100% satisfaction in our products. If for any reason you are not fully satisfied, return the item to your local MaineSource store to receive a full refund.

Value
At MaineSource, we’re as much about value as we are about great food. By “value” we mean competitive prices on the food your family uses most. There are no clubs to join or membership fees to pay, just great prices on quality products, every day. That way you can afford to feed your family restaurant-quality, nutritious meals without breaking the bank.

Green Matters
Being green is more than a trend; it’s a value we’ve put into action through innovative, eco-conscious programs and initiatives. MaineSource is making green-minded decisions and continuing to seek out green programs, services, and products – such as organic produce – that make it simple and cost effective for you to go green.

We view every MaineSource customer as a partner in our goal of a better, greener future. We hope you’ll join us and make a difference in protecting and preserving our planet.

Check out the ways we’ve gone green:

  • We sell reusable bags at MaineSource stores.
  • Chemicals used in MaineSource stores are being switched over to a new selection of “green” cleaning products which are better for the environment.
  • We offer many environmentally conscious products such as organic produce, natural meats (beef, pork, chicken and fish), recycled and biodegradable paper products and plasticware.
  • Many ethical Fair Trade-certified products are available such as coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar, rice and bananas.
  • MaineSource stores offer wild-caught frozen and fresh seafood from fisheries that meet the standards of the Marine Stewardship Council.
  • Our newest locations will be part of the green initiative with installation of motion-detecting switches and high-efficiency light bulbs, LED lighting for better efficiency and lower energy use, an environmentally friendly glycol refrigeration system offering reduced energy consumption, and an anti-sweat heating system for commercial refrigeration doors that reduces energy requirements.

When customers bring their own eco-friendly reusable bags to the store they receive a 5¢ discount. This helps in our efforts to conserve the consumption of plastic shopping bags and make a significant economic impact.

Employment
At MaineSource stores, we’ve created a team of dedicated professionals to ensure customer satisfaction. We want to be a valuable resource that customers can turn to with any question or problem – and get results.
