Joe Canal’s Discount Liquors

I bought a bottle of wine here. It was opened within two weeks of purchase. Upon opening it had a vinegar like odor and tasted worse. I contacted the bottler who requested information from the label and bottle. Needless to say the use by date had passed three months ago and the bottler was surprised that Canals still had it on the shelf. The manufacturer is replacing the bottle of wine. So done with Canals and their old/​inferior product.

Nice place to stock up on BOOOOOZE! Some specials, don’t need a club card and friendly, helpful staff! Not much more to be said. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Organized, clean and everything right in its place. Couldn’t ask for more from a liquor store.

Only thing that good about this place is that I can get decent beer here. Really overpriced, not very safe looking place, and customer service could be a lot better. I worked there for maybe a week last year and they have NO patience for people who get hurt on the job. I was glad to leave there. OSHA should inspect that place. They need to fix a bunch of thing.

I go to Joe Canal’s, uh, regularly. I’d probably list it as my favorite liquor store for day-​to-​day needs. There’s always something good on sale, and they have a decent selection of whatever you are looking for: wine, beer, whiskey. The service is usually friendly but they get you through the checkout quickly.
Bottom line: Their merchandise makes me more attractive and fun to be with.

Go elsewhere for alcohol. I politely asked to use the restroom and was told that it was only available for elderly women and children. My response to the shaggy long haired blond worker was that I would be buying several cases of beer elsewhere.

The prices are much higher than any other Canals I have visited, and I have been to 5 in the NJ area. The store is not clean and is difficult to get around. The place is cluttered and the parking lot is an eye sore. I avoid this Canals at all costs.

This store does not have discount price’s and they followed me around like I was going to steal something. Just cause I’m black doesn’t mean I’m going to rob you! Also my female friend had a job there and the son of the owner gave her the job, tried to get a date, then she said no and lost all her hours!

Their prices aren’t the best, and they are well stocked for a store in South Jersey (which isn’t saying much), still the service here is below poor. For example, I had misplaced my licenses after work but had my passport on me. I have used it before to get alcohol several times so I saw no problem in this. The cashier ask me for my I.D. so to my surprise when I handed her my passport she told me that they would not except it, that I would need a drivers license. I explained to them that this was legal identification and that I did comply with her request by presenting photo I.D. At this point the other cashier decided to further humiliate me, and started arguing with me. I was told that the store only excepted drivers licenses, yet nowhere in the store was this posted. They pushed my items to the side and told me that I would not be making a purchase in the store until I found PROPER identification. I work in the service industry and from day one was taught never to argue with or belittle customers, backtalk and rudeness prohibited, as well as helping not hindering the customer. They failed at all three and therefore have failed to ever retain business from me again.
I went to another store down the street and when asked for I.D. they were fine with a current U.S. passport. No problem at all.
*IF I COULD GIVE 0 STARS I WOULD. You just don’t treat people like this.

I made a purchase here for $ 203.29. I went to Canal’s Liquor in May’s Landing a few days later. The same item was $ 135. When I brought this to the attention of Josh at Joe Canals Discount Liquors in Millville, I was treated rudely. BUYERS BEWARE!!!

By far best liquor store in Cumberland county. Their wine and micro-​brew selection is awesome as well as their spirits. I’m a big beer fan and they always keep up with different seasonal brews and have a huge selection of amazing micro brews many other liquor stores don’t offer. They are moderately priced and well organized as well.

Having just moved from a location very close to Total Wine in DE, I find the prices at Joe Canal’s to be astronomical. That being said, this store seems to stock anything a gal could want in the way of libations! Always well stocked and clean. The employees are helpful. They even have my favorite Japanese Whisky, but I’ll never get used to these prices and sales tax on top of that! @@ Oh, and what is up with the parking lot? Huge speed bumps that are sure to throw your car out of alignment!

Huge selection with a young staff… spent about $ 877 for 4^th of July weekend… Awesome party. What I remember. Thanks Joe Canal’s!

This is my preferred local liquor store in that it has the best variety and generally the best prices.
A good selection of beer and wine to suit most simple to moderate palates. This used to be Shop Rite’s liquor warehouse. It has that club store atmosphere. Check out lines are narrow and often backed up.
The help is friendly enough.
As someone else mentioned, the parking lot is problematic. The location of the store is not optimal as it is just past the strip mall entrance. Lots of traffic attempts to beat the light and scoot through. The speed bumps have done nothing to deter that. For some time the back entrance was closed to thwart this, but that penalized Canal’s customers as that is the out for many of them. Problematic is all that there is.

They have a vast selection of wines and the beer is fairly priced. Their workers sometimes help to carry large orders and load your car. Everyone is personable and the owner is there most of the time. They still do not beat Railroad Tavern’s prices on Rt. 47 directly across from the old Kerr glass.

The Canal’s liquor store chain in South Jersey is held in such high regard by the locals, that there was bound to be someone who tried to hijack the brand. It’s a convoluted tale, but it’s best chalked-​up to a «family squabble». That’s why there is a «Canal’s Discount Liquors» chain and a «Joe Canal’s Discount Liquors» chain. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a «Bob Canal’s» lurking out there somehwere. They’re all related, but not the same company.
That said, the Joe Canal’s in Millville stocks a diverse selection of beer, wines and liquors. Better than your run-​of-​the-​mill liquor store .
Good prices and because they are a high volume store, you won’t get skunky, stale beer most of the time.
Be careful in the parking lot. People trying to beat the traffic light zoom through the lot as a shortcut – with little regard for patrons – in their eagerness to get into the Cumberland Crossing Shopping Center, which is adjacent to Canal’s.

This particular Joe Canal’s must be the step-​child of the Canal’s chains because it’s been here for 10 years and still isn’t on their website. Bizarre.
Anyway, like all Joe Canal’s, this one rocks. It’s a huge warehouse of all kinds of alcohol. Wines from all over the world– some of which is bought in bulk and sold for a song. Love my 3 dollar bottles of tempranillo when they are available. They’ve always got some good cheapo wines on clearance, but it’s hit or miss though. They do have a sommelier at Joe Canal’s so you can always get advice if you need it. They also have a full complement of liquor, kegs, drink mixes, snacks, etc. They’ve also got great selection of beers. Tons of varieties are available pre-​refrigerated, and many more micro brews and imports are avalailable uncooled. They have some of my favorites such as Belgian Krieks and Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stoudt. I’m not a big drinker and picky about what I’ll drink, so I appreciate Joe Canal’s wide selection of the unusual.
