5-Gallon Ice Cream Barrels

This unique bulk ice cream offering is repeatedly cited as a one-of-a-kind convenience for large events, making it a key draw.

You can buy five gallon barrels of ice cream there, I don't know anywhere else that does that locally in a grocery store.
I personally order my Bulk Ice Cream for Epler's Church 🍓 Strawberry Festival.

Unbeatable Pricing & Exceptional Value

At Ja Mar Groceries, our mission is to keep grocery bills low without compromising quality. Customers routinely gush over our bargain-friendly prices—often half the cost you’d pay at a full-size supermarket. From everyday items like flour and sugar sold in bulk to lunchmeat and cheese, we’re proud to offer savings that make a real difference in your weekly budget. One shopper noted, “They have by far the lowest prices on deli items and many other things you pay a hefty price on at a full-size grocery store.” We believe that great food should be within everyone’s reach, and our wallet-friendly pricing reflects that commitment.

Warm, Personable Service in a Family-Owned Setting

Step through our doors and you’ll immediately sense the small-town, family-owned feel that sets Ja Mar Groceries apart.

That genuine, welcoming attitude fosters a sense of community—our team isn’t just providing groceries; they’re building relationships one friendly interaction at a time.

Freshness & Quality You Can Trust

We understand that freshness matters, especially when it comes to perishables. Our deli meats and cheeses are known for excellent quality and taste, making sandwich-time a delight. Many customers praise the freshness of our in-house offerings, noting how perfectly sliced meats and crisp, flavorful cheeses elevate their meals. We encourage shoppers to check expiration dates on sensitive items to ensure they leave with only the best—but more often than not, patrons marvel at how our dairy, produce, and deli counters rival any boutique market in town.

Curated Selection of Produce & Pantry Staples

Ja Mar Groceries strikes a balance between traditional grocery essentials and unique specialty items. Our fruit and vegetable section features crisp apples, leafy greens, seasonal berries, and other farm-fresh produce that bring vibrant color and nutrition to your table. On the pantry shelf, you’ll find bulk flour, sugar, and grains at discounted rates—perfect for home bakers, large families, or anyone who appreciates the convenience of stocking up. As one shopper shared, “Great little spot with good prices on many products. Many bulk goods such as flour and sugar.”

One-of-a-Kind Bulk & Specialty Offerings

What truly makes Ja Mar Groceries stand out are our specialty bulk options. We’re the only local grocery in Kutztown offering five-gallon barrels of ice cream—an absolute must for church picnics, family reunions, and summer festivals. “I personally order my bulk ice cream for Epler’s Church Strawberry Festival,” says a delighted customer. Beyond ice cream, our homemade cream cheese flavors—like strawberry and chive—have become signature favorites for breakfast spreads and bagel brunches. These unique offerings keep customers coming back for more, event after event.
