I have never seen Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls, but would be tempted to try a pan. Does anyone shop at Meijer? CLICK HERE TO GO TO Tomturbomatic's LINK | ||

I've had the Rhodes at my sister's a few times, and they're ok, but not near as good as her homemade rolls or cinnamon bread. I can hardly stand ANY of the Pillsbury refrigerated dough products - sorry Doughboy! I shop at Meijer once every couple of weeks. It's about 20 minutes away. Never had their brand of cinnamon rolls. | ||

 Some Rhodes products are available here but I don't recall having yet purchased any. Will check for cinnamon rolls at next opportunity. Sister Schubert's is also available. I may have tried those a couple times. I usually buy pastries from the local donut shop, the Czech bakery/smokehouse, the local grocery/bakery, or Walmart. | ||

Is Meijers like a Super Target or a Super WalMart? Is it more grocery than general merchandise or vice versa or about equal? Thanks. Our Target stores have the Rhodes products. It might be just the ones with a grocery section. | ||

Meijer The grocery section is about one third of the total selling floor area, with the remainder being general merchandise and pharmacy. Food selection similar to Kroger. They also usually have an outside garden center, but much smaller than those at Lowe's, HD, etc. | ||

Meijer differs from Super Target and Wal-Mart by having a legitimate supermarket (no apologies, emphasis on local goods and produce...keep away when they have Michigan Apple Week) together with very respectable general merchandise (midway in quality/style between Target and WM). It's the meltingpot in the Midwest that WM is in rural areas...around Michigan and Ohio it's a "no apology" store...anyone of any income level shops there with no apologies. They manage to do this with the UFCW, to boot. They started as a supermarket in Grand Rapids in the 30s...their first hypermarket was in about 1960. Supposedly Sam Walton modeled Hypermart USA after them.

Rhodes Rhodes cinnamon rolls and regular dinner rolls are fantastic. Big Meijer shopper here. Best bang for your buck and selection. | ||

I'd be skeptical, though, if these were anything but the successor to Merico refrigerated dough--they were the only private-labeler of refrigerated dough for a long time. Meijer may have specified a different formula (the champions for that is Loblaw in Canada--President's Choice), but I'd be surprised that the Meijer product was substantively different than you'd get at any of the first-class supermarkets with a reasonably well-developed private label program. I'm all for a taste-off, then :)
