The secret is out with Cheney Express, the clearance grocery store part of the nearly 400,000-square-foot Cheney Brothers distribution center.

The clearance grocery store tucked away in Port St. Lucie’s Southern Grove offers shoppers discounted groceries both individually and in bulk, similar to wholesalers Costco Wholesale and Sam’s Club.

However, shoppers don’t need a paid membership to enter and shop at Cheney Express.

When you stop into Cheney’s, you’ll be met with an array of goods ranging from food to cleaning products to dishware. Prices will vary, and could end up being more expensive or affordable than at wholesalers or neighboring grocery stores, such as Publix and Aldi.
