Market Basket

I absolutely despise having to go to this Market Basket. That being said, I LOVE Market Basket as a whole and shop the chain often. The Bridgewater store is my preferred location, but oftentimes coming from the north, I have to settle with Brockton, as it’s on the way home and closer. Obviously, my gripe is not with the product or pricing, as its all the same at my favored Bridgewater. Both stores get very very busy and lots of traffic on weekends and around holidays. However, I believe that the Brockton staff are less equipped to deal with the heavy crowds and how they’ve interacted with me (or ignored, for that matter) my last few visits is cause for my low rating.
I was in the «Under 20 Items» lane one of these times and had all my things to purchase on the conveyor belt. As the cashier turned away from her previous customer to do what I thought was say «hello» to me as I did to her, instead I got a scowl and her exclaiming, «this is 20 items only.» I didn’t understand, as she wasn’t clear speaking, and then she pointed to the lamp above our heads. I said, «oh, there’s too many here?» and counted everything on the belt to 22, then looked up and said, «oh there’s 2 more, is that ok?» She stood there staring at me blankly, then rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath as she began begrudgingly ringing my things through. The other experiences weren’t in the same type of situation or context, but encapsulated other rude unhelpful employees nonetheless. Only go here when I HAVE to.

3.5 stars. I like this Market Basket but beware: go during the week because the weekends are frightening! Long lines at checkout and forget about the deli! I’ve waited up to 20 minutes to be served. I do love the rotisserie chicken. Also, parking lot is huge. It’s the closest one to me right now so I have to say that’s why I choose it so much. Prices are great just like all Market Baskets. I have to say that most employees I’ve encountered are polite but the people at the deli are extra awesome! Makes the wait bearable.

Great prices. Amazing deli selection with prices much below stop and shop or shaws. Excellent quality. Easy to find location. Very busy for a reason. I but pastrami here for 7 dollars a pound that is 10 dollars at stop and shop. Long checkout lines yet they move quickly. Several in store dining options with good food at low prices. Because they are so busy, parking is tough despite a big lot. Deserves 5 stars!

I always stop by around lunchtime to grab one of their hot subs from the prepared food section. The sandwiches are very good considering the price. Especially either the meatloaf or sausage sandwiches.
On Monday though I took a chance and got one of their beef burritos. It’s now Thursday and I’m reasonably sure that same burrito is still sitting undigested in my stomach. This can’t be good.

It’s not like the Market Basket in Chelsea, but it will do. You cant beat the prices. They do not have as much quantity as a Super Stop & Shop at this location. I was looking for Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal & they had only chocolate? I even asked a clerk & said oh we must be only stocking this one for now? Umm ok??? But I bought a $ 100 worth of groceries & had like 9 bags. The aisles are narrow but for the most part it a clean store & well stocked of what they do carry. It’s just overwhelming coming here on a Sunday though!

Market basket your BACK!!! just came from the store and it was like coming
Home! Great prices with outstanding quality! Workers all smiling, and shoppers looking happy! Thanks Arty T. Keep up the good work. Thanks again!,

This place is a mad house. I have to game plan whenever I get the courage to come here. When I leave, I swear to myself I’m not coming back. I would rather go to Stop and Shop and pay more with less crowds. I gave them 3 stars because of the fresh sushi and bread made through out the day.

The pizza they make is Actually pretty good.
The great prices almost make up for the stupid amount of people that cram into every aisle of the store.

I love the selection of foods you can find here… the downside is its at the mall and is crowded with some nasty shoppers (ranging from odors to attitudes) Go to the W Bridgewater location for a hassle free experience

I like! Clean, big, have the café! … and the prices are awesome! as expected from MarketBasket.

Stop & Shop, Shaw’s, Star Market, even BJ’s should be looking over their shoulders.
This place has them all beat. Their take out sandwiches and pizza are also pretty good, and priced right.

This place is CRAZY busy. And there are always undersireables hanging out in the front. But it’s still a Market Basket, so I guess it’s worth going to.

The Market Basket in Brockton is all about great value. It offers all the same things you’re going to find at Stop & Shop or Shaws at a significant discount.
Usually if I find something at S&S and it is 2 for $ 6 then at Market Basket it’s 2 for $ 5. Whatever it is, it’s going to be cheaper at Market Basket for the same product.
The Brockton location offers Market Kitchen which has a lot of options, such as pizza, subs, salads and sushi. We’ve had sushi from here often and it’s always fresh and good quality. They have about two or three people working the sushi counter and can make requests right away.
The bakery is also very good and offers several types of cakes, pre-​made or for order.
The produce is high quality and generally in good condition. The prices are much cheaper than anywhere else. There’s a large selection of pre-​cut fruits and vegetables as well.
All in all this is a great Market Basket location and a welcome addition to the South Shore.

I drank the Kool-​Aid and finally decided to give Market Basket a try after making sure I had a refilled Xanax prescription to deal with the parking lots and lines. So, be forewarned, the store is ALWAYS busy and parking is ALWAYS tight. If you think you’re going to score a parking spot right in the front, let me know how that works because you have a better chance at winning Powerball than scoring a front spot at the MB in Brockton. However, there is a lot of parking available. So, bring your walking shoes.
Based on where I live in relation to MB, I can’t really buy a lot of frozen food, so I had the luxury of avoiding those aisles. Whatever. It’s bad for you anyway. But, if you mind your business and take your time, you can easily get everything that you need. Employees are always stocking shelves so if you’re looking for something you can’t find or something you need, just ask and they will be happy to help you.
Bottom line, the prices are what keeps me coming back here. I can easily save 20−30% off what it would cost me at Stop & Shop and I hope that MB considers another South Shore location.
Give it a try. Be patient. And hey, at least you’ll get some good people-​watching, too!

The prices have gone up as well as the cashier attitudes since last summers save Arthur T. Campaign. They are passing cost of shenanigans onto consumer. Ice tea 12 pack used to be 6.99, now never less than 9.99. Ground beef 3 lb pack 80% over 17.00. I could go on and on. Produce hit or miss, and fish area always smells really bad now.

I wanted to try out Market Basket, heard it was great. This location is awful! No staff, no parking, prices are great, so crowded. Bellingham location suggested. I’m sticking with Stop and Shop, my favorite supermarket!

Let me start by saying that despite some problems I am still giving Market Basket 4 stars because the positives far outweigh any negatives. I pretty much refuse to go anywhere else now (and have no reason to).
Price: The main reason I shop here. I was blown away by how little I spent on my groceries the first time I came here. Like other people have said, it seems to be in the 20−30% less range.
Service: Everyone who works seems happy, enthusiastic, and helpful despite how crazy busy it can get. Employees have often offered me help and made conversation while I’m shopping. I couldn’t believe how sweet one man was when a package of muffins fell out of our carriage and he came to help us clean up the mess and ran to get us another package.
Selection: The selection here is far better than any other grocery store I’ve been to. They have all the basics of the other major grocery stores, but I also find lots of obscure stuff I’ve never seen before. The produce section is awesome.
Cons: Ok, so it’s way too busy. I try to only go on weekday mornings and sometimes even then it can be frustrating. The fact that there are employees restocking the shelves in every aisle makes it harder to get around (don’t other stores do this overnight?). The deli always has a line and parking can be pretty sucky.
Like I said, everything that is great about this store makes up for the few annoying things. Yay Market Basket!

Just can’t say enough about this place. I’ve been shopping here for years either at the store in Burlington or Raynham, both are about 30 minutes from my house in Canton. The Brockton store is only 10 minutes away, so convenient. The selection of produce is just beautiful. An order of magnitude cheaper than Stop & Shop or (ick) Shaws, and much, much fresher, and higher quality to boot. Their buying power is just massive due to their low prices that the turnaround is just incredible, nothing stays on the shelf for long.
My girlfriend and I can get by for $ 50/​week on groceries, and we’re not just living on cereal. Chicken, beef, seafood, pork, fresh greens and fruit. We basically only shop around the outside of the store. The staff is so efficient, they know they’re going to be busy, but the registers are always open so you’re never waiting for long. If the store starts to slow down towards the end of the night they’ll pull people off registers and get them on restocking.
Every now and again I’ll go to the Stop & Shop/​Shaws down the street because I need 1 item and it’s 2 minutes from my house and I just laugh at the prices. $ 6.99 for store brand bacon? Are you serious? Market Basket always has name brand stuff on sale for $ 2.99/lb. New shell lobster has been $ 3.99/lb all summer. Swordfish is $ 8.99 this week, wild haddock is pretty consistently on sale for $ 3.99, $ 1 for greek yogurt, $ 1.99/lb regular price for boneless skinless chicken breasts. Is it bad that I have these prices memorized? Maybe I’m a little bargain-​obsessed.
Just don’t let the prices fool you. I’d put their quality on par with Whole Foods or Roche Bros honestly. If you’re shopping at Shaws or Stop & Shop though, you’re doing it wrong!

Stopped in to get something for my lunch. What a fantastic store! Big, clean (it should be since it just opened), and well stocked.
I perused the enormous prepared foods (variety of counters) determining what I’d like to get for lunch before settling on the sushi bar. I got a combination order of spicy tuna and salmon roll, which was delicious and very fresh.
Deciding that I’d get a yogurt to go with my lunch, I was happy to see they had every single flavor of Chobani in stock… even my regular grocery store which is great doesn’t have every flavor of Chobani. So that was pretty sweet.
Prices were awesome. There were lots of registers open (no self serve though which kind of bummed me out, but oh well).

Thank you for opening this Grocery store!!!
It is so fantastic that I can save approximately 30% on groceries at your store.
The new store is clean and well organized.
The staff is helpful. I repeat: The staff is HELPFUL!
I was shocked that while I was in the meat department, a teenager actually asked me if I needed any help finding anything!!!
The cashier said hello to me!!! WOW!
I seriously felt like I was in the Twilight Zone.
The selection of brands is so vast!
I couldn’t believe they don’t require you to swipe any annoying bacteria magnets!
The produce quality is comparable to whole foods!!! And, at great prices!
And they have a huge selection of organics and vegetarian tofu stuff.
Again…Twilight Zone.
CONS:
It is expectedly packed… every day and night.
I seriously will never touch this place on a weekend.
Also, the deli is absent of some of the regular brands like Boar’s Head and Dietz… but who cares.
That processed crap is bad for us anyway.
VIVA Market Basket!!!
SHaw’s and S&S need to git wit it!
