Giant

I asked one of the employees to help me in the meet department and he told me that he wasn’t able to help and that no one was there to help me either.
Super disappointed

I honestly don’t understand why this Giant scores so low. I have never had a problem at this location at all. The staff is always very nice and helpful. The store is always clean and well stocked. They have good, fresh produce. Their fish, deli, and meat counters and always well stocked and delicious (once prepared). The only issue I’ve ever had is with the grocery chain as a whole. That’s the prices of items not for sale. If it’s not for sale or a bonus buy, then it’s usually absurdly pricey. So make sure that you check out the bonus buys and the sales flyer before you shop here.

I don’t really like doing my grocery shopping here as I feel like they are over priced for mediocre quality and when I do decided to get groceries here they are always out of weird items, and that seems to be the case every time. But you can get good deals on chicken here. And they have lots of nice employees there. But my favorite is their donuts. I am addicted to their donuts! Some of the best around! Particularly the chocolate iced «poppers» as they call them. Nom.

Its a regular giant and is what you expect from the brand. I would recommend that you swing buy and stop at the Starbucks. The gas prices are also good for the area.

Earlier this week I had to stop in here with a colleague to purchase water for an end-​of-​year party at our school. We each had one cart overflowing with both large water cases (16 total) and gallon water jugs (10 total). It was very difficult to maneuver the carts as well as unload them in the car. I was appalled after we left that not one SINGLE employee at the store asked us if we needed help with the carts or unloading them. We were clearly struggling and water even fell out of the cart at one point. And still no one offered to help. We must have passed about 5 employees too between cashiers, baggers, and yes, even store managers. Sad.

It’s been a while since I reviewed this Giant — so time for an update!
The location is very convenient for me — being a couple of miles down U.S. 15 from my home. I do much of my grocery shopping here, as well as utilize the pharmacy for prescription medications.
The produce section is pretty nice. I’ve had to ramp up the amount of vegetables I eat since starting the New Atkins diet. I can usually find what I want, although I can never seem to find Radishes!
The seafood and meat sections are also keeping me in stock on proteins for my diet. While the seafood department has the basics, it’s not at the same level as Wegmans!
They do need to keep a closer eye on the Men’s Restroom. Many times I’ve walked in and found dirty sinks, toilet and tissue paper on the floor, and other things that need to be cleaned.
The checkout lines have the appropriate style hand scanners to scan your Giant Card barcode off a Smartphone — I use the CardStar app on my iPhone to store my Giant and other membership cards. However, the Pharmacy is still behind the times. They have a different style hand scanner with a rounded scanning area that for whatever reason can’t scan the same barcode. The pharmacy staff ends up manually keying the number in each time.
Most of the employees are very nice and helpful. Sandi is one of my favorite employees! She is always upbeat and has a smile when I see her!
I hope Giant management sees this and cleans the restrooms a little more often!

This is my regular grocery store, I’d say I get roughly 95% of everything my family eats from this store. Its a clean store with a bunch of very nice employees.
I’m unsatisfied with the seafood dept, there use to be two great ladies that were awesome to deal with, lately it’s been a grab bag of dudes who act like they don’t want to be working with fish. I always have to get an additional baggie to keep from getting fish residue all over the rest of my haul. I got crab legs a few weeks back and they only put them in a long paper bag. Had a pool of crab water in the bottom of my grocery bag when i got home, unpleasant. Dont let them take the skin off your salmon, they mangled mine and treated the fish with no respect.
I recently asked someone in the baking dept if they had any brioche, they weren’t sure. I asked about some bread they had out if it was at all similar to brioche, they didn’t know. And then they added «the bread comes in frozen, we just put it out». Bummer.

I have to say that not only is the Giant Pharmacy convenient to my home, they are great with notifying me when my prescriptions need refilling and go the extra mile to contact my doctors to initiate the prescription refill requests.
Gave them four stars due to my husband’s not so pleasant experience when picking up my prescription five minutes before closing time. Granted it was ready and all he had to do was pay for it but the pharmacist, not the cashier ringing up the order, appeared, according to my husband, to be inconvenienced and he experienced a few glares his way.
If you’re in the service business just know that patience goes a long way and is most appreciated by your customers. This can be said for most of life’s personal interactions since we don’t always know what is going on behind the scenes in that person’s life. A kind word or action can go a long way.

DO NOT BUY FLOWERS in the floral department of Dominion Valley Giant. If minus stars could be given– this is where they would go. The store manager nicely doubled my refund when nearly every single petal fell off the bouquet– purchased one hour earlier. We were astonished that a bouquet could look so perfect (Freedom roses), straight out of the flower fridge and collapse on removal from the cellophane. Fortunately it was a family event. But we’d have been mortified had we presented such a bouquet to a hostess.

This is way better than Gainesville location much larger, nicer, and modern to typical grocery store now a days. prices are cheaper than Harris Teeter but they have different selective brands than what other grocery stores carry. They have roofs with windows so sunlight comes through and they have self-​service check out…
they also included Florist, Pharmacy, RedBox Rentals, PNC Bank & Starbucks!
this is more family friendly store than Gainesville which i found to be more senior oriented store.
don’t forget to use ur giant club cards to get points for discounts at any shell gas station…
