Kroger

Wow!!! Every time I go to this Kroger they are always out of at least one thing I’m shopping for even if it’s not a sale item.
Last Night I shopped and counted nine sale items outta stock with no suitable alternative. And knowing your local
Market on union is closed currently you become the closest Kroger market to downtown
So you should increase product levels to maintain the extra foot traffic because I have noticed the insane amount of extra people each day then the usual crowds.
My household is of two, we shop on a as need or every 2 day basis and enjoyed shopping now we wanna shop for a few weeks to avoid the lack of service, lack of product which was declining before the union market closed.
Half the cashiers are rude!!! Or you find that half the employees are not knowledgeable of what they are doing.

I always hit up this Kroger for my grocery shopping because it is really close to where I live. It is not the best Kroger I have been to in Memphis for sure. They’ve had a few security issues in recent years. The folks that work there are hit or miss. Some are wonderful and helpful, and some are absolutely miserable and unpleasant to talk to. Their produce section is usually okay. They get super swamped on holidays, which I guess can be said for any store. Sometimes they have some sketchy people loitering in their parking lot, which is why I am always super alert when I go there. All-​in-​all, it’s not too bad.

This Kroger is consistently the most painful of shopping experiences. Yes, they have everything you might need and more, but good luck finding it. Things seem to be organized in a nonsensical fashion. And if you are able to figure out a day or time that it’s not packed, I’d love to hear it. I finally decided after my last shopping trip that I HAVE to find a new grocery, despite the fact that this one practically across the street from my house. I teeter between shouting at people for blocking the aisles and a nervous breakdown during every trip. My mental health isn’t worth the convenience.

This store was remodeled last year, and is spacious, clean, and well stocked. Even though this is the store where the infamous street gang iincident occurred last year, I have always found both the store and the parking lot to be safe. Don’t hesitate to shop here. It’s a good store.

This is my favorite Memphis Kroger. They have a good selection of vegan things. The employees have always been very nice to me. The produce is good. Things are usually clean and well stocked. I don’t like to shop anywhere else.

One of the very best Krogers in Memphis. The variety of goods are of great quality and the location of the products are easy to find. I love the sushi bar and the placement of the vegatables. Even the front entry is filled with seasonal items so you won’t have to look far. The staff is friendly and helpful. I frequent here before or after work. It is easy to find and parking is never a problem, people are always coming and going.

Much improved since the renovation. I try to go after 8pm to avoid the usually large crowd.

If my boyfriend said «mmmm that ASS! Can I walk with you?» That would be one thing. But an employee??? What. The?!
I don’t care if this place is right by my house (which is actually a terrifying thought given everything I’ve experienced here), I’d much rather drive the 15 extra minute to Whole Foods or pay the steeper prices at High Point.
My man and I were grilling out last night and we ran out of charcoal. No problem, I’ll just pop down to the friendly grocery down the street. Ummm that is until I walk out of the store, heading to my car, when I hear a grunt and that poetry. I was completely shocked that this employee was loitering in the cart area and said that to a customer. It was mortifying and insulting.
This isn’t my only issue or complaint with this place. The employees just don’t care and are constantly talking with one another (or hitting on customers)…they move sooooo slowly and I swear I saw one of them kicking the carts toward the door instead of pushing like a normal person.
The only reason I’m giving this place two stars instead of one is due to the renovations and large selection.

This store has been remodeled and this is by far the best looking Kroger I’ve ever been to in my life.
Kroger has always been the middle ground store for me, not as good as Publix or Ralph’s and just a notch above stores like Von’s or Safeway. But if Kroger keeps remodeling their stores like this they will quickly gain momentum to the top spot in the grocery store pyramid.
What’s different? It’s just bigger, brighter, the deli/​produce area has more product variety and has fresh bars where you can purchase food a la carte (priced by weight), even the floral area is more appealing.
If this was the location of your neighborhood Kroger then you know what I mean — vast improvement thanks to the new space and remodeling.
I hope they remodel mine back home!

This place is so huge that I love just walking around. It really does kick my Kroger’s booty. I love how much more of a variety is here as well as all the cheese samples. It’s just fun to come in here.
Like:
–F’real mango milkshake
Dislike:
–F’real Reeses peanut butter cup milkshake

Still love this Kroger, and glad they added the additional parking by tearing the old one down. I think it’s helped with the availability of parking. Sad to report that this lot is still a stomping ground for morons who cannot read signs or simply don’t care to.

As far as selection goes, this Kroger is all right, but the service is AWFUL. I go here infrequently, but EVERY TIME, invariably my cashier doesn’t have a license to sell alcohol so they have to call for someone who does (making a simple checkout take 5+ minutes). The last time I went, I waited behind someone who was waiting to buy beer. Multiple calls to the management and several minutes later, someone scowlingly appeared, made the transaction, looked at MY beer sitting on the conveyor belt, and promptly disappeared, leading to another long wait.
Employees here have mastered the art of looking just beyond you, glancing away, or becoming involved in a consuming conversation with another employee when you walk up to ask for help.
I think next time I’m tempted to go here, I’ll just drive the extra mile to a store where I can get a question answered, maybe even with a smile.

The new Kroger at Poplar and Highland is the best I have ever been to. Delicious and fresh produce and the sushi is delicious. I love the natural/​gluten-​free section and the fresh food section. It is the only Kroger I go to nowadays.

I actively anticipated the new Kroger store at Poplar Plaza for months. When it finally opened, I was very excited, and then found I couldn’t find a parking space. I guess everyone else was excited as well. I understand that as soon as the old building is torn down, there will be more parking. When I finally did shop, I was very impressed with the store’s size and the layout. There is a much wider variety and lots of freshly prepared dishes.
Everything was great until check-​out. The old store had very friendly personnel. This is not the case at this store. I’ve been three times, and not once did the cashiers say one word as I began to checkout. They didn’t ask if I had a Kroger card, and they didn’t say anything when the transaction was complete. One did ask me to sign the screen. One time the cashier had another cashier beside her and they chatted incessantly while checking me out. Not one word to the customer. This place needs some training and supervision. I’m getting impatient.

As far as grocery stores go, the whole kroger chain makes me mad. I hate the way they generally replace most of the brands I like with kroger brand junk.
But as far as Kroger’s go, this one is bomb.
We call it The New Kroger Experience, because going here is an experience.
Now, don’t be fooled by how the patrons here have become oddly attractive as compared with those of old kroger. The people who work here are the same ones from old kroger and therefore service is hit and miss.
But the atmosphere is nice, and you have waaay more choices than at other krogers. Not to mention the larger section for organics and international food.
Have you experienced the New Kroger Experience?

Note: this review is for the NEW Kroger at this location.
So, I was excited about this Kroger, since it’s much closer to my house than the one I do my shopping at now (Mendenhall and Sanderlin). This place is HUGE — in fact, it makes my usual Kroger feel pretty cozy by comparison. Of course, everything is nice and shiny and new, and they have all kinds of stuff that no other Kroger in Memphis does (I think I saw a milkshake machine, among other things).
However, there are a couple of issues. Despite being so large, it feels more crowded than other stores — I don’ t know if aisles are just closer together or what, but it definitely felt cramped. The produce department doesn’t seem to any better selection than other stores, and I was really disappointed in the meat/​seafood counter. Also, when I got the pasta section, I wondered where the rest of it was — a lot of brands and types that I think are pretty standard were not there. Weird.
Despite the inclusion of fancy items like oysters, I was unable to find any NY strips at the meat counter (just lots of T-​bones), and quite a bit of their selection of fish was frozen, rather than fresh. And please, I know we’re all trying to be «green,» but just put my salmon in a styrofoam tray, don’t wrap it up in paper and shrink wrap and make me wonder if it’s all going to come sliding out in my hands.
Finally, the parking lot is jam-​packed. Maybe just temporary, while they knock down the old Kroger and while everyone within 25 miles checks out the latest and greatest Kroger, but frustrating none the less. So while this is certainly an improvement on the old store, and much better than a lot of Krogers, I’ll stick with the Sanderlin store for my weekly shopping.

Please do not try getting anything before 8 am because many of staff rude. The store is remodeling so if your walking it will take extra five to eight minutes getting to store.

Ok Kroger but I hate that I usually have to enter in via the exit (I usually go at night) because they close the right entrance door around 9 or 10. This leaves me at times having to face an onslaught of exiters before I can enter — not very inviting.
I read they will be building a new store and demolishing this one. Great! I’m sure it will be as nice or nicer than the revamped one nearby at Mendenhall & Poplar.
You can purchase fuel here as well

It has most of my grocery needs, but it isn’t my favorite Kroger

I’ve never been dissatisfied with Kroger! They always have what I need, whether from the pharmacy or the grocery section, and it’s never too expensive. You can even rent movies from them for a dollar. Favorite grocery store evaahh!
