Kroger

This was a beautiful store! They’re currently remodeling so parts of the store were a construction zone but I bet it will be beautiful when finished. I was visiting from NY and thought that the organic/​natural/​healthy section was HUGE! That’s sometimes hard to find outside of specialty stores. I was really excited. All the produce was fresh and all the sections of the store had good quality food. Yay Kroger!

I do 99% of my grocery shopping at this Kroger. I love this store but have two suggestions. First, shame on you for having such lousy benches at the main entrance. Many older people need to sit here to wait and those wicker benches are a disgrace for such an upscale store! They have sagged so much that it is nearly impossible to get up once you sit down.
Come on, get some sturdy flat seat benches. And would it kill you to put a bench near the back of the store as well… some of us need to sit for just a minute in such a large store!
Now for my prize-​winning suggestion for the parking lot… Since there are so many huge SUV’s blocking the view, how about some attractive flag banners on each of the cart returns. They are really hard to see when blocked on all sides by these huge vehicles. If each had a tall flag, you could see the nearest one and not risk your life maneuvering between parked cars to drop off your cart.

This Kroger would get a five star review with only two changes needing to be made… i will get to that.
This location is extremely close to my home so I go there often. The staff in the bakery, deli, cheese counter, and especially the meat department have always been very helpful. I love how the cheese department has added the «less than five dollar» cheese boxes in the gourmet section which allows you to try new things without having to spend a lot. I use it frequently. The stock seems to always be in check as well.
Now what i don’t like
1. The parking. The parking here is a nightmare for two reasons. 1. This kroger is in the midst of a major remodel so a big chunk of the parking lot has been taken over by construction trailers, cranes, etc. Parking is bad enough here as it is and while there is a whole large lot it is split by a two way road that runs through the lot and where people go VERY fast without paying attention so I will circle the lot until i find a spot in the main area of parking because i don’t want to die at Kroger.
2. The bagging and checkout clerks are without a doubt the worst ive ever seen. I always bring in my own bags, which is not uncommon, and every time i hand them to them you would think i handed them something from another planet. It seems to mystify them and they have no idea how to pack them. In addition i have had items crushed multiple times and half the time they don’t even acknowledge me. I am not saying i want to carry on a conversation for an hour but its nice to just be acknowledged.

Love it. Remodeling and very nice. Not pricey. Convenient location. Shop here often, friendly and helpful staff

I love Kroger. However, this Kroger has an odor problem outside of its entrance. It stinks to the nose.

Review of THIS Kroger (I like Krogers in general)
Pros:
— Clean and organized
— Good selection
Cons:
— Often out of things or the shelves aren’t restocked. In the last week, I’ve had to go to publix to get avocados, plain Greek yogurt, and cannaloni beans
— Their prepared food isn’t nearly as fresh as other Krogers, and there isn’t the variety. They rarely have the baked /​fried chickens out. I’ve gone at all times of day and those heated shelves are often empty
— Some staff are quite unfriendly. I generally feel like I’m annoying the deli staff when I order anything. And the staff assigned to self checkout are often MIA
— The shopping baskets and small carts are very often not at the doors

The is a regular spot for me to «grocery up». Its not as good as the Belle Mead Kroger, but is better than the one off White Bridge and Charlotte Pike. Its right next to an Sbux, which helps soothe my shopping experiences no mater the locale. Other conveniences are a Redbox, Kroger gas, and the Mexican restaurant «Cancun’s» for even more um, gas.

It’s a Kroger. Great variety of food, prices are usually good and sometimes they have really good coupons. The attached gas station where you can get discounts with your Kroger card is a definite bonus.
However, I do not by my produce here. The quality is just so poor. I’ve seen mold and I’ve seen plenty of packaged items WAY past their sell by date. Yogurt too (though that’s not produce). Just make sure that if you’re buying something «fresh» or refrigerated to check the date!

Decent Kroger. Usually clean but also usually smells a little odd. Has pretty cheap gas compared to other gas stations nearby.

This is probably one of my favorite Krogers.
Clean, Clean, Clean. Did I mention it’s usually clean? Shopping in a dirty grocery store I feel like is like trying to brush your teeth while some one is sitting on the toilet.
Meat and Fish selection is on par. I do tend to be missing one or two things of the more exotic nature that I am looking for but it can be overlooked.
Another great part is gas. Usually one of the cheapest places in town to fill up, even if you aren’t using your reward points.

Every week I tell myself I’m going to break up with this Krogers, but then I find myself back there again. It’s super close to me, so definitely the most convenient grocery store location-​wise. As far as Krogers go, I’ve been to nicer and I’ve been to worse. They have all your basic foodstuffs and a Redbox in front of the store. As far as strong points, I think the customer service is good. I have one minor complaint and two major complaints about this place though.
Minor complaint — I am an adventurous cook and enjoy all kinds of dishes. More often than not I cannot find something I need there. Today it was sun dried tomatos. When I asked an employee for help, she said she had never heard of sun dried tomatos before. I had to ask four people and finally learned they didn’t have any. What?! Their vegan product selection is weak too — no tempeh, and only a couple of kinds of tofu. They do have all the frozen veggie patties, but those are overpriced in my opinion.
Major complaint #1 — Parking is a bear. I’ve circled and even left before because it was so bad. Once you do find a place, it’s scary walking up to the store because you have to walk right behind cars backing out. A man almost got run over this morning right before my eyes. It’s stressful.
Major complaint #2 — I like buying the salad mixes and bagged greens like arugula. I have been visitng this place since last August and every single time I’ve gone the greens are in some stage of rotting. I have complained about it and no one seems to care. I have to go to a different store altogether to buy my salad greens, and that’s just not convenient.

Harris Teeter, when I first settled on this land, you were my primary means of survival. Then came Whole Foods and I swore I’d never stray from a true love again. Then I moved to the boonies of Bellevue with the fortune of this Kroger but steps from my palace. I had no choice but to lay my heart down at its doorstep and lustfully wander through its ever-​glowing clean aisles of always-​stocked delights, fresh farm products, and pleasant employees.
I can nearly guarantee that I will be here at a minimum of 8 days per week, sometimes just to see if they’ve used their mannequin in a new inappropriate but tempting display for the upcoming holiday.
This location is one of the bigger ones w/​o any awkwardly sized aisles, nooks, or crannies. It’s big and bright, lots of parking, has Redbox, a neighboring gas station, and in a plaza with a dry cleaner, Starbucks, lots of food options, wine/​liquor store, and Bank of America.

Not a huge selection but good deals on meat and friendly customer service!

Good vegetables, good meats, good G-​D let’s eat.
