Kroger Food Stores

After my less than stellar experience in Denison, I was reluctant to try visiting a Kroger’s again. But before we moved out here, all my friends just raved about their Kroger’s stores and how great their service was. I REALLY needed to buy food, a lot of food, like «we have to fill up the entire empty kitchen because we just moved 1,800 miles» amount of food. I knew it was going to be a long adventure and I had a feeling it was going to be expensive. But I headed off to the Kroger’s in Sherman to give the chain another shot.
Oh my, the difference is like night and day. Mind you, I went in at night… when everyone is tired after a long day and they are stocking like crazy. I’ve never gotten such great service. All of my random requests like «excuse me do you carry vital wheat gluten» to «where in the world would I find sesame oil» was met with a smile, the store employee stopped what they were doing and helped me find the item.
I know I spent over two hours in that store and my cart was over flowing by the time I made it to the front. A wonderful gentleman checked me out. He was friendly, welcoming and really made me feel like I mattered as a customer. Then, he called up someone to help me take out my two carts of groceries. A very nice young man who helped me load my van and then took the carts back. And I restocked an entire, literally empty kitchen with ALL of the basics (from spices to meat) to cook real food for just under $ 400. I was incredibly pleased with the sale prices they had and took the opportunity to really stock up on things like flour, spices and other baking goods.
This Krogers will have my business as long as we live nearby.

Weekly specials and sale prices are a bargain. They stock a decent selection of (overpriced) organic foods. The building and layout are dated and contain smallish aisles, but it’s clean and well lit. With that being said, I haven’t run into a more rude set of check-​out employees in my life. It’s a hassle to use the self-​checkout lines and the ones that do work are incredibly slow. Steer clear and head over to Green Market or Albertson’s for your organic products!
