Kroger

One of the better Krogers in the area. A Starbucks inside. The parking is sufficient, but lots of covered cart returns take up a lot of the space in front of the store. Necessary but kind of annoying to lose so many spaces. Otherwise a great choice for groceries.

Great store! Clean, friendly staff. Several u scan lanes, and fast lines.
Doesn’t have a Murray’s cheese shop but there are some other options of cheese in the deli. The Fried Chicken meals are the best I have ever had and the can make large amounts of your having a family gathering!
Great produce department with a selection of organic and precut fruits and veggies. Located right next to the natural foods departments. Great selection of health foods all located together so I don’t have to shop the whole store to find them.
Small new wine tasting hidden I the wine department on Saturdays, which really makes shopping more fun!
I hope there will be a fuel center here soon!!! Love my fuel points!

This Kroger is closest to where I live. Incidentally, it also has the closest Starbucks to where I live. So I frequent here for both coffee and grocery needs.
While this is not a «Signature» or «Marketplace» Kroger, it still has pretty much all your grocery needs as well as some limited needs for household hardware and storage,.
The store manager at this location seems to have a tendency to over-​order holiday candies, though. From a corporate profit perspective, it probably isn’t very good. But from a consumer perspective, it’s sugar heaven. After Halloween, this Kroger had over 21 feet of different overstock candies ranging from all different kinds of M&Ms, to Kit Kats, to gummies, to tootsie rolls. Then after Christmas, it was the same story.
The Starbucks in here is staffed by a wonderful team. I always enjoy my conversation with them and they genuinely care about the shoppers coming in. In addition, I have never had trouble finding a friendly employee striving to help me with whatever question I may have. I was only ever overcharged a couple of times in my 1.5 years of coming here.
All in all, this is what a neighborhood grocery store should be.

Great place!!! Wish they would just stop trying to grow into a mega store. They have the right mix of good produce (drastically improved from 6 mo ago), all the necessary basics, organics, gourmet items, and pretty commendable Kroger brand products. They really do not need to add furniture, towels, diamonds, and electronics… I will never go krogering for these things!!! I do strive to get in 10,000 steps each day, never want to get 5,000 at Krogers walking from the Bath isle through the toys and around the jeweler to get a dozen eggs!!!

Even after the reorganization this store just does not work. It is too small for the area especially after the closing of the Biggs store a few years back. There is never enough parking, I have gone more than once and they were out of carts. They are convenient so I keep going back. If I had an alternative I would consider changing.

This store has improved and is fabulously organized, clean and stocked well. Staff could still be friendlier for the money families spend there every week year after year.

Kroger, this is the worst one I have personally been to. The store is filthy from the parking lot to the inside. The bathroom is disgusting. The store could be so much nicer but I think the management is poor or there is no budget for cleanliness and visual aspect to customer. They keep trying to build a new one. But why would we want a new one and possibly get more of the same thing closer to our homes. YUK

I’m surprised Unilocal doesn’t have a Supermarket category, as that’s where this store belongs. In fact it’s a super-​PLUS market; in addition to your grocery, dairy, meats, etc. plus a pharmacy, this one’s also got a bank branch AND mini-​Starbucks inside. But it stops there, so we still have a supermarket, not yet a monster-​mega-​market, so you don’t feel like you’ve taken a 20 mile hike if you need to get items at both ends of the store.
However when you pull into the parking lot, you might think for a moment you’re about to enter a mega market. Because it is ALWAYS mobbed. Always. No matter what day of the week or time of the day, or night, the store is always crowded. It is the only supermarket, or even grocery store, for miles around in an area where the population is swelling almost visibly on a regular basis. So for me, grocery shopping here is an unpleasant chore, but if you’re in this vicinity there are really no options, so on with the review with that in mind.
Dry goods. Fair to good selection, not enough variety of brands. They have become a little more adventurous with imported or specialty foods, but there’s still a long way to go.
Bakery. I hate the term «meh» but in this case it fits. Most of the cakes are shipped in from a distribution center and decorated here. The breads are boring and not at all authentic (as in so-​called Italian, French, etc.). In fact they all have the same taste and texture in my opinion, just different shapes which may fool the unsophisticated, but they don’t fool me. Even their pretzel buns taste like their breads with a hard brown exterior. If you’ve got a sweet tooth on, there’s a good assortment of TastyKake. Check the freshness dates.
Deli. Selection is very good, and they’ve got Boars Head brand, the gold standard of cold cuts. But service leaves a LOT to be desired. Very slow and poorly trained personnel who can’t seem to get it right when you ask for salami sliced thin. Also have experienced a number of errors such as asking very specifically for ‘Boars Head Ham’ and receiving Boars Head Low Salt Ham. Or asking for ¾ of a pound and getting a package weighing in at .95. Or having a $ 6.95 item rung up at $ 8.95. My advice is to request a sample slice and make them do it again and again till they get it right; watch very closely to be sure they take the correct item from the case; and examine the label closely before you walk away.
Produce. Extensive selection, but quality is hit or miss. Service is very good and there’s always at least one employee on the floor to help you find things or answer questions. This dept. at least is well trained and knowledgeable. It was here I learned what a pluot is.
Meat/​seafood. Decent butcher counter with some high quality cuts. Sometimes the staff is AWOL though and there’s no bell to ring. Sometimes you can even find veal cutlets! Pre packaged, of course, but hey, we take what we can get here. The unavailability of veal cut to order is a real suffering for me.
Pharmacy. Take your business elsewhere if at all possible. The constant mistakes, oversights, and delays we have experienced just beggar description. I am not exaggerating when I say we experienced one problem or another 9 times out of 10 with this pharmacy.
This Kroger has kept its promise of fast checkout (with the notable exception of the pharmacy) and I recommend the manned lanes. The self-​checkout setup harks back to the late 1990s and will only slow you down.

Nice meat section!

This Kroger is okay… however the arrangement of the products throughout the store doesn’t make sense. Things are grouped with normal logical other similar items.
It’s close to home, so I go there, but you have to go through every aisle to find what you want.

It is a mainstream Grocery store. The produce is a bit too shiny and the boxes on the shelves are well organized and filled with corn syrup. I’m a bit of a hippy, so I usually don’t shop at these stores.
It gets an above-​average rating because:
1) When we came (a week before Christmas) there was a young woman playing carols on a violin in the breezeway. You could hear her throughout the store and it was charming. Yay for the management not kicking her out!
2) OMG awesome beer. At least, a way better beer selection that I anticipated around here. Some of the small local breweries and my favorite East Coast (Magic Hat!) beer. Yay for such a great selection!

This is the Cheers of Grocery Stores, everybody know my name and I love it. Great store ran by some great people, keep up the good work!!!
