Grocery Outlet — Local services in Hazlet Township

My first experience so it is not very deep. The parking is easy and plentiful, the carts are perfect and larger. When you walk in, the store guides you to the right. What we expected, we were not disappointed. What we found was even better. The employees were great. Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable of the store. First up a massive can of raviolis, it was less than $5, if on a budget would be a great buy. The produce section was adequate, we were OK with it but just expect the normal stuff. Then the expectations came in. The store is independently owned, making playing against the big corporations is the challenge. These guys meet it. Not that this is a big deal but I'm white and the store caters to everybody. If this offends you, or you don't like a large asian selection, or if Spanish offends you, go someplace else. The selection is amazing and the fact or Spanish, Vietnamese, and Chinese citizens have an option, makes it better. Coffee prices. K up selection was large and affordable. Snacks were oddly priced, like popcorns normal but chips are cheap. Meat was amazing. I think the chicken thighs were under $3.15 a pound and the hamburger was about the same. Chicken was delicious. A large and odd assortment of frozen foods (odd by an old white dudes standards). The desserts would be fun, the soda selection is wild and fun. Like I said,if you do not like fun, adventure or change, you may hate this place. Checkout was normal, I didn't see self checkout and i did not pay attention to the bathrooms. The place was clean with people working and stocking shelves. My recommendation is go and have fun. The selection you will experience should be fun. I mean, where you going to find mango chips or cotton candy popcorn? Go, check it out and support locally...

I won’t be shopping there anymore! In the past few weeks I’ve spent a lot of money there, after returning a third time I purchased a large assortment of an item that was on sale within my limits. Once rang up it was not the sale price even though there were 3… 3 signs under the items… store manager Ricky refused to fix the price after I explained I was just there and the sign still represents the sale price. I will not shop where the manager argues with the customer over their failed mistake! They can keep there items will shop elsewhere! Also watch your dates all things pretty close to expiring. Reached out to owner by phone and emailed them and absolutely no response. Extremely poor customer service!! Especially coming from myself being a customer service manager at another food retailer! They will never last long making poor decisions like the one that was done to me by their inexperienced...

I had to visit a few times to really appreciate this store. You can find some pretty awesome deals if you’re there at the right time. I usually like to stop here for snacks/frozen section. Lots of organic quick meals for my toddler and also quick stuff for my teenagers. Great place for cheap candy and beef sticks. And for low carb/keto diets. Lots of Lilly’s brand for baking and expensive sugar substitutes for cheap! I left this store one time with a whole 5 pack of lunchables for 1.99$! Sure, they were gonna expire soon, but with a toddler and two teenagers, they’re gone way before that! My last visit I got a whole huge cart full of stuff for 200$. Don’t sleep on this store and visit once and say ehhh, give it...
