Well for starters, it stinks inflation hit when GU opened. For all you Aldi shoppers, I've been told their prices are high too. ITS EVERYWHERE. Second, the carts are lined up between main entrances at night because WE HAVE SO MANY THEFTS, so you have to enter through the U-Scan so we can see and make eye contact with all who enters so you know we see you. It's not to keep customers out, it's to keep thieves from leaving WITH UNPAID MERCHANDISE. If you have a big bag that didn't look as big when you entered hmmm. If your gonna try to make a quick exit with a cart full, harder to do that when the carts are up. I don't think reusable bags should be allowed for shopping, only to bag paid for products. Third, for all the Tops customers who complained about the U-Scan being slow, THAT WAS FOR SECURITY REASONS. Now it's faster scanning so easier shoplifting, but now you complain about the payment system, LISTEN and FOLLOW the prompts on the main screen before you stick that card in the pin pad, and WAIT FOR A RECEIPT. AND NO WE'RE NOT WALMART, THANK GOODNESS. If your so mad cause we're not Tops anymore, get over it, cause it's gonna happen to the rest of them too. Take it up with Tops corporate, not the store employees. For the people who are giving GU a bad review, BE APPRECIATIVE YOU STILL HAVE A CHOICE TO STOP THERE, THERE'S STILL A GROCERY STORE THERE. We did have a family buying dragon fruit at GU and comment 'these are 9.99 at Wegmans', at the time they were 4.99 at GU. It can be anything anywhere's, prices are crazy everywhere. Lay off of GU. Is there anybody not aware that minimum wage is $13.20...!!! Did you not expect prices to...
   Read moreI stopped here for the first time because I was in a pinch however, I'd rather pinch my pennies and take the time to drive down the street to another store next time. This store in my opinion is just Tops with the prices increased. I reached for my tried and true loaf of bread which is not currently more than about $2.50 at Walmart or Dollar General. I put it right back on the shelf when I saw that at GU the same exact bread was around $4.75. This is the case throughout the store. Signs with 30 pt font seem to be everywhere proudly touting their "sales" which are just mark downs of their mark ups. I get that these are unusual times however, I just can't see the justification. There are fancy new carts to put your overpriced in groceries though.
I feel that this store is not going to last very long unless something changes. I would not shop here again and I don't see why anyone would. There isn't anything here that you can't get at Aldi or basically any other competitor at a much better price. The only good thing about the experience was that there was a very nice young man working at the...
   Read moreWe went in for the first time, just to see what deals they might have, to see if we should change up our shopping routine. We normally do our shopping at Walmart and Aldi stores. The prices at Grand Union are ridiculous. Examples: Helmans mayo, 30 oz jar: $6.99. I pay $5.48-$5.98. V8 juice: $4.99. I pay $3.54 for the same 46 oz. Bottle. Stuffing mix, 6 oz. Store brand: $2.39. I pay $0.89-0.97. How do families survive paying those kinds of prices for their weekly shopping? I will say that the place is very clean and well organized. The employees seem friendly and were quite helpful, even though we didn't buy...
