Gabriel's Supermarket — Local services in Town of Glenville

Gabriel's supermarket in Scotia is within walking distance from my apartment, it is convenient for me, if there is something I need to get, I can get it there. From my apartment in Scotia to Gabriel's, it takes me about 10 minutes. This supermarket is smaller then Price Chopper or Hannaford. It has a good selection. When I was a child growing up in the early 1970s, I remembered around that time that there were mostly supermarkets that were about the size of this Gabriel's, like P & C, A & P, Loblaws, Grand Union, and Central Markets (later became Price Chopper). To me, this Gabriel's Supermarket in Scotia reminisces that. Those much larger supermarkets like Hannaford and Price Chopper that has a food court, a florist, a sushi section, a deli, a bakery, and a pharmacy today didn't even exist around that time. Gabriel's doesn't have that setting. It only has a deli, bakery and the meat department, and its setting inside is almost very similar to a typical late '60s, or a early '70s supermarket, which is like a smaller equivalent of Price Chopper and Hannaford of today (or smaller version of it), except with today's technology, e.g., its cash registers, the new energy-saving fluorescent LED lights on the ceiling above the aisles in the store, windows in the front of the store, and siding installed on the side of the store, next to its entrance and its parking lot, to revitalize the village of Scotia. This Gabriel's in Scotia made me thought of that. Unlike Price Chopper and Hannaford which are open 24 hours, Gabriel's Supermarket does not stay open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it opens at 8 am, and closes at 9 pm Monday through Friday; opens at 8 am and closes at 7 pm on Saturdays; and opens at 8 am and closes at 6 pm on Sundays. These old supermarkets I have mentioned above years ago may had those hours very similar to Gabriel's of today, and back in those days, the 24-hour supermarkets such as Central Markets (now Price Chopper) didn't exist. IGA is a name of a company who owns Gabriel's supermarkets. Its logo is seen here below, which are also seen on its brand-name food items that are sold...

Buyer beware! Need to read expiration dates before buying (they don't remove them from their shelves - and have gone home with items that are 8 years expired!). Their meat is frequently spoiled, even though the dates say they should be good. Also, do not buy their baked goods. I gifted a cake to a teacher who later told me she cut into the cake and it was molded inside (even though the date on the cake was fine). I complained to the store and was told that I should have brought it back in with my receipt - as if i was going to ask the teacher to bring me back a moldy cake and cart it back to the store after digging my receipt out of my own garbage. Absolutely no customer service. Gave them two stars only because it is a...

Terrible service. Extremely dirty behind closed doors.. the hot foods that the deli puts out are always old and dried out.. I've encountered mold aswell in the chicken parm hot dinner. I'm pretty sure they are using the same ones repeatedly and just changing the stickers.. I've gotten sick from the deli's own ham salad. I've learned my lesson now, but I gave the store it's fair share of chances. The store does very well because of its location. I don't understand why they cut so many corners food and safety wise. Somebody is going to get seriously Ill one day. I've even seen employees drop unwrapped deli meets onto the floor and pick it right back...
