Cherry Valley Center — Local services in Town of Hempstead

Upon entering the grocery store, I was greeted by a large water fountain that was both obtrusive and an eyesore. It took up a lot of space and I had to navigate around it while also trying to avoid running into the people who were entering and leaving the store.

I really wanted to get the chocolate glazed donuts, but they appeared to be stale and were hard as rocks when I tried to pick them up with the tongs. I decided to leave them there.

I was filled with dismay when I looked to my right and saw an open buffet filled with meat, fish, and other dishes. It seemed irresponsible and unsanitary to have a buffet that is easily exposed to germs when we are still in the midst of a pandemic.

The store was packed with items but the way they were laid out and organized made it difficult to shop with a large cart. It was overwhelming visually and it made the store feel kind of cluttered.

In spite of the numerous items available, I still wasn't able to find many of the products I wanted. They had the smallest section for cat and dog food that I've ever seen in a grocery.

Between the water fountain at the front entrance, the huge bakery area with the stale donuts, street signs and street lamps next to the cash registers, the overall color scheme, and the massage chairs waiting to greet you after you've made your purchases, the overall decor came across as a bit ostentatious.

They have a rewards program where you get 5 dollars credit for every 500 "points" you earn. 1 point = 1 dollar. So it's not the best rewards program, spend 500 to get 5 back, but it's something.

Plus, it's in a decent location, never super packed to the point where you don't even want to try to find parking or go in.

All in all, it's a relatively good market to shop at. I've been there many, many times over the course of this last year since my girlfriend lives exactly 10...

I really don't want to tell too many people about this supermarket but i feel compelled. It is an amazing experience, especially after they remodeled it from top to bottom. If you live in the area i would simply suggest you take a visit. To list all the positive points would take too much space...This is grocery shopping taken to the next level, and their hot buffet is amazing and very reasonably priced. Oh and why didn't i want people to know about this place? Purely selfish reasons; i don't want it to turn into an overcrowded nightmare like some other "big...
