A place of convenience and frustration. I'll start out in saying that it's a good, convenient location. It's kept clean and the staff are all helpful. I've grown up knowing most of these people from either working with them when I worked here in highschool or from regular visits from living and working in town. The prices are comparable to anywhere else and the selection is good.
However...... they are located next to two incredibly busy manufacturing plants (with lots of employees who are looking for an easy-to-find lunch). It is incredibly convenient for most of these workers to walk across the parking lot to find what they're looking for. The frustration factor is that time and time again, regardless of who we've seemed to talk to, that they just can't seem to grasp the need to have a fully stocked "to-go" area throughout the course of these lunch periods. This is every single day. The deli is really the only place here that provides a hot and ready to go selection of food (that ranges from fried type foods - chicken tenders, potato wedges, mozzarella sticks, etc). They do offer a sub and salad selection in the cooler around the corner, but they feel pre-packaged and don't compare to any competitor stores products).
We've walked in at 12:00 and found a completely empty heating case (other than bagged rotisserie chickens)... And I can't understand how someone in management can't look at that and see an issue or find a way to keep it stocked throughout the heavy hitter hours. (And this to say that we've gone in at 10 to find the case completely full). We've walked in numerous times, expecting to be disappointed, only to turn and walk out to find...

There are usually only 2 or 3 checkout lines open at lunch time. There is no self check-out and I was once told that they used to have self check-out until the local customer base complained about a lack of an intimate experience with a cashier and confusion with how to operate the machines. The store is generally run down and old. This can be partly forgiven due to regional expectations. The staff are very friendly, too friendly in fact. They tend to ask nosey questions and get too personal with you as a stranger. Again, I chalk this up to regional differences. In the end, I am usually dissatisfied with...
Read moreVery clean store! It's not as big as some of the newer and more modern stores and they also don't have the Cafe and big alcohol section like more modern markets have. Great selection of produce, deli, meats and I love that they have a wide variety of seafood and sushi. The only downfall of this store is self checkout is a pain in the you know what. It's constantly saying about putting your bag bag, then paying is so slow and it lags. But overall my shopping experience was pleasant, I found everything I went for. (Staff seemed friendly but I wouldn't know, they just stood there holding the...
