Weis Markets — Local services in Urbana

Still in the first week of being open but as expected it was clean and spacious. They seemed to have an expanded of items across the board vs in the smaller Weis markets, including more gluten-free, more ready-made options like sushi, sandwiches, salads, charcuterie and entertaining spreads, Etc. Plus they had a pretty expanded looking bakery section with a specialty sweets case including lots of chocolate covered items. Little bit of concern that the parking lot seems pretty small as it was about 85% full when I was there. But it's also a weekend ... and it's certainly not as bad as Costco, lol. Happy to have the store close to home and I don't think it's going to have terrible impact on the Weis in Spring Ridge. It's still got the new car smell, and a lot of corporate folks seem to still be in the building training and such, and I'm sure they're working out the kinks but it was a pleasant experience and I very much enjoyed getting gas with my grocery points...

The store itself is very well put together and the general staff is nice. However, there are a lot of "managers" because its a new store and yet none of said managers wearing blue shirts are helpful. Customer service line backing up while new employees are trying to figure out how to do a basic refund and there are 5-8 "blue shirts" just standing around talking to each other. Looking around for an item lost? They just walk by you and ignore you.

I was also the 2nd or 3rd person to report a price problem, yet they just left the wrong sign up...

Short version: its nice now, but if thats how the leadership works, I doubt it will stay that...

This place is just great. HUGE SHOUTOUT TO TAYLA!! Give that woman a raise. I was trying to buy some embarrassing feminine products and ended up being 4 pennies short. Not the best thing to see after an already aggravating day.. Tayla was like “I got you girl” and pulled out her phone and paid the rest for me so I could get my things and get outta the store. She was wonderful. Please make sure she knows just how much she is...
