Kroger

My first time ever in this store. I have always heard such great things about this place. Many couponers love this place. As soon as I saw the name my eyes lit up. I was only visiting for a short trip but, I sure wish that I had my coupons with me. The store was large and well stocked. Very clean store. The variety was amazing. Bonus was they also sold beer and wine. Next time I am in town I plan to bring my coupons with me. LOL. Friendly staff also.

The store has the best prices on non-​organic gallon milk around!
The bathrooms are always dirty.
The deli is amazing, quick, professional and the only place I’ve seen that sells head cheese.
The freezer section tbh is hit or miss. The organics are intertwined at times with the non-​organics (mostly veggies). In that aspect I’ll stick with Whole Foods or a local farmers market.

This is my go-​to spot. Great parking. Convenient shopping center.
Kroger has a nice selection of produce. Always check dates and for freshness. Sometimes items that are close to expiration are left on the shelves, but overall they do a pretty good job.
I like the organic/​specialty isle. They have a lot of gluten free options, if you need that sort of thing.
The bakery counter is standard. I don’t like some of the specialty brands of breads they tend to stock. The Signature Selection loaves tend to be delicious, but I never see a good selection of them in stock. It’s usually hit and miss that they will have what I want.
The seafood and butcher cases are nice as well. They have good specials. Every time I’m there I swing by to check them out.
I wish they did a better job of keeping the soft drink isle stocked. Some of their generic brands always seem to be sold out.
And this location is super at keeping the right number of registers open for a speedy checkout! I used to go to Farm Fresh on Indian River. This Kroger blows them out of the water in every way!

Do not waste your time trying to talk to the manager about your experience, he doesn’t care. Not as clean as other Krogers, a lot of empty shelves, and rotten produce. Will not be returning, I will drive the extra miles to Holland rd.

I have lived in this area for years, but was put off by the one time I did visit this location. The FLOOR. That’s right! The floor is an eyesore. It looks like it hasn’t been updated since the building was constructed. Other than the floor, the store is fairly clean given the age of the building. It could use some revamping.
I have to admit that it is one of the places that I do a great deal of shopping because of the selection of items that they carry. They boast a lot more organic produce and foods than most other standard grocers. They also have a better selection of gluten-​free products that you don’t find at other grocers and mostly specialty grocers. Their prices are relatively low and comparable to Food Lion or even better.
I confess that I will drive the extra few miles to shop at the new location on Holland because of the quantity of items and cleanliness. Mostly I try to stay closer to home and this store would be it.

I notice most times I visit the hot food bar, the food been sitting very long, burnt and not looking good. People can get sick by eating food like that. I understand the deli section is in charge of it but they get busy so nobody is checking it.

This Kroger has only let me down once. They don’t carry fresh salsa even though they have a fully stocked kitchen and make their own sauces. But other than that they have great prices and their customer service is top notch. I asked the produce staff member if they did indeed have fresh salsa and he walked me around half of the store looking and asking other associates. Finally he told me just go ahead and make your own… it would probably be cheaper anyway. LOL Always plenty of lanes open and they have 6 self checkout lanes available. I’ve never waited longer than 5 minutes to check out and even when I had an issue with a price the also I ate at the self checkout was more than willing to go find the right price and override the system.

Okay prices and a good layout. Working carts and smiling associates with a speedy self-​checkout.
One complaint. The signs over the aisles are not inclusive. I had to ask for help finding the commercial bread aisle after walking to and fro. But for those who shop here often and know where everything is, that probably isn’t such a big deal.
Good parking.

New layout is TERRIBLE!!! They have milk in FOUR different places. Three of the milk locations are open fronted and the bottles always feel warm. Bread is in three places. Coffee and tea are on different aisles. It’s so bad now I have started going to the Harris Teeter on south Plaza, which actually has a logical layout.

The remodel definitely helped this store! What could use work now is an attitude check from the staff, though a few staff members are helpful, several are not interested in whether you are there or not. The products are nicely arranged and the prices are getting more competitive but I would live to see the bargains increase.

Amen for remodels! This store really was kind of a dump before. They have done a 180 in my opinion. They have expanded everything. The deli is great, they now h e Boars Head meats and cheeses. They have expanded the organics section which I love. The even added a salad bar, sushi bar and hot bar for lunch. It’s nice to have this option for lunch since I work around the corner. The produce is great and always on sale. I actually shop here after work now! Two thumbs up Kroger!
