Kroger

This Kroger is officially dead to me. I will drive to either of the other two locations in Denton if I have to. This one is dirty and the parking lot is a nightmare.
The deal breaker for me is that they like to store the shopping carts in the walkway outside. Especially when it is busy, all the shopping carts will be gone from the inside area in the front, and the walkway outside will be full of them. What’s awesome about this is that the parking lot is really busy, and if the walkways are full of shopping carts, it forces you to walk in traffic. Which is EXTRA awesome when you’ve got your baby.
The few times I’ve asked for help, people have openly told me that they didn’t know where things were located, nor did they seek additional help.
I just really hate coming here, so I’m not going to anymore. Yeesh.

I ALWAYS get such anxiety coming to this Kroger. I only come when I absolutely have to. The parking lot is a nightmare. Today I was called a f*cking r*tard by a woman who was driving a too-​big for her SUV, smoking a cigarette, on the phone, AND had kids in the car. This isn’t the first time I had such problems in the parking lot and honestly, this is why I barely ever come to this location. Absolutely not even worth the trip (the other Kroger didn’t have the item I wanted, which is why I had to come here).

«Close to home» and «cheesy» sum up this Kroger and there’s not anything that makes up for that although both times service on the front end was commendable, which counts a lot for me. After making the rounds finding everything I need after a long day, I don’t need drama checking out. Not drama with my check-​out and not drama with the customer in front of me. Something that could have become very awkward happened my first trip. My cashier was paired with a special needs bagger who started to get agitated when he thought things in the bottom of my basket weren’t checked out. I thought oh jeez, this is commendable but I hope he doesn’t pick my twelve packs of sodas to get exercised about. My cashier clearly was trained or just had good instincts and said ‘it’s ok buddy, I’ve got it” really kindly and he calmed right down. The next trip I saw another special needs bagger — this one a 60+ gentleman. Unilocal reviews are about quality and service, and I definitely found this not to be only positive for the community but also outstanding service. That’s where I like to give my business when possible. Having said that, you don’t really get the feeling this store is mopped often, the layout is weird and there are hardly any toiletries. Shampoo, bath gel — even soap — I kept walking past them because the selection was so small. With that and with other requests the staff knew right where things I needed were when I asked. The produce selection is by far the best thing in the store. There is a big selection of organic produce, both fruits and veg. Again, the layout was weird. The produce aisles are perpendicular to the the other aisles in the store and they’re shorter. I found myself going back and forth instead of up and down. I don’t want to work that hard looking for an onion. Some produce was too expensive — 69 cents for a lime. There’s not exactly a lime shortage during a Texas summer. The bakery was pretty lame. There were no red velvet cupcakes so I got a lemon one that really shouldn’t have been for sale at all. It was very stale and dry — even the frosting was dry, and it was expensive. I wish I lived near a different grocery store but I’m afraid this is it. I can live with it, especially with the quality and commitment of its staff.

This store is within walking distance of the TWU campus. When I got sick of eating dorm food or needed supplies, I went to this store. I never had a problem with checkout. The only thing I’d recommend. And again because of the proximity (or maybe they changed since I graduated) is DRAMATICALLY increasing TWU marketing – sell TWU stuff again considering the campus is just down the street.

My wife had a bad customer service experience with the seafood dept. We called and spoke to Lynn, who rectified the problem quickly. Thanks Lynn for knowing the value of each customer!

I guess all Krogers are the same everywhere. But i just love this place. I always go for their cheap bananas and their good organic produce. Last week they had this great offer. It was 0.99 $ for a pineapple. I baught like 8 of those. This week the offer was gone. But ill always keep checking for it lol. Make sure u aks for ur kroger card! It saves you a lot of money!

This Kroger sucks. They just remodeled but it is so cramped with stuff grocery shopping seems like a race/​mosh pit (but with old ladies that you would kill if you bumped them out of your way).
The other Kroger is MUCH better. Plus, they don’t have the cheese selection here. Bummer.
Also, don’t get me started on the parking lot.

The parking lot alone is not worth making the trip to this location. Too many overly entitled people in a rush to go nowhere. The loop 288 location is cleaner, brighter and has more Space between the aisles so your not stuck behind someone or risking getting banged around as you try to make your way around displays and crowded aisles.

I absolutely hate this Kroger, and I’m beginning to hate Kroger in general. This store is often dirty, has flies buzzing around the deli, has aisles filled with junk, and the people who work there complain and argue amongst themselves while I’d assume they are supposed to be working.
Kroger’s digital coupon system is horrible. I spend time downloading coupons that NEVER redeem, the in-​store «manager» says there’s nothing she can do, the phone help system is always too overloaded with calls to take mine, so I’m told to call back, and they don’t respond to emails.
I’m done with Kroger. I wish there were good alternates nearby.

I love kroger, just not this one. Other than the fact that it is really small and hard to move around all the other customers, it is always infested with flys! I have gone here many times over the 5 years I have lived in Denton, and there are always lots and lots of flys. Doesn’t matter whether it is summer or winter. They of course always blame it on the rodeo that is close by. The rodeo only comes once a year. So why are there fly’s there all year long? The deli’s customer service is absolutely horrible and the cashiers are not so great either. The baggers like to put raw meat in with fresh vegetables and their customer service is crap too. The only reason they stay in business is location, location, location…

This is a great place to shop I love the wide selection

I really love this Kroger, much nicer than the one in my hometown. On average it’s fairly busy, but not nearly as terrible as the local Walmart gets. I love that it’s located fairly close to campus and it has a great selection of grocery items. It’s a very clean and organized store and it just plain looks good. I really like this store and have been shopping there more often.

Yeah, I like it! Even though this Kroger is crazy busy, its still pretty awesome.
They have a huge ready to eat section. Normally when I think of Kroger ready to eat sections, I think of old, soggy fried chicken and mashed potatoes with a film over it. Not here.
This is the most vegan-​friendly Kroger that I have ever been to. I guess since there is only 1 specialty food store in Denton, Kroger has picked up the market. I got all kinds of vegan frozen foods including some fucking delicious tofutti which I can eat by the spoonful. Great healthy foods section. I dig it.
I’ll be back to get more hippie foods later…

This places parking lot is Satan spawned. A Complete Nightmare. Then theres all the freaking people. I have never seen such a busy store. Everyday is like Christmas over there. Overall the store is clean, well organized, well stocked with good variety and it has a really nice natural-​healthy food selection too. The crowds are the only thing stopping this from being my #1 shopping place. Sheesh, I am telling you– that parking lot is freaking fearsome!

Not bad for a chain store and better organized than the one on Loop 288.
Better to close the store than us having to breath gasoline fumes INSIDE the building when they do the floors, as I did one night and nearly choked on the spot! Where’s the health dept. in charge of indoor toxic fumes???
The produce is fresh, permanently colored, shelf life of 500 years but there’s little other choice in Denton yet. Some organic, but the bananas go from yellow to squishy in 2 days without any in-​between. Weird.
Yes, they are handicap okay if you get someone to open the doors while you enter and exit. All one level. Ask someone to lift things down for you, most of us don’t mind at all.

It’s like Christmas when my owner comes home from Kroger. I just jump right into those oh-​so-​fun plastic bags and start sniffin’ around.
Besides the plastic bags, Kroger has things specifically for yours-​truly. Owner got me delicious Pounce treats (oh how they make me salivate) and some furry, fake mice toys that fit purrrrrrfectly in my mouth. Those mice are officially my new favorite accessories and I proudly carry them everywhere around the house.
