I have enjoyed going to Geresbeck’s for the quality. Today I was in line and the Manager supposedly noticed a patron shoplifting. After a bit of yelling up by the registers the manager grabbed the(suspected) shoplifter and pinned him against the wall. Needless to say all hell broke loose up front with about 50 ppl in line. The manager was more concerned with saving $ 5 a shoplifter might have been taking versus all the customers he had in line. During their scuffle they came within two feet of me. I will never return. The owner of this chain should consider replacing the manager. I have worked in retail for 30 years and never seen anything like this. Cussing from the managers and employees. Was it really worth the few $‘s he might take? Jeez. You have him on camera.

Spend $ 100 week at nearby Mars. Thought I wanted to check out someplace different. Found prices much much higher at Gershbecks. For instance: 18 frozen pancakes, exact same package, $ 2.99 at Mars, $ 3.79 at Gershbecks. Paper products also much higher. Back to Mars I go. By the way, overall, they seem not to want new customers.

I LOVE their bakery! It is truly the best bakery around. The cakes are amazingly delicious! I also love this store for the produce and seafood. The steamed shrimp is awesome! The meat selection is always reasonably priced as well. Their selection in the rest of the store is okay, but

I’m not sure if anything is wrong or not but Geresbeck’s website causes my antivirus to alarm. I wonder if they were hacked? If anyone from Geresbeck’s is reading these you may want to check that out. Otherwise I like shopping here, I don’t get to visit often but if I’m on this side of town I’ll stop in.

I shop there weekly. Great Seafood and Deli. My family and friends love it when I throw a party or gathering. They know where I shop. I’m totally happy that they have Rutter’s milk. I would pick up 2 gallons when I’m in York, PA. Was in yesterday and they now have Rutter’s Egg Nog. It’s the best. Especially with rum. I usually buy 6 ½ gallons of Egg Nog at a time when in PA. now I can buy it here. If you haven’t had it yet try it. It is good. not watery or thick like some others.

I’ve only bought items from the bakery so I can’t comment on the rest of the store but so far its FIVE stars! The eclairs, peach cake, doughnuts, cookies, cannolis… omg! everything is delicious, fresh, and reasonably priced.

I’m bumping this one up a notch. Their produce section is much better than the other grocery stores in the area. So much better that I’m thinking about buying all the other things at Food Lion and then coming here for produce only. On one end of the store, the produce is awesome, and on the other, the bakery is amazing. But everything in between is lackluster with a poor selection.

A friend wanted to stop in here. So i said what the heck since i never been here before. I could tell this was a good store because the place was ultra clean & organized. Mostly everything was on sale. And the people which are mostly from essex are a somewhat decent crowd of people who are friendly & respectful. And the employees were ultra friendly. Overall i WILL come back whenever i’m in the area.

The bakery is an absolute 5! Amazing, with their own brand of fudge for donut toppings and brownie icing. Fresh baked bread and eclairs like you’ve never had. If this were a bakery I’d have no issues going with a 5 star review all the way. The store has decent prices on some things and really overpriced on others, as well as a bit of a limited selection. The reason for that is they’re much smaller than larger chain stores and have been in the same location for years and years. What you’ll want to keep an eye out for is their sales and pick and choose. Meat is always a great price. The produce section again has enough to get you through, but is hit or miss on product and freshness depending on when you go. The deli has an absolute TON of salads and an average selection of meats. They have the world’s best shrimp salad. I wish I could give half stars because the whole experience isn’t QUITE a 5, but so close!

I’ve been coming to this store for over a decade now. I love it. The prices are pretty high and the sales suck compared to some other local grocery stores but I come here often. Also, they have one of the best deli sections.

I LOVE going here for two reasons. One, steamed shrimp. They steam and season however many pounds of shrimp you order while you shop. Two, the eclairs are out of this world! Also, the prices on both are very reasonable. This neighborhood grocery store is one of my favorites. I’m a fan.
