Kroger

You won’t often catch me writing a review for a grocery store, let alone my least favorite chain, however I’m making an exception for this store. The outside screams «decrepit» but the inside was clean, well laid out and stocked. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was pleasantly surprised! Go Kroger!

Not sure what the bad reviews are about but I think it was an older Kroger. The one there now is clean and big and has what you whatever you may need.
It has all major sections: bank, deli, seafood, hot foods. I’ve been there dozens of time though and I don’t know if I remember a pharmacy. So there might not be one.
There’s always a line at the checkout which sucks. And they have far too many 15 item or less aisles. Today there were 4 15 item or less aisles open and one regular lane (in addition to self check out). So everyone with more than 15 items was stuck in one lane. Even still, this is a decent Kroger.

This review is strictly for the bakery. I placed a cake order online Friday morning for pickup on Sunday afternoon. 2 days. So I go to the bakery, & she tells me there’s no order & no cake. She kept on stating that they would have to order the cake… I know that…& that is why I placed the order 2 days ahead… She said she can decorate another cake for me but I don’t want any other cake… the theme I wanted was Frozen. If I wanted another cake, I wouldn’t have placed a order. Our argument was going nowhere so I stormed out pretty pissed. She walked over to check her email as I was leaving. She called me 5 min later and apologized. She said that she now sees the email. it was «all the way at the bottom». But she apologized and offered to decorate a Frozen themed cake and a $ 5 discount. So for trying to work it out and calling me back, it gets a star. But lesson learned. I’m never ordering anything online at this Kroger ever again.

It’s an average supermarket that I only go to for certain sales when there is no other supermarket around. Don’t expect to find an employee to assist you, they always seem to be scarce when needed. Also it’s always pretty packed so expect to walk from your vehicle.

Pretty convenient location. Not the nicest Kroger but it’s always stocked with the necessities.

For the folks back home… Kroger is the equivalent to Food4Less. You know, the prices are lower so the quality is hit and miss. I don’t cook very much these days, there is no reason to. I am an old lady about to receive my red hat, so until I get some grandkids, I eat out or make salad and sandwiches at home. I rate grocery stores on the quality of the deli food. My assessment: Publix is waay better than Kroger in the deli area (But Kroger is waaay better than the Wal-​Mart SuperStore deli)
Skipping the deli for minute, you can get some deals on generic/​everyday shit that would cost more at Publix. For instance, the arugula is cheaper here, the wine, toilet paper, rotisserie chicken (mainly for Daisy) coffee, milk and other general shit is cheaper and they are closer to me than Publix.
But, like I said… I am a deli person. The cheese here is tasteless. The sandwiches are a bit lacking… but the best thing about this spot… there is a Bank of America inside which cuts my trips down by one. Yeah, sure the tellers are always bullshitting, standing around and talking while the line gets longer. But they did the same thing in Albertson’s. It’s a BofA thing, not a Kroger thing.
So, for as much as I like Kroger for the basics, I’m still a Publix kinda girl.
