I like Royal River -- it feels like I'm entering some great big mountain lodge or cabin near a lake…read morethat just happens to be filled with fresh produce, locally crafted goods, and an abundance of natural foods and health items. Regarding the customer service: I've had some really weird interactions here (one cashier tried to make me feel badly for having colored hair and told me how I was contributing to the destruction of the environment [my hair dye is actually vegan, non-toxic, and paraben free]), I've also had some really helpful interactions here when I had questions about the aromatherapy and Ayurvedic properties in something. So, in my experience, it's been difficult to read the overall vibe of the people who work here. I wouldn't go out of my way to drive here from Portland for anything in particular, however recently a product that I really loved at Whole Foods suddenly disappeared off the shelves. Every employee I asked about it said they had "never heard of it before" (side note: I've been buying this product every week for three or four years now). So I put in an order for a case of it; a week later Whole Foods called me back to say that this item was no longer being manufactured. Enter Royal River. Knowing they also carry this particular product (the only place I recall seeing it at recently) I call and put in a special order. Two days later they call me back saying my case is available for pick up (and I get a 10% discount for buying a whole case too!). I don't know if this product will or won't be around in the future, but I gotta give a virtual high five to RRNF for coming through on this one!

Year round store in Naples - hooray!! This is our go to grocery store - yes Hanafords is cheaper…read moreand has a bigger selection but I want to support Naples local businesses and I love that they are here all year. They have a weird selection of store brands from other stores, small produce selection, pre-cut deli, and lots of baked goods, chips, vacation snacks and more. They have a good beer selection and the UFO next door has even more beer. They also have an entire aisle dedicated to Naples clothing where we got t-shirts for the kids and sweatshirts. The clothing is cheaper than buying it at one of the gift shops down on the causeway. The negatives are that the parking lot gets very crowded on Saturdays in the summer and it can be tough to park a big truck in there. The check out lines can also get long especially on the far side of the store where they sell the cigarettes. Avoid that line if you can!

I don't think people who live in this area realize how great they have it with this Hannaford…read more(clearly they've never been to the one on Forest Ave in Portland which is no less than traumatizing). It's tremendously clean! It's extremely well stocked! It's an easy to navigate floor plan! The produce is beautiful looking! The cheese area is abundant and beautifully maintained! People shopping here are neighborly to each other! Seriously, it's a very nice store. Sure, I'm one of those people who prefers the segregation of my Nature's Place organic and natural foods into their own area, but they do a solid job at clearly identifying the sections among the aisles that are home to those products. I will admit: I've never been here during the middle of summer, so maybe it is a lot more hectic and chaotic here. But your busy Hannaford during July is the Hannaford on Forest Ave in Portland 24/7/365, so perspective. No, the parking lot isn't the best of the Hannaford parking lots (I'd say Westbrook and Lewiston have those) - mostly because the entrance/exit is a bit constricted; and, inside, there could be more aisles open when cashing out, but I appreciate that the Self Checkouts were all working and moved quickly. All in all, Yarmouth is lucky to have such a nice Hannaford!

Parking - it is a shared lot with a few other businesses and it is a shared driveway - it makes it a bit crowded and hectic. The parking lot can be a challenge to navigate whether you're walking through or driving through it. It seems that someone is always honking at someone. People don't really look carefully, so be on the lookout for reverse lights. The good news about the small lot, is that carriage racks aren't far from wherever you might be and i have NEVER seen a stray cart sitting out in the middle of the lot. The store seems smaller than most I have been in and is very crowded during peak hours, end of day between 5-6pm. I have found the quality of the produce to be great and sourced locally. They were selling Ricker Hill Farms Apples today. Great quality. The bakery and cheese section is where I spend a lot of time while waiting for the deli number to be called. One word LOCAL! Pigs Fly Bread, BIG SKY BREAD!!!! Debbie's Pies, Wicked Whoopie Pies and PINELAND FARMs cheeses!! I could go on and on, but you just need to come and see for yourself. The rest of the aisles and products are typical, until you get to the other side of the store, where there is an Agency Liquor store inside! It's a nice space, plenty of options of wine, spirits, beer and on occasion they have tastings. While they don't have rare/limited release beers, they do have a good selection of craft beer. Staff is pleasant for the most part. They work quickly to move customers through the lines. The only complaint I have is that their customer service desk, isn't really a customer service desk...it's a register and if there isn't enough staff and or they are busy, they close it and only run it as a checkout. Hence the 1 less star, as I really needed stamps, so much for my one stop shopping. I do recommend this Hannaford if you are in the area. Great products and good prices. Don't forget to bring your own bag to avoid the $.05 surcharge.
