I was excited to see this place open....back in the days when Bed, Bath & Beyond was still in business, we went over to Brookfield a lot to shop there. At the time, this space was built out as an Amazon Fresh that was always slated to open "in a few months". But after a couple of years, it was officially announced that Amazon wouldn't open, which was a bummer for the plaza and grocery shoppers in the area (although Stew Leonard's is right down the block so it's not like it was a food desert).
Anyway, thankfully Big Y took the space, breathing new life into the plaza as well as providing lots of jobs. Since I was in the area and I needed some mozzarella cheese, I decided to stop by and check out the market and I really liked it!
The store is nicely designed and very inviting. The shelves were full and while mentally reviewing my standard grocery list, I could see they had all the stuff I usually need, unlike some stores (cough, cough...Stop and Shop).
I got the cheese I needed and saw that I would save $1.70 if I signed up for a Big Y card, so I did that quickly on my phone to get my discount. Staff at checkout were friendly.
In short, this is a clean, well-stocked store with good deals and friendly staff. I liked it. read more
