    Hannaford Supermarkets - Renaming of Bud's Shop & Save

    Decent Hannaford's with some really nice people working. The store is smaller than the Hannafords…read moreI'm used to visiting. But it's clean and well organized. Had some fun banter with some of the staff in the aisles as well as the person who checked me out. Shared funny food stories and what not, I appreciated the time to be welcoming and ensure the customer enjoys the visit.

    After shopping at this Hannafords for over a year, I feel I should point out a couple of details I…read morehadn't experienced early on. It is still great to have a supermarket so close by. The employees are friendly and it is of course more convenient than driving to Newport or even farther. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention what I have noticed over the longer haul. It is of course a small store where this chain is concerned. So we have found they don't have items listed in the sales flyer sometimes, and also that they run out of common items, such as ice cream or, most recently, hamburger and hot dog buns. Now granted it was a holiday weekend, and when I went in on Tuesday morning they had them again, but nowhere near a full shelf. Perhaps their operating budget only allows for them to stock enough if everything is normal, and events like holidays or hot days overwhelm their ordering capacity. Still, I am glad to have them nearby, especially with the current price of gas.

    This is a Hannafords store and has the large sign on the building, but here on Yelp it is still…read morelisted as Bud's Shop 'n Save. It is not the closest Hannafords to us here,but it is larger than our Dexter store, and therefore not only has a wider stock of items but often will have sale items not available in the smaller branches. The first time I went in was to check on using the Klynk system for returnable cans and bottles, but it all happens through the register lines rather than Customer Service and it was crazy busy so I found a nearby redemption center. But I have since shopped at Hannafords a few times and like it for the above-mentioned wider stock. We recently wanted to celebrate by buying some lobsters and steamers, and this branch had them. Since we only buy either item once a year or so, we were pleased to buy both in Newport while they were on sale. I still really like our small-town branch where everyone is helpful and friendly, but also thankful to have this larger Newport store just a dozen miles away.

    Bud's does a good job countering the nightmare food-shopping scenario that would be a trip to…read moreWal-Mart. There are a few things missing from this Shop'n Save's shelves that seem like they should be there, but the people who work here are courteous, pleasant, and will go out of their way to help you. Plus you know you are getting way better groceries at Bud's than at the land of the creepy smiley face. I know that I am spoiled living in Providence, where I can get my hands on pretty much anything I want within a 5 mile radius, but it's annoying not to be able to find something like semolina flour at Bud's and having to drive to the natural food store down the street. They do make an effort to carry some international foods (cramming many of their offerings under the "oriental" placard... *cringe*), and they also have a section of natural foods and household goods. Their produce, meats and fish are all fresh and good. The store is neat and clean and I always have a good conversation with the cashiers and baggers. For Newport, Maine: 4 stars.
