    Today was my last shift at T&R after about three years of getting to work with the wonderful folks…read morethere. When I shop, it is so important to me to shop at places that treat their employees well, that are community oriented, and that aren't just another corporate-hell extracting labor and resource from small communities. I thought I'd offer up a little bit of the experience working there for others that are intentional with how they direct their resources: I am not new to the work force but am new to experiencing actual care, support, and trust consistently from a work space. - Certainly new to the comradery of a woman owned, small business, über-focused on a culture of mentorship, collaboration, growth, and providing excellent service and product to the surrounding community. They are truly committed to building long term rapport with return customers and create a cozy, friendly, specialty experience. Things that really stick out as well; each month there is a, 'round-up,' for area organizations, there exists a genuine effort and space for supporting local vendors, there is a general tone of support and excitement/interest for staff (be it hardships or accomplishments/joys). Many of the folks there are entering into the work force for the first time and when it is time to move on, respectively, there is a real sense of supporting their lift-off and keeping the door open for them to have a place to return to. It is inter-generational at T&R and that, in my view, is what ideally a community should be - of course it's a job, and imperfect, and there were little social conflicts here and there during my time, but what few things bubbled up were handled with such kindness, empathy, spaciousness, communication. It was impressive to me that solutions and conversations could take place with respect and calm - having had so many past experiences loaded with tension and just lack of communication at other work places. As a late thirty something human, I learned SO much working there and will always admire and adore the people. I admire the owners and managers terribly deeply, and appreciate how important that space was/is. Yes, it's a business, but TIller& Rye is doing something really special and I could not endorse it more vehemently. Also - I'm queer - the first day I started, the owner (in our little touch base) used my pronouns - something that my previous job of three years did so few times I can count on my fingers). The folks at T&R are imperfect humans like the rest of us - but unlike so so many places I have worked, they are open-hearted, incredibly considerate/smart, practicing connection and community in a way I just have not seen. I hope so much that I find anything close to that moving forward. It may be weird to mention any whiff of imperfection - but I do because it's a place that felt like I could also be my whole, weird, imperfect, odd duck self and that would be okay. Being there reminded by showing me that we're whole, complex, goofy, awkward, flailing, succeeding, trying...and that's life. TLDR: Work there. Eat there. T&R is spot worth your money and worth your time. My heart is full of gratitude as I move onto my next chapter. Cannot thank y'all enough.

    We were in the area today and remembered how much of a fun stop they could be…read more They were out of Baked by Joy's ube cookies but we were lucky enough to grab one of the pandan (a naturally fragrant plant that is known as Southeast Asia's vanilla) ones. We also found some cannoli shells which were 50% off, and some imported chocolate hazelnut spread. Service is friendly, store layout and presentation are well thought out, prices are a bit high but they are understandable considering they have some unique and healthy offerings.

    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.
