Not the cleanest looking store... it's old & in need of renovations, but the employees are pleasant, helpful & it looks as if those who work in food prep, bakery, dairy & deli do a great job keeping the food safe & appetizing.
People don't really keep socially distant & that includes the employees (although, I don't know how that's possible if you use self-check out & need assistance & there's not much room between people at the registers & those leaving the store, so I suppose it can't be helped... just worth a mention to those who might have to be very cautious of their health), but everyone in the entire store wears a mask every time I visit, so that's good.
Decent beer/wine selection for a small store. Good quality meats. They do have cooked chickens near the registers. Quality of produce is better than Wegman's on the 3 visits to each store this October, which was surprising. For a smaller store, they have a decent, albeit small, selection of many products, like in the Health & Beauty Dept. or first aide items. With Covid, like everywhere else, there's a smaller selection of many things.
It's conveniently located in a strip mall near 309S Exit 6 on Binghamton St. (near Big Lots, an automotive store & Family Dollar), lots of parking & always full, but the employees move fast, so the wait is never painful.
3.5 to 3.75* out of 5.
Good to know:
For outsiders visiting, such as myself, every state has different alcohol sale laws & PA is one of the more confusing states. You can buy beer-wine inside most (not all) supermarkets, but in Gerrity's, it must be paid for at the beer dept's register or checkout #1 only. They'll need to scan your ID. Every supermarket has different registers which can ring up alcohol sales, so look for the signs.
Hard liquor is sold only at liquor stores, which sometimes carry wine, but never beer & the area's Case stores sell cases of beer only... some are drive-thru & they'll put the case in your trunk. You can also buy a 6-pack at most pizza parlors or bars... the bartender will ring you up. Occasionally, you'll find a restaurant, which sells beer by the 6-pk, as well as some convenience stores at gas stations. Look for the signs.
Also, if you want store sale's prices, you'll need to ask for a store rewards card & use your telephone # to key in each time you visit. Cashiers do not have a counter card for visitors. Also, you'll need the physical card if you go through the self-check out... there's no keypad to key in your phone #. Pay attention to sale prices... I paid $10+ more for just a few items because I didn't know I needed a physical card (I don't have one, I'm just an out of state visitor) at the self-check out. read more
