Grand openings are not always conducive to fair analysis and review because even poorly managed…read morebusinesses frequently are capable of creating a mirage for those glorious initial days when colorful banners entice customers through their doors. The City of Paulsboro is desperate for something bright and new so this mini-grocery store's shining edifice along a highway of despair is truly needed. No, this is not the mirror image of those convenience stores named after the rolls of dice who offer a few dusty grocery items amidst old crusty frankfurters on heated wheels but most familiar labels do go missing amongst your options. Curiosity linked directly to $5 off a $25 purchase coupon on a day when I needed about $30 worth of groceries enticed me to travel the 2 mile journey southwards. The fresh tar scent rose on this hot day from the deep dark colored parking lot highlighted in freshly painted outlines of parking spaces! Everything was bright and shiny even the concrete building appeared to have been placed polished. Entering through the entrance/exit door combo that on some future date risks customer collisions one immediately is in the land of fresh produce. Ok it is more like a produce corner because the options are few because after all this is not a full service grocer. But bananas are being sold at last century prices, which is pretty cool and the employees all are smiling. If there is one glorious consistency at this Save a Lot it is the smiles and care for customers demonstrated by every single employee I observed. I even felt the positive vibes as a management type directed his new employees in their tasks. Make this a hallmark of this business and people will look forward to their grocery shopping. Prices throughout the store are reasonable but they don't offer classics from world renowned labels. I was disappointed not to find V8 juice amongst the choices. Their frozen (at sea perhaps) seafood was a great bargain even though not one itsy bitsy shrimp reached my cart. Meat items adorned in plastic protective enclosures were butchered elsewhere but seemed quite popular with my fellow shoppers. The shelves were neat and items stacked in their shipping boxes. Gleamingly clean floors and freezer cases that you can actually look through all added to the appeal. The good news I found everything I needed. After all I was only shopping for $30 worth of stuff ... I actually bought a few bonus items. The bad news ... this store's limited produce and small selection of meat options will not entice me to change my food shopping habits, This poverty entrenched small city along one of America's broken highways deserves the hope offered by a bright shiny well managed business that provides jobs and good customer service. This store during Grand Opening Week might be a boost this community needs to reverse directions and its owners deserve credit for apparently doing everything the right way!
