If you do speak Spanish then the service is great . Got 14 pieces of fried chicken with a ton of beans and rice 23$ it was a steal.

The reason why I only gave three stars is because the Establishment looks like it came out of a movie filmed in the 1950s. I also found it strange that they had mixers for alcoholic beverages...yet they didn't sell any alcohol at this store. Overall, I would say that it is just a average grocery store that is in dire need of an upgrade.

There is a health and beauty aisle as well as paper products and storage needs. Seasonally they offer items such as bug spray in warm weather and ice melt in winter. There is a small organic produce area as well as other organic items scattered throughout the store. They also offer alternative milk products. Their inventory covers most everything you could want and they have their own brand which saves some money. Gift cards are always available in whatever denomination you choose. Seasonal food items are often located toward the front of the store such as holiday candy and sometimes small gift items. Fresh flowers are located near produce. Lots of parking. Shopping carts are inside.

I needed white socks and tshirts. All of these items are locked up in cabinets....REALLY? In Salem, there are rows of these items where I can peruse w/o glass and don't require to contact personnel in order to make a purchase. This is VERY inconvenient and what is wrong with this store? Are people stealing tshirts, socks, underwear and more? I believe that their batteries are also this way too. Finding someone to open the case was not something I wanted to do, so I just drove across the street to TARGET where I could find what I wanted and I could make the purchase on my own - the selection was less, but I was more than happy NOT to have to seek out someone with a key to make a small purchase. (Apparently the clientele between these two stores is very different or perhaps it is just the way that Walmart handles it or treats their customers - I do find it insulting that the store has to lock up things or perhaps it is just sad... :-( ) In looking at he reviews, I see that someone else has commented on items locked up tight and the hassle she had to get to the item of interest: Bad customer service experience I asked for help three times and nobody could get somebody with a key for something small I wanted in the glass cases. They made an announcement to the store and there was still nobody until one woman noticed I was waiting and went across to the store to get a set. I guess this store has a lot of mistrust with people having keys that nobody has one ---- This just stresses the fact that I will continue to visit other Walmarts if that is the store I need for an item and avoid the Methuen store if at all possible. I recall someone telling me about 20 years ago that they refused to go to this store also.

I've seen so many molded fruits/veggies on the shelves, and as well and brought home a number of things that molded the next day. I've gotten to the point that I've been writing companies as well when I've seen their molded produce, because it's actually just ridiculous at this point. My mom visits from out of town and independently offered up the same observation about this whole foods without prompting, as have a number of friends in the area. I also find that their selection generally is pretty lacking for anything beyond some basics. Maybe that's just a reflection of the size store or location?

With very little regard for its customers, the Whole Foods store in Andover, Massachusetts, got rid…read moreof the small area where people could sit and grab a quick bite (photo on left) and instead replaced it with a tall table pushed against the window and in a direct way of heavy traffic of shoppers pushing their carts not only to the 2 exit doors but also to the table where people are sitting at (photo on right). The new sitting area is positioned right in between 2 large exit doors, which is extremely cold and drafty. After speaking to some of the staff that attend to the hot & cold bars about the mediocre quality and quantity of options, we were told, "Our bars are not big sellers." We replied, "Don't you think your indifference & lack of care has something to do with it?" Clearly this particular Whole Foods doesn't respect & value its customers judging by the new sitting arrangement and the very poor upkeep of its hot & cold bars. Whole Foods in Andover doesn't just take your Whole paycheck, they also serve Whole containers of disrespect.
