After shopping @ another local grocery store and I was not able to find the correct pie crust that…read moreI needed I was happy to know that Hannaford's was open until 10pm. I have gotten a certain brand of pie crust from here in the past that is my favorite, I don't remember the brand but I know it when I see it. So I headed over here since it was after 9pm. I was disappointed to find out that they didn't have that brand that I liked but I was able to get a different brand. I wander around the store to see if there was anything else that I may have wanted to purchase. I did find a reasonably priced chocolate cookie cake that I picked up for one of my BF's bday. I have to say unfortunately I'm not a big fan of this grocery store. The layout here is weird and the produce section wasn't very full. Most everything in here is way overpriced. They only had self checkouts opened & the two guys working that night (06/15/2024 @ 2132) were running around the self-checkout area being loud with each other. When you pull into the parking lot the area isn't well lite up & it looked closed but I knew it was open when I saw someone walking in. This to me is a safety issue esp. being a female & alone. I definitely miss the good old Pic & Pay days!!

I'm not sure what happened to my review that I had last wrote but it's no longer here. I feel that…read morethis location has gone a little down hill since it changed ownership. There use to be long time employee's working here & now there are employee's that haven't worked here for very long, as indicated by their name badges. It is nice not having employees that speak foreign languages (no, I'm not being racists but its rude) to be at the registers talking to the bagger in another language while you're checking out, not sure what happened to those employees?? At my job you're not allowed to speak any other language but English around your co-workers, break room, nsg. station, etc. The cashier's are more attentive now. :-) I LOVE their subs, my favorite is ham & cheese. Last mth when I went in to place an order in person the sub maker was horrible. After telling her what not to put on my sub she was putting it on the sub (like no salt) I had to tell her more than once to stop. I had also asked her for light pepper relish & she picked up a huge spoon full & was putting it on my sub. I had to tell her more than once to stop. She was also super slow.....I did inform a manager on my way out on her "sub making & listening skills." It was torturing!! I still LOVE their red bliss potato salad....sooo yummy! They have a nice cheese selection. Their cooked chickens are small & expensive @ $10.00. Their brand name items are reasonably priced but man I feel like a lot of other things have gone up such as their bakery items. I've grown up on Market Basket, it definitely has changed over the years but I still have to stop in here when I'm home visiting to get my some of their red bliss potato salad!! LOL

I just feel like I HAVE to leave a review of this Trader Joe's because I have received…read moreextraordinary customer service on multiple occasions when visiting. First - my roommate and I visited Trader Joe's right after moving to Portsmouth. The cashier looked at our IDs since we were buying wine, and when she found out that we had just moved to the area, she gave us a reusable bag as a welcome gift. We were so touched by this welcome and really appreciated the gesture as we had just arrived and were starting to settle in. Second, and most recently, my partner and I were picking up a couple of items on a Sunday night. We went to get in the checkout line and then remembered that we needed to grab one more thing. Just then, the bagging attendant told us "I'll open another lane for you guys" to which we responded that we needed to grab another thing. He told us it was not a problem and he'd be ready when we got back, and returned to bagging. We went, got our item, and upon our return to the checkout line, the attendant immediately opened up another lane. Although this may seem small, I was so appreciative that the attendant not only wanted to improve our experience initially, but cared enough to keep an eye on us while we picked up another item and opened up another lane for us as soon as we returned. I felt that it truly went above and beyond and I wish I remembered his name to give him a shoutout. I would be remiss if I concluded this review with no mention of the Trader Joe's food. Their frozen meals are amazing and all of their food is so high quality; I've never had a product that disappointed.
