On 9/21 I came to Stop & Shop because I have been wanting buffalo style wings for two days. I…read morelooked all over SS and this is what I found, a small bag (pictured). If I went to BJ's I can get a bigger bag. So here's my comparison - Stop & Shop: $11.99 for 22 oz ~$0.545 per ounce - BJ's: $21.99 for 64 oz ~$0.343 per ounce, that's a 36% savings at BJ's. While Stop & Shop is banking on impulse buys and smaller package margins my delayed gratification and bulk economics of BJ's win out, which makes me a winner. I refuse to purchase from Stop and Shop that day but they may have a better bargain another day. I'm so grateful that I took a course in economics it helps with smart decisions making and impulse purchases.

Stop & Shop - 460 Franklin Ave, Franklin Square, NY…read more This place is more than a grocery store--it's home. I've been coming here since I was 12 years old, and the vibe hasn't changed: friendly staff, familiar faces, and carts that might just be as seasoned as the team pushing them The produce section is fresh and well-stocked, and for my fellow plant-based shoppers, there's a solid selection of vegan options--from plant-based meats to dairy-free treats. They've even upgraded with two EV charging stations, perfect for my tree-hugging electric vehicle friends. Whether you're grabbing tissues, apples, or just a little human connection, Stop & Shop on Franklin Ave delivers. It's the kind of place where you don't just shop--you belong. Boomsauce Scale: B - basura (trash) BS - basic (come on! Try harder) BS + - better (Yo! That's better) BS ++ - best (alright! Alright! Alrightttt!) BS +++ - Amazing location! now that's boomsauce! Trust me--I am vegan.

I came to Cherry Valley Marketplace because I needed a bottle redemption center. The redemption…read moremachines were fully functional and the outside area was kept well. First site driving up to this location, I saw the well crafted and color coded logo and I took notice of the words "Market Place" in the brand name. After walking in I was mesmerized by the site of what was in the entrance. Like a kid in a candy shop I began to stammer out of excitement. I stood in front of the pastry and cakes area and the person behind the bar, spoke and kindly asked if I needed anything. I stated that I was just looking, he responded by saying, if you need anything, just let me know, I'll get it for you. Awesome custom service!!! He scored big . This is a MARKET PLACE, they have a plethora of stuff. Bread's of all sorts, snacks, cakes, flowers. They have a coffee bar. A hot food bar, a salad bar, smoothie bar, and a dining area to relax and enjoy. I actually walked through the entire store because I could not believe my eyes. I will give an A for their merchandiser. Although most people aren't aware of product merchandising, I am a merchandiser and I saw little room for improvement, one might say the merchandising efforts were not miniscule. The entire store was magnificent . My attention went to the smoothie bar, the lady behind the counter was more than helpful, engaging, and maintained eye contact when conversing. The name of the drink is Fresh Green (FG), the drink was obviously fresh as they have tons of fresh produce in the area. Kale, lemon, celery, and apple is noticable and gave a distinction taste. I am enthusiastic about my next visit.

They really delivered with how clean the store was. I'm very happy with their in store shopping, the people working here were super nice. They showed us the soda area really quick, too bad they didn't have the ginger ale we needed. But I was very happy how put together the store was. Normally this store is super packed in Queens. I definitely see myself shopping at this location instead of my local place.

We always go to cross Island for fruits and vegetables. It's a nice store and they have a wide…read morevaried selection of all kinds of vegetables. If you're in the area, you must go over there. I must say, though that there has been one disappointment lately. They used to carry a brand of cannoli cookies made by Maria's Taralli. For reasons unknown to me they stopped carrying them and now carry a different kind of cannoli cookie, which does not measure up. Please bring back Maria's cannoli cookies. They are the best. I had to find another store that carried them, and I will include pictures of the most delicious cannoli cookies.

The store wasn't as packed as I imagined, but everyone's carts were full as I'm on line for one silly little onion.

Ran in today for a couple of items. It's a "senior discount" day, a whole 5% off your purchase…read more Hey, I'll take it. My stuff came to a bit over $16 and I asked for the discount and the kid says, oh, you have to spend $20! WTL...??? No other store has this little asterisk, (not to mention this place also has the highest prices in the area) not even the Key Food on Central Avenue. I do realize they are different owners, but the umbrella name is Key Food, so maybe a little bit of continuity would be nice? I told the manager, whose bigger manager was there and he said, yeah, they had a meeting and this was what they decided. Ok then, now I've made a decision and it's to never shop this store again. My mother may love the cole slaw, but she'll learn to live without it. 5% isn't going to break me, but you know what? Every penny counts, especially for seniors.

so we've been coming here for a few years. it's just okay for the basics. there aren't many…read morespecialty items, but that makes sense since it's not really positioned that way. that said, i do have a few concerns. the produce section can be hit or miss. sometimes the tomatoes and other items seem clearly past their prime. there also tends to be limited stock on certain products. some of the cashiers are genuinely warm and helpful, but others come across as disengaged or unhappy, which really affects the overall experience.

7/29, I stopped in…read moreto do some bottle recycling and to pick up some fruit. I arrived while the recycling center was empty, just an employee cleaning the recycling machines. He was very pleasant and kind. My machine topped off to full while he was yet in the room and he swopped it out quickly. Picking up buy 2 get 1 on the strawberry, blackberry, and blueberries. Grabbed 2 avocados, some plums and a single hand of bananas. FYI a hand of bananas can also be called a cluster, containing 4 to 7 or 10 to 20 fingers attached to a stem. I also purchased Pepperidge Farm cinnamon swirl bread, not very happy with this purchase, I thought it was similar to the raisin bread. This bread is like chomping down on a 2x4 thick AF! The store was immaculate and busy, workers doing what the do on a normal day. They need to be commended on how well they go about their duties while interacting with customers. The lady at the front desk was kind but she didn't supply my request, I asked for a winning Powerball ticket, I only had one number that matched (try not to take me too serious, she did a great job). Cashing out was also pleasant. I enjoyed shopping in Long Island as opposed to the Springfield/ Merrick Blvd location. It was a good day, so .. Inspire more, Yelp more!

Stopped by today to get some weekly needed grocery items, and saw this wrap and decided to try it…read morefor lunch! I got the grilled chicken wrap (as a wrap lover) and enjoyed it. It was fresh, the chicken was not dry, and flavorful. I thought it was a unique addition to add broccoli since it's not usually in most grilled chicken wraps, and it paired perfectly.

I couldn't believe this deception!! So the following day I went back to the market with my photos and was directed to the manager, Mike, whom was on the phone. I said I Need ed to talk to him and he says you can talk to me while I'm on the phone!! My sister says to him when you get off the phone. He proceeded to tell her he can be on the phone if he wants and don't tell him what to do!! I was astonished that a person with his position would talk to a customer like that. That happened, and then he says to me I'll give you $10.00 back since you already ate it! Mike, you a nasty person and should find another line of work!! You definitely do not belong in customer service. Shame on you!! Needless to say we will not be patronizing the village market any longer.

Instead of resolving the issue, the management team specifically Maria, Claudia, and Donna refused to hand over the groceries or assist with returning my funds.

I felt completely targeted and discriminated against as a customer. I have never experienced such disgusting customer service. Save your money and do not shop at this location.
