I'm really surprised by some of the prior reviews, but I notice that some of the reviews are old, and maybe the store has improved since then.
My review: the store is always clean, no clutter in the aisles.
I love the self-bagging registers-very rarely a wait and their is always someone there to help if you have a problem scanning.
Their produce is always fresh (thank goodness they got rid of Green Giant Carrots-they were the worst). I bought both pineapple and cantaloupes over the past three weeks, and I am really surprised at how good they are, this being the off-season. I find that Sunday is not a good time to shop for produce, anywhere, as the supply is low and substandard.
The meat dept is always stocked well and the butchers have made special cuts for me several times, and seemed happy to help.
The manager, Mr Murphy, has also helped me several times and says hello everytime I am in there.
On the negative side, there isn't a huge selection of certain items. They carry everything, but maybe not every variety of each brand. Truth be told, I have the same problem in BJs...I can find a certain brand of peanut butter, but only creamy, nut chunky.
A second annoyance would be the placement of the weekly fliers and the baskets. The fliers are after you enter the first set of doors, then you stop for a flier and hope no one behind you hits you in the butt with their wagon, then you go through a second set of doors. Why not just put therack of flyers inside the store, so someone can pull over and take one without holding everyone else up? Also, the baskets should be closer to the entrance, so I can take one and go straight down the first aisle to shop, not have to go over to the registers, sometimes cutting through the lines, to get a basket and then go back to the first aisle. Maybe put them next to the deli kiosk, along with the circulars?
The kiosk for the deli is a huge plus for me. I can shop while they get my order ready, then grab it and go.
Ok, rant over.
Overall, I go to a King Kullen almost exclusively, because it's NOT huge, and things are easy to find, making it a time saver. read more
