The Flagship Kroger grocery store is a veritable social place where families can certainly find the essentials of food, drinks, and almost every retail item you need for living your best life; it has a helpful pharmacy for your prescriptions and positive Metroplex vibes, and sells seasonal sports teams items, including baseball hats and Dallas Cowboys football team stickers for vehicles. It's a funny, but true fact that a major restaurant, the famous Greenhouse restaurant on Hickory St., near the downtown area, has named one of the signature cocktails, the Kroger Parking Lot Death Match Parking Lot, which commemorates the stealthy moves that drivers must do for securing an empty spot in the confines of a limited space type of environment. Be careful and don't worry about the crazy crowded popular store that is equidistant from the Texas Woman's University campus and the Razor Ranch Complex that houses the best bet for all of our basic needs. Shop Denton First is a great idea for you to get your family's own lives safe and beautiful. Cheers, Mark F. For Yelp Elite. read more

I am a customer who was profiled and discriminated against on the basis of disability this morning by the Store Manager, Allen Cosby. When entering, I was wearing a heavy coat, which was quite warm. I also had a backpack, on top of the items I was carrying. While shopping, I placed all of these items (coat, backpack) into a shopping cart to ease the strain on my lower back and abdomen (I have a hernia). I then purchased some oatmeal, peanut butter, and mixed greens. Immediately after the using the self-checkout, I realized I forgot to check if a brand of rice was on sale. I pushed my cart- including the items I had already purchased, double-bagged- to the rice aisle. After loading the rice into the shopping cart (not into any plastic bag, mind you) I was immediately approached by Store Manager Allen Cosby, who said "you can't just be walking around here like that with your bags in the cart." I stated that I was carrying them in the cart because I had a hernia condition. He said that I still can't be "walking around like this is your home" and that I need just "get in and get out"- despite the fact that I had only been in the store a few minutes- and that I was causing too much work for the loss prevention team. I returned the rice I was going to purchase to the shelf, and returned the items I had just purchased. Prior to this incident, I had frequently patronized the store, and never been accused of anything like this. Although most of the employees are nice, it appears that management has a different idea on how to treat customers. As Kroger Store Manager, Allen Cosby put it, "I see you here everyday, you're a homeless jack that don't have a job, so I'm going to go ahead and have you removed right now." read more

I've always hated this store for all kinds of reasons, but today was among the worst. The workers had horrid attitudes, there was no manager available to talk to - even the person at the register had a terrible attitude. This store needs to have an entire staff turnover and restart if Kroger plans to keep a presence there. Or just close. read more

I went there today for their hair dye on sale. While I was there I picked up some items on sale. He checked me out and I got in my car to review my receipt. As usual they overcharged me but this time it was $6. Normally I just blow it off but $6 was a bit much. This is exactly why I avoid shopping at Krogers. He even put the lighter fluid in with my produce. Really?? read more

Kroger - Here's the proof - Grocery Near Me - Denton, Texas

Well not only has the service of checking yourself out continued to advance they have now stopped giving change automatically when using cash to pay today was the second time in a month I didn't get my change the first time in didn't think much of it as it was under 20 cents . Today it was 62 cent and I had to ask for the change which I did receive but simply not acceptable. Nice way to add to your bottom line ... read more

Literally the worst grocery store ever. You cant buy a single of beer without being charged for a 6 pack of that single beer. In what world does that make sense? You should be able to be ring up 6 singles and be charged the 10.99 as advertised instead of 10.99 for each single. It's backwards world at Kroger and the systems there are stuck in a time warp. No wonder Heb reigns supreme. read more

Came here to pick up an online order for my parents on the way home from work. Punched in the parking space number and was greeted with a friendly "I'm so sorry you have to live with a mother like that". Nice! I guess since we judge on first impressions I'm going to go ahead and conclude that all of the staff here are assholes. read more

Love this location very good customer service and produce always fresh. All departments were so organized.

The hours posted on Google and this store say that they close at 1 AM. I went in at 12:43 with 17 minutes to close. All of the doors were locked, and when the cashier finally opened the door I was greeted with "You got ten minutes." While I was shopping for my very few items, I was getting stared down the whole time and was rushed to get out. I work retail and I understand that they want to close and get home, as do many midnight shoppers. The disrespect I felt from the staff was like nothing I have ever experienced. The staff weren't wearing name-tags unfortunately. If you can avoid this store (although it's supposed to be convenient) try your best to avoid it. read more

The employees are great. Pharmacy is absolutely fantastic. Clean store. Well kept and clean. Always stocked

This place is disorganized and not organized very well, I found out later from the locals that this particular location has two nicknames, both which can be found in news articles, and I did manage to find them. read more

Kroger has changed a lot over the years from our experiences elsewhere . That is not a compliment . We have during covid using the curb service. We have gotten out dated product, a complete mixup of someone else's groceries (we live about 10 miles away), spoiled or browned produce, and sine Kroger has started pushing their own Kroger packaged products, our favored brands have been significantly reduced or eliminated. Not the only dependable Kroger of years past. ATLEAST not THIS ONE! read more

I contacted the pharmacist Andrew about an issue, and he was extremely rude and unprofessional. I was trying to have a conversation with him, and all he would do is give me attitude. I contacted Kroger corporate office, and the lady acted like I was bother to her and could care less. She said she would let the district manager know, I have not heard anything from Kroger. I will never have medication filled or refilled there again. Very rude and unprofessional pharmacist and staff. read more

Kroger does have a really nice variety. However, they're not the cheapest store on the block, and yet the customer service is very poor as if it we was a discount store. I'm sure they're having trouble getting enough workers, but they also put the kiosks in so they wouldn't have to hire cashiers, so it seems. On Wednesday night, I went there and it was Rush hour around 5:15. There were two cashiers open, and everyone else was in line for a kiosk. The lines were backed up all the way down the aisles. It took 30 minutes to check out. I thought to myself, why would I be paying higher prices for this kind of poor customer service? It's not worth it. I might as well go to a discount store if I'm going to have to be treated as if the customer does not matter. I suggest Kroger fixes this before they lose a lot of their customers. I know it's going to be one of the last places I go from now on. read more

just now What a terrible experience. My husband recently had a massive heart attack and needed some syringes in order to take his medicine. the doctor had called in the syringes three previous times. When I came back to the pharmacy for the fourth time. They told me that they did not have the prescription again. But I was unable to get syringes without a prescription because of drug users. I had a sample of the previous syringes I've gotten in the past. After arguing with me that he did not have a prescription yet again. I called the doctor and ask them to re-send it in. The doctor called it in yet again.i was standing outside at the window in the heat the entire time. He told me to come in. When I told him that the doctor called them in a few times he go mad and printed off my sheet and held it up for others to see. I think that is against hips. I then set the clean needle sample on the counter to show him. He was rude and told me to pick it up and I was not to put it down again. Then he said I would have to wait 45 mins to get three needles. The worst part is that my husband needs hundred of dollars in meds a month to stay alive. That is why we switched from CVS TO Kroger and joined the savings club. Life is already stressful with out being treated bad for your age (I'm over 50) and treated like a drug dealer by your pharmacist. His name was Tim O. They wouldn't give me his last name.

Kroger - Tim O - Grocery Near Me - Denton, Texas

I ordered groceries to be delivered today and Instacart brought them out. However there were items missing and some were incorrect. Since there seems to be only a message center to allow communication for Instacart, I was just at a loss for my much needed grocery items. After calling my local Kroger store and speaking with the manager, Ken, he also looked for a way to help. He called me back, asked for my address and brought me out MANY more items than what was missing! He actually left his store, personally picked out the gluten free items I so desperately needed for my sick child and brought them to my front door! Ken is the managers name and couldn't have been sweeter! Love this store! I know it's gotten some bad raps in the past, but what store hasn't. Well worth it to shop here and get real customer satisfaction. A rare thing in this day!! read more

This Kroger is fairly close to a one stop shop in the grocery store category. They have a pharmacy, deli, bakery and a large selection of normal grocery items and seasonal products. I do shop at other places but that usually means I have to go to several stores to complete my shopping whereas I can be done with my weekly shopping when I go to Kroger. The prices are in line with other stores and in many instances more reasonable. There are of course places you can get items cheaper in bulk but I am reviewing this as the weekly grocery trip place that a majority of people are using it for. Their layout makes sense, I rarely need to ask help to find something and everything is spread out just enough to be able to maneuver a cart where I need to go so they have maximized the use of their floor plan. In my opinion they do a better job of keeping inventory on hand than the other two in town. The only thing I seem them run low on that I frequently get is milk and creamer but that's specific brands so I still have options. The one on Teasley will often have entire coolers empty when I go. Also this location is 24 hours which the one on Teasley is not. I'm not sure about the one on 288 as I am only in the area during normal business hours. Unless you are new to town you don't need to hear that the parking lot is from hell but what are you going to do? It's an average size parking lot for a grocery store; it's not short on spaces, the spaces aren't too skinny or skewed for easy parking, it's not too small. It's just so damn popular that it's constantly congested. They can't expand forward as University is already expanding the road. Short of kicking out every store and taking over the entire parking lot, no one is going to be happy with how crowded it is and how aggressive people can get. 3/5 of the time I avoid the crowds by doing my shopping super early since they are 24/7. This means only the self check out is open but since there is usually only a couple of other customers in the store at the time I use the self checkout for everything that will fit and they use the hand scanner for the larger items like a bag of dog food. It's not as easy as a regular register but I rarely need one unless I am getting bulky items so for me, it's an option. If you tend to do very large shopping trips I would suggest going at 8:30am as I am pretty sure that's when they open the cashier lanes and the store is filing up at that time but the parking lot's not packed yet. read more

This Kroger is a really good Kroger and it's nice to work here and u can make friends easily here

I hate to do this, but it's time. I've been going here for over 20 years and have brushed aside the negatives, but now it's time for a review. TL DR: Bad meat on two different occasions. IN DEPTH: On Sat. Sept 8 I purchased a 10 lb. bag of leg quarters. This was a day after the rat infestation, which I brushed off. I MADE A POINT to grab a bag from the bottom thinking it would be colder, and I came straight home and refrigerated it. Later that night my wife and I detected a faint smell in the fridge. Surely it couldn't be the chicken, right? Well, I opened it today (Mon. Sept 10) and it reeked. I had to Lysol the kitchen after trashing it. The bag said sell by 09-10-2018. So why does it reek?? Back on July 3rd I purchased their Simple Truth lamb chops to grill for the Fourth of July. On the 4th though, I saw it said 'Sell By June 28', so I had to drive back to return it. $14 lamb and it's expired?! SUMMARY: - No more 24 hr operation - Lousy, vagrant-ridden parking lot - Small carts are never stocked - MEAT IS ROTTEN - Rat infestation (now I take that as a symptom of the store's overall mismanagement) Why even shop here anymore? I'll just commute to Loop 288 Kroger, or do even MORE shopping at Winco. If you can't even keep meat cold anymore, then just close already. Let the rats have it. read more

every single time I have come here they have not had any carts. you have to go out and scavenge for one in the parking lot. I didnt sign up for a quest. I dont want to go collect a cart. its really not that hard to have them in the store for people to use. they also are out of things half the time and the prices suck. hopefull an heb comes somewhere close and this wasteland can go out of business. read more

No mask enforcement for customers and even employees. Far too many people in lines which makes keeping distance difficult in the crowded aisles. Even saw someone working in the bakery section without a mask. No thanks. read more

Kroger - Front of Kroger - Grocery Near Me - Denton, Texas

See all

The Pharmacy in this Kroger location is a joke. There's always long lines and wait times. The employees are rude and uninformed. I know they must be extremely short staffed and I understand that affects both the employees and customers alike. However, they close in the middle of the day with now estimated return time just a sign that says "come back later." I went to the second lane in the drive thru because of the line at the window and I didn't have a lot of time to spare so I figured going to the open lane would have been much faster. After buzzing in twice with no response and everyone at the window had already gone through, an employee shouted "Lane 2 is NOT open!" It was very unprofessional. I've also received several text notifications to pick up my prescription when in fact it was not ready at all and the pharmacists had no explanation. So I've wasted trips waiting in line just to be told the message was sent in error. If my RX wasn't so much cheaper there, I wouldn't bother. read more

Worst store ever Dirty, disorganized, short-staffed, rat-infested. Complaints ignored, employees hard to find and can't answer questions when you do find them. Items out of stock for long periods. Fresh items not fresh, including meat and produce. Never enough registers open. Long lines at checkout and longer ones at customer service and pharmacy, which has its own unique, disturbing problems too complicated to detail here. Parking is a nightmare, not enough handicapped parking places or functional motorized carts. Still, I am told this is the most profitable Kroger there is. Incredible! It amazes me that the managers of this store are not fired. Most of the managers I have talked to there don't seem to care. This store does not reflect well on the corporation. read more

I really wish I could give a 0-star review! I bought groceries online to be picked up today. With two hours to go before the pickup Paul (who doesn't have a last name) called and canceled my order because some staff called in sick today. I told him I didn't want the order canceled, give me a later pickup today or move my order to tomorrow. Paul refused and said he didn't get paid enough for this and suggested if I didn't like his attitude I should shop elsewhere. I asked Paul to release the hold on my bank account so I would have the funds to shop elsewhere and he told me I could have the money back in 3 - 5 days. I told him I would prefer to not go hungry for the next 3 - 5 days and asked what else could be done. Paul now getting extremely frustrated by my lack of compassion for his bad day (I should be willing to starve to make his day better) told me to shove it and hung up. I then called the corporate office and asked to either have the hold on my grocery money removed from my checking account or to transfer my order to another location, Todd (who surprisingly enough also doesn't have a last name) suggested I take it up with my bank, he said it would be a pain on his end to contact the bank. I told him it would be a bigger pain for me to go without groceries for 5 days and he seemed smug and unphased. I find it rather distasteful that during record unemployment Kroger assumes that nobody would have a problem with them taking your $244 from your account, not giving you any groceries, and then letting you wait for 5 days to get back the access to your money they have placed on hold. I just want to know why these employees are complaining that they don't make enough money to deal with this, rather than being grateful to have jobs at all during this ordeal. Update: I was just contacted by Paul to let me know they could fulfill my order tonight. Unfortunately, I had already procured the money by other means to purchase groceries elsewhere as he had originally suggested. It is a shame too, I had been shopping at that location since 1989 and really liked their staff in the produce, cheese department and butcher. Seeing as they tried to correct the problem I know feel they deserve the 1 star I was originally forced to give them. read more

The Starbucks and their employees are absolutely fantastic and the only reason I will ever come here again. On the other hand, the wait for Money Services is always so f**king long!!!!!!!!!!!! I come here at the beginning of the month every month to get my money order for my rent and I swear to god I am always in line for at least 45 minutes. Even if there's only one or two people in front of me. They should really put two people on the register for the first few days of the month for Christ sakes. When I come here for groceries and proceed to the self check out line, the staff always eyes me down like I'm stealing my handful of Oreos and toilet paper. (Which I Always pay for, by the way.) unacceptable and Rude. read more

Change your hours online kind of annoying to drive here instead of Walmart which is closer only to find out it's not actually open

It's like Christmas when my owner comes home from Kroger. I just jump right into those oh-so-fun plastic bags and start sniffin' around. Besides the plastic bags, Kroger has things specifically for yours-truly. Owner got me delicious Pounce treats (oh how they make me salivate) and some furry, fake mice toys that fit purrrrrrfectly in my mouth. Those mice are officially my new favorite accessories and I proudly carry them everywhere around the house. read more

First we were followed around the store by one of the employees he was wearing a grey shirt which makes me think he was a manger there or something , we're black by the way. Second of all I personally went there for batteries but one of my friends wanted to drink later that night but the attendant her name was Scarlet or something insisted on get all of our IDs yet my friend was the one getting the wine and none of us brought our IDs seeing as we weren't planning on getting anything that required IDs. This was my first time going on a Kroger run because Walmart was closed and to be treated like this is totally unacceptable and they need to do better, as for I definitely will be sticking to Walmart, being followed and treated like some criminal is not something I want to deal with when I go shopping. read more

This Kroger is officially dead to me. I will drive to either of the other two locations in Denton if I have to. This one is dirty and the parking lot is a nightmare. The deal breaker for me is that they like to store the shopping carts in the walkway outside. Especially when it is busy, all the shopping carts will be gone from the inside area in the front, and the walkway outside will be full of them. What's awesome about this is that the parking lot is really busy, and if the walkways are full of shopping carts, it forces you to walk in traffic. Which is EXTRA awesome when you've got your baby. The few times I've asked for help, people have openly told me that they didn't know where things were located, nor did they seek additional help. I just really hate coming here, so I'm not going to anymore. Yeesh. read more

They close down the main entrances at 8PM and funnel customers to the smaller middle entrance. Whats the problem with that you ask? Where the heck are the shopping carts? Oh yeah, they are all outside (was already in when I figured this out, if I had to walk back outside I was just going to leave all together) or in the locked up entrances. I ended up just buying what I could carry. Needed more stuff, but only have two hands. Local Kroger management, if you're reading this: If you need to shut down entrances at night, that's fine. But 8PM seems a little early for that. And please figure out an easy way for customers to grab carts when you do funnel us to the middle. Thanks. read more

This store just just SUCKS!! Always out of most popular grocery items..... do they do inventory, check out what items sale... really??? The manager needs to Get On the Ball and walk around the store and check it out.. or do his JOB! Really a grocery store manager is getting away with this basic job rule... is corporate Kroger this backwards and out of touch...!!???? This store manager SUCKS read more

This place needs to do a better job with masks, social distancing during covid. At least close down some of the self check out lanes, literally have people 2-3 feet apart. Other Kroger's do a much better job. read more

I've been shopping here for over 20 years, and 20 years ago it was actually much cleaner and organized. Lately, every time I come here I walk out disappointed and frustrated. Why are half the self check lanes always closed? Why are there only ever one or two cashiers on duty? Why are half the front doors always locked? This store is dirty, smelly, disorganized, and I get the distinct impression no one cares. And yet, their prices keep going up. I generally try to avoid this store, but unfortunately it is practically the only one on my side of town. I try to be a positive person, but I am forced to agree with the other negative reviews posted here. The management needs to be replaced with someone who will whip this place into shape. read more

Fasten your seat belt, this is going to be a bumpy ride. As far as the overall store goes it's perfectly fine, very average grocery store but good Lord that pharmacy. TLDR: The Kroger pharmacy is where competence and customer service go to die. My family has been using this Kroger for our prescriptions for years without any problem until the last couple of months. I have no idea what happened but it turned picking up prescriptions into one of the worst parts of my week. We went from being greeted by a friendly staff that knew who we are and were kind and courteous to what seemed like an entirely new staff of people who 1. Had no clue what they were doing in the slightest and 2. Would rather have their fingernails ripped off then be talking to you right now. Other than just every single week being a slow and rotten experience other mishaps include but are not limited to not filling a prescription that was called in (several times) Sending a prescription to be filled at the wrong store, asking for a necessary documentation that no one would have on them and isn't required to fill the prescription, having employees doing absolutely nothing stare you in the face while they hang out in the back and you wait in line, and so much more With so many choices of places to take your prescriptions to do not take them here. I hear Walgreens delivers, try there instead. read more

Positives: It's close to my house. Negatives: I go out of my way to go to the other side of town to go to the Kroger on 288 because this is a pretty ratty Kroger. The parking lot is terrible.

And now they've added a new row of self checkout but they always have it closed. read more

A little dumpy and very pricey. It is like a mix between Wal-Mart and the southeast's Publix. Or it can be compared to the northeast's Tops.
