Lowest prices on food anywhere! That's what matters most! People are friendly. It's a very busy store for a reason! To the person further down leaving a review on this store, complaining about a mart cart... Look, ditch the mart cart, okay? Get someone to do the shopping for you next time. Don't diss a store because the mart cart has uncharged batteries. Not many people use these things anyways... read more

Absolutely frustrating store with no on-line support. If I want to buy a product, there is no way on-line to find out if the store even stocks the product. I shop at Bedford Market Basket and Hannaford and now find that Hannaford's prices for the same items are lower. Once in the store, you can't price check - there is NO cell service until you exit the store - can't even receive texts from home with updates to shopping list. Eggs, milk, jelly, yogurt, blueberries, avacados - all more expensive than Hannaford's every day price AND next day or expired use by dates. I now only purchase 3 items at Market Basket that Hannaford does not carry and then only when they are in the weekly printed sale flyer. Then there is the continual push to make sure shelves are fully stocked with items located in spaces they never were before. Employees are great - management and store policies are beyond terrible. read more

I have gotten various bad meats, moldy berries, etc. Went to buy this yogurt yesterday. Check the date. It expired exactly two months ago. There were some in there dated for May as well. Not the first time I have seen this, but this is the most egregious example. read more

Market Basket - Expired yogurt in the case yesterday, front and center - 2 MONTHS old. - Grocery Near Me - Bedford, New Hampshire

Market Basket itself is fine. It's just the other people that shop there make me crazy. The ambiance is straight chaos. You really have to put on your patience hat, and practice deep breathing exercises as you navigate the store. Maybe avoid peak hours, but then again, all hours seem to be peak hours. If you're having a good day and you feel like you can mentally handle it, you can go to the Market's Kitchen area and order one of their subs which are an AMAZING value. The steak and cheese is only $5.99 and it's really quite good. I also like their Italian. I would really just avoid lunch time though. I've seen the line pile up at noon and then suddenly two of the employees go on lunch break. I question that sort of planning, I mean they have to know when the busy time is, leaving their remaining 1-2 colleagues to deal with the angry mob. read more

MART CARTS ARE BAD HERE!!! They desperately need replacement batteries--does no one care?! It now takes me two or even three carts to finish ONE grocery shopping. I've mentioned it to them over and over, and they do nothing. If you need a riding cart, NEVER go here in the afternoon, because you'll have not a chance in H of getting a charged one. Even in the morning, it's gotten really bad. I went there just after 7:30 the other morning. The store had only been open for a half hour, but of the four rider carts available, only ONE was on green--which suggests that the batteries on the other three are so bad that even an overnight plug-in won't give them a full charge. BATTERIES WEAR OUT, PEOPLE. I prefer to shop at this store, because the prices are good and most of their people are great, but I it's gotten so hard to find a charged rider cart that I'm being forced to go elsewhere. read more

I shop at market basket in Bedford all the time I just went shopping yesterday on the 5th of July I noticed I had a few articles missing when I got home I talked to the manager Brian Savage because the woman behind the service desk was being very rude and mean I talked to Brian on the phone he told me come in and he would take care of everything and he was sorry about the way I was treated and then when I came to the store the other man behind the service counter lied and said I'm always in there trying to get money back on things when I was only in there one time this time very bad experience I'll never go in that store again that manager Brian is a very mean rude man I'm a 65 year old woman he had no respect told me one thing and then when I go to the store I show him the receipt and he gave me the fifth degree I'm going to hannaford's when I'm in that store and something happens the price is the wrong price they are very nice at hannaford's the manager should be fired he's a very mean man read more

The health department should be notified about this store - within the past few months, I haven't shopped there without SOMETHING that I've purchased being bad. This is mostly regarding the meat. It is absolutely infuriating to be paying their prices which have nearly DOUBLED and the quality has taken a nose dive. I've had to throw out several packages of meat which were purchased and OPENED FOR USE well before the sell-by date, and the meat was clearly rotten. I suspect that they are either not handling the meat properly or they are falsifying the dates on the packages. Produce has been equally questionable. When you're paying $3 a lb for grapes and you get them home to find out they are rotten in the middle, it's not only frustrating but unforgiveable. You know what? I don't even care if MB goes on strike or even goes out of business at this point. They are risking people's health with their lackadaisical attitude towards food safety and hopefully a lawsuit will give them the wake up call they need. I personally am reporting them to the NH DHS because they are going to kill somebody with their unacceptable food handling practices. read more

Just went to the Market Basket in Bedford and met a wonderful, friendly & engaging employee!! TONI is the BEST employee I ever met here!!! Good morning & have a great day, Wow!! She works in the bakery. It would be great to see her as a cashier. She could teach them how to interact with customers!! Great job TONI!! read more

Market Basket needs to train their employees concerning customer service! They are by far the worst as far as being friendly or nice. Shop for my elderly Mother. I separate all the groceries, mine & hers. Asked the bagger to tie the bags for the first order only. Of course, he tied all the bags. Groceries in wrong bags also. Bananas on the bottom of the bag with heavy things on top. It's incredible how poorly the groceries are bagged. I guess I'll have to start bagging my own groceries. I honestly don't think they care!! read more

This Bedford store has SOME of the rudest employees of any food store I have shopped. Specically, the meat/butcher department. This review is NOT based on one incident but many with different male and female employees. In one incident, my wife and I waited 5 minutes for assistance. Though employees in the back could see us through the glass none came out so I rang the bell. A heavy-set female came out and with a sarcastic voice asked "Who rang the bell"? Even after explaining her demeanor didn't change. My wife suggested moving on to avoid creating a scene. Recently I asked a meat person. a male with a hat and glasses a simple question. He responded with a negative tone. Then there is the female who stocks the butter in the morning. She is a grumpy and impatient person. I now avoid this store as much as I can. Note. Not all have bad attitudes. The deli people are very nice. Especially the blond. read more

If you have enough time to do a review on market basket you're probably a loser. It's an awesome store where one saves money. I tried to look up the deli menu and all these negative reviews came up. Does anyone understand how much food they have to put out a day? I'm a project manager for a general contracting company and yes I support MB. read more

I started shopping at Market Basket about 6 months ago. I was a Hannaford shopper before that. I decided to try it due to friends and family saying the prices were much lower! Well I will say they are! I will also say that Market Basket has the most diverse selection of all grocery items I have found! The Market Basket in Bedford NH is the nicest and cleanest MB I have found. The staff is very friendly, willing to help and knowledgable about products and the location of products. I am very big on organic produce and other grocery items. This is one of the issues I was concerned about switching from Hannaford to Market a basket . I will say I was pleasantly surprised! This market basket has a great selection of Organic Produce and other items! I am a very happy I gave Market a Basket a chance and would suggest you do the same! Happy Shopping! read more

For the first time ever, a crappy quality and cut of meat. Cut showing looked nice, looked like 2 steaks in each package. Nope wrong, they had wedged gristly pieces between 2 smaller steaks. Also large amounts of fat on under sides of each piece of " real" steak. Very disappointed. read more

This employees of this store must have been the inspiration for the show "Walking Dead". I've never seen more bitter people in one place. Even the rack jobbers have horrible attitudes. I almost never go there anymore, but went in today and used a debit card. When I tried to take out cash I was not prompted by the card terminal or the employee. When I asked about this the wonderful checkout lady said "I asked you if you wanted debit even". Must have missed that description in the thousands of transactions I've had in stores over the past decades. I when I said I wanted to take out cash, well that was the end of the world for the cashier. Good place to buy things like vinegar and white label toothpaste. That's about it. People so horrible it's not even worth going in there. It's like a black crowd. Nobody smiles until they walk out of their. read more

DO NOT BUY BEER FROM HERE. after sampling 3 varieties of microbrewed-IPAs, I found all of them had different colors than their counterparts from other stores. they also tasted like they sat out too long in the sun. aside from that it's like any other market basket, cheap, ok, and good for specific non-generic products (the king of cheap for that is Walmart) read more

Nothing but a good experience every time we go, which is practically weekly. It's always clean and staff are always friendly.

Basic grocery store. Staff is not all that friendly though. People act like they don't want to be there or come off royally pissed off and annoyed to put up with questions all the time. read more

Love MB, have since I was a kid going to the one in South Nashua when it was called DeMoulas. When the Bedford store came in I was so happy, have always supported it but I am still dumbfounded by the attitude of the employees, not sure I have ever seen it this bad in any of the many I have shopped. There is a little old guy that stocks the isles there and acts like you are bothering him. One time he saw me looking for something in an isle and was at least nice enough to ask what I needed. When he told me it was out of stock he proceeded to blame it on the US president... yes you heard that correctly LOL I was shocked, at that point I told him nicely, thank you for your help, I will need to move along as I hear politics all over, and just can't participate at the grocery store. As I walked down the isle he started to yell think what you want about a certain president, but he did a lot, then continued to get louder and more political until 2 of the young girls stocking in the isle turned to him and said stop. It was hard, but I turned away shook my head and did not respond. I sometimes regret not reporting it, but I let it go. Not sure what goes on in that store, but the managers and many of the full time employees are not friendly, and don't seem happy. read more

I'm so glad to see a company that takes an interest in our younger generation. Bedford market basket has a great group of young employees that are polite, helpful and present themselves well in a work environment. I shop here often and always impressed by these kids. Nice job M.B. read more

My wife and I moved to the area about 6 months ago and we were excited to switch over from Hannafords. First let me start up by saying we do like the store and we have shopped at Market Basket before, but the lack of communication and customer service skills that the employee's have at the Bedford NH location is mind boggling. We have decided that we would rather drive further and pay higher prices for friendlier service at Hannafords. Our most recent experience was on 1/6/20 at approximately 6:15pm, we went trough the register and felt awkward like we were bothering the two young employees and interrupting their personal conversation. No hello, how are you? Did you find everything that you were looking for? (We always get this from the people at Hannofords, young or older) The young cashier and bagger talked about how they didn't want to be there and discussed the dollar amounts of their paychecks. This type of thing happens at the cash register almost every time we go through the check out. Many times the only time we here the cashiers speak is when they hand you the receipt and say " Here you go" We get better customer service from the self check out at competitors stores. Market Basket it's time for a training program or maybe think about replacing these people with machines. I have friends that have worked for your company for many years and I know that they are treated well by Market Basket. Many of these young people employed by Bedford Market Basket lack the social skills needed for any type of customer customer interaction. read more

The one postive is this MB seems tidier than the one in Manchester. However,the bag people always seem to forget to put items in the actual bags. They just don't care. Had to drive 20 minutes back multiple times to complain about products paid for but not included in my bags.Also,many of the items ring up incorrectly, noone ever wants to check the prices. Lackluster,careless store. read more

You won't believe this: I was totally minding my own business, shopping for groceries at this Market Basket. I had never been to a market basket before and it was my first time there. A guy named Kenny from the sushi station OUT OF THE BLUE approaches me and says with an extremely unpleasant tone, "HEY, where are you from? What are you doing? You're from Hannaford, right?" In the middle of the bread isle with at least 5 other people around me. Everyone started looking at me as if I was stealing or doing something bad. I was COMPLETELY ridiculed and confused. Can you imagine going to a market and being asked by a staff why you're there, in the middle of a serious contemplation about which bread to get? I wasn't dressed weirdly or acting suspiciously either, and now I'm trying to figure out how I triggered that to happen. I talked to the manager (name withheld since I'm not trying to get him in trouble) and he just brushed it off as not a big deal. I will not be coming back to this market basket anymore. Oh and thanks to that, I forgot to buy bread. read more

I love Market Basket for the most part, however, they had a sign with a recipe on it for Basil Salad above the tomatoes, mozarella and basil section. It said "tomatoes, mozarella, olive oil, and basil"... It is missing the two most important ingredients! BALSAMIC VINEGAR and GARLIC!!! read more

Come here once a week and spend well over $300 a week, never complained! Purchased a head of lettuce, cut into it and there two died flies, really not too too much of a big deal as lettuce is grown out side! Also purchased an 18pack of Hershey's snack drinks..my kids went to have them and all the containers were sour and chunky! I called they were very friendly and told they wrote my name down and I could go to customer service and they would must certainly credit me! I go today, my name was never written and they refuse to credit to me due to not having the product! So unprofessional! I will be calling the health board!!! read more

I like the store! It is better then the manchester location! And they have more products in stock! I rather go here

I live equidistant between Hannaford and Market Basket. I have been complaining to corporate and to the store "managers" that their policy of allowing employees to smoke tobacco products at or near entrances to the store is not only unhealthy to customers who must pass through the smoke, but unhealthy to all concerned as well. They could not care less. I am not shopping at MB any longer. As shown when the employees went out on strike because they didn't like what management was doing, and they closed down the stores, costing customers and owners millions of dollars, we all know whom management cares about. Go ahead and smoke. I'm going to Hannafords. Can I make this a zero star? read more

Market Basket is the best supermarket I've been to in the Northeast. Having been stuck with Stop & Shop in the past, which is possibly the worst supermarket in the country. The prices here are great, it's clean and lots of helpful employees (almost too many). Only criticism, I wish they had better consistency with their pizza. It can be quite good but it seems to vary with who makes it. Sometimes it is way too thick and doughy. read more

I absolutely love it here! Everyone is so friendly and happy to serve you in anyway possible! The lines move very quickly as well! They also have handicapped assistance which I think is nice for those cant do everything by themselves. They have a wonderful prepared foods that you can buy and eat right on the spot! They have a beautiful cafe and great food stops such as a sushi bar, salad bar, sub/sandwich bar, and hot wings and chicken bar! They also give out free samples that are to die for! I most definitely recommend this to everyone! Especially large families on a tight budget or anyone who is looking to spend less and save their money! Their prices are the lowest and have so many different selections of everything. Their market basket brand tastes exactly like the big brand names and it saves you so much money! The store is also kept very clean and tidy and once you step in you will never want to leave! Overall I give this a 11 out of 10 that is how amazing it is for one stop shopping! read more

I am reiterating my 2 star review - Market Basket now actually carries an all natural deli meat choice but it is still priced higher than Hannaford. Quality of perishables leave something to be desired versus over what Hannaford provides. Although I keep close tabs on what Market Basket has through their circulars, I find that they are overall priced higher than Hannaford. To say the least, Manchester and Bedford NH could use some additional competition (the Nashua market is so much more competitive). Yes, I don't know if it is Market Basket increasing prices or Hannaford decreasing prices relative to wholesale inflation but that's what is happening. read more

I shop at this market basket and have for at least 2 years. The employees are always helpful. Great prices also. If I need a cold chicken they get it for me. If I happen to find something not right, the manager is always grateful for telling him or her. Old fashion service and a great variety of foods. Tough to beat. Thank you market basket!

12-19-17 the staff (not the teenagers who are generally very nice) is on way too much Prozac. I do not generally do much of the shopping, but had to run in and buy somethings my wife asked me to pick up. I went to the produce section and tried to find some Endive and Escarole for my tortoise, which is 12 years old. I also needed to pick up some items for salad. Holy cow, the Escarole and the Endive looked like it was shipped over from the rejects from Hannaford's out dated produce. Therefore, I had to rip off all the brown and broken pieces of Endive. I think some people would just pay for whatever MB has displayed. Please do not just accept the bad produce. You can take all the bad pieces off. You pay by the weight not by the piece of some produce, so take the best parts, they do not like it but it is your money. I went to the prepackaged salad section. Market Basket should be ashamed of what they consider fresh produce. We like the mixed greens salad. As I looked for the one my wife buys I found five bags, each one had brown soggy leaves. I looked in the boxed greens and found the same thing. I looked behind the ones they wanted me to buy and found 1 out of 6 boxes that was not squished or brown and had a use by date of 4 days. We had the salad with my wife's homemade Lasagna that night. It was bitter and sour but more dressing help make it better. I do not know if anyone has experienced the attention put in to the deli meats you order. My wife does her shopping, stops at the deli counter, picks up her number, and continues to shop. At the end of each aisle, she checks the numbers that are coming up and will go wait when her number is close. She orders shaved Turkey breast and Honey ham. When she gets home, I unload the groceries and put them away. I always check the deli meats and 4 weeks in a row the deli staff has cut the Turkey and Ham the way the attendant wanted to cut the deli meats. Not the way the deli meat was ordered. I understand it is just deli meat but when you pay $12 to $14 dollars for something, wouldn't you want it the way you ordered it. It is like ordering from Pizza 911. You never know what you are going to get until you get home. The BEST of the BEST On my way out, I stopped by the Bakery. Of course, there was no one at the counter. I waited patiently for a few minutes and a middle-aged woman showed up and said, "What do you need". I asked her if the bakery could combine two loaves of bread that are similar to the bread that is used to make Volcano bread, the type that you would than she interrupted me and told me I have never heard of that, let me ask my Manager. We went over to ask the bakery manager. The manager was stocking bread. The brain dead assistant said to the bakery manager "this guy wants Volcano bread". The manager turned and looked at me and said "NO". I said to her "I am looking for the type of bread similar to Artisan style bread" and she looked at me again and said "NO". I asked her how she could say "NO" if I have not finished asking my question. She looked at me and said "it doesn't matter we don't have it". I told her that her second grade education has served her well. All I wanted was to find out if they could combine two of the Artisan style breads so it would be one larger loaf. I make a Christmas sandwich with layers of cheese, Ham, Turkey, Salami, and in each layer of cheese and meat, I put a layer of salad with Italian dressing and wrap it up in the bag it comes in and put a brick on it overnight. This will let the sandwich blend. The next day it is a very tasty sandwich and my family enjoys it. It might not be for everyone but we like it. I watched made about 25 years ago on WMUR TV. I recall several years ago when one brother was being ousted by the other brother. The people of New England made a stand and would not tolerate this injustice by the mean brother to oust the good brother. The employees and the customers stayed away until the good brother won. That showed me the fortitude of the New England people and the honest concern they had for the than lingering Market Basket that we all patronized. We all kept eating why the turmoil of the Market Basket continued using different local grocery stores while we waited. When the problem was corrected, we all shopped at Market Basket and drove the store to an unprecedented level, now to 79 locations. We believe in justice and stood by the "so called" dispute with in Market Basket. It was a clear victory for the owners of Market Basket. We did accomplish one thing that was making the brothers very wealthy. This brings up the question, was there really a problem or did we just fall for deceptive practices and corporate greed? Are we treated as though we saved a store from impending doom? I do not think so. So next time you decide to go to Market Basket just think "I wonder what the wealthy owners are doing right now" are they sitting on their Yacht in the Bahamas or at one of their six mansion read more

Great prices however I'm going back to Hannafords if the next few trips there is not a more consistent organic selection.

The most features I've seen in a market basket, large amounts of registers compared to others, and almost always clean and well stocked. As always, prices are low for everything, and the staff are at very least polite. read more

If I could give no stars I would. I needed to pick up Italian bread for dinner on my way home from work, parked my car at 6:59 and must have gotten to the door right at 7 when they close. I figured I could quickly run in and out before the lines of people that had already done their shopping would be done checking out. I walked into the front door and as I looked up into the store a middle aged woman was standing at the door in her maroon jacket with her arm out stretched for me to stop. "We're closed" she said as people who had just finished purchasing their groceries walked past. I asked if I could just run in quickly, I only had to buy Italian bread to which she replied "No, you came in the out door." She then preceded to turn around and face the other way, completely ignoring me. As a place of business you would assume they would want to make money, but turning away a customer who has shopped at this Market Basket for quite some time and other Market Baskets before that was more important. I will now take the extra two minutes to get to Hannaford's. read more
