"I'm all lost in the supermarket" (The Clash)…read more A few weeks ago, when we walked into the Market 32 in the Bristol Commons shopping center for the first time, our shared reaction was "dang, this place is huge". When we walked in a second time just yesterday to pick up some Thanksgiving odds and ends, our reaction was the same. I just did some web surfing and learned that the Bristol Market 32 occupies 67,000 square feet as compared to the average U.S. supermarket that clocks in at around 40,000 square feet. So.....yes..... Bristol's Market 32 is around two thirds larger than your average supermarket. And their big square footage sure gives you plenty of reasons to enjoy your shopping experience here, Their corporate strategy was to replace the old and tired "Price Chopper" name with Market 32 as a modern rebranded store. The interior layout of the various departments is gorgeous and was designed to make you feel more like shopping in a Whole Foods or a Wegmans. Why the name "Market 32"? It's a nod to the company's founding year of 1932. As we walked through the store, we saw all sorts of the usual and unusual amenities like a food court, pharmacy, and catering services, big produce department, bakery, ethnic foods, prepared foods, cheese, seafood, meats, deli, and everything else. Most of our Thanksgiving shopping had already been accomplished, but we did pick up a pound of grapes, a box of dark coffee K Cups, a bottle of chocolate syrup, a bag of three rainbow peppers, a broccoli crown, a bag of carrots, a bag of celery, and a few bananas for around $23. We had a very enjoyable and leisurely experience here. The store is big enough that it never really felt crowded during our two visits, even the Saturday visit just five days before Thanksgiving.

ZERO stars if I could. WAAAAY overpriced…read more Also ***buyer BEWARE!! This place is still NOTORIOUS for the fake sale that doesn't ring up at the register. Check your receipts and see for yourself, the "discounts" don't apply unless you have 3 items or "online e coupon only" This places is the WORST. Stay far away.

I always go there to pick up their frozen Polish pierogies. They have the kind of fillings that you just can't get in the supermarkets.Most supermarkets only have the bland fillings like cheese and potato fillings, or onion and potato, certainly nothing special. Polonia has all of the homemade style special fillings found in a traditional Polish home. My personal favorite is kapusta (cabbage) and mushroom. They have a taste of everything available in their market, so in a sense it is a taste of Eastern Europe in Bristol. Check it out.

Polonia Polonia is just that store. Great variety of Polish food (meat, cheese even spices) at very affordable prices.

I was nice I wasn't rushed to order right when I came in. There were maybe 5 people ahead of me and I was still out in 15 minutes. They have a variety of meat and cheese options to build your own sandwich, Boars Head is available, plenty of chip and side options like pasta salad, and delicious cookies! I was excited to see all the cookie options as everything was baked fresh. Everyone working was super friendly and helpful and the market was well stocked and clean. I'd definitely come back for lunch during the week and on the weekend. It's a great place to stop by if you're hungry.

They always have great variety of most of the items I'm usually looking for. It's a well lit bright store with a large parking lot that's shared with a half dozen stores or more. Plenty of parking always. Average prices. The staff have been helpful the handful of times I've asked for help. They have pretty good hours. Open late. They don't close support early. Is close to just about anything else you may need or be looking for. It's centrally located. They also have a Starbucks in the same plaza parking lot that's within walking distance. Only a 1 minute walk. That's how close it is.
