I have heard great things about Price Chopper and wanted to finally try grocery shopping as I was in the Hopkinton-Milford area. This store sits in a large space, that all I remember as being nothing when I used to come out this way more often, years ago. It's located on West Main Street at the South Street intersection, just west of the I-495 Exit (exit 21B to W Main in Upton). In addition, there is a small mini-plaza right in the parking lot of this place with a few restaurants and a hair cutting place.
The store, Price Chopper, recently opened one of their "Market 32" stores in Sutton MA, which I stopped at last year. Since that new store was amazing, I thought, how great could the original Price Chopper be? Well, it's not as clean or modern as Market 32, but this location is still great and has some major perks for anyone in the area, and needing anything you'd find at any supermarket.
PROS:
1. Self Checkout. It's quick, fast and friendly
2. Friendly staff. The guy working at self checkout and the lady working in the paper goods aisles were both very friendly, helpful, and kind to me and the rest of the customers while I was at the store.
3. Starbucks. Everyone love's Starbucks and when there is one inside anywhere it's just a plus!
4. Clean and organized. Maybe not remodeled like the place in Sutton, but still somewhat renovated, clean, and always organized and well signed throughout.
5. 24 Hours. Rare quality to find and one of the only places in the area open 24 hours. If you are looking for anything late at night, this is the ONLY place open in the area (there aren't any 24 hours stores anywhere nearby, except this!).
6. Only grocery option in Hopkinton. Before this store opened, people living in Hopkinton
7. Checkout. Even though I'm dead set on going to self checkout anytime I can, the checkout lines here are barely ever long. They keep more than enough registers open and have things prepared, since the store gets quite busy. Good move to make, by Price Chopper. Some other grocery stores have so long and annoying lines and aren't ever prepared!
CONS:
I'm quite picky whenever I go anywhere, but to be completely honest, this place has NO downfalls. The only downfall (that really doesn't even count) is how mad I am that this is the closest Price Chopper to my house in Westwood!! (If anyone from this store or from corporate is reading this, PLEASE add more locations closer to me, in any of the Boston suburbs!)
In closing, great grocery store and perfect place for anyone living in / visiting Hopkinton or the surrounding area. 5 stars for Price Chopper! read more
