If I had wrote this review a month ago I would have given it 5 stars just because I wanted them to work out so bad. I grew up on Kroger and did a happy little dance when I found out this was a store full of Kroger brands. There have been a few items that are meh, but you will find that anywhere with personal taste comes into play. I believe the mantra that you have a good experience you will tell 3 people have a bad one and you will tell 10. I was telling everyone, even strangers in the parking lot, about this place because I wanted it to survive so bad. After my experience last weekend I won't ever be back to this store. This store is about 1/2 a mile away from an Aldi's so they have some competition, which would make me think service with a smile would be priority one. This store is new to the area with shorter not well advertised hours than the community has come to expect from our local stores who stay open until at least 9 or 10. Last Friday I went straight from work at 7:30 to the store about a mile away. I was in the store just long enough to get to the meat cooler and call my Husband (who has a new smoker and finally is exciting and willing to help prepare meals, I dare not have all and correct ingredients on hand to dissuade my new found help) to ask him the proper size chicken for our smoking experience. As I'm speaking to him a worker starts screaming at me from 3 aisles over , "Hey you, did you not hear the announcement or were you too busy with your little phone call, we are closed" I looked at my cell phone 7:52, then I look at the 20 other people still shopping. I even had to ask my husband later If I properly said goodbye or if heard the whole thing. I was dumb founded I turned went out the in door, got my cart quarter back, and kept walking telling the 5 people walking in not to bother, and proceeded straight to Aldi's. Still fuming I went back to see if I was in the wrong. I've been to this store 4 times since they opened and the crowds have definitely gotten smaller each time. On these 4 occasions I have never seen any posted hours. As I pulled up I stared for a good 3 minutes before I found what looked like hours. I had to get out of the car to read them. They were smushed up bubble letters in a translucent yellow, the only discernible number from far away was a 7 o'clock close on Sunday. Up close was a squatty 8 close through the week. I've been in customer service/patient care for years, and would get written up if I didn't smile at someone. I can't imagine if I spoke to someone this way. Of course I can't find any contact information to let the manager know in case this is the cause of their dwindling crowds. Maybe I'm the bad guy who was keeping her away from her hot Friday night date. Shame I really was excited about this place. One bad egg can ruin the whole dozen. Guess i'll save 1/2 mile of gas and go back to Aldi's, and Shunucks. read more
