Super friendly customer service, but limited selections of beer. Quick and easy street parking though.

I was running in for a few things and I noticed they carry local produce. Fresh tomatoes, cukes,…read moregreen peppers to name a few. None of these were on my list, but couldn't resist to buy a few of each! The store is clean, well stocked and the staff are friendly.

See, I only come here once a year - usually on a Wednesday night in May or June between the hours of 9p and 10:45p - and we pick up right where we left off. This Hannaford is ALWAYS spotlessly clean; the employees - regardless that I'm there minutes before closing - are always accommodating, patient, and friendly; the abundance of beautiful produce is always impressive; it seems easier to navigate than other grocery stores of the same name; the other customers seem pleasant (and not like they're intentionally aiming for your with their carts); and, somehow, this magical land carries items I've never seen elsewhere... what are these cheeses? These dips? These lovely snacks in the organic section? And why can't I find them ANYWHERE but here?!?! (Side note: Listen, Gorham Hannaford, even though you're currently carrying the sexiest hummus I've ever had in my life [yes, hummus can be sexy] - Zesty Sriracha Carrot Hummus by Eat Well, Embrace Life - I can't come all the way out here just to buy some. Don't tempt me like that. Besides, that would be breaking the rules of our relationship.) The point? This is - without a doubt - one of the best three Hannaford's in Maine. In conclusion, I leave you with this (as if this couldn't get any weirder, right?): George (Hannaford): "You always could see through me, couldn't you?" Doris (Me): "But that's okay, because... I've always loved what I've seen."

We stocked up on groceries and various supplies at this Walmart in Scarborough, Maine. A group of…read moreus rented an Airbnb house in Pine Point about 8 miles (15-20 minutes driving) away. Our house had a fire pit and we needed a cooler for a fishing trip. Originally, we planned to go Dick's and a grocery store for what we needed. However, we saw this Walmart on the way to Dick's and stopped here instead. It proved to be a one-stop shop for everything we needed. On a Thursday around 5:30-6:15pm, this Walmart was comfortably busy. We ended up buying nearly $300 worth of food, drink, and supplies for 8 adults. I believe part of our group returned the following day for more food, drink, and supplies like ingredients to cook the fish we caught, breakfast food (bacon, eggs, French toast) and things like paper towels. One of our important purchases here was a 48-quart red Igloo cooler ($24.88) which we used to transport water, beer, sandwiches, and the fish we caught. We picked up a 3-hour fire log ($3.86) to help start our outdoor fire plus a couple boxes of firewood ($8.54 each). Some pieces of the firewood reminded us of "bad" pieces of construction wood (e.g., 2x4s) in the way they looked and were cut. This was my first time buying firewood at a Walmart. It burned pretty clean. One of the guys in our group specifically wanted Cara Cara navel oranges and we were able to find them here for $4.74 a bag. Decent quality. The food that was average quality at best were things like the Walmart-brand glazed donuts and cookies (chocolate chip, M&M's). A dozen donuts was only $3.97 per box. A box of cookies was $5.87. Good prices, but only OK quality. That's one of the tradeoffs of shopping at Walmart. Also, the selection wasn't great. A couple examples of items I couldn't find were Claussen sandwich pickles and Duke's Mayo. For the latter, I ended up going with a bottle of Kraft mayonnaise ($3.98). We got fresh-sliced meat at the deli: $15 worth of ham and $18.49 worth of black pepper turkey. A couple bags of sliced sourdough bread was $3.98 per bag. A bag of everything bagels, $3.74. Slices of cheese for our sandwiches, $6.49. Philly cream cheese for our bagels, $5.84. We got lots of beer, soda, and bottled water. I noticed we were dinged with various "ME deposits" (Maine deposits?) for each pack of drinks. For example, we were dinged $1.20 for a 24-pack of Michelob Ultra ($21.27). I was dinged 5 cents for a single bottle of Diet Pepsi ($2.38) from one of the checkout lane fridges. A bag of "Mega" Oreo cookies was $5.68. We got a bag of double-stuffed too ($5.98). I think most of us preferred the Mega Oreos, the Oreo variety with the most cream filling. My favorite coffee creamer, Silk Almond Creamer Sweet and Creamy flavor, was only $4.90 here. That's roughly what I normally pay in Georgia and North Carolina, but on the low end of a non-sale price. Walmart generally does have the lowest prices around on most products. Unlike where I live in the South, where there are free plastic bags at Walmart, Target, Publix, Kroger, Harris Teeter, etc., we had to pay for bags here. I assume it's a State of Maine thing. The "wide bags" were $1.48 each. We needed at least a few to haul everything back to the house. They were decent-quality bags, similar to tote bags. They were useful for our fishing trip to transport snacks. We got chips (e.g., Kettle Chips at $3.94 and $4.98 per bag). Dramamine ($4.32) was also useful for our fishing trip: https://www.yelp.com/biz/noreaster-deep-sea-fishing-kennebunkport. Produce quality was fine (e.g., the aforementioned oranges, iceberg lettuce head for $1.98, bananas for $0.58 per pound, and a two-pack of beef tomatoes for $2.98). Service was good. We had to ask for assistance to get one of the coolers since they were stacked high up, out of reach. We covered almost the entirety of this Walmart, from the deli to the sports & outdoors section.

I used to LOVE Walmart pickup. It made life convenient and saved me money, because I'm an impulse…read moreshopper. Now... 20-45 minimum wait times for pick up orders. Today for instance, I let them know I was on my way and I still waited for 25 minutes and there were only two cars there when I got there. Last time I came I waited 45 minutes and they forgot part of my order so I had to wait an additional 15 minutes for them to go get the rest of my order. That order only had four items I could have definitely shopped it faster. The staff is always super friendly, but I don't know what has happened recently to make the wait times so much longer than they used to be.

All sorts of delicious, sometimes exotic melons for $2 a piece, and sometimes 2 for $3 Also, sometimes there are organic deals as well! You never know what you'll get at Papa's, but if you are cooking for a family and run through fresh fruits and vegetables at a rapid pace, Papa's is THE PLACE for you!

I love getting my fruit from Papa's Produce. I try to come every other week and stock up on berries…read morefor my kid who lives on berries. I am always delighted by the other things on offer- a big package of Chinese eggplant, a carrot the size of my head, my favorite local lettuce at 1/3 the price. The selection varies and you don't know what they will have, but I never walk away empty handed. The fruit is always at the peak of ripeness so you can't store it for too long.
