Usually, most Seasons Corner Markets impress me. This one, not so much. For starters, the exterior looks more dreary than most locations.
Anyway, I was pressed for time and had to grab a quick lunch on Friday. Employees at a nearby Subway were slow as turtles, so I walked out of there and drove here, figuring I'd just settle for a pre-made, cold sandwich.
This location, which features the pink-overkill-themed Marylou's Coffee, is a bit more cramped inside than other locations. There is also only one bathroom, instead of two. I was a bit bummed that they did not have my favorite Arizona drink, so I settled for a Gatorade 'quart' (in actuality, really 28 oz., since they shrunk the bottle size). I also grabbed a chicken salad sandwich from the cooler, plus a Snickers bar.
I was a bit put off by the male cashier, who kept sneezing; hopefully, it was due to allergies, and not a cold.
Pulling out of this parking lot is a struggle, especially on a Friday, when traffic volume seems to be twice as bad as other weekdays. Killingly Street is busy enough, but this location is very close to on and off ramps to the highway (Route 6). Traffic was so heavy that I could not turn left, but instead, had to turn right, then pull into another parking lot to essentially make a U turn.
I started eating my sandwich as I drove back to a plumbing job in progress, and the sandwich was so stale I nearly (literally) choked on it. After I managed to finish the sandwich, I looked forward to the Snickers bar, and even that was on the stale side!
The only positive thing I can say about this location is that they have a Red Box DVD rental kiosk inside. read more
