    Wegmans at 100 Wegmans Way in Charlottesville is an outstanding grocery store and easily one of the…read morebest in the area. Its location right next to Planet Fitness makes it incredibly convenient for a post-workout stop, whether you are grabbing something quick and healthy or planning meals for the week. Finishing a workout and walking into Wegmans feels like a reward in itself. The fresh foods section is excellent, with a wide variety of prepared meals, fresh produce, bakery items, and ready-to-eat options that make it easy to eat well without a lot of effort. The dine-in area is clean, spacious, and comfortable, perfect for sitting down with a quick meal or coffee instead of rushing out the door. This is a large footprint store, but it is well laid out and inviting, which turns a regular grocery run into more of an experience. There is so much to explore that it genuinely makes grocery shopping feel like a bit of an adventure rather than a chore. Between the convenience, quality, and overall atmosphere, this Wegmans is a standout and a place I actually enjoy going back to.

    I love this Wegmans! I typically get something from the sandwich counter and the workers are always…read moresuper friendly. They go above and beyond to help out - last time, the worker even gave me a see-through container for my sandwich since I had mentioned I would be taking it on an airplane and she wanted to make my trip through TSA smoother. It's usually pretty busy inside, but there's always a lot to see and it never feels too hectic, so it's one of my favorite places to stop by when I can.

    Another visit to our local Food Lion…read more Pre-Independence Day, the store is running some great specials on holiday essentials -- large seedless watermelons for $2.49, corn on the cob (4 for $1), and Turkey Hill ice cream (2 for $6). All were in stock and looking good. We were less successful in finding some items from our shopping list. I needed some specific produce items for recipes that weren't on the shelves -- eggplants, mung bean sprouts, scallions -- though they often carry them. While the latter two items were not in stock, we got exceptional service from a young man who was stocking items in the produce section. He ran back-and-forth to the back, with a smile on his face, to see if any of these items were there, waiting to be put out on the shelves. He found eggplants for us, and also an estimate for when the other items would be coming in. We love that this Food Lion is now selling fresh organic herbs -- basil, cilantro, mint, rosemary, and more -- that are still in small pots with dirt. We purchased a mint one for $3.49, which provides a larger quantity of fresh product than the small amount in the plastic containers. We also wanted to buy a basil one but many of the basil leaves were shriveled and dry so we opted for one of the small plastic containers. I also needed some specialty items -- and was unsuccessful in finding coriander seeds, star anise, and rice vermicelli noodles. The latter seemed to be sold there but were out-of-stock. Sigh, I've just had to order these three items online from a large retailer. A final note. We had a pleasant check-out experience. The line was short, the cashier was VERY friendly and efficient, and our bill was correct.

    Placed an online catering order. Arrived at the prearranged time to pick up the order and there was…read morea mistake. The catering team missed seeing and fulfilling the order! Party was in two hours and the team jumped into action. Not only did they make the entire order in one hour but the manager personally delivered everything to our home in time for the party!! Thank you to Dereck and the entire deli team for helping us out!!

    For some weird reason when I'm away in middle of nowhere and in need something ASAP...there seems…read moreto be a Walmart in every corner... Was in the mood for sodas and munchies... And I was staying at this weird comfort inn...which was actually really uncomfortable... located in the middle of nowhere... There was this evil restaurant across from my hotel...but there food was disgusting... So pretty much drive all the way to town In search of somewhere to pack munchies and sodas ...there's a huge parking lot... Wasn't as many people working there like the usually Walmart's Iv been to...but it will do...clean lots of space... Got a six pack of cola and popcorn...after I got munchies...I walked around and just view random products ...I didn't stay longer then half an hour,..usually it takes more then half an hour to get out of Walmart...not that many people were shopping here ....so no lines!

    Yesterday, May 6, 2026, I went into Walmart Farmville, VA store to return new GPS which quit…read moreworking. Exchange went fine. I wanted to replace the same model GPS so I was sent back to "Electronics" for the item. I arrived and NO ONE was around so I pressed the 'button' for assistance. I waited...the button cleared itself, so I pressed it again and AGAIN it 'told me' "an associate is on the way." It went off (w/time) again. An employee came past PUSHING ONE OF THOSE DAMNED CARTS FOR SHOPPERS TOO LAZY TO SHOP THEMSELVES, and I asked her if she could help me. although I explained to him it was not an "exchange" since I already had returned the other GPS I only needed to have him open a case for me to get a replacement. He told me he didn't have a key...he could not help me. Another employee came past, in Electronics, and I asked her, but she told me she was "clocking in: and would tell someone? I was waiting. I saw a salesman and asked him for help and he told me "I do not do exchanges," although I EXPLAINED to him that Another customer (a man) came and I told him I had pressed the button twice w/out any response so he said," then I'll press it a third time." We both WAITED and the machine went OFF again and even a FOURTH time it went off and cleared itself. I finally (after about 20+ minutes) went up to the front and requested the manager. I waited for her, then told her that there were 2 customers waiting for a long time for assistance to purchase from Electronics. She asked me to wait, and I did for a couple of minutes but then told her I was going back and had better see a salesperson. When I got back to Electronics a saleswoman was wafting on a man (a man I had not seen, and I imagine that the man who had been waiting w/me LEFT) and I told her that I had been there first...she told me I'd have to WAIT and then the older man (who told me he could not "exchange") began to reprimand me for complaining to the saleswoman ....he was quite upset that I was complaining to her. FINALLY after the saleswoman decided to give me an answer, she told me that GPS were no longer sold in Electronics..."go to Automotive..." So, I go off to Automotive...began to SEEK a salesperson...NONE to find, so I asked a stock person in the back, behind the doors, if he could find me a person to unlock the GPS cabinet...he called on his WM phone...so I went back to the locked case and WAITED AGAIN...NO ONE CAME ...SO I WALKED BACK TO THE STOCK DOORS AND SAW THE SAME MAN AND ASKED HIM AGAIN to find me SOMEONE to open the locked cabinet and sell me a GPS!!!! He went off and never returned, so after WAITING MORE TIME, I went back to Automotive (the desk) and saw the man I'd asked to find someone...he was hanging there at the desk and the other man was on the phone...I was told, by the 'stockman' that the man was on the phone and I'd have to WAIT...I was in that store for OVER AN HOUR and I never could get anyone to open the damned cabinet so I could purchase the GPS. I tried today NUMEROUS times to call and request the item to be p/u but with all the calls, to Operator, to Automotive, and finally to Pharmacy I NEVER got a person! The store, in Farmville, DOES NOT ANSWER ITS PHONE!!!!!! i KEP A RECORD OF THE CALLS AND HOW LONG IT WAS BEFORE THE PHONE TOLD ME THEY WERE BUSY AND CUT THE CALLS OFF!!! i have had this same PROBLEM with this same Farmville store in the past and complained to Corp before...they DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE! I wanted the item, and was prepared to spend/buy more, but I am seriously considering NEVER going into that store again. And this accommodating the LAZY people who refuse to shop themselves, with employees up and down isles, blocking isles or parking their carts in the middle of the isles that customers who do shop themselves must weave around them and/or ask them to MOVE and then carrying their purchases to their cars; allocating an entire row of spaces for the 2 or 3 Pick up customers and then those of us who are handicapped must park far away...let them park at the rear of the lot since they aren't walking anyway. I am beginning to question if this is legal...if I am not suffering the prejudice of Walmart favoring the lazy shopper, the "pick-up" shopper over a handicapped shopper or any other shoppers....and I will tell you that I hear other seniors complain about exactly the same problem w/the pick up and the employees pushing carts around instead of assisting IN STORE customers to buy and to check out!!!! I will be posting this to ALL my friends everywhere and on FB...this has got to STOP! Perhaps the Federal Govt would be interested to learn of this bias on the part of Walmart! I am certainly ready to contact my representatives, the Office of the Aging, and the organization which protects against unfair advantages. SINCE I MUST POST A STAR REATING IT IS 1 BUT IF IT WAS TRUE RATING IT WOULD BE MINUS 10 OUT OF 10!!!
