Layout of the store was decent, and it hasn't been crowded the few times I've dropped in, so far. Consequently, the parking lot situation isn't as crazy as Whole Foods down the road.

Not my usual place to do my Supermarket shopping, but Whole Foods Market does carry some unique…read moreitems that I do incorporate into my diet. Like, for example, they have an extensive selection of kimchi offerings. I also appreciate finding brands like Primal in stock. But, as other Yelpers have already stated, the prices are considerably more expensive than items found in your "normal grocery store". One reason might be the small ARMY of staff they have working here. I arrived just after they opened at 8am this morning, EVERY aisle had at least two or three employees stocking shelves. Yeah, the store is nice & clean, but I imagine the higher prices on stock reflect that level of staffing. The parking lot can be a mini adventure to navigate, but I try to get here early to avoid too much hassle. And since Whole Foods in Avon is a 20 mile round trip for me, I only come here to shop occasionally.

Having an Amazon account pays off with additional discounts on sale items. They have the usual hot bar, foodstuffs, bakery, meat and seafood, produce and pantry items. Depending on when you come sometimes they run out of what you're looking for like specific breads, yogurt, etc. On specific days they also have additional discounts like buy one get one 50% off on sushi and they discount things coming close to expiration like cookies and salad kits. They also still give out free paper bags, even at self checkout.

Yeah, gross.. and to have this "display" right by the entrance in front of the filthy carts and ATM makes NO sense to me and in my opinion a health hazard. Putting dead and dying flowers on top of the unit is like putting glitter on crap... Y'all need to do better, or hire some better people who use more than 1 brain cell to come up with ideas...

Fun fact: Stop and Shop (in Rhode Island) was my first job as a teenager; it's come a long way…read moresince then. They now offer employee discount and a higher starting wage. This particular S&S is really new and high-tech looking. They have better self scan systems and handheld self scanners. I recommend using the self scanners to save on time; just make sure you have a stop and shop card. The self scan kioks were a little finicky but once you're used to it, it runs smoothly; they have security in place and alerts the employees of any issues. The employees at the self checkouts were very helpful. They still have the S&S card, you can easily sign up at the service desk or online, to get sale items. If you don't have a card, just ask the employee to scan one for you. The service provided by the other employees there on our recent trip was good; deli and seafood counters specifically. The aisles were organized and fully stocked; the prices were average to above average (it's no Aldi). My kids were very entertained by the robot roaming around! (And so were we) We surely didn't have that back in the early 2000's; we've come a long way with technology. Parking was plentiful and when we went (Friday evening) it was quiet. This has become my new favorite Stop and Shop!

This grocery chain is a little on the pricier side compared to its competition. However, it's…read moreclean, well stocked, and has a great prepared foods section. On the weekends, it gets busy. The produce was fresh; had the clementines and they were the sweetest. The meats counter had a unique selection to choose from. We had the Chinese sausages and they were delicious. I walked by the sushi section and the chef was rolling up fresh rolls right before lunch time. If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend their dollar chocolate pies, SO GOOD! Checkout: they have quite a few self checkouts available and an associate ready to assist. Bring your own bags or pay 10 cents per paper bag. Overall, it's a good spot to get some of your grocery needs.

But then you have all the personal touches that make it clear they have their local customer in mind. On the door, it lets you know they sell school supplies. They have a cooler with locally made Avery's soda. The area designation signs are handmade. They have frozen homemade food, including pizza! There's homemade bakery items and cooler goods, including fresh muesli. How cool is that? But even more amazing, the owner makes spices, including rubs and curry powder. You'll never find those exact items anywhere else! It's an amazing store, and the cashier was so friendly and fun to talk to. I'm jealous of what you have West Avon!

It's clean, spacious, has a robotic inventory machine, seems to be organized well, and staff seemed to enjoy their jobs. There is a small flower and plant section, bakery, deli, along with the usual pantry items. Perhaps it's because we went first thing on a weekend but I liked it! And I would rather purchase meat and seafood here than at a Stop and Shop. Sign up for the loyalty card and get those digital coupons. There are also the usual self checkout lanes, with the regular staffed lines. It's also located in a convenient complex with quite a few retail shops and a Panera. Most likely as the throngs of shoppers descend, the experience will degrade accordingly.

They also own Price Rite, which was a very affordable grocery store I used to go to in Rhode Island. This place reminded me of Publix in Florida. There were plenty of cash registers open and I love the self checkouts. The store was large and clean. The bakery section had baked fresh items. I loved the prepared foods section; the smell made me salivate. Pro tip: don't go there hungry. They had rotisserie chicken, prepared sides, sushi, and fresh produce. If you want to preorder a cake, download their app and schedule a pickup. I think the prices were comparable to other standard grocery stores nearby. Overall, a good market to get all your grocery shopping needs.

I know it's Avon, but prices here are outrageous. I was looking at the ground venison & elk,…read moreneither one had prices listed (on the product itself or anywhere around the fridge). So the counter person took them back up to the register to check the prices, they were in the $23 & $24 range for 14 ounces.

So, needless to say, I just wasn't interested in being fleeced, no thanks. I won't be returning.

This was before Christmas and they had a small Christmas tree up decorated with handmade ornaments from local artists; zip codes with bells and signs with the town names on it. I thought that was cute! I ordered a breakfast sandwich, coffee, and apple cider donuts. Those were delicious! They also have soup, pies, handmade soaps, honey, etc. If you can't make it inside, they do have a drive thru. There were a couple of small tables inside and outside. I am all for supportting local small businesses! Can't wait to go back.

The outside area had various plants. When I walked inside, it was spacious and a very organized store. They had jams, snacks, produce, pies, baked goods, etc. I was gretted by the friendly employees. On this visit, I purchased strawberry-rhubarb jam, cookies, an onion, and corn muffin. Those were all very fresh and tasty. Everything in the store was fresh looking. I saw the corn after but was already out the door so I'm looking forward to going back for that.
