Kroger

Super nice customer service. This store has way more variety than our Villa Rica Ga location.

Self service check outs are always fairly quick even when it is crowded. They have a great natural foods section and bulk bins which I love, the only complaint is parking on the weekend is ridiculous!

This review is for the wine shop here. From out of town I needed to bring some things for dinner at a friends. I stopped by here for snacks thinking I’d go find an“proper” wine shop. But they have an awesome selection and Greg was right on with the suggestion he made. And it turns out that my hosts have been going to him for sometime now.
If I lived in Athens, this would be the only place I would get my adult beverages! Go see him!!!

My favorite Kroger location – the biggest store, I think, and fairly clean. Pretty good prices and decent selection.

I’m updating my review of Kroger after learning that their stockholders refused to meet with the people who pick the vegetables about the Fair Food Program. At the moment Kroger is paying one penny per pound of tomatoes picked. That is too low! It is close to slavery. Even Walmart has signed on to help these workers.

The best of the Kroger stores in Athens for people that shop late at night. They quickly help you at the self checkout without you having to hunt someone down.

Why couldn’t this Kroger have been this nice while I was at UGA?!
They have completely redone the entire store — no longer are there cramped aisles, ugly produce upon entering, nor rude employees who purposely avoid eye contact. Now there is space! A hot bar! A fancy deli and sushi station! I wish they had done this remodel five years ago when I could have enjoyed it.
Even so, a friend and I ventured in to pick up some last minute tailgating supplies before a Saturday football game and were amazed at how easily we moved around the store and how friendly the employees were. Everyone we passed provided a smile, a wave, or the occasional Go Dawgs! All of the items we needed were in stock and easily found on the shelves.
Check-​out time was a breeze and the lines were pretty manageable. The managers were out helping direct the flow of traffic and made sure everyone was well taken care of. The parking lot is huge so it was easy to find a space and leave with our purchases in tow. Glad this Kroger listened to all of the feedback it received and made a positive change!

While the selection is great and their beer/​wine section is stocked the parking is a nightmare and the staff is 50/​50, some being very friendly while others acting bothered by having a job. Its also college student misery during the school year, packs of students at a time wandering/​texting/​chatting blocking aisles. Not the stores fault but with the expansion they should have rethought parking and design.

Awesome location when I literally have ZERO food and am starving to death. It’s a quick drive to the grocery store and I’m set! Unlike typical Krogers, this one, unsurprisingly, is set up to cater to the college student… It seems that I always see gigantic aisles full of candy.
Coming here on Monday nights is a terrrrrible idea, especially if you’re in a rush. I swear everyone in Athens shops then and waiting to pay seriously takes forever.
As Annie L. says, they do tell you how much you’ve saved, but the last time the cashier dude said that to me, he told me I saved a grand total of (OMG!) 10 cents. Really? Maybe you should’ve skipped that part!

By far my favorite Kroger.
Wait until 5pm ish and after, they discount (usually 50%) on their bread selections. I love love love their garlic mini loaf.
Usually free cookies too. But not all the time.
Their wine selection is pretty awesome, there’s an entire aisle dedicated for brews and vino. Check the «bottom shelf» stuff, you can snag a couple of good deals.
I also like how they carry Terrapin brews. AND how they have the «you have saved _​_​_​_​_​$$$ today» at checkout. Might be some marketing scheme but hey! I’m all for it.
