Kroger

clean, we love getting a yummy muffin for breakfast, and my favorite part is watching my sons eyes light up if we hit it right in the morning and the fire fighters arrive to do their shopping, cause then he gets to see the truck and talk to real firefighters!

One thing that I really like about this Kroger in particular is that it has what is called the «scan, bag and go» system. What that system is to somebody who hasn’t seen it yet is where you can scan your purchase as you go through the store and bag your purchase up in either plastic bags provided by the store or in your own bags. The best part of the system is that it keeps a running total of your purchase, so if you’re on a tight budget, you can keep an eye on what you’ve spent in the store so far and it helps in that way too. The other thing that I like about the system is that you can go through the U scan’s instead of the regular check out line and save a bunch of time getting in and out of the store — which cuts the wait time in line to pay down a lot and it even allows you to do coupons as well. I wish that more people knew about this service, although the only drawback about it is that you have to be finished shopping by 10 PM, or you wind up paying the regular cashier a visit to have your purchase rang up.

This is my favorite Kroger! I could go to a different one but this one is my favorite. It’s never to busy where you feel like you can’t browse and take your time, the staff is very nice and helpful, and they always have a huge selection. The new kroger in Independence is just to big and hard to navigate. This Kroger is 100% the best kroger closest to me.

On 4 separate occasions I have either purchased an extremely expired item or found items on the shelf 2 weeks past expiration. I’ve never had this issue at any other Kroger. Granted, it’s always a good idea to check your expiration dates before purchasing, but you don’t expect that you should have to. You expect that a store is doing their job and keeping old, expired and potentially dangerous items off the shelves. I was about to buy a refrigerated (NOT frozen) chicken ravioli from the healthy section before I checked the expiration date and saw it expired one week previous. Its chicken! You can’t be selling those things… I also once bought a pomegranate fruit cup just to get home and find it was already fermented. 3 weeks later I went to purchase some cheese and saw it also had already expired and was much harder than the others of the same type which were soft and not expired. This Kroger is very clean and has nice clientele, but their ability to catch expired products is disconcerting to me and I don’t shop there anymore.

I wish the selection was a little better, just like the Marketplace in Newport. This Kroger gets the job done though and it is close to my house. The staff is always helpful and courteous. It is open 24hrs which comes in handy.

I’m a big fan of Kroger’s butcher section. The butchers on staff are usually helpful and can often give you good tips on cooking your meat. It’s Kroger’s also has a nice little organic section which comes in handy because the wife is Palio. It is always a clean store and just has a good feel to it. I’ve never bought Starbucks but there is a Starbucks in the store if its your thing.

This is an especially nice Kroger. Good deli with friendly staff, really nice salad bar. I don’t live in the area but would certainly visit if I happened to be driving through and needed to pick up something.
