Shaw’s

I don’t right reviews a lot but this store is horrible rude teenagers that work here not a good selection and very expensive if your going to go here I told you its horrible if you don’t want to listen experience it for yourself !

I had a very amazing experience in the floral dept of the store. This review is solely based on just the floral section. I met this wonderful women named Nancy, who helped me with my roses that I was preparing for my great-​grandmother and my mother. Anywho Nancy helped me get the best roses, and helped me style them up to make them look beautiful !
She kept saying «appearance is everything». So we continued to look through all the assorted wrapping paper and ribbons until I figured out what I wanted for each family member. She kept conversation the whole time asking how I was and everything, she continued to tell me about her life which she was pretty hilarious never a dull moment. Finally I chose the perfect combinations for each sets of roses and they came out beautiful. So beautiful I didn’t want to give them away. She was so nice, I kind of think she was the manager of that dept, if she wasn’t she should be the way she knew her stuff.
Thanks again Nancy!

Coming here is rough, it is so hectic. I live 2 minutes away and if I need to pick up a few things after work I go to Wholefoods, because I’d rather spend twice as much than stop in here. Often when I come here there are issues at the register, some times things come to a complete stop for a few minutes to 10 minutes at a time. I’m wondering if maybe management needs to help organize things to make this run smoother because in my vast experience here it is not sailing smoothly at all. I only come here once a week to do a big haul, I really wish they could get it together because I’d love to make this my main grocery store.
Don’t even get me started with the Deli. It is my personal ring of hell. I only get deli meats from the grab bag section because I have waited upwards of 15 minutes when there were maybe.2 other customers. My boyfriend waited 20 minutes to be helped and never was even gotten too! He had to give up and leave. Skip the deli section if you’d like to get out within 24 hours.

Clean, nice light, good deals. Only complaint is sometimes it takes a while to get service at the meat counter

This is really more of an observation than a review. Shaw’s is our families go to market. While shopping in the store yesterday I was asked by the manager, what could be done to make the store better. Just by being concerned about how to make the store better, the store looks good to me. Glad to have it in the neighborhood!

This store is a nightmare. The layout of the store creates chaos and the mindless, distracted women that shop there are the worst. I am clearly pregnant but I can’t tell you how many times in the past two weeks I nearly had at least 10 middle aged women run their carts into my baby bump! They are so selfish and clueless. Quality is really on a downtrend at the store as well. The parking lot is a raceway for impatient middle aged men who think 35 mph is a acceptable. I won’t be shopping here anymore for my sanity and the safety of my unborn twins.

Big store. Bigger than most supermarkets. D & D inside so you can’t go wrong there. Yes, its a little expensive, but food everywhere is expensive nowadays. The parking lot is big, but it can be a little tricky getting out because of the configuration.

The prepared food is amazing and I prefer it to any other grocery store in Cranston! The food has flavorful and the selection is always far from ordinary! I also find groceries at shaws that other places don’t carry… And most important to me, I don’t feel like I have to take out a second mortgage everytime I check out. :))

This location has come a long way and you can see it in most areas.
I can tell someone is working hard to keep up the produce section. I always find a good selection at this location.
Plenty of dry goods (grocery), meats, dairy and frozen foods to pick from. A small but nice bakery. Decent deli, with a prepared foods section.
CS desk offers lottery. Dunkin Donuts Satellite inside at this location. Plenty of parking.
My biggest disappointment is the checkout lines. They no longer offer self checkout which makes things worse. The express line is blocked by other stations making it difficult to see if open.
To make things worse, seeing management chatting with coworkers and not helping out to reduce lines is inexcusable in my opinion.
Copy your competitors, long lines, more workers to the front. I try to stay away during peak hours.
All in all I will keep going to this location if standards are kept.

Love Shaws but this location could step up their game quite a bit. The produce is hit or miss but usually a miss. I bought a Blood Orange to use as garnish for fancy drinks but there’s hardly any ‘blood’ in it.
The prices for meat replacement foods (vegetarian sausages) is a little high and they are out of stock at times… The same goes for the soymilk — high prices and out of stock. WF doesn’t carry my favorite brands of these items but Shaws does… So I’m especially annoyed when I have to make a second stop to buy brands that aren’t my first choice.
I’m always surprised that this location doesn’t try a little harder to capture some of the $ people take to Whole Foods across the street.
The employees are typically much more involved with one another than high service standards… But I think that’s pretty much the expected outcome as a trade off to mostly low prices with ample selection offerings.

This Shaws is huge. They have many items but the signage is quite accurate and helpful. Prices were not cheap but I did not thing they were artificially inflated. Today almost everything I bought (from vitamin water to bread) was on sale and the staff was helpful. Also there is plenty of parking. Finally the market was very clean, so two thumbs up for this Shaws.
One word to seniors. The Dunkin Donuts in the supermarket does not honor the senior discount so if you qualify, get your coffee across the way at the Dunkin Donuts near Whole Foods where they do give a 10% senior discount, then stop by Shaws to shop!

This was my first time ever inside of a Shaw’s and I was very impressed. I really like this grocery store, it had everything that I would need/​want and it had a lot of great deals, without having to sign up for a discount card. They had a big selection of fruits/​veggies, gluten free, organic and wide variety of meats, seafood to choose from.
They also had a big selection of non-​food items for those that didn’t want to go to another store to shop, which is great for those that hate going to more than one store.
I won’t be living in this area as of Sunday (I’m moving to Pawtucket), but will try to find a store just like this up there.
Would definitely come back to here, it’s clean, lots of space and easy to find everything.

Their produce here is absolutely horrible– I often see rotting fruits and veggies on their shelves. Their prices for a lot of stuff are actually higher than stop and shop and the quality does not justify it– you’re fine buying anything that’s pre-​packaged… I only tend to buy chicken here because its organic and a reasonable price but beware and bite carefully: I’ve found bone fragments in the organic boneless chicken breast on three separate occasions this year alone.
If you can afford whole foods, DO IT! much better quality

Pros: Huge supermarket = huge selection of groceries. Also, the only supermarket in the area (that I know of) which stays open till 10PM on Sunday nights.
Cons: Food is RIDICULOUSLY expensive. Like, more expensive than the Whole Foods right across the street. Their «sale» prices are more expensive than the retail price for the same goods at Stop & Shop (which is notoriously expensive, but NOTHING compared to the price-​gouging going on at Shaw’s)…

This is the only Shaws I really enjoy shopping at in Rhode Island, it is HUGE meaning it has everything I need, including a great Shop The World aisle. Also, the fact that Whole Foods is only across the street is a plus, oh and World of Wines is only a short distance away on Sockanosset Cross Road.
