Shaw’s

I have been shopping here for years, great customer service while checking out! Great quality products. Although we have other supermarkets close by, we chose shaws as it has better quality products, sure you might not find the most selection as one reviewer said, which I agree, but I think they strive in customer service rather than other supermarkets.

I only come here if I need something that another store is out of. It’s always dead so you can get in and out of there quickly, which is the only good thing about the place. The prices are too high and I’m amazed they’ve managed to stay in business with the nearby Hannaford and Market Basket.

Coming here is usually a last resort for me, especially since Hannaford is both right next door, and the other Hannaford location is much closer to me.
However, I wanted to write this review because of the great service I experienced in the meat section today. I wanted to buy some ground lamb, and after going to both Dover Hannaford shops, neither of which had any, I headed over to Shaw’s. They didn’t have any on display, however, the butcher offered to ground up some boneless lamb for me at no extra cost. I was really pleased to get such great service.

Insanely expensive, and they were price gouging during the whole Market Basket debacle. Selection sucks too. This place has no redeeming qualities, other than the fact that it’s always completely dead due to customers’ sticker shock! No clue how they’re still in business.

If you want to pay far more than you do for an identical product in Market Basket, then Shaw’s will love you. Hannaford is overpriced, but Shaws is out of sight! A total ripoff.

I do the bulk of my shopping here and for the most part, I am a pretty happy camper. The vegetable selection is usually great (I sometimes have a tough time getting cilantro for my Mexican meals and some hot peppers, but other than that, everything else is there all the time) and the other food offerings are plentiful as well. We’ve had the deli food and that has always been tasty.
One of the things I liked the BEST was the discount you could get at Irving gas station when you shopped here, but as of this month, that is going away! Total bummer since it was a HUGE incentive to come here.
Hannaford is right next door and the things I like better about them is they tend to have better vegetarian options as well as fresh oats, grains, fruits, nuts etc that you can dispense at whatever amounts you like. Their commitment to organic offerings also seems to be stronger there.
The workers at Shaws are all generally nice except for the fact that if I am with my boyfriend when I am shopping, we inevitably have to bag our groceries. I don’t know if they assume that because you have a guy with you, you will be fine, but that always irks us. It’s one of those things that I like to not have to deal with when I am spending a ton of money and it is also something I have become accustomed to not doing… I mean, I don’t bag my clothing when I am purchasing it from a store… Plus, they are usually much faster and more efficient at it.
But on the whole, Shaws is a good place to shop and it is clean, well lit and offers pretty much everything you need.

Great produce, meats, and its clean.

I am never coming here again. Hannefords is literally right next door and have cheaper prices. I just bought a pre-​made Greek salad from Shaws and all of the lettuce was brown and wilty. I went on a Sunday evening and there were only 2 registers open with super super long lines! Lame.
