Shaw’s

I was planning my 50^th Birthday party and was looking for a place to get my cake. I was going to order from a bakery my family has used for years but because of the holidays they were closed until the week i needed the cake. I had a picture of what I wanted and knew the shaw’s near my house had pretty cakes on display and the cupcakes were always really tasty. I went in and spoke to Pat who from the first time i knew i was in good hands!!! she came right around the counter and drew the shape on a napkin with frosting and said if that is what i am looking for she would be happy to decorate my 2 layer chocolate cake for me. when i went to pick it up yesterday she was so proud to show it to me as she should have been. It was perfect and exactly what i was looking for. she mentioned how she had tried a few times to get it perfect and she did. i had so many compliments on my cake last night and everyone was shocked to hear where i had bought it. the cake was delicious as well, people who don’t even eat sweets were having 2 – 3 pieces. i will be definitely be going back there again for my cakes and sure several of my guest will be as well! Thank you Pat it was beautiful!!!

Excellent selection, can’t top the whole card and gift section — which makes it easy to get birthday cards or gift cards (there’s also a mailbox right outside!) — there’s also a nice area for the seasonal items. You no longer have to meander to the back of the store! It’s right in the front!
There’s an entire section that has all the goodies for you vegan, non-​gluten, super healthy folks! I peruse this section for healthy go-​to snacks on the go. There’s also plenty room to browse and shop — no longer fighting to get through the isle!
The only issue I’ve had is that check-​out seems to take a while. I’m not sure why (I’ve only been here quiet early in the morning) but it’s kind and sweet ladies usually who help me out.
I can’t complain, it’s very nicely organized and clean; easy to find what you’re looking for; you just might have a little wait checking out.

I shop at this Shaw’s location on average 4 times a week. The staff is very friendly and what I really like is when the lines get long they open the necessary registers so you’re not waiting in line too long.

This the best Shaws, Very clean Fried Chicken is very tasty
the Deli people are very Nice one guy in particular is Funny.
Cashers are very professional fast…

Still my go to place for lunch meat, cheese and seltzer water.
I’m not a huge fan of their produce but it will do in a pinch (guess I’ve been spoiled during the summer months with 4 Town Farm so close by)
I have noticed lately that the deli workers seem overwhelmed. I’m guessing the usual corporate budget cuts have forced these guys to be understaffed. It’s too bad! I’ve seen many people just get frustrated and walk away.
The baggers are still always very nice.
Soooo glad I still have this option close by instead of going to the dreaded Stop N Plop!

Shaw’s has been my go to market since I can remember and I use to love it! Now I have decided after having numerous of bad experiences I will be taking my business to Stop & Shop and Whole Foods. The customer service at Shaw’s sucks! A majority of the employees are so miserable and rude!!! This morning I went to get something from the deli and the man behind the counter just stood there and stared at me not even asking «may I help you» then him and another employee started bickering in front of customers about lord knows what! The customer service has just declined and it’s sad! Oh another note… a few times I purchased items and they were expired or were expiring the next day! Now I make sure I check the expiration date on everything!

in a pinch i’ll go to shaws but I find Stop and Shop a little classier.

Shaw’s is one of the more updated supermarkerts in the area but their prices are sky high in comparison to the other markets. Overall not worth the prices you have to pay to shop.

Of all the grocery choices in and around Providence, this location of Shaw’s is the best. I am typically a Whole Foods shopper but I am a girl who likes variety and Shaw’s offers me that without the reduction in quality that I usually find at Stop and Shop. All the locations I have been to are always clean and only have fresh items out to sell to their customers. The staff is friendly and I like that Shaw’s often has the same brand of organic items that I find at Whole Foods, and the prices are usually comparable if not a little less.

I enjoy this Shaws. It’s modern looking, the produce is fresher than Stop & Shop across the street, and they have little cooking stations with food samples a lot of the time (at least on weekends).
Prices are comparable to any of the chain markets in the area, so there’s not much to argue about. Also, it’s clean, which is always nice.

Rebuilt and moved to the opposite end of the plaza that its original, dumpy counterpart was situated in, this is one of my favourite markets. Redesigned, modernized and completely restocked, the floor area is clean, the products well kept and customer service great. They carry everything from the typical Cheerios and Steak ‘Ums to a fabulous organic, «Whole Foods-​esque» section complete with munchies, ice cream and everything in between.
Their produce section is a little limited but more importantly, is clean, fresh and organized. I haven’t purchased a single wilting herb or head of lettuce since I started to shop here last summer. Generally the produce appears to last longer in my fridge than the comparable goods I grab at other markets which is always a plus when I’m pinching pennies. If anything, I just wish they had a larger area but overall the quality really makes up for the items they’re lacking. Their deli and seafood counters are also well chilled and clean while the customer service are also an A+ with helpful, very friendly associates. It’s nice to be treated to a smile sometimes, especially in this grey time of ruling, irritable frowns.
Their meats are fresh and reasonable. No spoilage or green hot dogs to be found. Their prices may seem a little higher than the norm but they constantly have low-​priced markdowns and frequent sales to make up for it. And if you still can’t find the deal you’re searching for, the location is prime with the new Stop and Shop up the street and a Price Right up 44. To make things even better, the old building the former Shaw’s currently haunts is on its way into becoming an all purpose, organic supermarket. Score!
With everything in one place, it’s convenient and simplified for me to run my weekend errands saving both gas and time.
Super secret shopping steal bonus: Do NOT just toss those coupons the machine prints at checkout. Mixed in the usual 50 cents off diapers & so forth, are extremely valuable discounts such as $ 10.00 off $ 75.00, $ 5.00 off $ 40.00. You’d be shocked at how many I find kickin around the self serve lanes from previous shoppers.
