Kroger

This Kroger on State of Franklin near ETSU is much better after the recent remodel.
The grocery store has a deli, fresh baked goods, seafood and meat department and 24 hour pharmacy. Selection is broad and prices are fairly good across the board. There are always specials in the meat department so if you are a meat eater it is a good place to find meats for dinner or your crock pot creation.
I would rate the produce section as very good — well stocked and attractive displays. There are plenty of selections although lacking in broad locally grown selections even in the peak summer time, There are a good variety of organic options as well although based on the press on what organic means I have my doubts on the added quality of some organic labeled produce so do your research.
You have to sign up for the Kroger Plus card to get the deals offered in the store. They provide one for your key ring which is convenient. Just don’t forget to have it scanned or you will pay substantially more. You get Kroger credit points for each dollar spent which you can use for your next gas fill-​up at the Kroger gas pumps across the parking lot or many Shell stations around town. You need 100 points for 10 cents off a gallon and they only last for a month so you have to use them as you get them.
Overall a nice place to shop that is well stocked and has good weekly specials.

Totally fine as far as grocery stores goes this is a step up above most, pretty good produce area pretty good deli and meats get a good selection of higher end stuff too, there is also a Starbucks inside the place which never hurts

Ehh, a decent Kroger.
The one back home is a little larger and therefore isn’t so cramped in the isles.
The main disappointment is the poor manager’s special meat selection. It’s hardly noticeable. ff
Also every time I have been, there has been crazy lines due to only one being open excluding self-​checkout.
One bonus is the good selection of organic fruits and vegetables at decent prices.
And there is a pitiful cheese variety. Only one or two low fat choices and one fat free choice, this is very irritating having to go across the street to Earth Fare just to get my cheese…

I couldnt ask for a better store so close to me. Great prices on just about everything. Excellent seafood department. I feel so comfortable in this store. The staff is always friendly and chatty, which I appreciate. Pretty decent sized produce section, which I love. You can always find deals in this store.

First of all the lay out is very confusing. I had to ask customers for help. But the worst part was I did not know specials were tied to the Kroger card; no card, no special. I was surptrised my bill eas so high and commented at the check out. No one offered me a form to fill out to get a card. When I checked the bill later and saw I paid full price I called the manager. They refused to change the amount on my credit card bill without me coming in. I do not understand since all the information was in the thier computer and I had just been in the store. Unhelpful people and too high prices! Will not be back.

It may be boring, but it’s a necessary weekly outing, so it’s important to Wifey and me. Kroger Grocery Store, one of two in JC, this is the newer one. This one is our go-​to store. It’s right next to ETSU and the hospitals. They have a gas discount loyalty-​card program that keeps me coming back because of the convenience of using it. This store is really clean, but the parking lot is getting to be a bit of a mess lately because of the other successful stores next to it. Produce, Deli, Bakery, Dairy, Canned goods, small florist kiosk, pharmacy, cold beer, frozen everything, they have all that. There’s a growing organic and hippie-​food section. The meat dept is solid, but they don’t cut much meat on site. You won’t have luck getting brisket year round, capons ever, tri-​tip, or anything out of the very ordinary. They do get some good seafood on occasion and the store-​brand items are really high quality. They have services like check cashing, Western Union, etc. Some books and magazines, this store is good about keeping plenty of checkout lanes open during peak hours. You can come and shop in the middle of the night, but you’ll have to use the self checker-​outer lanes.
