Dillon Stores

When getting gas there is rarely a line and using the Dillion’s points makes the price for gas lower, also the Dillion’s gas rewards are much more rewarding than the Hyvee gas rewards programs. In the Dillion’s grocery store is well stocked with the exception of the meat department, which I find somewhat lacking. The store is clean and the employees are helpful, I have also never been in a long line at the register.

Best all around grocer in Lawrence.

This is probably the best of the Dillons, but then it is still Dillons. I only come here to rack up points for discounts on fuel, and then I only buy staple items that they cant screw up.
At least it is safe at night, right!

This is one of the better Dillons stores in town, it’s clean, well stocked, and rarely gets that busy. The floral department is awesome and they have a good selection of cheeses in their deli.

So, in comparison to their other store in town, it would warrant four stars, but I cannot, under any circumstances, see myself giving a giant supermarket chain like this anything more than three stars. Unless they carried alcohol.
But, this is Kansas. Missouri supermarkets carry alcohol, Kansas supermarkets do not.
This Dillons is *way* better than the one in my ‘hood. It’s also a lot cleane and has far less crack addicts and alcoholics milling the aisles and screaming at their children. But– I prefer my neighborhood to the one that this Dillons is located in, so there.
It is huge. It has aisles devoted to things like soda (or «pop» as most folks call it here) and don’t get me started on the entire aisles of crackers and cookies (yet, if you’re looking for specialty ethnic food, you’re SOL unless you consider La Choy suitable for Chinese food).
Needless to say, I had a major freakout in here moments after I I entered. I was overwhelmed by the cereal aisle. The processed meats aisle made me break out in hives.
BTW, If you realize by the time you’re leaving that you forgot something, you’re probably not going to go back in. At least, if you’re me and you hate supermarkets.
Dillons does nothing to alleviate my supermarket phobia and I would do anything to avoid it.

Having grown up in Kansas, I’ve been to all types of Dillon’s stores. From the tiny old ones to the new shiny ones like this one. As far as supermarkets go, this Dillon’s is awesome!
Note, this Dillon’s does not have a large selection of furniture like the one in Wichita at Central & Rock. However, it does sell some furniture and home-​ware items. It also has a Capitol Federal in it! My favorite little bank.
The people who work here are very nice. They often try to have conversations with me when I shop here. This is probably due to the fact that this Dillon’s is rarely crazy busy.
Due to the size of the store, they carry some harder to find products. I especially enjoy shopping in the organic section (many products are quite a bit cheaper than the beloved, but overpriced Merc) and the bulk section. I have yet to see a bulk section in other Dillon’s but it’s great to have!
They also have a very nice cheese section and even sell membrillo (quince paste). I’ve been waiting for that to go on sale forever…
I know that this store is considered to be on the edge of Lawrence but it provides a far more delightful experience than the other Dillon’s stores in town.
