Kroger

This is a beautiful Kroger. I loved walking in here and seeing all of the open space. As soon as you enter you are met with the lovely smell of the Starbucks Coffee located right in front of you. Then, to you left you see the well stocked and quite large floral department. Cheery blossoms and shiny balloons great you as you continue to move through the store. Next, you see the large wine and beer section to your left and the enormous meat and bread department on your right. It’s the largest meat and cheese area in the Krogers I have frequented. Plus, they have a very large baked goods section with the fancy deserts that rival Whole Foods and Dorothy Lane Market. The produce section is also beautifully stocked and offers much more produce than I am used to seeing. You also have the usual grocery aisles and staples as you continue through the store, but the show stoppers are really as you enter. Plus, with those Kroger plus rewards l usually feel that I am getting a really great deal.

Clean, friendly staff and always has what I need ! Great floral wine and deli depts ! Party planning made easy !!

This store is too small for the area. They are constantly out of everything, such as toilet paper, milk, orange juice, cereal, etc. No one is ever restocking the shelves, so I am always left wondering if it is the management at this location. Why is it taking since Christmas to replenish your Simple Truth brand milk, creamer, orange juice, etc. It is the middle of January! Sometimes it takes them a full week to restock toilet paper and Kleenex! Upper Kroger management needs to take a close look at this store!

I don’t usually shop at this Kroger, but today I ran in just to get some fruit. The store was clean and seemed well organized for the areas I quickly ran through.
I grabbed some strawberries, grapes, cantaloupe, blueberries, etc… I wanted to look at pineapple… the fresh– as in, in the skin cut your own was $ 3.99, the fresh already cut up was $ 7.02…say what? Are you kidding me? That is just insane, I am sorry Kroger, but why in the world would I pay you $ 3.00 to cut a pineapple and put it in a plastic container, when we both know that the container cost you no more than $.25…what a rip off (insert sad face here).
While the strawberries were on sale, some of the packages were bad, so you had to look through them to find a good pack.
All in all I think Kroger needs to look at the pricing for their produce section and take a serious look at cutting up fruit and putting it in plastic containers. I understand the convenience piece of it, but again it is no where worth an additional $ 3.00.
Also, I wish the organic selection would have been larger.

I agree with Caroline that the layout is somewhat illogical. The store looks a lot nicer since the renovation, and their produce section is pretty amazing. I only wish they would have a larger section of organic produce as I like to use organically grown in my blended smoothies. I like the fact that Kroger has added quick meals for people on the go, and their rotisserie chicken is always a good go to. There is a gas station right across the street, so you can shop and then get your discounted gas. There is also a nice wine section, along with a red box, and lottery section. They also have a lot of 10 for $ 10 deals as well. I appreciate the fact that the parking lot is actually clean and free from random carts awaiting to don’t your ride. The walmart down the street likes to keep one register open and a parking lot full of carts. That’s why I’m willing to pay a little more to shop at Kroger and not have to deal with these headaches. Not to mention, they don’t sell Tvs, birds, and a bunch of other crap that you don’t really need, so in the end you actually spend less by not being tempted by other stuff to buy!

After the recent remodel this Kroger is by far the nicest in the area. They don’t have a jeweler in there (yet) but the quality and presentation of everything has improved immensely.
They’re slowly creeping up to the level of the nearby Whole Foods which is nice to see. I really appreciate the new attention to detail and their sampling of some of the nicer cheeses.
They also have wine tastings on Fridays — we’ve not been to one yet but every time we’re in there during one they looked absolutely packed, so I assume they’re good.

I prefer this Kroger to the others in the Mason/​Kings Mills/​West Chester area. I’ve had a little bit of difficulty finding my way around since the new construction. The store looks and feels new.

Thus Kroger is much nicer now that most of the renovations are done. It’s clean and has a nicer look to it now, but I have no idea what they were thinking with the layout. Things have been moved around and are in a completely illogical order (but it looks nicer now!)
Some improvements are that the Starbucks, pharmacy and self-​checkout areas have gotten much better. There are more self-​scan areas and they are more compact/​efficient. The wine area got moved by the cheese and fresh vegetables, but got smaller and more difficult to navigate. When it gets crowded (they started doing wine tastings on Friday nights to compete with Whole Foods, so every Friday night it is PACKED) it is nearly impossible to get to anything.
On the plus side, they now have a water-​cooling system to quickly chill wines for customers. I love this so much, especially since I tend to buy wine only when I want it (wine never lasts long in our home.)
The nearby Kroger gas station is often reasonably priced compared to other gas stations in the area and has a decent layout. The real benefit is with the Kroger points and getting several cents off per-​gallon.
I’ve never liked the fresh food selection here, but for everything else it’s just fine. I’d happily give them my business for stuff like paper towels over Wal-​Mart.

I haven’t been here since the construction and renovations. It looks really nice now, everything is updated and clean. It was hard to find some of the things I was looking for, and then I found out at the checkout that they have directory maps.
Overall its much nicer then it used to be.

It’s your typical Kroger. Can get crazy sometimes, especially on the weekends.
The set up isn’t the greatest when it comes to the self-​scans being pushed into the pharmacy/​alcohol area. That always seems to be backed up and a pain to try to get through. They also have some housewares items and an organic section which just seems thrown in there.
Also a tip: the cookies and sweets are located back by the alcohol and chips area.
