Dinova’s Four Corners Store

I was a frequent shopper at the Middlebury Market until recently. They have a lunch and dinner menu to bring home. Unfortunately they have decided that profit is more important than service. Their hot meal items were packaged in nice plastics leak proof containers. So to save a few cents they have switched to cheap metal containers that are flimsy. Even Town Plot Market and the new Bella Home Cooking offer dinners in the plastic containers. You would think for what they charge at Dinovas they would spend the few pennies to keep customers happy. Not good buisssness sense if you ask me. You are in haute Middlebury and you look like a corner cutter in the name of profit.

The employees here are always so nice and helpful. Their produce is usually the freshest I’ve seen around, especially the lettuces and herbs!

Been back several times since my first review and I love this place! Moved close by and it is my go to place for anything bbq related. Their bakery is great too and I got a burger from their deli that was amazingly huge for a price that was cheaper than a burger chain. Give their giant cookies or home-​made brownies a try, amazing! The staff there is very friendly and always willing to help. Parking is plentiful. Hours can be a bit hard with someone who works a 9 – 5 shift, but it is awesome that there is still a place that believes in Sunday being the day of rest (shorter hours) and a place that doesn’t force its workers to be there every second of everyday. Being in retail in the past, I can respect that they care about their employees enough to give them this time off. The layout of the store is still very clean and I believe it is because the workers take pride in the presentation of the store unlike some chains. Make sure to check out the doorway area for events that are going on in the area.
If you are passing by or a Middlebury/​Waterbury/​Naugatuck/​Watertown resident, be sure to stop by four corners and have a look. Even if you just grab a quick bite and sit on a bench at the nearby park next door.
