Shaw’s

This store is in dire need of a complete facilities update. It’s virtually the same infrastructure that was present when I moved to North Deering in 1983. For years… living about 1 ½ miles north of it… I drove past it, three miles to go to the Hanniford in Falmouth. Now I’m older and lazier… but I don’t like it much better.
The produce section is clearly inferior… limited organic items… limited selection… zip on presentation… it’s weak. The salad bar is ok… but again nothing like whole foods…
The meat and butchery is very basic… limited selection… if you want a mass supermarket butchery… the Falmouth Hanniford will cut and or special order anything you want… far superior.
My biggest peeve… the lack of 10 item or less isles… basically one… Hanniford usually has three or four… it’s a mismanagement cost cutting error in my eyes… and painful for the two or three times a week shopper like me…
Staff is very friendly… and it’s close to my home… so I give it 2 ½ to 3 stars… because the register gals all know me by name… which is nice

Pluses include lots of parking. They also have several varieties/​flavors for different brands. This location is very convenient close to a recycling center, several pharmacies, and a Bank of America. The aisles are nice and wide. Produce and meat prices for some items are on par with Hannaford’s while other items are a little cheaper.

This is a great place to go for everyday shopping! I now always go here for my shopping and food!
When you near the area. You see that there is a recycling place! I stock those dirty cans and bags in the different bins!
And then there’s the store. Oh my gosh. It’s great! With tons of different types of food. Beef. Seafood. And even hot sauce! This place is to-​go!
Even beyond that is the various goodies you can get. Like. For example. Lottery tickets! A pharmacy! A unique monopoly prize system! A store discount card/​keychain! And even a magazine stand! Plus. The employees are quite nice!
The only sad part is that it is the only Shaws that doesn’t have the iconic self checkout. So there’s that. So the empty space is just for a candy Stand.
Overall. This is a great store to go to! I advise you go ahead and stay awhile!

I like this Shaw’s because it is near me and has a relatively good selection of items. They carry a specific wine that I like, that I can’t find in any other markets in the area — big plus.
There’s always plenty of parking. They’re in a convenient plaza. Huge plus for the self-​check out area. Now if they added PayPass to their Point of Sales (POS), I’d give them 5 stars.
Protip: If you do shop here, do look at the expiration dates. I’ve been a patron for two years now, and have regularly found expired items on the shelf. One day was particularly bad: I noticed three different products throughout the store that had expired items on the shelves. I checked my cart and found another expired item. They had all expired by 2 – 3 weeks.

Bigger than the Congress st location. Has many aisles, lots of choices to choose from. They have the «international» aisles, the healthy section, good floral section.
Location can’t be any better. They’ve got the recycling redemption outside the store and plenty of parking.

This Shaw’s is located in a plaza with Bank of America, Starbucks, Anytime Fitness, Little Caesar’s, CVS, Hallmark store, and a sportsware shop. With all these stores, there’s still plenty of parking and it hardly ever gets too crowded.
There’s a Redbox inside, and most days the store is open 7 – 11, except for Sunday nights when it closes earlier.
They have a decent amount of sales, but produce tends to look a bit fresher over at Hannaford. The employees are generally nice and friendly, and the hard liquor is on the other side of the store from the beer.
