Ingles Number 23

When I was at Ingles the other day, I asked an employee a question. This employee, M_​_​_​, acted like I was a bother and like I was nothing. Unbelievably enough, this woman is the manager of customer service. How she is, I do not know. I remember her being rude to me almost exactly a year ago, right from her Dark Tower, also known as the customer service desk. Well, as you can read, she is still rude. Stars are the same for the time being; hopefully things change for the better.

I’ll give this grocery store four stars. It is similar to the ones we have at home with plenty of gluten-​free and organic options.
When you enter the store, it is spacious, well-​organized, and clean. It is well-​stocked in all areas. I found nearly everything that I was looking for and didn’t expect to find.
Much of their products were good quality and ample quantity. The produce area was clean, the produce bright and fresh looking. The deli carried Boars head and lower end quality meats. The cheese selection was quite notable and carried probably any variety you may be in search of.
There was a variety of product options in the aisles I shopped in (personal, condiments, beverages, dessert, vitamins, etc.).
The self-​checkout was easy enough. The only drawback was that if you paid cash, you had to wait for assistance and the attendant was not readily available. I wasn’t in a hurry, but that is a bit inconvenient.
The prices were that of a better grocery store. You generally get what you pay for.
Overall, it was a good shopping experience. I would shop here if I lived in the area.

CLEAN well managed store with higher quality products and competitive prices. Best value mix by far all factors considered in WNC. The staff working are very friendly. John just pushed a broom by and stopped to say hello. Noticed some of these reviews are based upon specific item price comparison with other stores in other areas of the country. To me this is irrelevant and not a realistic reflection of the store rating. This is the best grocery store in Waynesville.

This store is pretty good and where I buy most of our groceries. Much better stocked than the store across town which only has the basics.
The olive/​salad bar is probably this store’s best feature. While the deli, bakery, meat produce, and beverage departments are very adequate. There is also a Starbucks inside but don’t order anything complicated.
This store can special order some things if you ask. Of the several Ingles I have visited, this one has the friendliest staff.
I do prefer the Canton store which is larger and has gas pumps. The Canton store also has a much larger seafood and meat market as well as a larger selection of beer and wine.

THE supermarket of choice in the valley area below the Smoky Mountains. The items offered are fresh and tempting for knowledgeable eaters and cooks alike. But because there isn’t a major airport hub like we have in Chicago, some of the prices are noticeably higher (I bought some Mexican red seedless grapes — delicious! — but $ 2.98/lb., while back in Chicago, they’re $ 0.99/lb.).

This ingles is above the quality of any market in Waynesville and among the top ingles ever…
Staff great, selection great, quality among the best. They set a standard other merchants can rise to.
Thank you for this Rock’n supermarket!
And guys keep on improving your great store and you’ve earned my business for tomorrow
