Hunter’s Shop’n Save

One of the two local grocery stores in town.
Let’s do some geographic math for a second…
Thousands of summer people + small parking area X (3) businesses = MAYHEM
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s review the store itself.
Small footprint with an aging infrastructure. It needs some TLC… big time.
The produce can be sketchy, like they don’t have proper back room cold storage or something. More times than not, the produce is past its prime.
That also makes me worried about buying our meats here.
The pricing can be steep sometimes, and just OK at other times.
Beer prices are messed up HIGH ! Gouges the people that live here year round.
We too have had some issues with rude staff members before. (apparently a common theme here)
One plus (and it’s kinda major) is that they are now affiliated with Hannaford.
So, they carry Hanni brand groceries which is sweet.
All in all, they need some help.
FOLLOW UP: Absolutely ABYSMAL produce section! We spent about $ 8 worth of produce… NONE of it was edible. All rotten, past its prime, and soggy. Disgraceful.

This is a small space and I thought they did a good job with what they had to work with. Sure the prices are more than you’re going to find at your Wal-​Mart mega store but what do you expect? It’s a small grocery store in the middle of a summer resort town.
That being said I thought they had a decent selection of everything I was looking for. The produce outside offered a good local selection. They had a surprisingly good selection of craft beers too. Having worked at a small meat market when I was younger I am a meat snob. The meat all looked great and my purchase was delicious.
My first day on vacation I stocked up for the week and one of the young kids walked out to help me load the car. According to the sign they offer this to all of their customers. I loved that. The few kids I spoke with in the store were very friendly, talkative and helpful.
P. S. I agree with the other poster about the parking lot. It’s a horror show at peak times.

Overpriced, with poor selection and cluttered, crowded shelves. The mostly teenage staff seems generally inattentive and disinterested in the customers. Their parking lot is a nightmare, which they share with two other businesses; a dry-​cleaner and a Rite-​Aid.
The salad bar is uncovered and always swarming with flies, which makes me wonder about the other departments in the store.
