“This discount store has approximately 19,000 stores in the US and Mexico. It is headquartered in Tennessee and founded in 1939 as JL Turner and Son. They had a name change to Dollar General since 1955.
Dollar General sells a wide variety of items such as home decor, clothing, cleaning supplies, and many more. This store in Barkhamstead is very similar like the other stores. It is well stocked and for the most part, organized. What I noticed in most DGs, there are always items waiting to be stocked on the end of aisles.
This one was pretty busy on the day we went because it was the Sunday before Christmas; I assume people were doing last minute shopping like we were doing too. They had many seasonal items and prices were affordable, as their name holds a reputation for that. This is also the first DG that I've seen two cashiers working; I think because there was a long line. Overall, a standard DG with discounted items. It's definitely a popular store and I understand why.”
“Friday sausage and peppers, Excellent!!
The meat loaf sandwich was awesome!!
Parking: Across the street they have plenty of parking
Wheelchair accessibility: Have ramp.”
“I want to express my gratitude to the produce manager at Fitzgerald’s Grocery Store on Hopmeadow St in Simsbury Ct. A gentleman named Blaine took my order over the telephone today at noontime and with the help of Store Manager B. DeVoe they had a HUGE BEAUTIFUL fruit basket with crackers and cheese and other goodies ready for me three hours later. I picked it up and was blown away at the finished basket with bow and ribbon. The price was below what I would have paid at Whole Foods or H. Park Market!! OUTSTANDING!!!”
“Aldi's is always clean and easy to shop. I love finding seasonal treasures especially around Christmas. There's lots of variety and they have the best prices for any grocery store in the area. It may be a pain to have a quarter for the shopping carts but I often find one in the parking lot or somebody offers it to me. Then I pay it forward. One time I didn't have a quarter and the cashier let me use one from inside.”
“I normally do not go to the Geisslers in the area. A friend told me the one in Granby was excellent. I visited and was pleasantly surprised
Very clean, well stocked with better products, and clearly had more people. I will go back to this one. I understand they will remodel the other locations using this one as the model. It can't come soon enough if they want to survive.”
“We were transported to Highclere Castle from the moment we arrived for our Downton Abbey tea! Personal touches and attentive service were the order of the day as we sampled each of the many delicious offerings, including both savories and sweets -- the scones were the best we had found since traveling in Ireland. We have already signed up for our next! Treat yourself: you won't be disappointed.”
“My wife and I come here for their delicious sandwiches and, we also love the scenic drive up here. The Grandville country store is definitely well worth the trip here.”
“Absolutely wonderful people and amazing foods. Grass fed meats, breads and cookies that just melt in your mouth, fresh fruits and vegetables locally and responsively grown.”
“I had some issues getting my account sorted out and went over to customer service for help. Aiden helped me, and he was super kind and pleasant the whole time. He made the process really easy and was great to talk to. I definitely recommend this Big Y. it’s well stocked and has good deals usually.”
“Stopped in the new Big Y in Simsbury and what a beautiful store! It's set up like there store in Great Barrington,Ma. Very well done. Great customer service!!!”
“? The Fresh Market is always an exceptional experience. From the moment you walk in, the vibrant displays of fresh produce catch your eye — everything looks beautifully arranged and truly top quality. Their cuts of meat are consistently excellent, making it a go-to for special dinners or just everyday meals you want to elevate.
The selection of artisan foods is a foodie’s dream come true: gourmet cheeses, specialty spreads, freshly baked breads, and unique treats you won’t find in your typical grocery store. And I have to mention their pizza — honestly one of the best grocery store pizzas I’ve ever had, with a crust that bakes up perfectly and generous, flavorful toppings.
Whether you’re shopping for staples, putting together an elegant charcuterie board, or simply treating yourself, The Fresh Market never disappoints. It’s truly a pleasure to shop there every time.”
“Clean store and friendly staff! The staff go above and beyond in terms of friendliness. The store itself is large and well organized. I am giving 4/5 stars because the store does not have a gluten free section like other locations (specifically the Big Y in West Hartford). While they have gluten free tags next to the prices, there’s not one spot where gluten free stuff is kept. It makes it more difficult and time consuming to shop. After speaking with a staff member, it seemed to be a common request customers had. I am hopeful the store will create a gluten free section (even a small one) as it is incredibly helpful for people who have celiac/ gluten allergy/ intolerance.”
“Every time I need to go shopping, I go to Whole Foods because of their incredible selection of vegetables and their meat quality. The staff is incredibly courteous and helpful and will help you with anything you need. This WFM is newer, and the facilities are nice. Get the sushi!”
“Are you stuck in a rut in the kitchen trying to make healthy food?
If so, the answer is to get a Dietitian to help you out, and you can do so for free !!!
The 5 Star rating for Shope Rite of Canton was given because of the value provided by my no-cost appointment with this store's Dietitian, Hannah Dipanfilo.
As a recent retiree who's trying to stay in shape, I was very pleased that a short session with Ms Hannah provided me with easy, helpful ideas on menus that fit my caloric needs...and my lack of desire to spend a lot of time in the kitchen !
Do yourself a favor and do as I did - go see the Dietitian Hannah Dipanfilo at Shop Rite of Canton !”
“This is definitely one of the nicest and cleanest dollar generals I've been to. Nothing blocking the aisles, good variety. I was out this way because of a job I have and will be using this dollar general from now on!”
“Phone Cases Engraved they are so good not kidding they would be the best phone cases they even gave me a 10 percent discount if I bought anything with it I got one for my wife like 2 years ago it’s still with her everyone should get it”
“Worst restaurant ever. There an entire Isle of raw meat, nothing was cooked. Terrible menu, no one greeted us or seated us. We walked around aimlessly waiting to be seated. Nothing here is made fresh, there were endless isle's of frozen prepared food. Couldn't even buy beer past 9pm.....what kinda bar is this. Bring back IGA.”
“This whole staff, is absolutely a wonderful part of this Stop & Shop. Each and every employer makes it a point to be caring, concerned and they all smile. ☺️ That's why I love shopping here plus calling them by their name and always complimenting them. Vikki is a Doll Baby! Professional enough to run that whole store! Recognize her abilities. Thank you.”
“The Stop and Shop in Granby is a great place to shop for groceries. They have a vast selection of everything, and I was able to find the brand of coffee creamer I was looking for. The prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for groceries in the area.”
“To the wonderful lady that works at Pleasant Valley general store. I can't say thank you enough for going out of your way to make 3 girls from Missouri breakfast when there was nothing around. Your generosity and kindness is very much appreciated and your customer service was excellent. Thank you again for starting our morning off of the right foot and with your wonderful act of kindness.”
