Grocery Stores in Guilford, CT

“This short review is being written to complement 2 employees of the fish department, specifically Brien and Devin, who always go out of their way to be extremely helpful to every customer I have seen being served. I used to buy my fish at Stop and Shop - but there is no comparing the special attention these guys at Big Y give their customers. They both go out of their way to make sure you get exactly what you want.... A+”

“Foodworks reliably has fresh organic produce and sometimes from local farms as well. The store also carries lots of supplements (which I know nothing about but which seem to draw many customers.) and aisles of interesting items.)While the store offers a card for a discount, the prices are often outrageous. Of course, an independent store needs to boost prices, but nearly double the price of some eggs and yogurt readily available elsewhere seems unreasonable (e.g. $15.50 for a large yogurt costing 8.50 at Big Y. The service is unevenly friendly-- some extremely personable individuals stand noticeably apart from some dour workers. I know it's not their responsibility to smile, but it's nice when they do. As for bulk items, the selection is limited. I would love to see more interesting bulk flours. Similarly, it would be nice to find vegetables and fruit not readily available elsewhere, such as heirloom varieties of apples or grains. Special orders are a mystery : there's a book for requests, but it's not always clear whether something can or cannot be ordered. It's a very nice store but could be a lot better with more attention to what customers would like to see brought into the store and a more pleasant attitude towards those customers, especially not ordering/barking at people to line up in their odd --it seems backwards to me!--checkout line.”

“Great market that has a lot to offer people that are everyday shoppers, foodies looking for something new or just want something good to eat. Don’t miss the specials and the weekly Little Big Meal offers.”

“Love love love this store! Clean, so very clean! Staff is amazing! Everything to fresh and wonderful! I wish there were more around. This is the store all other grocery stores should aspire to.”

“Great family owned and operated business! Brita is always extremely helpful when we're planning our Friday team lunches and the food is always great and fresh. Couldn't recommend them more! Thanks to the whole crew at The Marketplace!”
