“I called stop and stop right when they opened in need of a boutonniere made that morning and the women on the phone (believe her name was Candy?) in the floral department was so helpful and amazing and said she could get me the flower within the hour! I was thrilled. And what she put together looked amazing!!”
“The food is phenomenal! Love the slow roasted pork and rice and beans! Be sure to try other sandwiches and look around the store for other great treats! Don't forget the vintage candy and ice cream for dessert!”

“I like this store. I like the store brand. I really have no complaints. I will say however that occasionally, it's kind of like visiting a Walmart, you just never know the characters that wander in.”
“I've been shopping at Market 32 since the day they opened the new store. There are dandelion greens and many different types of kale! One day when the fabulous radishes were not there, I spoke to a woman I thought was simply a pair of hands -- and she informed me that the radishes just were not up to snuff that week and she passed them by! What a help that is! I rarely go to the middle of the store – but the Produce, the Bakery, the Meat Department where you can find tomahawk steaks and grass fed beef, and the Fish department - where you can find things fresh and there's someone to talk to who can guide you to what's especially good -- it all makes a difference. I wish the Price Chopper fellows had the courage to go all the way – but for the moment, what they're doing is so greatly appreciated! And -- by the way -- there is someone packing your groceries while you're unpacking your cart. The help is terrific. And I thank them. Overlook the fact that they're in a Wallmart Strip Mall -- and give them a try. You'll be pleased you did.”
“Massive produce section, great ready to eat foods, and a lot of variety. They don’t have the best sales compared to other local chain grocery stores but fantastic selection and always clean and easy to shop.”
“The gas station is fine, just like any other gas station. But I actually go here because it has the old school, free, precise tire filling station. A hidden gem!”
“We have been shopping here for a long time. Customer service has been so so and selections have been hit or miss. Today the salmon selection was really great and Chitra was fantastic. She was so thoughtful and put our blueberries and grapes into a plastic bag in case the box/bag opens . She put things gently into the cart
We have had many experiences with cashiers, being very careless with our produce, etc.
Thank you, Chitra!”
“Fantastic selection, amazing quality. 3verything is super fresh and organized. Not the largest parking lot but parking isn't generally an issue...the quality of meat is next level. Amazing baked goods, cheeses and delicious with a plethora of to go dinner items. The cost is pricey. But so is quality!”
“Great store there are not many small stores like this left there used to be an IGA in winsted it's gone now. The produce was very good the rest of the products were good and all the staff was very nice and helpful. It was quite a change and reminds me of how it used to be when there was more smaller stores like. It would be nice if more small markets like this come back. It seems like the employees are happier and the food is definitely fresher and better quality.”
“Stop & Shop has a very nice assortment of different brands and products. They have the cheaper version and the more expensive ones. There fruit I’ve found wanting several times. ALDI has a good variety of fruit at a better price.”

“I pass by the Ox Hollow Farm Stand, located on RT202, in Bantam, CT four times a week. I'll stop for produce in season, my wife loves their tomatoes. But it seems like they specialize in farm raised meats, they have a good amount in the several freezers found inside this little farm stand. Prices are typically 3X what you would pay for similar types of meat in the supermarket, but that's standard when you're buying quality, Farm fresh meats. A solid 4 Star rating for this wonderful Connecticut Farm stand.”
“The store is usually very neat and tidy. All the staff is very helpful and friendly, at least the night staff because that is the only time I usually go. Personally I'm trying to stop shopping at Dollar general and some stores of that nature. But at least I know I can go in there and be treated courteously by the staff.”
“Visiting this area and stopped here for the first time, from what I gathered this is one of if not the only grocery store in Washington. It's smaller than what I'm used to and with less variety in the packaged food section but what it lacks there it totally makes up for with a vast produce section and selection of prepared foods and bakery items. They make some chocolate chunk caramel sea salt cookies and they may be one of the best cookies I've ever had in my life! The customer service is top tier everyone is so sweet. This is a slower town so people seem more down to earth and eager to help. If you're traveling through this area don't be afraid to give this place a go you won't regret it.”

“This is the most organized and clean Dollar General I’ve ever seen. And I drove across the country from west to east.
Very good job the employees. Keep it up!
They are also extremely nice and helpful!
I drove 20 min from where I live and there are 2 dollar general shops closer to me but I will definitely drive to this store every time I need something.”
“Great selection of fall and Halloween merchandise. Everyone working was nice and patient with the people in front of me who were having some issues with coupons, the supervisor/manager was helpful to them and the cashier and still took the time to open another register to help people waiting and he was very personable and friendly.”
“I live right down the road and I love Sam's. They even have canned dog food. I've always lived in rural areas- so to me having a convenience store less than a mile away is just fantastic.”
“This Walmart is very clean, and we'll staffed. It has a great frozen food and dairy section.
Outdoor plants, and gardening supplies.
An excellent sporting goods section.
There's an indoor Subway Store. If you want to grab a sandwich before, or after your shopping.”

“Some of the cashier's are great they help you I guess it's the head of the departments the girl at the service desk is great to very pleasant I think her name is kara”
“As Dollar Generals go, this one is downright cherry. There are others in the area that lean into the black, but here we have regular convenience store lighting. You can see! You can see it from across the dark parking lot! Speaking of which, parking is plentiful since we're dealing with a big plaza. Inside you have a little bit of everything. They have coolers for cold food, regular groceries, greeting cards, seasonal, paper products, etc. Aisles are okay size, and the store is big enough where you can avoid other shoppers. There are some places admittedly better faced than others - picture frames are discombobulated, but seasonal Halloween looked picture perfect. The cashier was really friendly with the best register "bell" to summon him I've ever seen.”
“I stopped by the BJ's in Torrington, because I needed some honey and cheese. This BJ's surprisingly wasn't that busy on two nights before Christmas. It was well stocked, but it took me some time to find everything I was looking for because the layout of this store is a bit different from the one in West Hartford.There was a very kind lady offering samples of corn and apple sauce, she was working at both stations simultaneously. Each time I passed by her she offered it to me again. I told her, I just had it, she said "that's ok, have another one!" I always thought the people who check for your BJ's membership card as you're walking in was the most ridiculous job, because you can't really do much without your card. On this occasion they didn't ask for my card. I was convinced it was in my purse. After my shopping cart was filled and I went to pay, I discovered I didn't have my card. Lucky it was in my car, so all time wasn't wasted.Their job to check for your card, actually has a purpose, holding you responsible that you know where your card is.BJ's is a Club Warehouse. Their membership is $55 annually. This is where I typically go to fill up my car with gas. Their gas prices are the best.”
“Best staff at customer service ! Seen rude customers but staff are always polite and respectful no matter how some of these customers are rude. Kudos to them and management! Five stars Torrington Ct BJ’s”
“I stopped by this delightful little shop while visiting my mom who lives up the road. What a cute place! It has been around for about two years and has cheeses, pastas, tinned fish, foie Gras, pate, cured meats, and more. The owner is a retired flight attendant who hand picks all of the inventory from some of her favorite places she's come across in her travels all over Italy, Greece, France, and more. A truly can't-miss, one-of-a-kind culinary shopping experience in lovely Litchfield, CT.”
