“The Deli Food, prepared fresh is why I stop in. It cannot be easy to own & upkeep a historic landmark building. The Pantry items on the shelves are not priced. 9+oz portion of Folgers Coffee for $12.49. DO STOP TO IN to support by buying beverages and sandwiches. They cater as well.”
“The store recently has gone through a lot of renovations, which make it better. But it was pure chaos for a while there no one knowing where anything was everything was moved around and all over the place. But they have certainly got their act together now everything has a place things are a little different but you can ask any associate and they’re usually pretty happy to help. The store is always clean produces OK but I do find that my berries whether it’s strawberries, blackberries or raspberries go very quick. But honestly, their prices are a lot better than other places with my card. I get a lot of discounts”

“I wanted to praise you on the AMAZING and dedicated group of people you have employed at your Southbury,CT location. I wish I could name them all but I wanted to compliment the following specifically. Jen, ALWAYS ready to help a customer. She's very observant and definitely on her A-Game. Leslie, so sweet and so kind and always patiently helps me with my coupons that just won't scan. I will never forget how much she has sanitized those self-checkouts! Jared, Probably the happiest human ever. Anita, I see her so often as I'm in there quite a bit and she's always so friendly and helpful. Dave in Produce is one of my favorite! He's meticulous and I enjoy our quick chats. The Deli Guys, you may have finally got them right. So far they are great and for a while I had a hard time saying that. Treat them well. Lee, will literally stop what's best doing to tell you about a special on eggs or milk and guide us towards that product. What moved me to write this was that my daughter turned to me on the way out and said "Mom, you literally know everyone". I responded that they have become my little friends and I enjoy seeing them. Thank you for cultivating a wonderful team. I shop for both my business and home and since I'm in there so often it's amazing to feel like they are my friends. *If there ever an issue they take care of it asap.”
