“We stopped at the farmer's market when we drove through town, which was a delight since it made an easy decision to take a walk through town afterwards where we discovered some gems. My favorite part of the farmer's market were the mix of musicians, flower sellers (a modern day My Fair Lady memory), beekeepers selling honey, and they even had meat vendors mixed in your your staples of fruits and veggies. We were just travelling through, but we got a bouquet of flowers (we left the cute little bumblebees to do their thing) for our friends who hosted us in town before we walked downtown to check out the shops. We found Reverie Coffee (the best vibing coffee shop ever) and a great tobacconist. Great small town feel and we lucked out with beautiful weather.”
“Zach catered our rehearsal dinner this past weekend, and we can’t recommend him enough! He was professional and kind. Everything needed for the meal was provided. The food was absolutely delicious! His blueberry cake was phenomenal. Highly recommended him if you’re looking for a great lobster bake.”
“Since 2009 I’ve been eating their 10” inch loaded people every once in awhile I treat myself it’s soo delicious with fresh veggies & meat, crust is just right on the cruchinesss cooked Perfectly Thanks Tess’s Market”
“Enjoy the best our farmers produce! Fresh vegetables, flaky breads, delicious cheeses, and don’t forget your spices. It’s just a fun way to spend your Saturday on a wintery morning.”
“We LOVE the new location, 17 Seahawk Ave by Wild Oats. The new store is spacious, beautiful and a great location! The original has served us well for years. We are happy to continue when we are in town! We will be switching as the 17 Seahawk Ave store is closer and offers the same great products and service!”
“Out of all the options to get groceries in the area, this might be the best. Even during peak rush hours, lines always move fast and they are well staffed. Clean facility, friendly and professional staff.”
“Past the double doors your inside - quickly met with a blast of neuvo summer of 2022.5 Igloos and Playmates and beach dinnerware and then it's to the deli if you rip a hard left and after that - produce at eleven o'clock - then it's all ,,blurry confusion - then there's a reestablished connection to rows and registers and women's bikinis. Someone once told me that "big supermarkets (redundant, I know) take from the human experience and the quality" and I can't tell you that I completely disagree. But such are the times now - and smaller pockets in and around New England benefit in more ways than one to have such behemoths lurking around towns and setting roots. Last night this was the Rigs landing spot, myself included and minus the mess the young folk left post meetup (which I picked up - no biggie, let's all pitch in and clean up even if it's not our own) I was awoken by my estranged crow friend Fred. Heaving asiago cheddar bread in his direction - the gulls came - because they were watching, totally dominating the rooftops and flagpole parking lot lights. I've been in Maine for three months, you can take my word on this one - gulls dominant the lots. But back inside I get a equal balance of "it's not my department" dude and that absolutely sweet gal that seems to have a sensory perception when I become confused about peanut butter or the bread to spread it on and many more real life examples - so the scales of customer service satisfaction tip more towards Good.”
“The atmosphere is so much more cheerful than Hannaford.. I get the idea the employees are much happier with their work environment and the experience feels so much more personal whenever I shop there”
“I love this Hannaford! The snoxfox sushi is out of this world amazing, and the sushi chefs are so nice!Hannafords always has great produce and good deals. I just wish their deli would bring back the blackberry pistachio salad- literally the best salad ever!”

“Great wonderful staff. Very talkative very helpful. Very polite and kind, which is a rare thing with Walmarts nowadays. It's a great, wonderful breath of fair share. Most the Walmarts I go in the staff don't even tell you the total. They don't even talk to you. Won't even look at you”
“Unlike many other people in a hurry, I know how busy pharmacy can get and how they can get behind. I use the Yarmouth Hannaford pharmacy for 18 years until I moved to Topsham. The Elm/Maine Street location is closest to me. I have two chronic illnesses plus other conditions so I always try and give them plenty of lead time so that I'm not in a panic running out of my meds. I know they're doing the best they can, so I try not to add to their stress.”

Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
