“Just moved into the area and had an above average experience shopping at Geisslers. The place is modern and very clean. The best part were the two young employees they checked me out and bagged the food. This is an example of good young workers that care about their job. They went above and beyond for me and had a smile on their face. Both of them have a bright future.”
“Always loved the Hampden Market and was so happy when Armata took it over. Love what they have done with the organization, automatic doors, and checkout registers. The staff is excellent: cordial and helpful.
One of our favorite items to purchase was mixed salads from the deli: egg salad, ham salad, and tuna. Tuesday I bought two pounds of the tuna salad and two of the ham salad. The ham salad was excellent - every bit as excellent as The Hampden Market’s was.
The tuna salad was another story. It did have plenty of bits of celery, but……. It was very dry and LACED WITH GARLIC POWDER (?) which could be smelled as soon as we took off the cover. Frankly, I don’t feel ANY garlic should be in tuna salad, but I think anyone would agree this batch would qualify as OVERLOADED with it. From now on I will ask for a sample taste.
Nevertheless, we love having Armata’s in Hampden.”
“The Wilbraham bigY is my favorite ! You can’t go wrong with the family fish, fry, fish and chip dinner, we do that probably once a week we do the pizza shop pizza probably once a week and that has never disappointed us , big hearty slices for a reasonable price, cooked fresh… We get all of our birthday cakes from the bakery. I do all of my weekly shopping at big Y Wilbraham. I love the cleanliness & the convenience . Love the big open doors when you walk in makes you feel like you’re in a Tuscan marker, area not right on Boston Road. I enjoy all my experiences there and the staff is nice.”
“Absolutely fantastic little store. Small but decent non snack food selection. Bottled drink and snack food selection is very good. Great for picking up small things on your trips. Fantastic service with nice owners. ATM available. Good alcohol selection as well.”
“Residents of Palmer are so fortunate to have the establishment of Jane Alden in the center of Palmer. The respected owners provide extraordinary service to their patrons, not to mention the abundance of products and of couse full service of achohol and tobacco products plus lottery . Sooooo, don't be a stranger, come down and see for yourself!!!”
“Always been my neighborhood store. Huge selection on monsters. You can even sit & play keno or numbers. Big Plus is all the good frozen pops are here,even SpongeBob ?❤?”
“Love the staff and they carry a lot of things for a small convenience store. I'm so happy that they're in business cuz I can walk from my house and they have amazing grinders too.”

“Hi, you have a gentleman who works there and his name is Andy. I just want to tell you he's a great individual!! Very helpful very kind and always ready to help you ☺️ my name is Steve and my daughter's name is Katrina I love the unique quarter game I love it ? it's special and they may not have everything someone may say but he's got enough to cover the bases for sure. Great place”
“It's a grocery store what can I say about a grocery store, except that it sells groceries. Their prices are higher than a DOLLAR GENERAL, but Dollar GENERAL only has limited groceries.”
“Cute little place. I just stopped real quick to use the bathroom so I wasn't able to check everything out but it looked like a very homey place. Also in the store the were selling a lot of local items which I thought was amazing.”
“I used to own an iguarana for a pet. It was adorable. Soda of choice for the Brazilians. It's a really excellent product which I have been loving ever since I first tried it in Brazil but one person I know loves that way more than I do and that person is named Barbie. This is one of my favourite sodas even though it's a little on the sweet side and has a strange taste. It's made from some kind of Guarana syrup which is apparently sourced from the Amazon region and it's the Brazilian national drink. It is to them what Coca-Cola is to America - but it's definitely got more about it than Coca-Cola and I highly recommend giving it a try even though it is clearly not very good for you. Maybe that's why the Brazilians have such ample charms in the rear Department.”
“I absolutely love the food here! I was not a believer until last summer.. prior to that, I was lead to believe it was local folklore! It's not! The food here is amazing!”
“I like this place but I’m a little afraid. I was walking and I heard a few staff members talking about how they may have to rise prices because of inflation. I really hope I just misheard them…”
“Great location in the center of town, super friendly and helpful staff, great selection of groceries, beverages, and liquor. My roommates and I absolutely love going here, and prefer it over regular stores. Thank you guys for being so awesome ?”
“Have shopped there for many years, since Armatas bought it awhile back there has been new foods introduced which is nice but have to admit when the old owners had it their meat seemed to be of a better quality”

“Easy parking. Very expensive and not much in choice of products. The produce is AWFUL, very often moldy vegetables and fruit. Not my favorite store and definitely only go for convenience.”
