Supermarkets in Grandville, MI

“Coming from South Africa, the self service check out is something to get used to, I do prefer a friendly cashier though, I didn't have coins on me so I couldn't get a trolley so will remember for next time, other than that, the chicken breasts,banana,cinnamon spice,meat spice and fresh garlic I got looks quality and all that I could possibly carry with my hands ? overall no complaints”

“I've went here for over 20 years and its been fairly consistent. The pictures for this review are not all recent, just what I had in the camera roll.

On average, its a pretty clean store, no complaints. The parking lot is tidy most of the time, with the carts in the corral. There are plenty of parking spaces, only getting super tight on/near big holidays. On average, the lot feels pretty safe. Pick up orders are near the middle of the parking lot near the building. Those workers are pretty nice, and pick up orders are usually stress free.

The workers are friendly. When they stock, sometimes certain isles are impossible to navigate. I'm unsure why they dont always take in consideration that customers are shopping. Once COVID hit, and the open hours were cut, I was surprised that they dont use the off hours in order to stock. Seems logical, but I'm not a meijer manager so I dont know those logistics.

There are rodent traps near the garden center doors for the last several months. A bit unsightly, but I'd rather have the traps, then the rodents running around.

Product variety is sometimes iffy for certain items but plentiful for others, and I chalk that up to a distributor issue. Other local stores carry a larger variety (a large competitor) for quite a few things, like certain protein bars, for instance. It is what it is, and it must not be a deal breaker for me since I still shop here. They do stock seasonal items early and plentiful. The Christmas pictures are from years past, and shows the cleanliness.

I use the reward system and related specials to accumulate points. i use those points to get $1 off every gallon at fill up. Worth it, especially now that gas is quite pricey. I've had 2 occasions in the last year where the registers were down in the store, or rewards system could not be reached. It happens, and not fun but inevitable.

My biggest gripe? The bottle return center is often neglected. I've had quite a few times where they didnt open it at the scheduled time, and its a pain to have to go into the store (in the winter!) and tell them that they forgot to open it. Also, sometimes upon opening, a few bottle return lanes are full from the night before, which leans in to the feeling that the bottle return not being a priority. I've included a picture where it was at least 10 minutes late to open, and the line was forming.

Despite flaws, its a decent store, and I will continue to shop here.”
