“As stated earlier you might think the sign to this store leads you to a smoke shop but just look for where the shopping carts are and go in through that door to the immediate right of the smoke shop and you will find a cozy store that looks a little shabby but has some fantastic buys. I happened to be driving through the town and just looked over at the strip mall and saw the big Oriental market sign and absolutely checked it out for nothing but pure curiosity. They have a whole lot of ingredients that you're not going to find at big box stores like h Mart or the supermarket in Middletown. Lots of rice seasonings, pickles and sauces. There are also some fresh ingredients like baby bok choy but the star of the show where the Frozen authentic Chinese soup dumplings and steamed buns. Probably saw my favorites I've ever had even more so than the ones I get at the Korean grocery store. There's an elderly gentleman who helps you out with everything if you have any questions and he's very happy to do so. Looking forward to going back there again.”
“My Market is clean and nice atmosphere,the noise level is moderate. Mr.Lee makes very good sandwiches w/only fresh ingredients and fresh hard rolls and sub breads,etc”
“Amazing atmosphere. They had such a nice variety of many different items. The store itself was well organized and extremely clean. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Prices seemed to be very fair. My daughter loved hanging out on the bench outside eating her yogurt covered animal cookies”
“My favorite sandwich combo is pepperoni, muenster, lettuce, & tomato w/ a little bit of mayo. Also, for much of 2023 & '24 thus far, I've been helping Dimpi's move its old stock of Bud Light bottles & cans. This might be due to a politically motivated "boycott" of Bud products. Apparently, some fragile little men regard other people's gender identity as an affront to their existence. It's one of the latest "moral" panics!”
“Uncle Sal and his nephew are like cousins thy are very heartfelt they have best Baklava they have vimto drinks which we all love on Senegal and fresh lamb they got $10 whole chicken beautiful giant trays to eat with family or serve meals and golden or silver teapots they have gum it’s like rosemary or some type of middle eastern herbal gum I now know Matt I think his name is he’s nice the whole family there just a blessing Muchallah”
“I ordered a sandwich from the beautiful Senorita who cooks, and the gentleman in the store was very nice. Praying for the Muslim community in the time of reverence if Ramadan. May God bless you and do a new thing in the lives of the believer.”
“This mini-mart is convenient when traveling along Vassar Road in the town of Poughkeepsie. They sell cigarettes, alcohol, beverages, milk, eggs, bread, scratch-off tickets, deli sandwiches made on site, the newspaper, some general grocery items, etc..Dimpy's has a handicapped parking lot which is wheelchair accessible.It's easy in and quickly out when you're rushing around town.”
“I have been going to Casa now for quite some time, and saw a variety of workers, and they continue to remain (at least for me) a place to get a great bite, or a quick grab and go. Very kind, and polite. They don't get the community credit that is due. If I'm honest”
“a nice stop when I need something quick. I like that I can grab coffee, snacks, ice cream, or a few basics without making a big trip. It has a simple local feel and is always convenient when I’m nearby.”
“This is one of the cleanest, most organized, and well stocked grocery stores I have ever been to. Plus, it had the Trinidadian seasonings I needed, but couldn't find anywhere else nearby.”
“Pretty sad this company doesn’t act like the Stewart’s down the road where they round the Pennie’s in favor of the customer. Good thing Aldis is coming right next door their policy is to round in favor of the customer.”
“I LOVE THIS STORE! Those who work the front end, especially Miss Laura and Miss Lee, are two of the most nicest ladies there as well as anyone running the registers! Produce prices are reasonable and their meats are nice and fresh. Very nice selection of groceries and non-foods too, and good quality. This is my go-to store if I don't want to go to the larger supermarkets in the area. Always support your local businesses!”
“I didn't need many groceries today, but I'm glad this place has re-opened in 2024 as the Kingston Meat Market of Poughkeepsie. I'll aim to be back again for meat, veggies, snacks, & beer! Great alternative to Tropical Fresh &/or corner stores.”
“I stopped into Dollar General for a few quick things and found what I needed without making it a big trip. It’s a handy spot for snacks, household basics, and random little items I forget to grab elsewhere. Simple, affordable, and convenient.”
“Stopped to get eggs, very large selection of Spanish, Mexican foods, fruit, vegetable, cooked, spices, I just need eggs. Clean, and friendly, being I was a gringo ?”
“If it's your 1st time in the store the clerks might seem very serious, once you begin to frequent the store you quickly realize these guys are friendly, funny and will remember you. it's clean, safe and the prices although r a little higher than u would pay at a "regular" store, they do not excessively price gauge lime the surrounding corner store.”
“Price Chopper pharmacy and all the pharmacists and techs who work there are outstanding. Rarely a wait to fill and pick up prescriptions. Got tired of the chaos at CVS. Thank you Price Chopper Pharmacy!”
“Good ppl u can trust not like the store on the next block that robs everyone and sells stale stuff(dalleos).I love all the staff here always respectful and trustworthy w fresh things and honest answers and the very best thing is I never get charged for things I didn't get or feel taken advantage of.(update)Atm charges u and may or may not give u the correct amount u asked for be careful w atm .....”
“No problems, very convenient for me being handicapped. It lets me keep some independence. Worker put bags in trunk carefully, so there were no ripped bags. Love this service!”
“It's certainly new and still one of the better stocked Shoprite's. You want to hate them with their lame logos and horrible advertising. But if you shop their sales, you'll come out way ahead. They have good prices and their sales produce the best prices around. Yes still the same - 10/25”
“I placed an order for pickup on n October 9, 2023. When I went to pick up my order was wrong. They went to look for the item. Item could not be found. They gave me 30 dollars in store credit. Then when they said they can do delivery I said fine. Then they gave me another 5 dollars because of the tax. I wasn't expecting this at all. I was presently surprised. I definitely will go back and shop there.”
“I stopped in to see if they had some things a friend needed. I know nothing about African food. The woman there was helpful and the prices are reasonable. I will definitely be back.”
“I love the deals and wide selection of products! Some-most of the weekly deals are crazy! Bogo/bogt/50%-75%off and so on. Fantastic seafood & meat markets! As well as the bakery, which will make you damn near anything you could dream up, they more then likely can do it, and you won't be going over on budget!”
“Lately, I've been observing that my trips to the market can get a bit busy, especially at the checkout. Sometimes, while I’m trying to pack my groceries, the cashier moves on to the next customer's items before I'm finished. It can feel a little rushed, and I do miss the days when cashiers would lend a hand with packing, which I found really nice. I’ve noticed that the person behind me often stands pretty close, which can make it tricky to collect my change and put my money away. There seems to be a bit of stress in these situations for both customers and staff. It’s fascinating how being in crowded places can sometimes lead to moments of rudeness. With the rising cost of living and service challenges, it’s understandable that people might feel overwhelmed and react in ways they don’t intend to. I imagine staff also feel the pressure from their jobs, which can influence how they interact with customers. As a retiree who loves my regular trips to the market, I’ve become more aware of these dynamics. Sometimes the markets can feel a bit cluttered, and I've noticed expired items on the shelves, which adds to the experience. I believe everyone has their moments, and if we all take a little extra time to be kind, both customers and staff can create a more enjoyable shopping environment together. I do wish that customers would give a little more space and let me finish paying and packing my groceries. It would make the experience so much smoother for all of us!”
“I can’t say enough good things about South Gate Deli. This place is exactly what you want in a neighborhood deli—great food, welcoming atmosphere, and people who actually care about what they’re putting out. From the moment you walk in, you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit. A huge shout-out to Nick the chef, who absolutely crushes it every single time. You can tell right away that he takes pride in his work. The food is always fresh, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or something in between, Nick consistently delivers quality that goes above and beyond typical deli fare. He’s friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what he does, which makes the experience even better. The menu has something for everyone, portions are generous, and everything is made with care—not rushed or thrown together. The staff is fast, polite, and attentive, even when things get busy. It’s the kind of place you end up recommending to friends without even thinking twice. If you’re looking for a reliable deli with great food and an outstanding chef who knows what he’s doing, South Gate Deli is the spot. This place deserves every one of these five stars—and then some.”
“I love Dollar General on main Street in Poughkeepsie. Tara and Gerald keep the store running . They try as hard as they can to make sure those products hit the shelves . I'm always greeted with a smile and I love my people there. So many great finds. Also it's one stop shopping and you can also get gifts as well.”
The Cincinnati-based supermarket giant will open about 110 new stores in fast-growing markets by 2029 and introduce three updated store formats, executives told investors Oct. 20 at the company’s Investor Update in New York. Kroger already runs about 2,700 stores in 35 states. The formats come in three sizes, a bit like small, medium and large, matched to each market.

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.
