Ingles Markets is a convenient grocery store that offers a good selection of products at decent prices. Customers appreciate the helpful and friendly staff, especially at the self-checkout, where employees like Erik go out of their way to assist by pulling apart bags for easier use. The store is generally clean and provides many vegan and vegetarian options, as well as a popular Starbucks. It is a favored spot for regular shoppers, including visitors who rely on it for their weekly needs. However, some concerns have been raised about food freshness, with reports of expired items and inconsistent produce quality, including old or limp produce and questionable seafood. The store’s hours are a bit limited, closing at 11 pm instead of later, which is a drawback for those needing late-night shopping, especially for beer and groceries. Customers also note that the deli staff can be hard to find, often distracted or busy elsewhere, and caution is advised when selecting seafood due to occasional freshness issues. Despite these points, Ingles remains a valued shopping location for many in the area.
The prices are slightly higher than other stores, however when they go on sale they are significantly cheaper, and there is always large sales running every week. The variety is also very very high despite being smaller than most supermarkets.
