“Daves Fresh Marketplace is exactly what the name suggests. Fresh food and lots of it. They have fresh fruit and Veggies. Meats, fish, and seafood. As well as all of those things, you can also pick up freshly prepared meals of all varieties. There's also pizza made to order, sandwiches, and fish as well as chips on Fridays. While you're there, don't forget to pick up your free cup of Daves coffee. If you ask me, it's better than some of the nearby specialty stores brand nearby. The coffee is still worth stopping for”
“Superb inventory of glass accessories and E Cigs. Always on top of the market trends. Very good customer service Over all awesome experience. They are open from 6am till midnight.”
“Great little shop down from where I live, its amazing and clean but there are not price tags for most of the items on shelf's. Prices are higher than most gas stations or mini marts. A chicken yakisoba was 3.00 dollars and a can of cherry Pepsi was 2.00 it came to a total of 5.11 not that bad. Overall it is a nice mini mart and I would recommend if you live nearby to stop by and see what's in store.”
“Nice convenience store. Plenty of gas pumps, and easy in and out. Nice and clean on the inside, with plenty of space to move about. Prices a little higher than Cumbys, but they have big and double gulps.”
“Shout out to store employee (possibly name SHEA ) at shell gas station on ten road road. You deserve a million dollars. I sent my nephew in the store with my card (that was declined) I accidentally gave him the wrong card. He comes out and the guy let him go, (paid for his items). I gathered the only cash I had $10 at the time and made sure to give it to him. His whole entire face lit up and he didn’t want to take it. You could tell he appreciated me coming back into the store to recognize his kind gesture more then he did for the xtra couple of bucks. It’s people like that, that make the world a better place. #payitforward #ilovemycommunityP.s if I ever win the lottery I promise you I’ll be back to give you that million dollars.”

“Dear Pharmacy Staff, In a world that seems to be more and more desensitized, dismissive, and detached from the personal needs of others, a world where accommodations once made for individuals are a distant memory. My recent experience with your pharmacy staff was ingratiating, thoughtful, insightful, and professional beyond words; I just felt it was necessary to express my tremendous gratitude. I stopped by to pick up my prescriptions only to discover that my prescription insurance carrier had left the state in December, and I was never notified. Your staff was incredibly gracious as I fumbled through trying to understand what had taken place while I faced a $500 charge for the blood pressure medication I needed, which should have been a $2 copay. I raced home to grab my insurance information, assuming there must be some type of error, when I discovered my carrier had left the state and I was left uncovered for my prescription needs. I spent an hour researching the possibilities and found another carrier that I qualified for since mine had left, and I immediately reestablished insurance for my prescriptions, which won’t start until March 1. To my amazement, I received a call from your staff; I had left my credit card behind, and it was in a safe place until I returned. I explained my insurance issue and stated I needed to hold off on the new medication until March 1st when it would be covered, and I was heading back to the pharmacy. To my astonishment, understanding my crisis, they were able to assist tremendously in reducing the cost of the medication I needed without even being asked, so I could begin the treatment immediately that I desperately needed. This might sound like a small thing to most, but in today’s world, where customer service is often just a disenfranchised AI response, being cared for and having my needs met by such an ingratiating staff meant the world to me. Thank you all for the incredible job you do and for the magnificent standard you hold for caring for those you serve. Joseph”
“I love coming to this CVS! Well kept and clean store, and employees are always happy to help you around. Chelsea helped me get my flu shot and was very informative with the process! Will be coming back again soon.”
“Tammy is a great Associate at Walgreens North Kingstown. I was impressed with her patience dealing with customers. She is knowledgeable and presents a very nice character. She handled my photo order today; with great results. She should be valued as a fine employee.”
“Stopped but to fill up the tank and run the car thru the car wash. It is conveniently located near homegoods and dave's so for that 5 stars! The gas was, well plentiful and there waiting for me, and the car wash did its thang and rinsed the winter blues off my car. Everything was clean, in working order and I didn't have to talk to or see a single person for both transactions. If you are driving by and need to fill up or rinse the winter off your car. Stop here and get it done!”
