    Decent Hannaford's with some really nice people working. The store is smaller than the Hannafords…read moreI'm used to visiting. But it's clean and well organized. Had some fun banter with some of the staff in the aisles as well as the person who checked me out. Shared funny food stories and what not, I appreciated the time to be welcoming and ensure the customer enjoys the visit.

    After shopping at this Hannafords for over a year, I feel I should point out a couple of details I…read morehadn't experienced early on. It is still great to have a supermarket so close by. The employees are friendly and it is of course more convenient than driving to Newport or even farther. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention what I have noticed over the longer haul. It is of course a small store where this chain is concerned. So we have found they don't have items listed in the sales flyer sometimes, and also that they run out of common items, such as ice cream or, most recently, hamburger and hot dog buns. Now granted it was a holiday weekend, and when I went in on Tuesday morning they had them again, but nowhere near a full shelf. Perhaps their operating budget only allows for them to stock enough if everything is normal, and events like holidays or hot days overwhelm their ordering capacity. Still, I am glad to have them nearby, especially with the current price of gas.

    I am surprised to see I have not left a review here yet, as I have been shopping at P & L for a few…read moreyears since we moved to the area. This two-store chain reminds me of the AG stores that you find in small towns as an option to traveling far to a supermarket or the very expensive convenience store prices. The people working here are friendly and they carry a fair variety of items. They have a team of butchers and two display cases, so there is quite a focus on meats. The meat prices tend to be a bit higher than the supermarket, though not always, and I assume the quality is higher also. They usually have some marked-down meats I sometimes avail myself of also. They even have frozen chicken hearts, gizzards and livers, the last of which I sometimes buy for myself and our cats (my wife can't stand liver). They have excellent bakery items, store-made take home meals, a fair variety of produce, drinks, snacks - well, you get the idea. They have a loyalty program that, since I do the bulk of my shopping elsewhere, doesn't result in many five-dollar off rewards, but it also gives me access to their weekly coupons. The grocery items are usually a bit higher than the supermarkets, which have an increased volume of sales, but perfectly reasonable , nowhere near convenience store pricing. Plus you are supporting a local business. There are also gas pumps off to the side if you want to get that done while you are there.

    The meat seems retail and no longer from local butchers or farmers. The prices are very steep! It's…read morelike comparing convenience store prices to Walmart. It's significantly more expensive. Service is usually pretty good. All the ladies in there are really nice except for one she's kind of moody. But I suppose we all have our days I know I do. The atmosphere is good. It's clean. People are friendly. Basically, the biggest thing is the prices and the fact that the meat doesn't seem to be the same quality it used to be otherwise I would've given him a five stars review.
