The prices are absolutely ridiculous and the help is just sad. I know it is hard to find good help, but this was like watching a movie bad. My recommendation is avoid this store if at all possible.

One of the cleaner Ingles I've been to but still lacking on service which correlates back to…read moremanagement not truly working to make sure each employee is trained properly to help customers. We went into this location to shop for a nearby event. The organic fruit/veggie selection was pitiful and I could not find employee a single employee walking the floor to help find specific items. Ingles basically forces you to walk to the very front of the store just to ask for help locating items. When the throat coat tea was missing from the shelf I brought the label up to see if they had additional products in the back...in the front "penalty box" I witnessed four employees having personal conversations when several of those employees could have been helping customers or working a check-out seeing as how each one of the lines, including self-checkout, was 4 - 5 customers deep.

The ready made was what we were after for today because we are going on a hiking trip in this area and wanted to pack our food for the day. They have an excellent section of cut up fruit in container. I will include a picture because you just have to see it to believe it. Great quality and such a good selection. The sushi area had the normal selection and they also had some unique items. They had like a fruit sushi. I am including a picture of course. Yummmm The bakery has so many different items it was like they went inside my brain and picked all my favorite things. I wish we had this store in VA Beach by my house. OOO the read to go sandwiches are fresh made with fancy breads and croissants. They are packed with the condiments on the side so the sandwich does not get messy and soggy. That is exactly how I would want it to be done. Im in love with INGLES. This is my favorite grocery store of all times

Stopped by around 7:15pm hoping to get some chicken salad from the deli, but the salads and meats…read moresection was already closed for the evening. No problem at all, so we came back the next morning around 10:15am. We stood at the deli counter while an employee sliced meats (no one was standing at the counter), completed two items, went to get a third, and eventually walked away. During the entire time we stood there, no one acknowledged us, said hello, or even let us know it would be a few minutes. My husband finally asked if anyone could help, and the employee told him no because he had to finish the current order. What was most disappointing was that there were four or five other employees working in the deli area, and not a single person took a moment to acknowledge us or let us know someone would be with us shortly. We would have been perfectly happy to wait had someone simply communicated with us. We are not from Asheville and do not shop at Ingles regularly, so unfortunately this was our first impression. The issue wasn't that the staff was busy, it was the complete lack of customer service and basic courtesy. A simple "Hi, we'll be with you in just a few minutes" would have made all the difference.

The couple that used to work there was really nice and they always worked with me if I had to return something. Today, it was very disappointing. The store was supposed to close at 5:30 and when I pulled in at 5 o'clock they had already closed up for the day and were leaving. I asked why they were closing and she said it was because it was slow. There was only 30 minutes left and I could've gotten a lot in 30 minutes. Plus, it's a long way to drive out there from where I lived. That's the first time I've ever experienced the store closing early. I guess if I have the time and money to waste on gas I'll have to call ahead of time before I drive all way out there.

Ingles Markets in Fairview, NC is not contributing to Fairview's health or wellness. I only went…read morethere to buy their Harvest Farms plant based sausage pasta sauce, now discontinued. The vast bulk of goods on sale are junk with flour and sugar in the forefront. It is extremely difficult to buy ingredients for healthy meals there. It is annoying to have to make the trek to Whole Foods or Publix in South Asheville but it is a necessity for any kind of healthy diet. Can't you get with it Ingles? Stop discriminating against our community! We are not as unsophisticated and ignorant as you appear to think. Even a small separate section of healthy ingredients would draw me back into your Fairview store.

We went in this Ingles a few weeks ago to load up on snacks because Piazza was not open. This…read moreIngles is small, which I like. Less room means less people. I saw a little clothing for sale by the spirits, which brings a smile to my face. Stuff like that reminds me of Woolworth's. When I went to purchase a muffin, I noticed some things: the muffins were still in the pan they were baked in, and when you removed the muffin from the pan, you could see oil in the muffin mold. Too much oil. One star off for that. However, this Ingles has period products for free in the bathroom. That is huge. That is progressive and compassionate. A lot of people have financial struggles. Sometimes you just forget to replenish your period supplies in your purse. My daughters- both with social anxiety- would never dream of asking anyone for a maxi pad or tampon in a period emergency. We check expiration dates of products before purchase. It has become second nature to us. Expired stuff is everywhere. OCD stockers are needed. While this Ingles does not project overwhelming pep, it still is alright by me.
