They stand by their products an offer a money back guarantee which is reassuring since food is so expensive. I have never had to use it though because I've never had anything bad from the grocery store. On this particular day, Friday, I visited with some friends who had never been before. It was busy, but the staff was very helpful and friendly and efficient. Our wait time in line was minimal and I was able to grab a few new products that I haven't seen before. I will always stop in if I'm in the area. it's a breath of fresh air.

Everyone who works there seems like they have fun, and the selections are unique and often delicious. I didnt take a picture of it but if you get a chance to try their peanut butter and jelly beer then do it! It was amazing! I did, however, take a picture of the peonies I got my girl. They have so many flowers to choose from and they are affordable. It is easy to get something she likes.

Dealt with the bakery. My daughter ordered a cake for her wedding. Gave a photo of how she wanted…read moreit decorated. Was assured they could do it. What was presented was a mess and looked like a young child got to play with icing. We ordered a round cake. But was square and an epic fail. The girl at the bakery offered to fix it and make it right within an hour to an hour and a half. The second cake is beautiful. She did a great job. It looked like the picture we sent. The bakery manager was very unprofessional. Upon checking out, I found that the cake was now $12 more than what was quoted. When I inquired about the price difference, I was told it was because they had to make 2 cakes and the price reflects the amount of icing used. Don't waste your time or money. That icing isn't made of gold and should not drive up a price. No effort made to reconcile the problem. One person made a wedding day start off very stressful.

There are always fun things to try at Super G Mart. Today we came to restock our chili crisp and…read morerice vinegar but left with a few other new things to try. One was the fun Korean drinks. They recently started stocking cups of ice so you can have a cold drink on the go. We tried the Melon Ade with Lychee jelly and it was really refreshing and delicious. I would definitely recommend giving some of the drinks a try the next time you stop in. We also tried a sweet cheese bar found in the refrigerated section. They had several flavors and we tried the coconut almond and chocolate caramel. I did not like the chocolate caramel at all but the coconut almond was really good. We have a few other items we are going to try later so I'll have to post more photos once I give them a try.

They have very little selection though the quality of the items is good. The prices are also good. This has been my year to grocery shop frugally so I have ventured out from my traditional Harris Teeter, Fresh Market, and Lowe's Foods. In the world of budget-friendly grocery stores, Aldi falls below Super Walmart and Food Lion. It's probably worth a trip down the aisles if you don't have a specific shopping list. I may return, but not likely.

Food Lion spent so much on remodeling this store. The store is great, but the front help is as bad…read moreas it has always been. You now have "full service" lines, but it is a waste. I am 71 years old and stopped going to Food Lion because the cashier and bag personnel would stand around and wait for me to get my groceries out of the buggy. That infuriates me. I went in this morning. There were two "full service" lines open. I went to the one that was not busy. The cashier just stood there and looked at me. I finally started taking my groceries out of the buggy. A second person, male bagger, walked up and also waited until there was one bottle of salad dressing left and he reached in and got it out. Really? I started using Lowes Foods about 10 years ago because of this problem. For sure I am going to continue all my business there where the personnel are friendly, helpful and more than happy to assist a 71 year old woman. Shame on you Food Lion!!

At the entrance near produce, I noticed a line for Amazon drop-off. The line was a bit long & made it a bit of a task to enter the store but Amazon customers were nice and made room for incoming traffic. You can also use your phone number associated with Amazon to receive discounts at check out. I browsed and decided on the Atlantic salmon & shrimp. The staff were pleasant and helpful. They still advertise the $12 for 12 oysters that is available on Friday's. I don't come here often enough. I like how helpful the staff were. I couldn't find a particular cheese that I wanted and the staff working the area was kind enough to give some helpful recommendations. I only needed a few things, as Whole Foods can get a bit pricey, I was able to find a couple of sales on items I needed. The store overall appeared to be organized and tidy.

I will say, however, that they have a great selection of vegan/vegetarian deli meats like the corned beef, was really good on my pizza this weekend and other items that I look forward to trying. One of my main purchases here is always there corn on the cob in the frozen section. I don't know if it's because it's non-GMO, but it has a really good flavor and usually it's the only place I will buy one on the cob. Lots of other great items that they're selling bar and their food bar in the back as well.

This location opened at 8 am & I arrived shortly after this time. The place was quiet, other than workers passing by and greeting each other as they prepared for the day. It appeared to be tidy and well organized. I even took a quick glimpse at their beauty and some oral hygiene items during my visit. I will return to purchase some natural toothpaste & natural soaps I found today. The herbs and teas were all self serve & the clean scoops they provide for each use is nice. The area also has hand sanitizer and pens to write the names and codes for each selection. This also allows for a smooth checkout experience. I would agree that some items are priced on the higher end. Glad I dropped in today. You can also sign up for their newsletter as you exit.
