Hanover (local) green peppers
Lisa C.

I will lead with I am a huge fan of Pole Green Produce. I get a little sad when they close for the season, but I would hardly call it a local stand. Yes, they have a lot of local (Virginia) products but they also sell a host of products branded the same as what you find at a better price in the local grocery store. I say this not as a criticism but to provide an accurate description of the products. I understand that it is impractical to run an operation this size selling only local products: growing seasons are simply too short in Virginia. Pole Green Produce sells both VA and SC peaches. The SC peaches I bought last week we're cold from refrigeration but sitting out in 90-degree temperatures. As a result, they were only good for about a day. I bought them knowing this and prepared to use or freeze them ASAP. It is important to note that Pole Green Produce clearly labels the origins of their products. On the other hand , I think their labeling of their payment policy is deceptive. There is a large-print sign at each register stating that they offer a 3.5% cash discount but when you read the longer, smaller font explanation says that they add a surcharge. These are two very different policies resulting in a seemingly deceptive practice.

So many beautiful pumpkins

We were driving by and noticed all the pumpkins in front and stopped in...I'm so glad we did! At the moment, Pole Green Produce has so many pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, mums, apples and other local produce. The prices for the pumpkins and mums are so much cheaper than Lowe's or the big box stores. We were only there for a few minutes but I will absolutely be back to pick up some local produce (eggs, fall vegetables, honey) soon!

I went here for the first time the other day and it was SO fun!!! They have tons of fresh fruits and veggies, and lots of different jams, jellies, and honeys! They were really nice at checkout, and we didn't spend a ton of money, but got a lot of nice produce. Definitely going back when I can! I only got two pictures, but the eggplants were such a vibrant purple I couldn't resist lol.

So many beautiful plants to choose from!!

I love supporting local small businesses. Pole Green Produce is a charming little road side produce stand with lush plants and farm fresh veggies!! This place has fresh out the water oysters and crab meat along with homemade baked goods. The vibrant flowers, friendly staff, and hand written signage all come together to create the perfect storm of pleasant even in the midst of a global pandemic!

Hell-OOOO Kroger! You're like the girl (guy) next-door I never noticed was hot and then suddenly it…read morewas like, "oh my! How did I not notice?" Except in this case the hot guy/girl is VEGAN OPTIONS. I just stopped in for broccoli which every grocery store has, but then I wandered around, and stumbled upon the unbelievable selection of nondairy cheeses and meat-free deli slices, the old favorites plus plenty of brands that this vegan-of-20+ years has never even seen before. Very IMPRESSIVE. Now I simply had to check out the frozens and DANG if there aren't FIVE full cooler sectionals of plant based meats. All the usual suspects: Gardein, Boca, MorningStar, etc- only even more variety than I usually find elsewhere. OK, obligatory peek at the plant-based milk section. GEE GOLLY WOW. Once again, FIVE full refrigerated sections, top to bottom. You got your oat milk, soy milk, nut milks, vegan creamers, it's all here!! Feel like Kroger has just been hiding its treasure trove of vegan goodness from me and I don't understand. Why didn't anybody tell me? Their public branding is aesthetically so offputting I just assumed the store would be an extension of that annoyance... but if I could go back and change every "5-Star" grocery store I've ever reviewed up until now instantly to a four star just so this review stood out, surely I would. Anyway, finally, we come to the cherry on top: CAST IRON city!! I'm a huge fan of cast-iron and always on the lookout for interesting new pieces, typically there's nothing unique at a grocery store if they have cast-iron at all. But WOWZERS the Lodge display here is incredible. Such variety of pots and skillets, from tiny saucepans, to huge pizza trays, plus the equipment to maintain it in tiptop shape. The store is clean / spacious / well lit / well laid out, in addition to everything else, great prices. It's actually a pleasing place to shop. Even the guy monitoring self-checkout was awesome. Sigh. I really wish there was a Kroger near me. YES: VEGAN FRIENDLY, VEGAN HAPPY

There are things I love about this one and things that are not great…read more What is working: Good organic choices If shopping in store great opportunities for clearance items Store is clean and spacious Drive up service for groceries Gas discounts What's not working: Service-the customer service here is overall poor. Cashiers not greeting, discussing issues with coworkers to other coworkers in front of customers and etc. The cheese section-I can't buy fresh cut cheeses here as they always have picked up a weird flavor like they were packaged in the detergent aisle. I'm not sure where they are prepped or what it is but no matter which cheese you select they have this weird flavor addition of cleaner/laundry detergent. I'm speaking specifically to the ones near the produce section that are wrapped in plastic, weighed and labeled. Stick with Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Wegmans or ALDIs if you're looking to create a cheese board. Regardless of the negatives overall it's a solid location and the negatives don't stop me from shopping here regularly.

I wish there was an option for zero stars. I don't come to this store often because I do not live…read morelocally, but every time I do there is a problem. If you need help with anything, especially with self check out-you have to go ask for help and they will all look around at each other and argue over who is going to help. The food often rings up incorrectly compared to the signage and when you ask for it to be corrected, prepare to have a full on debate to get it fixed. The customer service is extremely lacking in this store and the attitudes are terrible.

Kroger's Struggles and Customer Relations Issues…read more Kroger, one of America's largest grocery chains, has been facing severe challenges following a failed merger. The company has already been forced to close some of its stores, and even more changes are expected amid continued economic uncertainty. Pressure from competitors only adds to the strain, but many of Kroger's difficulties stem from its own management decisions and poor customer-service practices. Chronic Out-of-Stock Problems One of the biggest frustrations for customers is Kroger's inability to keep popular items in stock. Time and again, advertised sale items are unavailable--either because management fails to order sufficient quantities or because there is a belief that customers will settle for higher-priced substitutes. Unlike many competitors, Kroger often refuses to issue rainchecks on out-of-stock sale items. This leaves customers frustrated and discouraged from returning. Even more frustrating is that raincheck policies vary from store to store. Some managers do not issue them at all, while others impose arbitrary limits (5 items at one location, 20 at another). When customers escalate complaints to Kroger's corporate office, the issue is simply routed back to the same store management, and rarely addressed in good faith. Restrictive Coupon Policies Another unpopular policy is Kroger's handling of its "buy 5, save more" promotions. Customers are only allowed to use the offer once per week, even though the sale runs for seven days. Most other retailers allow repeat use during the promotion period, but Kroger's restrictive rule forces customers to either make multiple trips or miss out entirely. This practice gives the impression that Kroger is more interested in protecting margins than rewarding loyalty. Customer Service Barriers Adding to the frustration is Kroger's limited customer service hours. While stores are typically open until 11 PM, the service desk often closes around 8 PM. This prevents shoppers from returning items, obtaining rainchecks, or resolving pricing errors during evening hours--a significant inconvenience. Shoppers also report that too many locations operate with only one staffed register at a time, pushing customers toward self-checkout whether they want it or not. Price Competitiveness Concerns Kroger heavily advertises "lower prices," but in practice, many competitors beat them. For example, 12-packs of name-brand soda at Kroger often run $10.95 each, with promotions like "buy 2, get 2 free" (bringing the price down to $5.47 each) or "buy 2, get 3 free" ($4.38 each). By comparison, other retailers regularly sell the same brands for $8.55 per pack, or three for $12.00, and also provide store coupons ($5 off $25) plus frequent manufacturer coupons ($2-3 off three 12-packs). The net cost can drop as low as $2.66 per pack--far below Kroger's sale pricing. Kroger rarely offers manufacturer coupons that can be stacked with store promotions, raising questions about whether management is keeping supplier discounts instead of passing them on to customers. Bottom Line If Kroger wants to stop its decline, it must address these deep-rooted management issues. The retailer's top-down approach, dismissive attitude toward customer complaints, restrictive coupon policies, and inconsistent service are driving shoppers elsewhere. Without meaningful reform, Kroger risks losing even more ground to competitors who treat their customers with fairness and respect.
