Geissler's Supermarkets are family owned. There are currently around six locations across…read moreConnecticut and Massachusetts. The location in Granby is very clean, spacious and well stocked. I'm pleasantly surprised to find that many of the items are better priced than the big box retailers. You'll find an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh flowers, pastries and cakes and much more. Another thing that I appreciate is that many of the items are marked with a "I'm Local" tag, indicating locally made products. These items include honey, coffee, dog food and candles. Geissler's is a great local grocery store, but not a one stop for me.

I was looking for sage sausage- none to be found. They had one roll of sausage but didn't say what kind. I relented an bought good sausage links and just tore the meat out of the casing and added sage to make my dish- but the grocery store had everything else I needed with no problems. Checking out was easy- we weren't local and the cashier zapped his savings card for us. Thank you very much! We were in and out quickly and there as they opened! Which made the process even quicker with hardly any other shoppers in the store!

Always great service and good prices. Local chain that seems to appreciates its customers.read more

We've spent thousands of dollars and minutes at your store and use the self-checkout as an impersonal, quick, and self-sufficient convenience. Now, it's miserable and slow half the time we visit and 50% of the people around us are complaining about the same thing. And to the minimum wage employees working at the store during an already struggling economy and job market, it's sad to see you embrace a technology that is literally and openly aiming to replace you in 5 years. Don't be so naive as to welcome it beside you, no matter what your manager/store owner tells you.

The grounds are stunning and the product is second to none The smell of garlic when you walk in the barn, just hit you like a punch, and you are just drawn in to heaven Well, the tomatoes weren't ready yet. The corn sure was and it looks great. I bought two ears along with of course, some garlic and some jalapeño peppers.

The Garlic Farm is a small family owned farm and farm stand located in West Granby. They specialize…read morein, you guessed, garlic and other vegetables. They have been open for three decades. They offer German white hardneck garlic, seed garlic, garlic bulbs, and garlic braids. The farm stand is in an old tobacco barn. I went a couple times and thought it was awesome. The prices were great and they had a huge variety of produce. One time, they posted on social that the flowers were free to pick. If you love fresh produce and supporting a small business, I highly recommend.

I went to the meat department manager and asked him if he could order Kayem red hotdogs, since…read morethere are none in stock. The store carries Kayem hotdog products in other flavors, so I thought this would be an easy request. Backstory.... Red hot dogs are a big thing in Maine, with Jordan's red hot dogs the most popular finding Jordan's brand in Connecticut is really hard. So I'm thinking Kayem has Red as an available item, but not carried as a regular stock item, this would be something not impossible for the meat manager to order. What could possibly go wrong! Without the meat manager/order placer saying he would first check with his supplier, he just answered no, and didn't even suggest what other stores I could possibly purchase or an alternative suggestion. I would think it would be pretty easy to just ask your distributor, especially since you are a big seller of their product. And I think Kayem would gladly supply Big Y with their request. I am quite disappointed with the way this was handled. Stop & Shop is just up the street. I think I'll start spending my hard earned money there Maybe Geisler's or Fitzgerald's can order them for me And a few days later... Walmart in East Windsor had Jordons Red Hot Dogs! I bought 5 pounds of them!

We don't have a seafood place locally so I was intrigued when Big Y started promoting a fried…read moreseafood opportunity at its store here in town. So I tried it. This is not on the same level as my all-time favorite fried seafood restaurant, Lenny and Joes, but it's also less than a mile from my house and not an hour down to the coastline. Overall, I think that this is a very good fried seafood plate. There are ample fried shrimp, fried scallops, and fried white fish. The batter is light and not greasy. The fries and onion rings are really very good. It also comes with plenty of tartar sauce and ketchup. The Captain's Combo is $25, the bit smaller version is $18, both a good value and delicious for the price! Go to the seafood department at Big Y, takes about 15 minutes to get the take out.

On this occasion I didn't have my water with me, I was super thirsty and I decided to stop by. This is a very nice Cumberland Farms. It is very clean, bright, and spacious with plenty of options one might want to get while on the road. They have sandwiches, doughnuts, coffee and more. There are plenty of snacks, and drink options. I really went in for a water, but I came out with the Bang Energy drink. Most items are more expensive than at a regular grocery store, but it is pretty convenient to pop in here! The Cumberland Farms gas station is also a decent place to get your car filled up. Just like the inside of the store, it is spacious, without being in anyone's way. As expected this isn't the best price for your gas fill. Cumberland Farms will do when you are in a rush.

Outside, there were mums, gourds, pumpkins, etc. We scored some gourds for a dollar each. Inside, it was a lovely place to shop. They had premade soups, pies, meat pies, a bakery, fresh produce, honey, jellies, soaps, shirts, etc. The place was definitely popular, people were in and out constantly. We bought some pastries (pumpkin muffin, blueberry muffin, cake pop) and it was good! The only thing I don't recommend were the cider donuts, they were kind of dry. The cashier was okay, kind of dry also lol, other than that, a good place to get some fresh eats. I'd definitely visit often if I was close by but I'm lucky to have a bunch of these types of stores near me already.

The gas here was $3.59, which is pretty close to the average in Connecticut. I can see from my other friend's reviews the gas across the country is significantly less expensive then what it costs for us here. What can I say? Connecticut is an expensive state. I like how the nozzle locks back into place easily after use. Sometimes I can spend an embarrassing amount of time trying to get it back in for the next person. This gas station had no wait. Easy in and easy out, so you can continue your adventures!

I have to think most people are familiar with these stores, so I won't go into describing everything inside. This is a nice & clean store with friendly staff. I wish the music was kept on a much lower volume setting.
