This Kroger Store is located in the Providence Square Shopping Center in Virginia Beach. Since…read morethis Kroger is located in a shopping center, it isn't hard to find. My most recent visit here was on January 1, 2026. With this business being in a shopping center, parking was plentiful and didn't have any issues finding a place to park. I don't normally come to this area of the city often. I was here after visiting a business for breakfast, as I try to go to a new to me place every year on January 1st. One thing I noticed up front from the outside is that this looks to be an older location. The storefront and such doesn't look as updated as some of the other locations in the area. The functionality of the store overall is the same as the other locations. My mom and I came in to get some things while we were in that area. This would save us a trip to another place closer to home, so it was convenient in this instance. The inside of the store does look a bit dated, but they had the same general setup that you would expect at any Kroger location. One big difference here was that the staff were quick to ask us what we were looking for, even though we may not have been entirely sure. This was the case with any staff member we interacted with here. With the layout of the store being similar to other locations, the shopping trip didn't take as long we thought it might, since things tend to move around at each location. They were fully stocked on this visit too, which is something I don't always see. The prices are the same as other locations in the area from my experience. Overall, what made this place a better experience was the fact that the staff were proactive at asking us as customers to let us know what we were looking for and how they could help us in our shopping. This is something to this day that I don't see much of any longer. If you're in this part of the city and looking to get groceries and such, this place is a solid option to choose from.

I don't go into Kroger often because I get overwhelmed by crowds. But I wanted to look for ice…read morecream, so I found myself amidst the Kroger chaos!! Lol. The inside was just as crowded as the parking lot. I made my way to the ice cream section where they had a nice amount of ice cream options. But some of those ice cream containers were freezer burnt and icy. Like they've been there for centuries!! I do like that the Kroger brand is pretty cheap and had several flavors. The freezer section has select spots that looked like Antarctica. What in the ice age hell is going on? It's at all the Krogers I've been too. Turn the freezer down y'all!! Lol. The store had a good amount of items and the shelves were stocked. Their meat prices were a little steep on some things. $15 per lb for sandwich meat is something I'm still trying to get used to. But the quality seemed good. I found some big back chicken in the hot and ready section. I didn't feel like cooking so, this was the way to go. The chicken breast were pretty gargantuan in size. The breading was good. The meat inside was slightly bland but I used sauce and it worked out. I'd definitely get the chicken again. It looked appealing also. You'll find clearance items scattered throughout the store. They have a deli and nice bakery inside, as well as a sushi section. I like this Kroger. Check them out!!!

As an Authorized Lampe Burger dealer, they have a great selection of fragrances available. I know that it seems odd that a Cigar Store has home fragrance dispensers but here we are... Emerson's also has a fine selection of premium Cigars available, and even though I don't smoke them myself, I can still appreciate them.

We were lucky to be so close to this cigar lounge when we were staying at a local hotel…read more We were greeted by the guy working when we first walked in. There is a pretty large selection of cigars in the humidor and the prices were not bad, very competitive to other places. While in there, we were asked again if we needed any help. Once we paid for the cigars, the guy cut them since we were going to smoke them there. There were several leather type chairs around two flat screen tvs that the NFL games on, which is what we were after. The chairs have seen better days, but still comfortable to sit in. We could not believe that this place was not more crowded on a Saturday afternoon. They also have a few tables and chairs out front if you want to sit outside. it was just to hot that day for that! I wish i lived closer to this place. If we are in the area again, I will definitely go back!

This has been a go to spot for recent purchases in the electronics section (fitbit and the ring doorbell, both well priced). The place can definitely use an update and expansion, but as mentioned before for a quick pick up of alcohol or snacks it is a good place to stop by especially if you live out in Chesapeake and don't want to drive out to the Norfolk exchange. Reminder this is a Coast Guard Exchange and is tailored as so.

Their prices are average to high but I still go out of my way to buy my vapes here because they carry the flavor and brand I prefer. Not just once, they restock it regularly.

She only backed off when I said I didn't realize the products were not legal anymore, but even then she only gave me a really rude sounding "sorry". Look, if you're going to work in a smoke and vape store in a state where tobacco laws constantly change then you should be understanding when the general public has questions. I've received good service from these ladies before but this phone conversation was honestly the worst customer service experience I've ever had.

Mr. Food Mart is your typical neighborhood corner store but on steroids. I'm not sure how long…read morethey've been in business but I moved to the area in 2002 and they were already a neighborhood fixture. They offer basic grocery items like milk, bread, canned and dry goods, snacks, sodas, beer, etc... You can also find basic health and first aid items, very basic automotive items, tobacco products, etc... Of course they sell all the Virginia lottery tickets and a good variety of scratch-off lottery games as well. The aisles are narrow and crowded and the whole place could probably benefit from a deep cleaning and some updating. So far I've described your average neighborhood corner store but Mr. Food Mart is so much more. You can pay your utility or cell phone bill here, you can cash a check or buy a money order. You can pick up a bag of ice or exchange the propane tank for your gas grill then pump your tire full of air. They also have a deli counter where you can purchase deli meats and cheeses by weight and have them sliced to your preference. Then there's the food. They have a full line of delicious cold and hot subs as well some pretty decent pizza by the slice or get the whole pie. There are no tables or chairs inside or out so it's strictly takeout. To place your order just come on in or call ahead to have it ready when you get there. Hot dogs, hot sausage, bbq - you can get it here and it's pretty darn good. They have a nice commercial pizza oven and they know how to use it. Honestly, their subs are pretty amazing. Try the Club or Fat Boy or or Italian subs. Personally, my favorite is the Philly Cheesesteak. There's plenty of juicy and tender meat seasoned just right on a beautifully toasted roll. It really is outstanding. All their subs come ATW (all the way) with lettuce, tomato, mayo and oil & vinegar. They even put out a pretty tasty gyro. It's loaded with tender seasoned meat and really delicious. The parking lot is mostly adequate but can get pretty crowded, fortunately there are nearby businesses with additional parking so it's never really an issue. Be aware this is a neighborhood store so small groups of people do sometimes congregate outside in front of the store to hang out for a few minutes but it's never a problem. I'm glad to have Mr. Food Mart in the neighborhood, it's a solid choice to pick up some essentials or grab a quick meal.

So, we have never been here before but decided to check it out since Dave has been trying to kick…read morethe habit of smoking. After unsuccessful attempts to include nicotine patches and nicotine gum the only obvious option to try next was vaping... When we first walked in we were greeted by their friendly staff. As soon as we mentioned it was our first time visiting Justin engaged us and was very informative and helpful. He asked Dave several questions to see which options were best for him. He educated us on the different mods. Dave didn't want a big bulky one. Instead he preferred one that could fit in his hand or pocket easily. Justin thoroughly explained all the different mod features. He ended up choosing the Smok AL85 which fit his hand nicely. Next, he sampled a few juices before choosing a flavor. Since he smoked menthols, Justin selected a few juices that contained menthol. After Dave purchased his new mod Justin showed him how to prime it before use. Again, he did a great job explaining the mod and all the different features. I thought it was pretty cool how it has a feature where you can control the amount of puffs you take in a day if you choose to set a limit. He even discussed the "proper" way to vape... with a practice session of inhaling prior to Dave taking his first puff. Overall, we were very satisfied with their service. I'm sure we will be back so stay tuned for my updated review!

They are very knowledgeable of the products they have because every time I see something I wanna buy; I wanna know what it is, what it does, and what it can be used for. If they don't have a certain product in the store I go too, they normally call around to their other shops to hold it for me if they have it, and their other 3 store are 10-15min away from each other. Sometime they have specials going on pieces of glass and artwork. I really like their honor system where you earn a point for each dollar ($) you spend, and you can either choose to get store credit on your points or if you save up enough you may be able to earn a new work of art.

I noticed that it was missing when I got home, so I went back to resolve the issue. The female employee, working on March 22, 2025, just before noon, told me, "that I had put it in my pocket," which was impossible because I was busy counting out my cash as she bagged the items. I decided it wasn't worth it to argue with her about it and left. So, at least this employee is a thief. I would not recommend going to this store for any reason, especially since there are at least five other, HONEST, vape shops less than a mile from this one. Summary: Only go here if you want your money stolen.
