Kroger Food Stores

Pretty good shopping here. It’s my local shop when I don’t need to buy in bulk aka at Costco.
I like how they highlight local farms produce with a separate table and I try and buy veggies from here to support the initiative.
I also like that there always seem to be enough staff here working in different sections so that I’ve never had to walk around trying to find help.
One Con however is that I recently tried the self-​service checkout option and OMG, it was a challenge compared to other self-​service options I have used. I took away my bag after finishing swiping the products but it wouldn’t let me pay until I put the bag back — not sure if what the point there was? Also the machine I used kept giving me an error with my credit card chip.
Still will keep going back as lovely service and proximity to my house can’t be beat.
Note: #152 of Unilocal 100 challenge for 2016

I come to this location literally every night. The staff are very nice and it can be kinda messy at times. My only problem with this place is the fact that I’ve picked up food past expiration date before. It gets annoying since I have to go back and return it. (Didn’t look at the dates until after I got home, but now I check) It gets real busy around the afternoon.

I love this store a block away from my job had a bit of a rough day but I got my shopping done so once I checked out the young man asked me did I need service YES he couldn’t have asked at a better time I really needed the assistance he took my items to my car and loaded them up I thank him so much and game e him a tip

I now live closer to this Kroger and so have been coming here more. It’s set up different from the one I’m used to but it seems bigger. I know the produce section is much bigger and more spread out. It’s nice and they have some cheese samples out as well. I enjoy coming here.

This review is for the florist department. The manager of this department is rather rude, impatient, and completely unhelpful. I made the mistake of ordering an arrangement of a dozen roses for Valentine’s Day… I was quoted $ 39 as opposed to the bunches in the case that were $ 19. OK, fine. Valentine’s day comes and I pick up the arrangement… to my shock, it is $ 59! I ask the manager why the discrepancy… she insists I was mistaken about what I was originally quoted. She also mumbled something about the price of the vase, a generic one at best. Since I had no other choice, I just took the damned thing. The kicker was that after two days, it already started dying! I will NEVER make that mistake again. Friggin’ Costco would have been better!

Gets a review just for having Boar’s Head.

This Kroger is not bad.
The biggest plus is that they have a wide variety of Boar’s Head sandwich meats and cheeses.
That’s about it… nothing to get too excited about. It’s a grocery store for crying out loud.

Kroger newly remodeled parking lot, expanded produce and organic foods sections. Lovely cheese counter with helpful staff and fresh sushi. Nice olive bar. Friendly deli counter help with hot or cold choices. Update: rude lady at floral department overcharged for flowers and after 2 days they are already dying so disappointing. The pharmacy has a drive thru and the staff is very helpful. Great deals for extra fuel points when you transfer a Rx or buy gift cards. Steep fuel discounts make it such a bonus to rack up your weekly grocery bill here. They always have many check out lanes open. If you do not see a product you need especially if it’s a dietary issue the manager will order it for you! This is probably one of my favorite stores in Memphis in general. I love to browse the seasonal items and greeting card section. The seafood is fresh and the butcher will cut meat the way you need it. All in all, I feel lucky to have this store right by our house.

I know, it’s kind of lame to review a chain grocery store, but not all Krogers are created equal. And this? This Kroger puts all others to shame, my friends. It’s spacious and organized, it’s amply stocked with the little mini-​buggies and supersized buggies, and it’s got fresh made sushi. Sold.

This is the closest grocery to my house and I usually go here when I have a need for a full shopping trip. It is not my favorite, just a normal grocery, but they usually do have everything I need and this store has expanded its specialty items. That said, my wallet was taken from my purse here. Not their fault and they handled it fine, but I still have bad memories of it.

Well, they finally finished the remodeling of this place and it looks great. It’s now like The Fresh Market but bigger and cheaper. Bigger seafood, meat and produce sections along with a greatly expanded and nicely organized organic food section. Great selection of cheeses and freshly baked breads and the addition of a sushi section.
I love the Fresh Market but it’s expensive, crowded and often doesn’t have everything I need when I shop. It’s nice to see Kroger is finally reacting to the onslaught of these «boutique» style grocery stores.

When it comes to food, I can’t always have a single «go-​to» option. Food changes constantly, and availability always changes as well. To get the freshest stuff and the best prices, you always have to look around. Lately, that is what I have been trying to do.
I went to this Kroger on Sunday to see what it was all about. There is another Kroger slightly closer in the other direction. I wanted to live dangerously that day. Located at the corner of Houston Levee and Winchester, this place seems to be a little newer than the home Kroger. Hell, there is even a «The Little Clinic» attached to it. However, from what it looked like, it didn’t look little. I also appreciated the smokers pole outside of the clinic– A nice oxymoronic touch, IMO.
It was hot as hell that day, and it felt nice to get inside. It was slightly busy, but what do you expect for a Sunday afternoon? I thought it was odd they were stocking produce in the middle of the day, blocking a lot of the aisle, so I skipped the produce (you knew I would anyway :)). One thing I did notice in the next area was they had all of the breads/​rolls/​buns sorted out– that was nice.
Then you had the meats in the back right corner. One thing I have noticed about the Kroger’s here are the lack of hot dog selection. When it comes to tube steak and sausages, I am very picky. Maybe it is my German’s upbringing, but having the majority of your selection being Ball Park just doesn’t do it for me. The last time I had a Ball Park dog, I almost died (then I am starting to wonder if my mom put poison in it…). Enough! Onward…
The next few aisles consist of dry goods and housewares and asseenontv stuff (is this a new thing for Kroger?). My cart usually gets filled in these aisles. Then moving on the cleaning and other fun stuff for the house aisles, I can always find shit I don’t need.
Then it gets interesting– the snacks/​chips aisle. Hell, that aisle was so crowded, I didn’t even bother going down it. I am sure my arteries thanked me for that one. Then next up is the sodas/​waters/​other liquids. And then finally, is the dairy and the frozen goods. It is interesting because the frozen goods here are perpendicular to the rest of the aisles, and they are shorter. I noticed that in the other Kroger too. Not sure the intention…
The biggest upset was seeing that all of the beer was shrouded– I guess it is still unlawful in TN to buy booze on Sundays. Hell, even GA of all places passed that law last year! Let a drunk get his beer…
Then last but not least the front left corner is the pharmacy and all of the cosmetics and stuff. Somedays I can spend hours here, sometimes none at all– this visit I didn’t.
There are plenty of self checkouts and cashiers here, and the lines seemed to be moving. I am not a fan of the self checkout, as I usually screw something up. I also like talking to someone when I spend a hefty amount on groceries. Speaking of spending hefty, it was interesting that my card got denied, then instantly approved. I later found out, that I got charged $ 1 for the card getting denied, that was interesting… I wasn’t the one who denied the card?! Thank you, fraud protection.
No one took my groceries out, and I am not sure If it is a service here– but for a busy Sunday afternoon, I kept the whole trip under an hour. On some areas, I wish there was a bigger selection of items, but when it comes to food, I can be a huge snob– but hell, there is a reason I spent the last 10 years of my life learning all about food and what it has to offer!
Is this the best Kroger I have been to? Nope. In the city? I guess so. But I will keep looking around and changing it up, but this will be a solid option in case I need to get the necessities I cannot find elsewhere…

It’s a good store, we live near by and it feels like your neighborhood store not like all the running around Walmart gives you. I like the drug store, I was waiting in line with my 2 very tired children and an elderly man jumps right in front of me. As I waited for another 10 min the pharmacist came from around the corner and offered my children some lollipops to comfort them, that was going way beyond your pay!

UMM No… No one wants to go Krogering. Poor brand selection. Lot of Kroger cheap brand. We need a real Grocery in Colliervile. All of Grocery I have ever been to are huge and well lit… not sure what you all are doing in Yankeeland. Yall could have Kroger.

Holy Hell, food stores up north have nothing on this place. It’s huge, well lit, well organized and has a great selection.
I was wandering around checking stuff out (recent transplant to TN) and several staff members asked if I needed help and chatted with me about the move.
The produce selection was amazing. They also offer a Kroger’s card where you can get points towards gas discounts.
