Genuardi’s Family Markets

Closed June 2012 and re-​opened as a Weis’. Will review under Weis’.

Genuardi’s is my go-​to grocery store in the area. Acme is a mess and Giant is a bit too expensive for me so Genuardi’s gets my business. Overall, they have a great selection at very reasonable prices. They are convenient since they also have a great hot foods section, a Starbucks, and a video rental box ($ 1 per day). I’ve been there so much that I know where everything is so I’m in and out. The staff is generally nice and I’ve never had any issues. Their produce is pretty fresh and they even offer organic fruits and veggie’s too. My only compliant is that they used to accept competitors coupons but when I tried to use a $ 5 off coupon (that was for Shop Rite) recently, they said they no longer accept them. That’s a bit of a bummer. Otherwise, still a good local grocery store.

I shopped at Genaurdi’s in Doylestown on Friday, May 13^th. I have been shopping on and off at this location for eight years, and tonight was my worst experience there. Upon getting a cart from outside, I realized it was covered in yellow pollen. I thought I could clean it off with the complimentary wipes that they offer at the door, but the container was empty. Many items in the produce section were out of stock, and the homemade bread choices were sparse. There was a liquid spilled in the middle of an aisle, and the shelves were not orderly. When I checked out, the woman was outrageously slow. She slowly scanned each item and talked excessively with the person working in the checkout next to her. With some items she actually stopped, stared at the package, and commented about the item, talking about it for some time before moving on to the next item. I was not at all pleased with my experience there, and I’ll be returning to Wegeman’s next week.

I come to Genuardi’s a lot to pick up the basics… but if I really want to ENJOY my shopping, I’ll go to Wegman’s. The Genuardi’s prices are far too high… it’s nice that there’s a Starbuck’s inside though.

The pharmacy here is great, very professional service. Heck, they even greet me by my name, if you can believe that!!! Now, that never happened at some of the pharmacies in the area! Very impressive.
I agree with the previous poster about the pizza, and about Wegmans!
I like the little food court, and always find something there for a fast, and yummy bite to eat if the drive to Wegman’s is to far. No disappointment as far as food goes in the food court. The cheese pizza is good.
I would like it better if the cash register at the food court area was open all day, rather than just at lunchtime.
Layout of the store is awkward, esp. if you are not familiar with the bulk of the groceries being to the left of the store, near dairy. Meat selection is good, and I like the butcher shop there. For seafood, I go to Acme. Excellent bakery dept. Produce tends to be higher, but they carry some organic produce. They had organic cranberries this holiday season.
Prices tend to be higher.
Some-​but not all– of the cashiers can be very slow and somewhat unprofessional. I notice this more since the store was bought out.
