Kroger

You can get your food shopping done here for sure, they have a pretty good selection of sushi, anti-​pasta, fried foods and a decent bakery. This location is much better than the other Krogers, but dang the prices can be high for some common stuff. :(

Three stars means I will be back. However when I go to this Kroger it is a matter of convince that’s all. I am not a big fan of this place. It’s seems to always be crowded and the selection on the inside is ok. What do you mean by ok? Well this store has a lot going on let’s start with the sushi line, or the granola bar or the large deli. I feel like all this extra fluff takes away from the actual store. I had a difficult time finding some cucumbers adjust the other day. I was like really really! No cucumbers
But they organic everything else and a full flower station. Like I said more fluff than anything.

I was excited that this Kroger was getting a bulk item section as we don’t have a whole foods or sprouts anywhere near here. The problem is this store put it in but never keep it stocked! No bags one week. No nuts another week. I always have to hunt someone down to help me when I couldn’t find bags or labels. The management at this store is also bad. One of those times when I needed assistance there were 3 managers at the deli tables behind me and not a one asked if I needed help. I could definitely hear their conversation, complaining about employees or someone working with them. I really would give a higher rating if they would do their jobs.

I’m new to town and still looking for a reliable grocery. I loved the Kroger in Athens, Ohio so I had high hopes for this one given its rather ritzy location. The store is nice inside – and spacious. Otherwise it’s a pretty standard Kroger until you see the produce and meat sections, both of which were big disappointments and the reason for this negative review. The produce was picked over, expensive, and there was a very limited selection. At least two pieces of the produce I bought were «bad» when I cut into them after taking them home. I mean, really? $ 1.79 for a single (non-​organic) red bell pepper with a patch of mold inside?
As far as the meat, there were very few organic or antibiotic/​hormone free options, which is all I buy. I was pretty much limited to their Simple Truth brand, which hasn’t impressed me much in the past. At the Kroger where I used to live, I had several better, cheaper options besides the Kroger line.
Overall, this Kroger is in a great location, but the quality of the store isn’t what I hoped for. Guess I’ll be sticking with Giant Eagle.

This Kroger is very convenient for me because I live in the Cheat Lake area, but the grocery store is very disappointing overall.
Pros: Their non-​perishable item selection is great. They have lots of ethnic ingredients, pet supplies, etc. The deli counter carries top of the line Boar’s Head, which is fantastic. Next to the deli counter, there is a «chefs» station where you can take a meal to go. Everything is made fresh daily, so that’s a nice touch.
Cons: Their produce is the worst in town. It is always decrepit looking and rarely fresh. The butcher case is hit or miss. I have found some decent steaks in there, but the overall quality and selection is sad for the price you pay. The meat selection in general (not in the butcher case) is hit or miss, too. Stocking seems to be an issue because they are often out of the things I want like whole chickens or pork tenderloins. The staff could be a little nicer as well.
Basically, I only go to this Kroger for convenience. If i’m on the other side of town for an appointment, I will opt for Giant Eagle!

As of Sept 2014, the Earth Balance vegan popcorn and puffs are no longer available. I must have been the only one buying them. The co-​op in downtown Morgantown however does carry EB snacks!

Location, location, location. Get a Kroger card and save some money. Get stuff here you can’t get at Alidi’s downtown. They have reduced stuff hidden in places– just have to know were to look. As I said go to Alidis and get the basics then come here. Gas station in the same shopping center. Convenient if you live in the hip 705 area.

I totally empathize with former reviewer Dave’s experience with the skunked beer. Something like that could definitely turn me off to this Kroger — but for the time being, I have to share my experience as a ballast to the current, far from indicative 1-​star rating.
First of all, shopping for groceries in Morgantown is not a straightforward endeavor. I’ve been to the Walmart, Target, Giant Eagle, and campus Kroger… and none of them compare to the quality of the produce and the extensive selection at this Kroger. In Huntington, WV — my hometown — there is one Kroger (clean, neat, Starbucks within) that the locals refer to as the «Gucci Kroger.» For my money, Morgantown’s Gucci Kroger is this one, in the Suncrest Town Centre.
Their beer and wine selection is impressive, their selection of organic goods excellent, and the helpfulness of the staff above average. With the exception of my weekly visit to the Morgantown Farmers’ Market, which I highly recommend to any and all Morgantonians, this is my one-​stop shop for all things groceries.
In the context of Morgantown, I suppose this is the only 5-​star option. In good conscience, however, I can only give 4-​stars, having been spoiled by the likes of Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. This location is open 24 hours/​day, and I love visiting on a weeknight (Tuesday seems to have the best selection and the smallest crowds).

The store is large compared to the average grocery store. It is quite easy to get to and parking is always plentiful. I usually shop here and here are some pros and cons:
Pros: 1. You hardly ever have to stand in a long line waiting to be checked out.
2. In addition to groceries they have lots of other household items like furniture and dishes.
3. The isles are nice and wide and are seldom, if ever, cluttered with in-​isle displays.
Cons: 1. The prices are the same as in the large cities. There is no «lower than average cost of living» WV discount.
2. After about 10 pm it is self-​checkout only.
All in all, I enjoy shopping here, the staff are always helpful, and there really isn’t any alternative (also known as Wegmans, or Whole Foods) in the town.

So I got some skunky beer at this Kroger and tried to return it, but they told me that «they don’t accept beer returns.» Now, I’ve gotten a bad batch of beer 10 or so times in my life. I know what the beer I buy should taste like and sometimes it gets a lot of heat or sun and turns out tasting skunky. It happens. However, when your supermarket won’t take it back when it does, that’s a problem. I’ve returned beer to a Kroger before, but this one won’t do it. I highly recommend you buy your beer elsewhere because if it turns out to be bad, you’re stuck with it (or you just have to throw it away like I did). Ugh. I’m buying my beer elsewhere.
