Shaw’s

I don’t understand some of the negative reviews. Okay, some of the employees seem disgruntled some of the time, but hey, they’re working in a grocery store, cut them a break. Can you imagine some of the Trashua people they have to deal with in here? I work nearby and often go in to grab something quick from the deli for lunch. Compared to other Shaws’ Ive been to they offer the most choices. I’ve never been to any other Shaws that offers freshly made pizza. I live on the Seacoast, and frankly, the pizza at this Shaws is better than most specific pizza joints near my house. They also have a good selection of chicken, potato wedges, etc. And the salad bar is huge and always stocked. I guess I’ve been lucky, but I’ve always had a good experience here. Everyone knows you don’t shop at Shaws for your bulk amount of weekly groceries. You go to MB for that. But I think Shaws’ bakery cookies are much better! And their Italian bread. So yummy and soft.

This Shaws has a lot of problems. My first issue is with the poor customer service. Everyone is so miserable here and they could care less if the customer is taken care of. The self checkout never works right. I wish they would fix this as I would rather check out myself than deal with the nasty cashiers and baggers. The baggers need training to bag the groceries (cans do not go on bread!) As far as the sales… this is my main issue here. If an item has a sign that says 3 for $ 10, and I buy 1, then I should have to pay a third and not the regular price because somewhere hidden in the store is a sign that says I must buy 3. Prices need to be clearly marked and this includes shelf tags. It is NOT the customers responsibility to have to go through the sales flyer and/​or read all the scattered signage. The managers need to be more attentive to these problems here. This store is local for me and because of all the issues I will take 2 busses and go to market basket just to avoid the hassles. BTW the customer is always right does NOT apply to this Shaws… I went to customer service several times to have a price corrected and they do not want to help you. I just want to get in and out as fast as possible and they do not make it a pleasant experience.

Pricing has become far more competitive than it has been and I’ve been noticing more and more regular prices that are within reason. Sales here are now pretty good. They are making all the right moves. Still, there’s some pricing to further reduce but I can see why they aren’t doing it too drastically.
Worth shopping here now to get away from the super-​crowded Market Basket.

always takes so long to checkout at this location. never have enough cashiers and no baggers. Also have tried the self checkout which also has long lines and I always need someone to come over because of issues with my order!

I shop here only when I need to pick up something after going to the gym, which is unfortunately far more often than I’d like. This Shaw’s is pretty terrible for the reasons mentioned in previous reviews. However, the jacked-​up prices are particularly distasteful because this is the only supermarket in downtown Nashua. The prices might be marginally better than those in the bodegas. Therefore, the people who live in the Tree Streets who don’t have cars (a large percentage, I’m betting) pretty much have no place else to go that doesn’t entail a lengthy bus ride full of transfers and surly co-​passengers. Shaw’s can therefore profit off these people with said high prices and lame selection. Hooray capitalism!

Overpriced for being located in a bad part of town, and the layout is just odd. I avoid going here at all costs.

Overpriced, mediocre selection and ugly. Try finding sparkling water here that doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup in it :(
I have left here and headed across town to Hannaford a number of times.
To top it off they want you to carry a stupid orange card on your keys. Sorry charlie, not happening.
