Shaw’s

It’s –so– hard to find a nice supermarket around this area! The Walmart and Stop&Shop by me are really less than desirable (even though I do like these chain stores in other areas). This Shaw’s is like an Oasis in my Food Desert (see what I did there?!). I really enjoy the entrance of the store, how it presents you into an open area of fresh produce, and the layout of the rest of the store. This is a very large supermarket, and actually has nice products to purchase outside of groceries (ex: Red Sox merchandise, patio furniture, coolers etc.). I think the only two things I don’t enjoy is that they do not serve Boar’s Head deli meat, and that they do not have a rewards system like Stop&Shop Fuel Points. I definitely recommend!

I shop here every week, sometimes even twice a week.
On the receipt, it said to complete a survey to enter a $ 100 gift card.
I did, and I wrote down what I didnt like and all sorts.
I got a CALL from Shaw’s regarding my answers. I felt like I was being interrogated, seriously.
I thought these surveys were just honest opinions so Shaw’s can discuss with their headquarters or whoever to make it better, why call and ask tons of questions?
I felt so embarrassed like he made me feel bad about doing the survey.
Never going back here, so so embarrassed and felt like I did something wrong.
All I wanted was a chance to win a gift card.

terrible customer service from the cashier who dumped our basket of produce on the conveyor belt and then dropped our basket on the next customers groceries with a snappy «put this under the counter» order. she continued to provide terrible service by talking almost under her breath about how much we had inconvenienced her by not unloading the basket. my advice: go to stop ‘n’ shop.

I’m definetly more of a Dave’s market
Girl. I only go to shaws if I need one thing quickly because it’s on my way
Home from work. I find the prices reasonable but as far as service
Goes it sucks. Sorry for the poor
Choice of words but it’s true. There’s generally one register and four self scans open so you pretty much have to check
Yourself out. Which is fine. As I wandered the aisles looking for my candied walnuts I walked by about five associates. Not one said hello or even smiled at
Me. They often run out of sales items which is why I don’t do my main shopping there. I prefer Dave’s market but if you need something in a pinch it’s easy to get down and aisle and get what you need.

I like this store a lot. It is very close to my house with just about everything I need. I love their produce section, that always has all fresh fruits and veggies. I particularly like that they always have sales on meats. I buy a lot of grilling meats here and I’m always happy with the quality and price. The store is always clean and people are usually friendly. There have been a few instances where the cashiers don’t know that certain items are on sale when they ring up as full price. Other than that I like going to this Store and I will definitely return very soon.

How do I say this without adding fuel to the fire? Well to start the parking lot is horrible, never a day that you can easily park. The parking lot is made horribly and the people make it 100 times worse because they can’t drive .
This store is always packed with some of the most ignorant people you will ever meet, this store must rub off on people, because the employees are horrible them self. Nobody ever had answers and nobody ever wants to help.
So today I was in the do it yourself checkout lane, and God knows how much these things act up, like every single time someone uses it. I was scanning my stuff and bagging it, now I had a cake and water which I couldn’t bag obviously, because the cakes top was messed up and I didn’t want to damage the cake and the water didn’t need a bag. Anyways, so the machine was being stupid and I called a employee over well she was the rudest piece of work I ever met in my life I’m so mortified that I didn’t get her name. I told her excuse me I need help and her response was, well your moving stuff around so the machine doesn’t know what’s going on. Hold up? Excuse me? So I pretty much told her off and told her where to go. Ignorance gets ignorance in return .
Needless to say I will never shop at this location again and I’m going to call the store and file a complaint right at this moment.

Best mid-​sized grocery in the area. I use it for my first shopping and then go to others if needed for missing items. Prices are good and their three day sales make stocking up easy. Also, the no «member card» approach is a good way to let me shop what I want and get reasonable pricing without being «tracked» by the store.

Usually there are some great sales at Shaw’s and prices overall are pretty competitive. Sad to see some of them closing up around, but glad that this one is still around. Getting here is pretty easy with a designated bus stop and three different entrances into the plaza. Customer service desk has been decent, except for one issue that was a bit annoying (they ran out of a promotional item that I had earned by collecting stamps and kind of shrugged it off, but I pushed and received a credit). Overall a dependable grocery store, open pretty late.

Now that I think of it, there are only two Shaw’s that I remember in the northern part of the state, this one in NoPro, and one in Cranston. They’re slowly going out of style, but hey, y’know what, this store isn’t half that bad.
Reminiscent of Hannaford Market (oh northern New England, how I miss you sometimes) this location is clean, organized, and has some items that the local Stop and Shop may not have.
I’ll probably be around again when looking for specific items that my local Stop and Shop doesn’t offer, but it won’t become a weekly trip. Really bummed out there is no reward card program anymore, but hey maybe that’s how they’re staying afloat.
Pros:
Natural (IE, gluten free, Organic, etc) selection is wide
Mexican Coke!
Cons:
No rewards card program anymore

Very abysmal organic selection. Fairly clean store. Airhead teenage employees, although they are nice. Stupid, but nice.

I come here a few times a week to grab something I probably missed on my big shopping or to supplement what I have at home to make a complete meal.
The store is fairly neat and well stocked, there is this weird little abyss at the front of the store though that is normal filled with soda and tchocthkies. There is always a line here and they don’t seem to get regular deliveries of the Providence Phoenix.
I’ve never had an issue with any item I’ve purchased here and I do love that they have self checkouts…(hey sometimes you buy things and you don’t want to look someone in the eyes when buying it, because you can feel their judgement burning your soul.)

I’m definitely a Stop n Shop girl but this market is so close to my house it’d be silly for me to drive elsewhere. I find them to be a bit pricey, so you really have to pay attention to the sales. And there are always long lines for check-​out, they never seem to have enough cashiers on. The cashiers here are super friendly though, so that is a nice part of the experience.

This supermarket is clean and always pretty well-​stocked. Prices generally are not as good as Stop and Shop, but the sales are pretty good.
The produce seems to be very fresh. The flowers from here also last a long time. Randomly and oddly, the avocados here are always pretty ripe.
