Kroger Food and Pharmacy

So before this experience I would’ve rated this kind of middle-​ing, just a Krogers you know?
But my roommate was looking for bratwurst hamburgers that were frozen but hadn’t seen them in the case. We asked two different employees both of whom didn’t know where it would be and directed us to another person. I would’ve given up at that point but my roommate stayed focused. We went to the front where we did finally run into the store manager who first called a meat employee on his wallow talkie and the meat employee said where the brat burgers were located and it was the same place my roomie had already not been able to locate them in. Instead of just re sending us to do a better job looking he went to look himself
He came back with both varieties or the brat burger with a smile and no sign of irritation at the inability we had to find things that had apparently been right in front of our faces. A+++++

This is a really good Kroger, bigger than the one on E Main in Reynoldsburg or most in the East side of Columbus. It has both sushi and an olive bar. I know, I know the olive bar has a reputation for being overpriced but I have three words for that: stuffed grape leaves. They are awesome! Granted they are smaller than what you would get at a Greek restaurant but it’s by the pound though!
This Kroger is one of the marketplace ones so it has a variety of kitchen accessories and such and not badly priced. Some things are much better at Target, Walmart but the latter is kind of a big time commitment, cannot get in and out and the experience is something I avoid unless I have no other choice. Why four stars then? Well I hate the self checkout when it’s a big shopping trip, and at this location you have no other option past 8 PM which is typically when I do my shopping. Do wish they would make it later, there are enough shoppers to justify it most nights. So had to rearrange the day and make fantastic time to avoid it, and I made it! :)

There’s a Starbucks inside, which is AWESOME! Their produce selection is pretty good but it does get picked over sometimes. Their beer selection is slowly, and I mean really slowly, getting better. Rather than two full shelves of AB and Miller/​Coors beers they have 1 ½ shelves of Miller/​Coors and AB products with a small selection of good craft stuff.

This is a HUGE Kroger and it has nearly everything you’d ever need in terms of groceries. But it also has a State liquor store, a bank and a pharmacy.
The butcher has good meats and fresh fish, and if you need a hot meal to go, the delicatessen has rotisserie chickens and plenty of side dishes (plus other foods that are ready to eat).
If you are a beer and wine fan, then you’ll be glad to know they have an extensive selection of both.
There’s plenty of parking and though it is a huge store and is always crowded, they have plenty of checkout lines so you never have long to wait. Better yet if you have just a few items you can self-​checkout and be out in a snap.
