Not very impressed. The store looks beautiful, but the selection is weirdly small for such a large store (just 4 types of loose apples, for instance). Prices arent bad. But the food court needs a lot of improvement. I waited over half an hour for a simple sandwich while others who ordered after me got theirs, and the sandwich maker did a pretty bad job -- the sandwich was just a stack of lunch meat, not spread out at all, and a pile of all the toppings, and then it was only cut about halfway through so it was almost impossible to actually pick up. The hot food did look good, though.

I usually love to walk around and shop at Wal-Mart, but this day we had just finished our vacation. When we walked out of the condo we found we had a flat tire. A nice man aired the tire up, but there was a screw in it. We were only a block away and we called the tire department to see how soon they could get to it. They told us if we could get there in a few minutes they would fix it before they went to lunch. After 3 hours of waiting with 2 small children they were tired of walking around the store. We went back to the tire dept and they had not even started! Everyone had went to lunch and our packed car with coolers was still sitting in the 93° Florida sun. I talked to the guy at the desk and told him we were told it would be fixed before lunch. He said, rudely, Who told you that?! I said It was a lady that we spoke to on the phone and when we got here. He then said There is no lady that works here! I said sir, there was a nice black lady that was working right here. He said Oh!I must have been at lunch. After another 30 min the tire was plugged. No apologies, nothing.

Lines are long and store is crowded during regular peak times of 3-7pm which I’ve noticed is a normal rush for most stores. But the shelves are always stocked. And it’s clean to the best of their ability with all the daily foot traffic. Never had any issue with a cashier so that’s a plus. Only thing is the bakery area rarely has someone working in the evening but luckily I know how to write on cakes and the manger always gave me a go ahead to use their supplies even helped a few customers out that needed their cake written on.

This particular fresh grocers location can use some major improvements but overall the neighborhood market does have what you need it’s just that sometimes the staffing and the employees here are a little mean and as the individual that is vision impaired I don’t think this is a proper community for us

This particular fresh grocer, is alright. I think there red meat (beef), is over priced. I have never seen meat that high in price. There hoagie line is always busy and they never have enough help making the hoagies. I like the This store just needs more help.

I shop here a lot and like the sales. They have a lot new employees too and they are very helpful. A lady who work there name Kay helped me with loading a coupon on my card. It only worked when my phone number was used. And I was happy to get those 3 for $3 Ajax laundry detergent. Everything is easy to find and the store is well stocked.

They are very unprofessional. No regard for the customers time or money. Went in to pick up pampers stood in the self check out line for more than 20 minutes. All but one machine was down there was a customer with clearly more than 25 items. She looked like she went full blown food shopping. She was taking her sweet time and the staff was not doing anything to try to make the line move faster. Customer service was empty and I know for a fact you can ring up on the self check out main register, but they stood around laughing about the situation. I hated this market before because of the staff will never shop here again.

Absolutely the most rudest people work in their receiving department /loading dock. Im sure the people who work there in the front retail section of the supermarket are probably really good people. Its great to have such as supermarket in that neighborhood.

This Fresh grocer on Chew Ave has very good products, nice and fresh, but they cheat you at the register, they put one price on the items and its more expensive at the register, Ive been trying to complain but cant reach anyone . And why are the crab legs so expensive, its between 35. Up to 90. dollars a bag ridiculous. Its know excuse for the prices to be that high thats just pure greed🤔. Last year the same bag was about 25. to 30 dollars what a difference 😲

I had never been to Fresh Grocer before this first visit, and I felt like the Lord called me home early seeing the food options. We moved from the Tri-State three years ago, and there is NOTHING like Philadelphia food.Everything where we currently live tastes like a diet food version of Martha Stewart’s cooking. I was literally on cloud nine seeing and eating the hot food from Fresh Grocer.The parking lot did feel a little sketch, but its no different than most parking lots in Philly. I miss the city so much, and will definitely frequent here when back in town.

They are so OVER PRICED I understand that they really service the college students. But this is still a community of low income people. Who find these prices unfair. Which makes us to have to travel farther to be able to afford to eat. However thats Life in America. Its all about a Dollar

Fairly clean, aisles are not well stocked, they tend to run out of sale items really quick. The hot food bar is a mess, the food isnt fresh. I never buy those huge hoagies they make, I cant open my mouth that wide. They arent universal or varietal.

Huge supermarket. I love the quantity of fresh produce here. They sell Juniors brand cheesecake - yes, the New York cheesecake! Their International food aisle has tons of tempting goodies. I appreciate that they have at least 3 brands of plantain chips - Goya, Vitarroz, etc. - BUT I do wish theyd remove the Chili Jalapeno Vitarroz plantains with a sell by date of February 2020. Its disappointing to see the red bags and think, Oh, theyre IN! only to find its old stock. A little off-topic here, but similarly, check the dates on the Tastykake baked goods: sometimes, the eat by date is old. Sigh.Back to positives though - if you want organic tofu and/or refrigerated and frozen vegan foods, this is the market for you. Walmart and/or Target might have this type of food cheaper, but this market does offer these foods so if youre in the neighborhood ...The staff is civil, sometimes friendly.

I hadnt been inside one of these stores in 6 years because I did not like my experience. This visit was much better. The fruit and vegetables were really fresh. Everything I was looking for was in stock. The cashiers were courteous. Very nice to be able to take cart to car.Store was cleaner than most grocery stores, especially on Chelten Ave.What I dont like is that theres always a crowd or huddle in front of door. Very unsafe.
