Shaw’s

Shaw’s also managed to receive an overall score of 70 points, and the lowest ever score in the price competitiveness category. Also, many people complain about their employees, recalling how ignorant and blatantly rude they are to customers, sometimes even with their store manager watching and laughing it off. The majority of middle-class consumers found this network acceptable. Even so, survey participants noticed that in these stores, products aren’t always high quality, their prices are also not very reasonable, and the range is pretty poor. What’s your experience with Shaw’s?

Key Food

Unfortunately, Key Food is now the lowest-rated grocery chain on the entire list, with only 1 star out of 5, for both its price competitiveness and fresh store-prepped food.

  1. I agree that Gelson’s is badly overpriced but, their quality is second-to-none & when they’re your neighborhood grocery, those few Pennie’s-higher are easy to get accustomed to

  2. We don’t have any of these in Southeastern Wisconsin except Whole Foods. And both Whole Foods locations aren’t even in my neighborhood.

  3. You forgot about srinkflation?? It’s so messed up everywhere. Even old spice is doing it now.

  4. I’m not a regular Von’s shopper however, I do shop their sister store, Albertson’s…the sale price items and they are great. This from a “super shopper”. The reason I go to Albertsons is largely, Albertsons is closer. Again, I only shop the sale items. They do run “good sales”.

  5. Amazon Fresh Stores.

    I’ve been shopping there and I have to say their prices are incredibly low. Produce and fruit are top quality. As good as Sprout’s. And you can check out with the wave of your hand!

  6. I go to Shaws in Newburyport Ma I have always been satisfied with their produce, meats and baked goods.
    I do agree their prices are not competitive but I have usually been satisfied with the courtesy of their employees
