Shopping center

😐 This shopping center is sooooo dirty. Just grows IMO. every store I’ve been to here is trashy. The Kroger is almost scary to shop in. Just walking in the front door gives me a weird feeling. People often mention store, shopping, Kroger, stores, people, shop, good, area, center, friendly,

    I was working here I am a traveling merchandiser this was one of the worst stores and it's not the stores fault it the location of this store that makes it that. Workers are friendly but customers are the worst

    Great shopping center, several different places in the area. Kroger, Family Dollar, Tobacco shop, Pawn shop. That's the places I've been to here. Alot of extra parking around the area.

    The store was a mess. It is the holidays, but the store should not have carts of merchandise everywhere.

  • 5/5 Keyara H. 5 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    First going to this square... has a little bit of everything and a liquor store inside of the Kroger. Also lots of places to grab a quick bite to eat.

  • 2/5 Tina D. 2 months ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    Always out of everything. Store isn't very organized or clean.

  • 3/5 Michelle L. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    Because of the area they don't upkeep much or keep things in stock

  • 4/5 Ayaanah J. 11 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Overall the cooking center is great, there's a little bit of everything around the area. As for Kroger's.....Prices could be better, some things are really over priced. You have to go to tell different stores, but I guess it is great it's in a plaza

  • 5/5 Carol C. 1 year ago on Google
    Love going shopping here 😀 they have great service and check out is quick

  • 4/5 Carmon K. 1 year ago on Google
    It was ok just did some krogering!! One thing all the baggers (kids) wasn't doing the job & they weren't busy no excuses my cashier bagged my stuff & she was elderly she most definitely should have had help I helped her & they watched

  • 5/5 Michael M. 1 year ago on Google
    Busted the Kroger and I was picking up a seafood order and Im not familiar with seafood but the lady behind the counter had amazing knowledge of her department and had it so clean marked and organized that even I had an easy time picking up this order because if it wasn't for the sea flood lady this would have not been a pleasant experience that is was. Kroger should hire more people like here. Great job thanks again

    Plenty of parking for the various stores and restaurants you are able to find just about anything you need from one of the stores in the strip

  • 5/5 Larry B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have health issues that require me to ride an electric cart when shopping. This store almost always has electric carts available. And if not, you can usually find them in the cart corrals in the parking lot. The store is clean and bright, and usually has everything I need. All but one employee have been very professional and polite. A short girl who retrieves the carts yelled at me that I couldn't leave the property with the cart. I told her that I knew that. But she kept yelling. Then she asked some guy to yell at me. Then the guy and I were screaming and cussing at each other across the parking lot. I thought I was gonna get into a fight with this guy, over driving the cart to the end of the property, to save on walking distance to the bus stop. That makes me want to never go there again. I think I'll start taking my money to Walmart from now on. Which would be very inconvenient for me, being that it's quite a bit farther from my apartment. But at least I have never felt that my safety was in jeopardy, because of an employee, at Walmart...

    Brian is the most honest and down to earth 🌎 person you as a customer can appreciate. He makes connections for you from A/C repair to home repair, he has kind and honest contractors coming to aid you. I have had many emergency situations from A/C to home repair. He had connections with honest and experienced electrician in our homes and followed up with repairs, I recommend him 💯 💶.

    Rinky-Dink. Too bad it's the only grocery store within a 5 mile radius. I don't recommended this center. I patronize these stores out of convenience only.

  • 5/5 Blaine M. 1 year ago on Google
    The cashier and the bagger we're both very pleasant young ladies this Kroger store had full shelves unlike Kroger store at solando boulevard last 2 months empty shells

    I had visited Youngstown and upon my departure developed car problems on the interstate. Had my vehicle towed to this shop and received the best care. I wish they were located where I now reside.

  • 4/5 Née N. 1 year ago on Google
    Went into the krogers for 1 thing. Not so good side of time but I was able to get what was needed.

  • 5/5 darling M. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Carmen R. 1 year ago on Google
    I've made Kroger my place to buy groceries, there's a large variety of food and misc things to buy. It's very clean! The people are friendly & helpful.

  • 2/5 mavis j. 1 year ago on Google
    The employees were not friendly except in your deli. The Deli employee was polite and helpful. The people stocking and running the self checkout not at all. Plus produce had so many gnats flying around it. I wouldn't buy any produce from this Kroger.

  • 5/5 Jackie P. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been shopping here for many years and it has always been reasonable on prices and that's hard to find in today's world.. It's also not a crowded place unless it's around the first of the month or on holidays.. But I do recommend it to anyone.

  • 1/5 Sarah L. 1 year ago on Google
    People were nice but some where rude, they really don't know the store very well but they do need more people for cashiers long wait time to get all done.

  • 2/5 Matt I. 1 year ago on Google
    The thrift store is waaaay over priced on a lot of their items for example they wanted 8.99 for a used laptop carrying bag and this bag was far from new looking it was well used if they would lower their ridiculous prices it wouldn't be a bad place to go to

  • 4/5 JAMAAL G. 1 year ago on Google
    Best breakfast is when you can take your pennies and buy a single banana for around 15 cents. Just saying. Make that loose change FRUITful

  • 2/5 Ben Paxton I. 2 years ago on Google
    Remember when it was new. Few years ago Kroger tore all the floor tile out. Surprised they didn't take the shelves down and put everything on skids on the floor. Carts don't work well either. They have security wheels which are supposed to lockup at the property line but are locked most of time.

  • 1/5 Bobby H. 1 year ago on Google
    Hillbilly heaven. 😁 Nothing like working you but off all day up on a roof, and then you try to go get something to eat, or go to the store and buy something. But before you go in anywhere you get asked by 3 different people to give them money. Then if you say you don't have it to give they get mad at you. 🤯🤯🤯 #Stayasfarawayaspossibile.

  • 4/5 Jennifer M. 7 months ago on Google
    It's a good shopping center to get most of the things needed, done

  • 4/5 Debbie H. 3 years ago on Google
    Krogers has always been good to me! They have had some good people working there for many many years. Some I knew before they ever worked there.

    That location is my spot. Employees could use some social networking class. The stock was great.

  • 2/5 Jameson Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Kroger has apparently forgotten about this Sorry Store. Sorely Need in Renovation or Replacement. Come on Kroger, You Guys Can And Should Do Better.

  • 5/5 Kathy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Thanks to this store for being five star.. Period...just in case management at other large retail stores has forgotten how to treat their loyal customers. May this store and all it's employees continue to grow and prosper.

  • 4/5 Myron W. 7 months ago on Google
    I like Krogers. They are the quick stop to grab something. I think the neighborhood makes it seem bad but a good store

  • 4/5 Mark Vella (. 11 months ago on Google
    Ive shopped here since I was a kid. It has gone thru many phases but the parking lot has been repaved in the last couple years, trash has pretty much been picked up for the most part, it has generally been a lot cleaner, the people are getting really nice inside again.

  • 3/5 Dee M. 10 months ago on Google

  • 4/5 Jeffrey W. 10 months ago on Google
    They did not have any packages of 40 bottles of water. The staff was very nice and helpful a d a bagger even came out to my car to retrieve the motorized cart that I was using and even offered to put the 24 pack of water in my car.

  • 5/5 Danielle R. 2 years ago on Google
    Lot of different varieties of stores to choose from as well as restaurants. You can either grab something fast or you can even enjoy a buffet with the family. I think this shopping center has maintained great customer service as well a cleanliness

  • 4/5 Marlyne R. 2 years ago on Google
    Very convenient to the area for the southend shoppers. A little congested but they had everything we needed. Very busy but had enough cashiers and they put in another self check out lane and we were able to get out quickly. I shop there when I'm in the area.

  • 5/5 Maxine R. 2 years ago on Google
    I love This Walmart. Clean, friendly service. The only thing that I didn't understand. That there was no fresh vegetables. Oh well. I didn't question it. I found clothes I like. That, fits me🙂

  • 2/5 Brenda D. 3 years ago on Google
    Lucky Dawgs, I have been going here for years, recently they've changed something about the fish tables, Absolutely making sure your not winning but possibly half of what you put in and that's on a lucky day! Computers are consistently down, NO bonus even though they claim to... Not worth your money, definitely cannot walk in with less than $100
