Kroger

This is a great store going through some renovations so it is a bit of a mess. Otherwise, it is huge, spacious, and filled to the brim with lots of items. The produce section is massive. There are a lot of sections such as health, oriental and more. It was loaded with helpful staff when I went. Great store, just be advised of the renovations.

I have no complaints about the product or my overall shopping experience with Kroger. This review is to highlight one specific area that Kroger needs to improve—the carpet cleaner rental service. I spent 30 minutes performing a deep cleaning before returning the machine. The Kroger employee spent 10 seconds finding two tiny pieces of debris hidden inside. Then they told me I could not get my $40 deposit back because of this. If they had told me their cleaning standards beforehand, I could have taken the extra 10 seconds to remove those pieces. Instead, they chose to keep my money. I’m a perfectionist in life, and if my standards cannot pass their scrutiny, I bet 95% of customers wouldn’t be able to get their deposit back—and might even end up paying an extra cleaning fee. In cases like this, Kroger could either: 1. Clearly point out their standards and allow customers to finish the minor cleaning, or 2. Deduct only a portion of the deposit based on the amount of cleaning work still required.

This store has a really solid selection of plant based food. These are not all in one place, but scattered around the store. Kroger seems big on the new plant based burgers that are coming out, and has their own product, called Emerge, as well as Lightlife and Beyond Burger. The non-dairy cheeze selection is a little light, with mainly Daiya; I'd like to see Miyoko's and Follow Your Heart. Non-dairy yogurt is good, but it would be great if they added So Delicious. I buy a lot of Amy's Kitchen frozen meals, and these were in different locations, rather than all in one place. So it's worth hunting around to find them. The selection could be a little better, but so far, it's the best all in one place shopping for plant based foods in Blacksburg.

I feel like this is the best Kroger location in the area, and I have always been satisfied shopping here. They offer a much better selection of products than the alternative grocery stores, and it always is an clean place to shop as well. The deli is also amazing. I would give a 5 star review, but the fact that there is apparently a bar here that serves alcohol is a detracting factor for me. I am of the opinion that a bar does not belong in a grocery store where children are present often, I just think there's something not right about that.

I like the dark chocolate. I find it is not easy to buy some specific brand with using the weekly digital coupons. There are out of the stock and can not have the rain checks to buy later.

I come grocery shopping here at least once a week. It is clearly the most superior grocery store in Blacksburg by a landslide. The produce section is massive and always well organized and fresh. The bakery is great and always smells delicious. There is even a sushi, salad, and alcohol bar! This place has everything. Also the deals are great and saving points to get discounted gas is really easy. I would 100% recommend this Kroger location to anyone who lives in Blacksburg or even Christiansburg

Wonderful plant and flower selection. Beer and wine bar. Great Pharmacy. Helpful /super friendly staff..

The store was clean and well stocked. The store appears to be under some renovation.
