Handy. No bargains. Has the basics.
The lineups are way too long.
Update: Response to Nesters Market (Owner) below. What is there to follow up on? I thought my review was pretty straightforward. The lineups to purchase are atrocious. You have many other bad reviews on this platform. Have you attempted to address them in your store or just post boilerplate responses? Based on my visit I saw nothing to lead me to believe you’re improving the customer experience. I standby my review.

Nesters Market’s ownership by the Jim Pattison Group concerns me, especially given reports of a property sale to ICE. I don’t support the current U.S. administration’s immigration practices, and I won’t support businesses connected to them. Shopping elsewhere from now on.
**Update**
The sale of the property did eventually collapse, but only after intense and sustained public pressure. This included planned protests at business locations across Canada, a large-scale letter-writing campaign urging Canadian MPs to investigate Canadian companies doing business with ICE, a civilian boycott of all companies owned by The Jim Pattison Group, and a formal letter from the union representing workers at a JPG grocery chain stating they would strike if the sale proceeded. A major advertising firm (Point Blank) that works with JPG also publicly announced it would sever all ties with JPG companies if the deal went through.
At the local level, residents of Hanover County, Virginia - the site of the property - flooded a town hall meeting to voice their outrage at the prospect of such a facility being opened in their community. This public response led the Board of Supervisors to vote down the proposed use of the building and to issue a statement to state and federal representatives opposing the sale.
Only after all of this - two days after the town hall in Hanover - did JPG release a single-line statement confirming the deal would not proceed: “The transaction to sell our industrial building in Ashland, Virginia will not be proceeding.”
They were willing to do the business and profit from an unthinkable deal… just not willing to be seen doing it.

we shop here all the time. it is our neighborhood grocery store. I have complaints from time to time. for instance, they often only have one person working cash when there is a huge lineup. but they really pissed me off recently. I showed up there at 8:54 pm to buy something i needed urgently, and the on duty manager told me that they actually close at 8:50. To which i replied by showing him the website where it says they close at 9. He actually would not let me come in and shop even though i was there within their posted hours. I think he just wanted to go home. Really shitty way to treat a loyal customer. again, i usually like the place, but i am sure thinking about them differently now.

They have a good selection but prices are high. I have walked out leaving my groceries behind several times over the years because of long line ups and only 1 cashier. I stopped shopping there and recently gave them another chance. Having 1 cashier working on the 23 of Dec with 7 people in line does not seem reasonable not does it make sense to me. I walked out without my groceries.
