The anatomy of a rip off… I’m retired after spending 30 years in the food industry. Acme owns both kings and Balducci’s…Acmes Business model, which is perfectly fine. Is we sell products that are close to expiration or product grown with the cheapest fertilizer, etc… Nothing illegal in that,. They sell product cheaper than most because it’s at the very bottom of government acceptable level… Now Kings and Balducci’s were high-end gourmet style establishments… You paid more, sometimes a lot more but you got the very best of product…. Now you’ll see the Acme truck delivering to both establishments. It’s the very same product sold at Acme., but marked up sometimes 40% or more at these two stores. I’ve lived in town for decades years ago, these were truly gourmet stores, not anymore. It’s the exact same “stuff” That Acme sells 7/10 of a mile away but 40% more lol

Used to like this place and they had some nice employees. Some of the nice ones are still there, however they've employed some shifty ones of late. They had 2 of the items I bought which were mislabelled, in their favor of course. Things which were practically 1/2 price so I got them based upon that. I went through the self checkout and noticed they hadn't rung up as being discounted, but I didn't have time to go back and look for something else, so I went to chat service. I told the young guy about the labelling and he went to have a look - I wish I went with him but it meant leaving my heavy cart which I had goods I have paid for. He came back and said label wasn't there. Blatant lie. Meanwhile while he was gone an older lady took over from him, this time I followed her because she said she would look too. Sure enough the sign was gone. She did decide to refund me, and while still in the process of doing that refund, he goes by her and reveals a crumpled up sticker (the one which was in the shelf) so he had ripped it off and was saying it was not there. This isn't proper behavior and this is not the first time I've had this type of nickel and dime-ing by a youngish employee, as if it's coming out do their own pocket or something. It isn't how customers should be treated, making them look like liars. I gave him a piece of my mind to the tube of j would never trust him again. An older employee who knows me mouthed "sorry" from a distance. The lady who it turns out is the store manager, told me she would deal with him - and I'm like, aren't I able to defend myself? Crazy treatment of loyal, long-time customers. I mean I've been going there as long as this kid has been I. This world, but there's other places to shop. Also, some cleanliness issues, and fridges that seem to not be refrigerating properly. Place needs refurbishing and better new hires who are taught how to treat customers and handle errors the store has made.

We were in Old Greenwich and made a stop at Kings for some essential groceries and we were pleasantly surprised by the selection of groceries, the cleanliness of the small market, and the incredibly fresh produce! For a small market you don't always expect the best fresh vegetables but Kings was by far better than the local large chain markets in our area. If you are in the area I would absolutely recommend a quick stop here for your grocer needs!

Terrible place. Van Leeuwen Ice Cream on sale in the flyer for 4.99. Buy 2 pints and get to cash register. $8.99 less $1.50 says the register. I show them the flyer. Oh, you need our app to get this price. But, the app doesn't have this price. Talk about bait & switch. Bring back the old Porcelli's. Good honest people.

Kings is a local gemstone with great fresh produce amazing floral choices and a fair variety of groceries.The staff is very friendly and helpful. If for some reason you can't, they will pack your order and take it to your car.This week they introduced online ordering with curbside pickup - DriveUp & Go as well as home delivery.

Their fruits are freshest in town. Their buffalo chicken wings are one of the staple for summer bbq in my house. Deli staffs are always accommodating when something is sold out.

One of the greatest luxuries of being in OG is this high end grocery store. Organic veggies, fresh sushi made everyday, great cheese selection, beautiful flowers, yummy chocolates, Papayrus cards, convenient package store, newspapers all at our finger tips. The helpful, well trained staff make this neighborhood haunt a pleasure to frequent. They did an epic job during COVID. They care and it shows.
