Grocery Stores in North Adams, MA

“Big Y has come a long way over the years, and I have to give them a lot of credit. In certain areas, they really knock it out of the park. They make a strong effort to have as many local products as possible, for example, and I like that I'll often find unique things to buy here. They also have a really great food service department and their made to order subs are excellent and well-priced.That said, the store is smaller than the other grocery store in town, so I find often that the selection of some products suffers. Pricing does tend to be a little higher (on average) than the competition as well - but not dramatically so. As a result, rather than being my primary store I find that I stop at Big Y more for smaller trips or for the unique products I can't get elsewhere.”

“A great store to find all your food items. Great selection of coffee and ready made sandwiches. The staff were excellent. We will be revisiting this store the next time we're in North Adams.”

“Seems odd to review a supermarket but this is a really nice one. Excellent staff, departments, selections, bla bla, all things we already know and love.But the best thing ever invented since sliced bread is the Scan It (tm) device! Go ahead, scan sliced bread with it.Scan while you shop then scan the whole device and pay. It's an underutilized service but it's a profound improvement to checkout.If you are hesitant to try the Scan It device, it's pretty simple and staff are happy to help if you get stuck. Worst case is you end up checking out in the traditional way. Meh.To start, scan your Stop and Shop card at the Scan It kiosk near self checkout. A few moments later it will click and light up one of the scanning devices just for you. It has a touch screen and a scan trigger.As you shop, point and shoot, it goes beep, put the item in your (hopefully) reusable bag. You can fill your cart to overflowing if you want to.When you're ready, touch its Checkout button. The Checkout button will warn about finalizing your cart then displays a personal barcode. You scan that barcode at any self checkout register and pay. That's it! Boop. They might audit your cart once to make sure you're doing a good job. Staff will help if you get tangled up.There are a few ways to get tangled up in the device, namely accidentally touching screen buttons. Such buttons include price check, cart item list, probably other things. If that happens, there is also a button called Scan which sets you back to normal.”

“We came here to pick up food and kitchen supplies while staying at a rental in the Berkshires. Staff was friendly and able to give us quick answers. Set-up is similar to other locations we'd been to. Prices were low, especially with so many generic items available. Shelves and appearances were adequately maintained as product (especially grocery) moves quickly.”
