Big Y World Class Market - Stafford Springs, Connecticut

Great spot to pick up lunch. There's a pizza & sandwich spot close to the register and a seafood spot in the back. In addition, there are other options. On wednesday, the sushi are discounted. Furthermore, there is an eating area past the register.
Big Y tends to be more expensive than other markets, but there are discounted items from time to time.

Prices are definitely high. The sales are worth going in. Bakery here is ok, I find the bakery in Tolland to be better.
The fresh made food is pretty good, can’t really go wrong with it. It’s also fairly affordable (Big Y grinders are way more affordable than subway imo). Sushi goes on sale on Wednesdays.
Fresh vegetables have always been of high quality. The meats I’ve gotten have been good too.
It definitely does feel a little more corporate since the owner’s children overtook operations. There’s bottle redemptions but I believe it’s limited to 25 bottles.
Workers have always been polite. One annoyance is sometimes they chat with people they know and stop doing their job.

Shopping at Big Y is always a good experience with employees every time. I'm a short person & there's always someone willing to help me. Today I couldn't reach the cereal & couldn't find a non stick baking pan. Both times an employee was courteous & happily helped me.
The very nice cashier waved at me to come over to alert me that her line was open & also noticed I had a hole in the 5lb. bag of rice I bought. The pleasant little female bagger got a replacement for me.
The bathroom is always clean too.
I was so pleased with my shopping trip today!

OK for shopping, but the bakery is not good. We thought it would be fun to get a cake for the holiday. We wanted a carrot cakes, but they had none, so we got a chocolate layer cake. I can't imagine a more boring, almost flavorless cake, and it cost twenty dollars. Not fun. We will definitely bake our own cake next time, or go to Costco.

Rose, from the Big Y Stafford Springs, CT, Floral Department, is fabulous! She recently took and designed my flowers order for my Grandmother’s 100th birthday party this past weekend. I advised that I wanted blues and pinks, with baby’s breath and some greenery to arrange in teacups for the centerpieces. For a minimal charge, she put them together and exceeded my expectations!

Thank you, Rose, for making my life easier and my Grammy’s party extra beautiful!!

I want to start off by saying that I loved shopping here when I first moved into town, it was my go to shop, but that has changed. People are nice (those who haven’t left the company). This place has became very corporate, it never felt like that before it felt very much like a small town market, but it has gotten very corporate. The prices are high for no reason, and when something is marked wrong and you bring it up they go “i don’t know”. If I wanted that type of treatment I would go to Walmart. You’re the only grocery store in Stafford Springs CT, get it together.

Nice clean store, staff was friendly except for the upper management. They were huddled over by onions all conversing. They were in the way and I asked the one closest to me to excuse me and he didn't acknowledge or apologize. Continued with his conversation as he and I and my client in a wheelchair were in the way.

Prices are a little too high, hard for low income families to properly shop so traveling for food is frequent, but its a good place for last minute items, or items on sale. Pizza is delicious. Sales are the best time to shop, especially 10/10 sale. I also love their floral area. I've bought 5 gorgeous plants and the cottage roses are cheap yet absolutely stunning.
