Lets start with the good: This is one of the cleanest grocery stores I have ever been to. And the aisles are wide. Very wide. The staff was polite and helpful. If you can't manage to carry all of your groceries to your car at once, they take your cart and give you a number. You pull up and they put your bags into the car for you. Al positive things. The not positive is the prices, gah. If you are wanting to save buck or two then keep on going. Having said that, if you are in search of beer or wine, they have an incredible selection. Like a really huge selection of wines and beer. Meh.

When we lived in Illinois we had a Heinen's in Barrington. We loved it meat , produce except. This was just as good . Very clean store and they carry a lot of specialty items I will be back

I've never seen one of these stores in the South, so I had no idea what to expect. I must say, I Love it! The prices are comprable to do grocery stores like Fresh Market and Whole Foods. They have an extensive Deli selection with lots of fresh meat oh, bread, cheese, and salads. Particularly useful was the coffee kiosk where you can get a fresh cup of coffee as you shop. The store is extremely clean with wide aisles. I will say that the bakery offerings were minimal but that's probably best for me since I love sweets. Much of their produce and other products are locally sourced, so not being from Ohio I was able to find a lot of new foods to try.

I love Heinen's and I love the Strongsville Heinen's. Although I must admit I like Brecksville more. The good: large store, wide aisles; quiet; health food section Is comprehensive and often staffed by certified nutritions; great produce (they will let you pre-taste anything); helpful staff; loading groceries in the trunk is the BEST (I've never had to pack my own purchases either). Don't come here to save money, but for a great shopper experience. The last time I went to Giant Eagle, I froze to death, and ended up bagging my own groceries. Weaknesses: both the floral and bakery departments could use some updating, they're boring and predictable; there are staff members I see 3 times a week for the past 5 years, who still don't recognize or acknowledge me (particularly in produce where they seem over worked).

This store has a great selection of food including a really nice salad bar, plenty of organic produce, chips of all sorts, and a great selection of wines at a good price. The people are always very friendly and helpful. Case in point - Today I was making a purchase and asked the cashier if I could drop off some cardboard boxes to be recycled. She not only told me that was AOK, she followed me to my car to help me bring in the boxes. That's what I call above and beyond service.

My regular grocer. A well presented store with a sensible layout with wide aisles. Contrast with the aircraft hangar approach that Giant Eagle has the tendency to build. The place is not so giant that you have to decide whether you have enough time to go back to dairy to get the milk you forgot. All cashiers are friendly and competent. When you see an employee in the store you can feel comfortable asking them a question. Deer in the headlights look will almost always get you a "Can I help you find something?" Nice. Meats, fish, deli, bakery, and salad bar are all good. They have plenty of beer and wine choices and often that general area has dedicated staff. Craft beer fans will find a great selection. Pricing is the one issue for many folks. Loss leaders aside, their prices may be higher than a store like Marc's on some items. For my general shopping needs, the prices tend to be on par with competitors. Get in and get out fast with a nice experience, and they'll load your groceries into your car. Locally owned and well run.

Heinen's is one of the two grocery stores in Strongsville, and the location of Giant Eagle is just dumb. I go here mostly by default or just to pick up something in particular, such as soup or the prepared foods. There's a creamy tomato bisque soup that is amazing and I think I'd try all of the prepared foods at some point or another. They have a couple of curry dishes and a ton of sides and prepared meat such as blue cheese burgers or breaded chicken. It's perfect for a home cooked meal that you didn't cook yourself. (Oh, and there's usually a couple of samples of dips and such. Yum.) Most of those fun ingredients in vegetarian recipes or things you'd read about in Health magazine you can find here. I don't have another market (i.e. Whole Foods) of that sort near me to compare it to though. And if you go early in the day, the sushi is fresh and pretty reasonably priced. I like it because most of them are a mixture of three different rolls so you can get yourself some variety if you're grabbing lunch solo. It's a very nice layout with lovely hard wood floors and nice displays on the endcaps in the front of the store. Beautiful wine department, ALWAYS fast checkout and in general a pleasant shopping experience. Four stars cause you're gonna pay more here than at the Eagle, but not want to shoot yourself leaving the parking lot.
