Big Y World Class Market 6 Queen Street, Newtown, CT 06470

"Clean and spacious! Prices seem decent too for groceries. I like how it had a bakery inside with seats for u to sit and munch."

"A CORPORATE MONEY MACHINE. When I moved up from the city 20 years ago, The Big Y was a nice enough store to shop in. They had a bunch of disabled people working in the bagging section. Also, regular folks that I would recognize every time I checked out. They would celebrate employee of the month which was kind of cute. Their photo would be framed and placed on the wall as you exited the store. But over time, shopping there has become less and less enjoyable. About 12 years ago, they closed off the bulletin board behind glass. I thought - well that's not very accommodating to the locals. Then the signs started going up: NO LOITERING in the parking lot. Then the cameras started going up to watch your every move. Make sure you are not STEALING! The baggers vanished, so you had to bag your own groceries, And eventually, they stopped celebrating Employee of the Month. Then the cashiers started to disappear. And most recently, they stopped having cashiers at all. You now have to do the cashier’s work and not get paid for it. The other night I was in the store and noticed there were only two people working, where they once had 20 people sprinkled around departments, customer service, deli, etc. WOW! Slowly but surely the place has become more bland, with less selections, higher prices, and fewer employees. Now with the “redesign” of the store it has an empty, soulless warehouse feel. I hate going there. I think the Big Y in Newtown is a seriously sinking ship and quite frankly - good riddance. I shop across the street where the atmosphere and employees are plenty, have a smile on their faces and BAG YOUR GROCERIES."

"Nice, clean. Great service from all the employees"

"Stopped by on a Saturday evening to pick up dinner along with some groceries for our Airbnb while staying in Newtown. The store and staff are lovely. A vast selection of all the items you need, very clean and organized in a convenient location."

"I love this store. What blows me away each time i am there is how attentive the store manager is. He can be seen each time I am shopping, checking with every department, helping people as needed, straightening out things - i have never seen that before honestly. Super hands on and it shows - his team is excellent and the store is immaculate."
