Fruit Fair

"I want to like and patronize this store more but each time I come I'm tempted to not return. I did not buy deli meat this time, despite coming specifically for the sales, when I noticed the previous meat sitting out on the slicer while all staff was in the back room. I'm not sure how long it was left out there. The slicers badly needed a cleaning also. This isn't the first time the deli area looks very questionable. Always be sure to check the receipt, the last several times I've shopped items listed on sale do not ring up on sale. There are always many questionable looking packages of meat- there are also many fresh ones but the discolored and past expiry meats can easily kill one's appetite for meats. And the rotten meat smell that hits you when you first enter through the doors by the freezers, I'm not sure where that's coming from but it's not what you want to experience at the grocery store. I only bring these things up because I want to see them improve because I want this supermarket to succeed and continue to grow! I'm looking forward to the fresh produce from the greenhouses built. I think the store offers a unique selection and a small, personal experience you can't get anywhere else. The staff is always friendly, the sales amazing, I just wish these specific things would improve so I could feel comfortable shopping there more often."

"Let me start by saying that I have been shopping at Fruit Fair for 50 years. I have seen it hopping when Mr. W was the owner, when it changed hands a couple times and then the Indian family (Patel) owned it for over a decade. They ran the place to the ground and I was surprised to see that it stayed open. The I was more surprised to see how the young owners (NEWELLS) brought it back to its glory days in a couple short years, how friendly, motivated, smart, hardworking and community oriented they are. Now about the store. It’s updated, upgraded, neat , clean, organized and beautiful. A lot of produce is locally grown and very underpriced. The meats are incredibly affordable and cheaper than any chain stores. The Boar’s Head Deli is $3-4 cheaper a pound than everywhere else. The hot food is homemade and fresh. I recommend them 100%. I hope more and more people support this little grocery store."

"It’s a great market with lots of Spanish Root Vegetables and meats. Very friendly bi lingual inclusive market. Butchers are awesome."

"OMG! How have I never gone shopping here before?! They have great quality meat for incredible prices. Which in this economy is a GOD SEND! I feel like I can actually feed my family… and support a small business at the same time. Will be back!"

"Such a amazing store! They always have what i need and more, Foods i've nvr seen before giving me great ideas for new meals for my family. If you're ever in the chicopee area you must come down and shop here!"
