Kroger 528 South College Avenue, Bloomington, IN 47403

"It is probably the most accessible grocery store in Bloomington by bike. However, the carts lock every time you take them over to the bike racks. Also, my bike headlight just got stolen while shopping. At least the whole bike wasn't gone, but I almost got into an accident on the ride back home because a car couldn't see me. I ended up flying off of my bike from braking so hard and got severely bruised. All of this makes me think twice about shopping here again given how sketchy the area is."

"When I was walking into Kroger today I could tell a homeless man was watching where I parked and as I was exiting the Kroger he waited in the middle of the parking lot and was following where I was walking back to my car. I walked back into the Kroger and asked an employee if someone could walk me back to my car. The staff was so unbelievably kind and graciously walked me back to my car twice to help me with what I needed. Mark and the staff at Kroger genuinely are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met and I’m so grateful for the kindness they showed me today."

"The store itself is well stocked and the staff is pleasant. However, the location leaves a lot to be desired. The parking lot is crawling with homeless and / or impaired individuals who seemingly live at the park across the street. Despite having an unmanned patrol car parked in the parking lot, there is no security. Unless this town fixes this issue, I will not be returning."

"Good variety of products, from produce to kitchen gadgets. Good prices with many rotating specials. Recent updates to the interior make it easier to shop. Staff are usually busy but friendly. The pharmacy is excellent. The neighborhood serves a large variety of social and economic communities, so each visit can vary from affirming to irritating to scary. For example, the men's room is often trashed."
