Paradis Shop n Save

Paradis is great! Locally owned. Real, staffed cash registers with baggers, which is SO NICE these days with the dreaded automated registers and no personal service. Paradis allows you to buzz in and out quickly. What I like most of all, is they have foods I haven't seen in years anywhere else: Blueberry Morning cereal. Certain Maine style foods like Brick Oven rolls, yellow eye beans, pickled bean salad, and more. Stores from out of state just don't order what we want to eat.One more thing, I don't need a selection of 100 different shampoos or 40 different salad dressings if I don't like any of them. Paradis does it right.

Great little store for all your needs. Never that crowded, so it is easy to shop and look around.

The store is clean and the staff friendly. The isles were wide to allow for 2 carts to pass with a little extra. The store was well lit, and the produce was far from the front door to avoid damaging the product from the cold. I also like the fact their sales coincide with a no competitor just across the river, and advertises on Thursday.The things that keeping me from giving it a 5 is they no longer mail out the flyers.b If only they matched the flyer from Old Town we would at least know what is on sale.

Most of the people are very cool. The one in brewer Maine should get a coinstar, so when people only have change they don't hold the line up and get screamed on for holding up the line by the cashier.

It's a smaller version of Hannaford's, a lot more than a Mom and Pop's store, perfect for the community it serves. If you want more variety drive a few more miles to one that suits your needs. The service and cleanliness were equal to their larger competitors. They have the cutest mini shopping cart there for children to use. My granddaughter loves it! We go there to buy her her school lunch snacks...I am thankful to have Paradis Shop n Save, in my neighbor

I have to go here to pay my rent. I'm a pretty clean cut 51 yrs. old male. I generally have a great attitude and am happy 99% of the time. But the gray haired ladies working there should probably not be working there. I've been paying rent and shopping there for a year now. They carded me to pay my rent. With an attitude. She double looked at me and my ID to see if I was lying. Then I was kind of followed around the store while shopping. I bought a fifth of rum and some groceries. She carded me again taking a double check to see if I was lying. While leaving I said to have a nice day. Hope it gets better for you. She responded with a sarcastic Thank you. I don't get it. They acted like I got sprayed by a skunk almost. Did nothing to deserve that treatment. But I still have to go here to pay my rent. It isn't right.

The feel of a small town market in a city. The staff are always friendly and willing to help if you need it. This store is clean and prices are average, rarely more than any of the large grocery chains. The store is small with easy access for a quick item, but they have everything you need on a big shopping list. Highly recommended!

I love shopping at this grocery store. I live right in Brewer so it's very convenient to my home, the people there are friendly and helpful and it's small enough that you can get in and out very quickly. The only complaint that I would have would be that they don't have the selection and they do not have a fish department that some of the larger stores may have. But this is always my first choice in grocery shopping.

Fantastic local store with great employees that go above and beyond. I showed up after the store was closed (new hours due to covid) the employee working went to the aisle and brought me back children's Motrin as my baby had a fever and allowed me to purchase, the store had probably been closed for 15-20 minutes. Very helpful and thoughtful.

Great place to pick up quick necessities. However, the variety and quantity is small for a Shop n' Save. One thing disappointing is that they expect you to leave a backpack at the front desk. I would think they would have an issue with large over-the-shoulder, snap-shut handbags or multi-pocket jackets instead of something on one's back.

Great store! Very convenient if you live in the neighborhood. They have all the basics and a bit more. Been shopping here for years AND there’s a bar next door!

Love this store. It's a mini-Hannaford since it's got Hannaford generic items as well as Hannaford specialty/deli stuff. Super-convenient from Eddington, where I just moved to. The staff is super-friendly and helpful.

I had a hard time with the cashier . It took several times for me to make a purchase with my EBT card I told cashier I had 30 dollars on my card . She gave me a dirty looks because I paid with food stamps .

Very nice and clean, well stocked, no self check out a plus. Courteous cashier and a person actually bagged my purchases. Had everything I needed to buy.

Great little neighborhood super market. For a smaller store, they carry a good variety. The service is friendly, you see the same people and the progress are as good as the bigger stores. What is not to like?

If you're a colored person or have any type of diversity I suggest avoiding this grocery store.I live right down the road and have gone to this store on an as needed basis for 5 years. I want it to be known that this store has a backpack policy, one that I am well aware of and I abide to; out of respect and decency. As a civilized person should. I do leave my backpack with the front service when asked and even put it up front without being asked. I usually stop at this store on my way home from work. I carry a laptop case full with a laptop(most of the time), food, chargers, various types of paperwork, pens, harddrive, chargers, etc. Sometimes I have my backpack(a conversion bag, I can change it from a laptop case to a backback with straps) full of the same things. Still even when I put my bag upfront, many of the store clerks give me dirty looks(of what appears to be contempt) and follow me around the store.I have refused to write this review for a long time thinking I have better things to do. Also as a colored person that experiences subtle racism and discrimination by random people everywhere(which is a sad reality for any miniority) and have been called a "dirty rotten commy n***er" have been chased off the road by a man screaming "and don't you ever bring your black ass round here" and have been singled out numerous times for various things for 24 years, it didn't seem to make sense to give a bad review of an entire store based off a few of the stores clerks. But its gotten to the point where I am sick of being treated the way I have been. I have been there without a backpack many times and I still get followed around and given dirty looks. This isn't an opinion or over reaction, I have been going here for 5 years and have had some of the store clerks there express their apologies for the behaviors and actions of their co-workers.Look, this isn't a bad store and there are friendly, personable store clerks. But there are also store clerks there who exhibit behaviors directly correlative to discrimination and bigotry. The past five years going there as needed, needed being anywhere from once a week to three times a week has given me plenty of time to figure out who is which of those. Please understand I wear dress coats, blue jeans that fit with a belt, button-ups, and usually a sweatshirt. I work within the community for non-profits and have for the past 4 years both in two different fields including being a mental health professional. I actively volunteer with organizations to help those in our community. I can go on but the point I am trying to make is I don't even fit the stereotype to discriminate against and even if I did, no one should have to experience this. I am colored though. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and beliefs but in a professional field, being treated poorly is distasteful. I am sick of being treated like a criminal or as if I am sub-human. So to those that are are different in any manner beware.Here are two people to look out for a Caucasian male, early to late 40s or 50s, top-head bald with grey patches of hair on the side of his head, wide glasses with a black frames' approximately 5'9 and 160 lbs. This man follows me everytime I am in the store, once he stopped me at the entrance, raised his voice at me, have his face go beet red while he clenched his teeth and fists, not asking but demanding that I leave my bag with thr service clerk, as I do, everytime they have asked. This man will stand at the end of the aisle I am in, pretend to organize things while poking his head around and staring at me briefly. He does this during my entire visit, im almist every asile, everytime. Whatever his reasoning or culture be, it is unprofessional and even some of his co-workers acknowledge his behaviors as discrimination.There is also a Caucasian female, early 20s, blonde hair, slim glasses with a black frame, approximately 170-220 lbs who will also stare at me in contempt. The type of contempt with hate and judgement.If you want further information feel free to email me.

They have the feel of family. So pleasant to have staff who remember you and are ready to assist a customer with all of their needs. If they do not have a grocery item, they will get it.

I usually shop there but tonight I experienced plenty of staff on hand but unfortunately I ended up having to bag my own groceries to keep the flow going. Not impressed 😒

It is a decent place, but nothing amazing. It has the appearance of being dirty, and basically a run down rural store. Service is good and selection is average.

I spent more money here because I was able to get products unavailable at walmart. Stopped carrying boveril, then campbells cream of onion, etc, etc. bread pudding was the last straw. No longer a customer

Really great place to shop. It is a little smaller. So not everything is carried. But great if you need a few things.

Love this store! Shop N Save is small store which is convient for me to get items quickly rather than walk long asile to get items.
