Giant Heirloom Market

If you don't get there at just the right time the deli may be open or closed. Prices for products available at a sale price at the Giant branded stores are higher priced at Heirloom.My interactions with staff are good. I have asked where to find something or how to operate the self checkout they were happy to help. The self checkout system is one of the worst in the industry.I believe most of the problems stem not from the managers or staff but can be traced back to corporate.

This market is fine in a pinch but it won't be my go to. Here's why...+'s: Produce section is solid. Reasonable vegan section. Staff is nice. -'s:Total rip-off. You will easily pay twice the price on many things here. Wines are marked up at least $5-10 per bottle over other establishments. Light on the actually healthy food. No non-dairy milks that don't contain chemicals, only gluten free crackers that contain milk, etc. I had high hopes for this place but it was a let down

Cute small store with average prices. People have told me how overpriced the groceries can be; but honestly the prices were comparable to the full size stores.

What a hidden gem! At least for me! I never knew Giant had a specialty store until I accepted an Instacart order to go there.When I first arrived at the store I was pleasantly surprised at how the market had a huge produce selection as a matter of fact most of the items in the store were made fresh. Most of my diet is plant based so I feel like vegans will love this store because they also have a huge plant based section which is hard to find in most regular food markets. Normally we just get a small selection to choose from so I'll definitely be returning just for those reasons.They also have a wine selection, gluten free and health based snacks that you can enjoy! Overall Giant heirloom Market is a small store but it packs a punch specifically for those that are health conscious or follow a special diet! Prices are reasonable as well!

It is my belief that Giant created Heirloom to charge millennials more for the same food by luring them inside with fancy branding and a massive beer/wine selection (seriously, it's huge). They did this perfectly.Whenever I walk into a Giant Heirloom I have such high hopes and I am always disappointed by the selection. The produce is the same but there's less of it. The frozen food is the same but there's less of it. I suppose there is more fancy cheese and wine but probably not more than a good local market.However, my biggest grip about this place is that they have NO Diet Coke. In fact, the have no coke or Pepsi products at all. I don't get this? Are they attempting to seem more upscale by not offering these products? They still have candy bars - what gives?The BIGGEST PRO of this place is their Sushi selection. For the uninitiated, Giant offers half-price sushi every Wednesday. At this location, they were still churning out fresh rolls at 7pm.PRO TIP: Try their Buffalo Chicken roll w cream cheese and hot sauce - its very unique and delicious.I think that Giant can do better than this for a small market like this. If you are going to charge more, offer different products. Hopefully, the regular Giant on the river gets reopened soon!

A new grocery store that is a smaller branch of Giant; welcome into the neighborhood! This location is amazing! It is clean with fresh produce as well as cut produce. It also has local pasta tomato pie and cheeses. It has a vast wine selection as well as organic dairy and a large freezer section this location appeals strongly to families in the area. I can see long lines in the future for Heirloom. (And South Square has some fierce competition!)

I REALLY just come for the sushi!! Ha ha, but this is a great store. Sushi is always banging fresh and delicious. Its is made in store by the sweetest people! Fresh tuna and salmon paired with ripe avocado in the most squishy soft rice/seaweed roll.... what's not to love!? The Outer Banks Roll is my favorite (picture below). Produce is always really fresh here too. I find they carry items difficult to find in other stores. I love the organic nature of the products here. The bread and pastry sections carries locally made breads you can't find in other local grocery stores. The cheese section also has a lot of variety. Heirloom gets extra points from me for their on draft Kombucha bar with rotating flavors. Everyone is so nice here! If gluten-free, dairy free and soy free is your thing than this is your one stop shop.

I love the fact that we have a nice market in the neighborhood. However, I've found Heirloom to be severely lacking in some of the basics. Twice I've popped in for an ingredient I needed for baking or another recipe and haven't been able to find what I need. The selection is just super limited compared to a regular grocery store. That said, I love the specialty items that this store features. There is always fresh, locally-made bread and pastries from Isgro's. They carry Turkey Hill ice cream, which I love. And there is a great selection of cold beverages including local favorites Baba's Brew and Inspired Brews. The beer and wine section takes up a really large part of the store; I wish they'd cut that back to make room for more essentials. However, they do have a great selection and they also have a wine chiller which is clutch when you need a bottle at the last minute. I'm not crazy about self-checkout as the only option but I generally only need a few items at a time so it's not too big a deal.

I stopped in on Sunday during the Odunde festival to buy a couple things and saw a sign declaring that law enforcement prohibited the sale of alcohol during Odunde and encouraging people to stock up in advance. The suggestion that the attendees of Odunde should be denied alcohol when this city hosts sanctioned drinking all the time is gross. 1) Odunde is an African American celebration so one can infer that there's a need to police black people and access to alcohol 2) Odunde has existed for years without whatever craft beer Heirloom is offering and could careless about their alcohol 3) wondering if this biz has done the same for other events?Additionally, the location went cashless to deter cash back purchases and minimize patrons to the store (read: keep peaceful, celebrating African Americans out the store). They alleged they ran out of cash. It was pretty early in the day suggesting that that was not a likely occurrence. Super disappointed in this location. The optics and management of this are gross enough for me to not patron anymore.

Went in for opening day and can already tell that this grocery store will be a great addition to the neighborhood. The store is a bit small so navigation can be tight, but despite the size there is a wide variety of fresh produce and meat products, as well as a robust wine and beer selection. They also have desserts from Isgro Pastries (including cannolis), and I believe they're the only place outside of Isgro itself that has that claim to fame.What excited me the most was the deli counter, which has large, tasty looking sandwiches for only $6 (I did not purchase anything but my coworker purchased the Chickaboom sandwich and was very pleased). Sherrell, the worker behind the counter, was maybe the nicest person on the planet and let us sample everything, even making us sample wraps that weren't on the menu. I'm always on the lookout for new lunch options in the area, and Heirloom is definitely going on my list.
