This Highland Park market offers all the same fresh items as its sister stores.
The parking is ample as its located in a plaza on the corner of route 83/ 94, and shares space with a newer Walgreens, a small liqueur Store, dry cleaners and the Birch Hill Tavern.
HIGHLAND PARK MARKET GLASTONBURY EMPLOYMENT GENERATOR
Even if you don’t live in this area you have heard about this spot on the news during storms when we have all lost electricity for nearly two week, this store was the Only one open thanks to their generator that powers the entire store. I happen to be very lucky as this wonderful little grocery shop is right in my neighborhood, although I usually forget to check in I frequent this place nearly every day for at least 5 years. I will usually drive the extra miles into town and shop there for better pricing and much larger selection. The only drawback? Their prices have definitely followed suit. Staff is nice and they employ the kids from the area, so it’s nice to see them supporting there. Does the trick if you have a botanical emergency. Sushi made there as is the trend, nice deli with trendy fresh made foods, sandwiches to order, delicious bakery, but no florist, just a small flower refrigerator. They still keep the old school fun of the original animatron jungle animals in the corner of produce, but the rest of the store is modernized nicely. Every year they get better, especially after the big expansion a few years hence. That being said, they have consistently upped their game to keep up with the discerning whole foods crowd moving into this area.
They are the only game in (this side of) town. The customer would then go to the store managers (who are extremely fake friendly to maintain the facade of a local family business) and complain about our customer service and get the whole thing comped.Again, this market benefits highly just from their location. We would explain that we are sorry they were not happy with the product but we gave them exactly what they ordered and made it to our standards. Customers would come back after ordering a $40 cake, and while yes, they ate it, they did not like it. The clientele was extremely snobby entitled and the store management enabled them for the sake of keeping their business. One of store managers was extremely demeaning and kind of sexist. Most of their part-time employees are on their parents' insurance anyway, and what kind of family-centered company would want to deny someone coverage that actually needed it. Even though for some reason, in the deli, the threshold was 30 hours, which makes no sense. I worked around 25 hours a week and before by hours were suddenly cut to about 15 hours, which they explained that I wouldn't work so much that they would have to provide benefits. Also, the minimum wage in CT has been gradually rising and those employees who do make more than minimum wage have not seen their wages raise accordingly, so some full-time employees make only a dollar more than minimum wage, event though the difference was more like three dollars before the age increase. After four years, and with my role almost exclusively as a cake decorator which makes $11-13, I asked to be raised to $10 and hour (which the minimum wage was going to be raised to soon anyway) and was denied.
I worked there for four years and assumed much higher skill tasks and responsibility than other employees in my department and never received a raise unless the minimum wage went up.
