Galusha's Inc. - Clinton, Maine

Convenient. I buy gas here sometimes. I wouldn't buy food or anything here. Kinda dirty and poorly kept location.

📢 UPDATED REVIEW OF GALUSHA'S, now that its newly under new ownership AND NONE OF THE OLD EMPLOYEES WORK THERE ANY LONGER! ( I'm referring to the past employees who have been repeatedly mentioned in previous/older reviews, as being exceptionally rude to customers etc. A quick scroll down these reviews and you'll see what I mean. Anyways, they are all gone! )

The first thing I noticed upon entering this store for the first time in a long time, is the owners and employees were friendly! ( Polite on the phone as well) From start to finish everyone working there was prompt, attentive and polite to us.

Second yet HUGE change I noticed; the store is clean! No more layers of dust. There is fresh paint on the clean walls, floors swept, everything on the shelves tidy and orderly. Even new signage. Over all, the entire store has been rearranged and spiffed up! Even the isles are easier and more comfortable to navigate.

There are some new items offered now, amongst many of the tried and true staples many patrons of this store have come to rely on being here. They still offer food to go, and its great. I've eaten pizza there three times in the past two months. Each time I've ordered something slightly different. And each time its tasted great. Prices are fair. And the toppings are generous and taste fresh too. Also they put that plastic food liner stuff on the top and bottom of the pizza, so the grease doesn't leak or soak through the box and the cheese will never get stuck to the top of your box if you accidentally crush it a bit on the way home! (JS..I cant be the only one guilty of doing this a time or two, right? 😅)

Anyways, they are now an agency liquor store too! With a nice selection thats all placed right up front of the store, so its easy to stop in, gas up, grab your snacks or hot lunch and grab an adult beverage to enjoy later on. 👏

Another new thing I noticed, is their selection of seasonal flowers and vegetable seedlings! I bought SIX jalapeno pepper plants, and am going back for some tomatoes too! I only paid $5 and change for them and they were all almost 10 inches tall, hardy and healthy looking! That's less than a $1 a plant! Not bad at all I thought.

They also offer some smoking utensils for fair prices. Tobacco products and pantry staples. Tons of cold drinks. ice cream freezer. Soda. As well as a great selection of candy!

So, if you haven't been in a while, I highly recommend you check it out! And if you have been in the past, and unfortunately had a negative experience, I suggest giving Galusha's another chance. It's truly like night and day there. In the best way possible. I for one, am personally happy to see that this long time cornerstone of a business for Clinton, is getting a much needed face lift and new life breathed into it.🎉 Its now much more on par with the rest of the updates and changes happening around this small town. Evolving and growing.

Just not the same. Stopped in to check it out after it was bought. I knew it would be different, as it should be, when someone else takes over an established business. The man behind the counter was rude and just seemed indifferent to any customers. It felt as though I was a nuisance rather than a paying customer. I won’t be going back.

UPDATED FROM 4 STARS TO ONE:

New owners - who employs people who don’t speak English (most in the US speaks English as far as I know) in a small town (population 3,486 in 2010) and uses a phone translator to communicate.
Wonder how long they’ll stay in business?!

Today I had a troublesome time trying to pump gas there - apparently none of the pumps are working right now.

You can get gas and other stuff up the street near the interstate - they have people there who can communicate properly.

If I could give 0 stars I would. The customer service there is terrible. There are three ladies that are so mean and you can tell that they don’t care about non-regular customers. I have lived in clinton for 5+ years and never have I ever been so disappointed in a small town then I have when going to Galushas. The owner is so nice and friendly but the three ladies that work there arent. I don’t recommend this place because of those ladies.

Just got my first pizza. The best pizza I have had since I moved to Maine. The store is NOT dirty or gungy, like some think. The staff was friendly and the food fantastic. Not to mention the great price. Try them out. It's great!

Just had one of their dagwoods. Fantastic! And it was on sale.

Owner put a returned vape back in package and resold it to me I got home and lucky me opened the already opened vape that didn't work, unsanitary, and fraudulent I will never shop here again

Its a nice store with alot of household and automotive needs along with food and beverages, the staff is very friendly but the food is something else, usually very skimpy on toppings if you order pizza or subs especially for what it costs. I ordered one pizza and one sub here and havnt ordered any since.
