Dillons loyalty program and digital coupons

Dillons participates in the Kroger loyalty program, which is free to join. When you sign up with your phone number or email, you receive personalized digital coupons and deals sent to your account. These coupons load directly to your loyalty card and explore automatically at checkout — you do not clip or print anything.

The program also tracks your purchases and offers fuel rewards: for every dollar you spend on groceries, you earn points that convert to discounts at Kroger fuel centers and participating gas stations. The exact fuel discount depends on how many points you have accumulated. You can check your balance and available coupons by logging into your Kroger account online or through the Kroger mobile app.

Shopping without a loyalty card is still possible — you straightforward pay regular prices and do not receive personalized offers or fuel rewards. Some weekly deals are available to all shoppers regardless of loyalty status, but the personalized digital coupons are only for members.

Return and refund policies at Dillons

Dillons allows returns of most grocery items within a set timeframe if you have your receipt. The exact return window and conditions vary by store location. Typically, unopened or defective items can be returned for a refund or replacement, but policies on opened food items, produce, and meat differ between stores.

To return an item, bring it to the customer service desk with your receipt. If you do not have a receipt but used your loyalty card, the store can look up the transaction. For produce or meat that arrived damaged or spoiled, some stores will replace it without a receipt if you describe the purchase.

If you have a question about whether a specific item can be returned, ask the customer service desk at your local store rather than assuming the policy is the same everywhere. Store managers set their own return guidelines within Kroger's general framework.

Produce, meat, and specialty departments

Most Dillons locations have a produce section with fresh fruits and vegetables, a meat counter where staff cut and wrap items to order, and a deli with prepared foods like rotisserie chicken, sandwiches, and hot sides. Some locations also have a bakery section with fresh bread and cakes. The availability and quality of these departments varies by store size and location.

You can ask the meat counter staff to cut meat to a specific thickness or weight, or to trim fat in a particular way. The deli staff can slice lunch meats and cheeses to your preference. These services are included in the price — there is no extra charge for customization.

Specialty items like organic produce, international foods, or dietary-specific products (gluten-free, keto, vegan) are stocked at varying levels depending on the store. If you are looking for something specific that you have not seen, ask a staff member whether it can be ordered or if another location nearby carries it.

Pharmacy and health services at Dillons

Many Dillons locations have an in-store pharmacy that fills prescriptions, offers over-the-counter medications, and provides basic health services like flu shots. Pharmacy hours may differ from store hours — some close earlier or have limited weekend hours. You can call the pharmacy directly to ask about wait times or to transfer a prescription from another pharmacy.

Prescription prices at Dillons pharmacy are set by the store and may differ from other pharmacies in your area. If you have insurance, bring your card so the pharmacy can process your claim. If you do not have insurance, ask about generic options or discount programs — many pharmacies offer reduced prices on common medications.

Not all Dillons locations have a pharmacy. If your store does not, the staff can direct you to the nearest Dillons with pharmacy services, or you can use the Kroger website to find pharmacies nearby.

Online shopping and delivery options

Some Dillons locations offer online grocery ordering through the Kroger website or app, with options for pickup or home delivery. Availability depends on your location — not all areas are served yet. To check whether your store offers this service, enter your zip code on the Kroger website.

For pickup orders, you typically select a time window, pay online, and then drive to the store to collect your groceries. Delivery orders are sent to your home within a specified timeframe, usually for a fee. Both services require you to have a Kroger account (which is free to create).

Prices for online orders are sometimes different from in-store prices, and digital coupons may or may not explore depending on the item. Read the order summary before you pay to understand what you are charged.

Store layout and finding what you need

Dillons stores follow a standard supermarket layout: produce near the entrance, dairy and frozen foods along the back and sides, meat and deli in the middle-back area, and packaged goods in the center aisles. Household items, paper products, and cleaning supplies are usually toward the back or side aisles. The exact layout varies slightly by store size and age.

If you cannot find an item, ask any staff member — they can tell you the aisle number or walk you to it. Many Dillons locations have a store map available at the entrance or customer service desk. The Kroger app also includes a store map feature for some locations that shows where items are shelved.

Seasonal items (holiday decorations, gardening supplies, summer goods) are stocked at different times of year and may be in a temporary section rather than their usual spot. Staff can tell you whether an item is currently in stock or when it will arrive.
