“I didn't know how much I loved Publix until they opened one on liberty park. I have to admit to being a bit biased considering we did not have a grocery store in Liberty Park for so long that this was a blessing. However, Publix has so much to offer! They have amazing sub sandwiches that taste incredibly fresh and a very decent deli selection. The store is always neat and organized. They also have a great selection of specialty products that you wouldn't normally see in a grocery store. The thing I absolutely love about this Publix is the customer service. I have about 10 people ask me if I'm finding everything alright before I leave. They also always offer to drop your groceries to your car which is a lovely offer.”
“I truly only have great things to say about this Walmart. Every visit is a great experience, whether I am shopping in store or using grocery pickup. The employees are phenomenal, especially the team members who load groceries. They are always kind, efficient, and helpful. The store is always clean, tidy, organized, and easy to shop in. The recent renovation looks amazing, and I absolutely love the new layout. Everything just makes sense now and it is much easier to get in and out quickly. I especially appreciate that medicine is right near the entrance/exit, which is so helpful during flu season. Prices are great, the produce is almost always fresh, and the bakery is amazing and so yummy. The kind young man who is usually at the self checkout is always quick to respond whenever you need help and makes the process smooth and stress free. Anytime I need assistance anywhere in the store, employees are quick to help and always have a positive attitude. If I had one small wish, it would be for Walmart to accept Apple Pay in the future for added convenience, especially for those moments when you accidentally forget your wallet at home. This location truly sets the standard for what a Walmart should be. Thank you to the entire team for consistently providing such a great shopping experience.”

Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country.
