“If I could give it 500 out of five I would. Staff are all very friendly, the bakery is the best out of any Bashas' I've seen. Store is nice, clean, and brings you back to a simpler time. Love this place.”
“This is my go-to place for my weekly lottery ticket purchases. I'm always greeted when I come in. I don't buy my gas here because I can drive a mile down the road and save $0.25/gallon.”
“This store is smaller than others in the valley, but good nonetheless. There is a small but varied produce section with fresh and tasty produce and ready made items. The freezer sections are about average for the typical TJ’s, but the unrefrigerated sections are quite small by comparison. That being said, they have all the typical staples, so you likely won’t be disappointed. The staff is always very quick and easy to find.”
“One of my favorite grocery stores. The selection and prices are unbeatable. Many prepared food options. Good cheese and meat selection. They also carry a large wine and beer section.”
“I wanted to give a special shoutout to Dimitrius and also Alex the cashier, they showed us top tier customer service and were extremely friendly and nice. Thank you guys!”
“We went and bought a variety of items for about $100. I think we would have spent about $150 or more for the same items anywhere else. You need a quarter for the cart and maybe bring bags. Or they have cardboard box bottoms you can use. We will go back. Kiwis are a great deal.”
“Love Natty G! Staff is friendly and helpful. Do wish the RO water filters were updated more frequently. Some things are priced great, while others are way out of budget. There are some unique quality items that are cool finds.”
“Amazing store kudos to all the employees and management for running this store like a tight ship. It clean' organized and everyone is very friendly and helpful. I also very much appreciate the glutin free plant base options thank you for that. It hard to find glutin free plant base items in a regular grocery store bagels I can find at your store they are on the shelves but I can not seem to find it at a normal grocery store unless it in the freezer section. Many healthy options for me at your store. Thank you for that it will be my new store I visit often .”
“The Carne Asada, and res steak were delicious! Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Very clean. Great selection of pan dulce. Made you feel like you were shopping in Mexico with many of their items that they carried, the culture, the food and the experience was there.”
“I’ve been to several Daiso stores, including the ones in Asia. It’s like a Dollar tree or 5 and Below store but much cuter and all Japanese items. Home goods, school and office supplies, pet items, kitchen tools, personal care items. I forgot to take pics of the pens but they have a lot of variety of pens with all the colors you can think of. This store have self-checkout. It’s very clean.”
“Best Sprouts in the area. We buy for a small business here, and there has never been an issue with stock lacking. Prices are ok for retail grocery. Sometimes the check out line gets long while self machines are down is the only problem we have seen.”
“If you need anything that needs to be organic. This is the place. I've found things here that I've never seen anywhere else that was organic. Highly surprised and happy. There points system for money back is better than sprouts. Wish it was closer to my house lol”
“My wife shops at winco regularly. She shops different locations in the valley based on which direction she's coming home, however, this one is her favorite. It's the cleanest and has friendly employees.”
“Carefree Honey and Stamper’s Cheese are must-stops at this market! This is a great market to bring your dog and anybody experiencing the area for the first time. There’s a woman who has an AMAZING selection of crochet goods, and she’s very humble about her work while being very accommodating to questions and requests. I love this farmer’s market so much, and I’m so glad I live nearby!”
“Aldi's is a smaller shop, but has a great selection of basics. Plus fun stuff, so definitely check out all the aisles. I got a great deal on a rug runner a couple months ago and wish I'd grabbed two now!”
“The tortillas are amazing! Very fair prices and lots of great options to choose from. I love coming here and always find something good. Definitely a great place to shop!”
“Love the bulk items section. You can save a bundle on spices and grains. The employees are very helpful and nice. The customers are too. Thank you to the person who found my wallet in the parking lot and brought it into the store. Greatly appreciated that.”
“Tuesday's sales were awesome on Soup and Bread. Gabe the cashier made my visit extra special with his positive attitude and we had a little fun speaking old English throughout the transaction. Great guy! Shout out Gabe 🌟”
“I've never been to the Food City on Ray Rd. and Arizona Ave before. The people were very nice!!! And helpful. The store was very clean!!! It was a good experience. : )”
“Great experience at Sprouts! The store was clean, well stocked, and had a great selection of fresh, quality products. Lisa went above and beyond with her friendly attitude and excellent customer service, and she made the whole visit even better. Employees like her are exactly what make a store stand out and keep customers coming back.”
“Great location, love the corn/soy free eggs they have but they go out of stock quickly. Now earning points with every purchase! Love the teas and they have some tasty beef tallow chips. Good produce as well as ready made meals and a deli with tons of options”
“Update 6/11/26 Vincent and Marwan continue to make my wife and I great sushi dishes on our visits. They both are very accommodating and do a great job making customers happy! You won’t go wrong eating sushi at AJ’s on Ray with Vincent and Marwan serving you! AJ’s has been one of our favorite stops for lunch including items from the Sushi Bar. Vincent has always made the best sushi for us and is eager to please his customers. You can always depend on Vincent for a great lunch. Thank you Vincent!”
“This grocery store has the best customer service. All the ladies working at the checkout are just good people from my experience (friendly, personable, good attitudes). 5 stars.”
“I’ve had consistently great experiences at Albertsons, especially with their self-checkout area. Unlike many stores, there is always an employee nearby who is ready to help—and they are incredibly patient, friendly, and attentive. If a digital coupon doesn’t apply correctly, they take the time to troubleshoot without making you feel rushed. The whole process feels smooth and stress-free, and the overall atmosphere is very laid-back. What stands out most is the overall feel of the store. Even though it’s a larger grocery chain, this location has a true “local grocery store” vibe. The customer service is more personal, and the staff genuinely seems to care about helping shoppers rather than just moving people through quickly. Another highlight is the butcher and seafood counter. The staff there are very knowledgeable and always willing to help you select the right cuts of meat or seafood. They take the time to answer questions, give recommendations, and are genuinely pleasant to interact with, which makes the experience even better. I also shop at Fry’s, and while I like them, the experience isn’t quite the same. At Albertsons, the level of assistance and personal attention is noticeably better, especially at checkout. Another big plus is their digital deals and rewards program. Albertsons regularly offers strong digital coupons, and their bonus point promotions make it easy to earn rewards. Those points convert into reward cash that you can use on groceries, which adds real value over time. Overall, Albertsons delivers a great balance of convenience, service, and savings. Between the excellent customer service, helpful self-checkout staff, knowledgeable butcher team, and rewarding deals, this is easily one of my go-to grocery stores. Highly recommended.”
“Nice place to eat lunch, we ate early to avoid long lines. Lots of places to eat in the store. Clean. Not as many bathrooms. Fun kids play area. Free parking was one way traffic, not horrible but many delays while people wait for spots and had to walk a ways.”
“Customer for 33 years at this location here (Elliot Rd Ahwatukee). Been using their delivery service for 15 years. It’s fabulous. Easy, not expensive, reliable drivers. Huge Fan. Highly recommend. Their Deli Dept is one of the better ones; the fresh made chicken tenders are great, the staff is helpful, and the salads and pasta salads are consistently good. Quality is reliable. The bakery Dept has some great cakes too. Love the blueberry lemon as well as the strawberry lemon with white chocolate chips. Only complaint is their own brand products are more prevalent than name brands offered on the App for delivery.”
“Thanks to Diana -cashier in Tucson- who covered my bill ($20.44) as I had been hacked and all credit and debit cards were not functional. The next day I was able to go to Wells Fargo to pull out cash and returned her generosity (plus a little extra). New credit card/debit card in the mail and all is back to normal except that I have a new friend - Diana - customer care plus, personable, professional and just a kind human.”
“I Llove Bashas new slogan, 'Better@Bashas!' And I agree. Service, Quality Value... everything really is just a little better from Bashas. This location is no different.”
“Loved the Custom Bakery Cake we picked up on 09/29/2923. It worked great for our large party. It was decorated beautifully and tasted great! It was a marble cake with strawberry filling. It was delicious!”
The Cincinnati-based supermarket giant will open about 110 new stores in fast-growing markets by 2029 and introduce three updated store formats, executives told investors Oct. 20 at the company’s Investor Update in New York. Kroger already runs about 2,700 stores in 35 states. The formats come in three sizes, a bit like small, medium and large, matched to each market. Mary Ellen Adcock, Kroger’s executive vice president and chief merchant and marketing officer, walked through the lineup.
Walmart shoppers want a head start on the holidays, and money explains a lot of it. Some 44% of respondents call affording the holidays their top stressor, and 61% say holiday costs shape their shopping mood. Asked what would make the season easier, 70% picked lower prices and 57% picked more deals and promotions. Convenience ranks lower: 30% want one-stop shopping across categories, and 20% want faster delivery.
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. The grocer also took first place in the American Customer Satisfaction Index's 2026 supermarket rankings. It has held a spot near the top of that list for years.
Target is rolling out its most ambitious store overhaul in more than ten years, with plans to remodel over 130 locations and open 30 new stores across the country this year. The retailer is also putting money into supply chain technology upgrades to keep pace with how shoppers buy today.
