“"I've been a regular at Certified Market in Azusa for over a year now, and I must say, it's my go-to spot for all my shopping needs! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The daytime lady is always so nice and courteous, making sure I find everything I need. And the tall gentleman who works the night shift is not only helpful but also always has a positive attitude. The market itself is well-stocked, clean, and organized. I've never had a bad experience here, and I appreciate the personal touch the staff brings to every visit. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by Certified Market”
“Had the opportunity to stop by do some shopping last week for the first time, currently on crutches due to an injury, a gentleman working on the register( Ramon) saw me coming, approached me and immediately asked if he could help me, his genuine and kind attitude made a difference to make me want to come back, Ramon is always keeping busy, either cleaning the front of the store, or stacking items to make it presentable to the customers. Class act gentleman.”
“Very friendly staff, I come here often and I am always given great customer service. Alejandra is very helpful, attentive, and is always in a great mood which makes my shopping experience pleasant.”
“We’ve been loyal customers since her previous store. The service here is amazing. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, and Alex is just as friendly and helpful. When we walked in today, she recognized us right away, gave us a hug, and was genuinely happy to see us—that kind of warmth is rare. And the food is just as good—my husband loves the habanero chicken she prepares. It’s always fresh, well-seasoned, and full of flavor with just the right kick. You can really feel that they care about their customers, not just the business. It’s more than just a market, it feels like a place where you’re remembered and appreciated. Highly recommend supporting them!”
“Recently renovated under new management and it looks great! A lot brighter, stocked, price tags, even some produce. Happy to see this store thriving and the new owners are sweet. Will be back for all my needs ??”
“The man who owns the store has always been so kind and sweet to the community he is in. Every time i get best teriyaki, i get cash back from his store and he is always so kind to me and my family! Definitely support his store !”
“I was greeted and attended by Marla on 12/15 and I'm so glad people like her exist! She is what customer service used to be pre-pandemic and I'm so glad she has not lost it. I loved that she engaged with me over my breakfast items, asked how I was doing and if I found everything okay. The younger employees could learn a lot from her. Thank you Marla, you made a simple trip very pleasant. Last night 12/27 I was treated by Alan B, as he bagged customers groceries. Great approach! During my visit I asked if there was more tomatillos as it was completely out, he went looking for the attendant in that area, confirmed that he was on his lunch and then proceeded to say "let me go check the back" mind you there were 2 registers open and they were getting backed up. Alan B. back and said they were all out. Sure I left without the tomatillos but it's the fact that he did all he could to help me and then communicated that the shipment would arrive next day. Just like Marla, the younger employees can learn a lot From Alan. This is my home store and it's disappointing that in every visit the customer service is poor! But you both demonstrated awesome service, thank you”

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.
