“This grocery store has everything I need, and the organic section is on point! I love their fresh produce, and the staff is always willing to help out. It's become my favorite place to shop each week!”
“I love this place because they have lot of organic food also very clean also have gulen free too… One lady who know sign language that really help me lot about ask her question where is distilled water? Then answer Aisles #11 … I live in Hercules to go Nob Hill in Martinez…”
“I've only been there twice both times for sandwiches and a little drink and for $7.99. this place is one of the best sandwiches that I have ever had and I don't say that lately because I am in the food industry but for their location and the stuff that they have to do what they do top notch I would give them at least seven out of 10 and it was the same experience last time. I got a different sandwich this time. Same thing. Good bread, good meat. The ingredients are fresh and the people are always very nice. So therefore, like I said even the experience I would give at least a 8 out of 10”
“I had high hopes for this ice cream shop, and while the flavors are unique, I found the service a bit slow during peak hours. The scoop I tried was delicious, but I wish it hadn’t taken so long to get it. I might give it another shot on a quieter day!”
“I'm new to Martinez and I use to shop at Safeway. Not anymore. I really like this Luckys. The ladies in the deli are awesome and everyone else has been very nice.”
“I buy donuts every morning before I go to the office, the employees always say good morning with a smile, they go well with bagel cream cheese because they are made fresh every morning.”
“I enjoyed going to safeway each Store is clean and the merchandise is laid out. Very well the only thing I can say is. It's a tad bit pricey but you get what you pay for hopefully. You have a card for the store so you can get the deals”
“Wow, I have never seen this sampler variety of buttercream-ed cakes at any other Safeway stores besides the Martinez one. At $15.99, this really wasn't a bad deal. It came with 4 flavors: chocolate, caramel, red velvet and carrot cakes, all divided equally into 4 quarters. I especially liked the caramel cake. The buttercream was infused with caramel sweetness, but it wasn't too heavy or overly sweet. The sponge was caramel-y as well. The chocolate cake came close as the second best. I enjoyed the chocolate richness that it provided. Each bite was packed with deep chocolate flavor. I loved it. The red velvet was not bad, but the sponge was kinda lacking in flavor, and the buttercream was definitely cheesecake but it wasn't a really good one. I didn't get to try the carrot cake. I was full after trying the other 3. The calorie count of these cakes really shocked me. The caramel quarter was 1320 calories. The chocolate quarter was 1200, the red velvet quarter was 1280, and the carrot cake quarter was 1600! So, the whole entire cake was 54000 calories!!!! GASP! It was scary, but the cakes were good.”
“It's a Walmart. Among Walmarts this one is quite acceptable. While smaller than many others (though still large), the levels of chaos are below average. I find that the level of chaos is often the most important factor in deciding which Walmart deserves your patronage. I did find the adjustable dumbbells I was looking for. Sadly my novelty browse of the video game section was very disappointing with the shelves being largely empty.”
“I recently came in here looking for soemthing to bake cookies with my daughter for school. They had everything I was looking for. When I had some questions for one of the people working here, I feel they went out of their way to help me with my concerns. They've always had good prices, I do try and avoid walmart whenever possible though as they can be busy a lot”
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.

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.
