“This is my local spot for any booze or snacks/grocery items I need whenever I'm in a hurry or don't feel like driving. Although the prices are a bit higher than a big Grocery Store or a Bevmo (maybe a 10-20% markup), the convenience factor usually makes it worth it. In regards to booze, their beer selection is quite impressive...they have all the regular stuff (Budweiser, Coors, etc.), but they all have a decent selection of craft brews. Their wine selection is also quite decent, with multiple aisles nicely arranged. The liquor selection is equally sufficient and you can usually find whatever bottle you're looking for. Lastly, the grocery/food/snack selection is limited, but it'll cover all your basic needs. The staff is great...always friendly and polite. They've been in the area for a while (I've been here for 20+ years) and have become a staple in the neighborhood. Hope they stay around for many years to come.”
“My favorite neighborhood market. ? They have everything you could possibly want from cat food, huge selection of wine, snacks, to ice cream and kimchi! Lucy is the best. ? I genuinely look for reasons to pop in.”
“Wow! I loved how carefully everything was packed and the customer service was fast when I asked about the shipping. You guys deserve 5 stars and now I know where to get Brazilian things for me and to send it to my sons! Muito obrigado ❤”
“Such an awesome store. Clean and well organized. Nice selection of items. I like how I can refill my own small jars without having to buy a big bag. People working there are always nice and they also sell some fresh produce and amazing sourdough bread!”
“Huge shoutout to Rachel and Victor at the customer service desk! I came in needing help with a donation order, and they were both incredibly kind, helpful, and professional. They heard the complication I had and went above and beyond to fix the problem in a fast way. I was really impressed with their customer service — highly recommend this Trader Joe’s!”
“This review has definitely been a long time coming ? Burn 60 has been such an amazing addition to my routine. Before joining, I was consistent with my workouts — mostly spin — but I knew I needed to incorporate strength training and do more than just cardio. Working out has always been an outlet for me to release stress. Since coming here, I feel so much more balanced. I still get the stress relief I’ve always relied on, but I also feel stronger, more energized, and more consistent than ever. The classes are challenging in the best way and have really helped me build strength and endurance — I never thought I’d say this, but pull-ups have become one of my favorite exercises. What really makes this place special, though, is the people. The coaches and members create such a welcoming and supportive environment. There’s a real sense of community and belonging that makes you actually look forward to showing up. It never feels intimidating — just positive and encouraging. It’s become such a meaningful part of my routine and honestly one of the highlights of my week. I’m really grateful to have found this place. If you’ve been thinking about trying it, I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot. It’s a supportive, high-energy environment that meets you where you’re at — and keeps you coming back.”
“Love, love, love Trader Joe's! This store has everything! And a lot of different, unique items that you don't find anywhere else! And its all reasonable priced! And all of their employees seemed to be chosen by their level of friendliness!”
“Trader Joe's, West Los Angeles on Olympic. Quick and easy shopping and check out. Great selection of cookies, nuts, wine, sodas, meat and fish. Chips of all sorts. Good prices. Nice parking, easy street access, right next door to Ralph's making it possible to do price comparisons on the spot.”
“selection & service BAR NONE!! had a recent health scare and TJs has been very beneficial in keeping me alive!! Brendon, Robert, Claire & Jonathan are my go to's!! always friendly and really helpful”
“We ordered a standing rib roast and Juan cut the meat from the bone and made it so easy to cook and serve. It was an amazing piece of meat and our guests raved about it.”
“Great food and shopping experience. If you like browsing for new food choices...a blast. Also great for shopping for small households. And if you are someone who does not cook but wants to eat better quality food, Trader Joe is your friend. LOTS of great choices.”
“Trader Joe’s is always a great experience—clean, well-organized, and full of unique, high-quality products at great prices. Friendly staff and fun seasonal finds make it a favorite.”
“Some of the best homemade pickles I’ve ever had. The crunch is superb and that taste is always perfection. Been a long time customer and have even shipped some of their online shelf stable pickles to friends and fellow pickle lovers. My favorites are the spicy garlic spears, low heat but delicious flavor. The jalapeno pickles are my favorite. These are refrigerator pickles so not mushy or sealed in a jar, just fresh crunchy pickles. It’s hard to not drink the brine as well. So good. Some wacky flavors as well, the honey mustard are not tangy like most pickles but if you bring them to a bbq or put them on a burger so chicken salad sandwich you’ll be the hit of the party! Can’t rave enough about this wonderful business.”
“Hey yall ? so I was on the hunt for these scooby snacks my friend's brother told me about that he got from trader Joe's up north. So I head to traders Joe's on Sepulveda store #33 and as I'm looking for them I can't find them because i dont know the name or have picture. But i gave her a brief description ans she says lets find them. We looked but was unsuccessful but she says wait we going to find them. And she recruits Ms.Veronica..so we all look off the description i gave but none was on the floor. Then Ms.Veronica says I believe another customer asked about these let me go to the back and see what I can locate. Did i mention they are seasonal So a few minutes or so passed and then them doors swung open and he comes Ms Veronica with a box of the scooby snacks i been tastings allday long at work. You get a bag, you get a bag and you get a bag ???? You know Ms.Stacy could have been like nah we don't have any or no I don't know what you talking about.

“When it comes to bread, this is the only place I’d ever choose to shop, as they offer an incredible variety that’s hard to find anywhere else. From freshly baked loaves with perfectly crisp crusts to soft, fluffy rolls and unique specialty breads, every visit feels like discovering something new and delicious.”
“Thank you for this Manhattan Beach location ?Always clean and well organized, stocked up well everyday. Friendly, helpful staff, enjoyed shopping at this long time location, while living in Hawthorne, California.”
“It's always a good day when we got get snacks for my son & me... We will always get one new item to try but since I have an autistic 6yr he tends to have his favorites..”
“Was so excited to learn this local family owned business uses Stumptown beans for their coffee drinks. They make their lattes with love at an unbelievably low price and they offer a wide selection of milk options. Their deli sandwiches look delicious and pastry case is solid. The staff is amazingly real, upbeat and friendly. Love the comfy, low-key, unpretentious atmosphere. A real gem in Venice. Will be a regular.”
“Best Trader Joe's in all of L.A. Seriously, you want find a nore friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Plus, if you're driving - the best parking situation for any of the Trader Joe's in the West Los Angeles area.”
“It’s a bit slower compared to other places, but that actually makes for a more relaxed shopping experience. The staff are very friendly as well — highly recommended.”
“Blessings to the checkout person who uses my preferred pronouns without me having to say a word. Every Trader Joe's employee deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. This location is small but the staff are efficient and mighty.”
“Dennis - Thank you kindly from both my partner & I. Come from Australia & to go from a simple hello to one of the best encounters we have ever had. Appreciate the man you are & your intent on showing us your country! World Class. Edit : Just found out you’re The Store Manager. Could only imagine the insane team growing from your leadership.”
“Granny’s is the cutest and most quaint little deli in the Hermosa Beach area. Historic and family owned, they are very friendly and won’t hesitate to tell you their favorites. The Sandwiches are so great, this is a must visit if in the area! (Cajun Turkey w/ Munster, the works)”
“You can never go wrong going to Trader Joe’s WeHo! You’ll get the best customer service attitude from their cashiers or any staff here, super friendly and helpful. Thank you for your excellent service guys!??”
“Has most of what you need, great place to get multi-colored carrots. Family likes to get things we can't get from the nearby farmer market. Love the healthy snacks.”
“Parking is free in the subterranean parking structure which is accessible from either Crescent Heights or Laurel. Be sure to park down on level 3 for the direct elevator into the Trader Joe’s store, and get your parking ticket validated before you exit to save you the trouble of having to repark to go back and get it! (Been there, done that, not fun! lol!) TJ’s staff are always personable and will help you find whatever you’re looking for. Grab the TJ’s flier at the front to get the 411 on this week’s deals and promotions. Try something new! There’s always interesting additions to their offerings and you just might find a new staple - I have!”
“Trader Joe's is Trader Joe's! Sadly, their prices are starting to climb but its still less than most traditional markets. The employees are terrific and helpful. They will help you find most anything you need.”
“I’m not as loyal to Gelson’s as my parents were, but they still have the freshest salad bar and the best deli/fresh food options. And everyone who works at this location is lovely, friendly, helpful and so patient!! Shout to Claudia and Carissa in the bakery, who always go the extra mile for my mom and I, and to Lenny at the register, who always manages to put a smile on my face!!”
“Trader Joe’s This Trader Joe’s on Burton Way quietly does everything right, which is rarer than it should be in this part of town. Beverly Hills can lean toward the chaotic when it comes to grocery runs, but this location feels controlled, almost intentional. The first win is parking. There’s a dedicated garage with validation, and it actually works the way you hope it will. No circling, no stress, no passive aggressive standoffs over a spot. That alone puts it ahead of most nearby options. Inside, the layout is clean and intuitive. You can move through the store without friction, which sounds basic but is not a given. The aisles are well spaced, sightlines are clear, and nothing feels crammed. It makes a quick trip stay quick. The staff stands out. Friendly without trying too hard, helpful without hovering. You get the sense they know their inventory and take a bit of pride in the place, which shows up in the overall energy of the store. Stock is consistently strong. Fresh produce looks cared for, not picked over. The healthy options are abundant, from simple whole foods to Trader Joe’s more curated staples. And the pricing remains one of the best value plays in this area, especially compared to nearby markets that charge a premium for less. It is not trying to be flashy. It is just efficient, well run, and dependable. In Beverly Hills, that is a competitive advantage.”
“Northgate Gonzalez has the best deal on tortillas of flour. Also the taste better. Many Mexican food products and of course products from US. They also have a hot deli area to eat some authentic Mexican food delicious. I recommend this to everyone no matter what your nationality is ethnicity, nor state, country you're from, everybody's welcome here and try it out. They also have a very good meat department, fresh cuts from chicken pork beef, they also have a fresh seafood section. Al la Mexicana style.”
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.
