“I love going to this wic store I highly recommend its convenient and way easier than going to a regular store. The owners always make sure that you have everything and they will go out of their way to help you take all the groceries on to your car. They are very polite and respectful! Keep the good work you guys are doing awesome!”
“I love their customer service and the fact that they had the safety precautions like have to wear a mask, one way aisles, and maintain six feet from the start. I only wish more of their customers understood what one way means.”
“Another great grocery store option in Vista. Stater Bros. has great prices, friendly employees, and a good selection of everyday items. Got some dogfood trays for $1 here. The store is well organized and easy to shop. Vista has a lot of good grocery options depending on what you’re looking for. There’s Trader Joe's, Northgate González, Frazier Farms Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, Albertsons … and even Walmart and Target have pretty nice grocery sections too. Nice to have another solid grocery shopping option in the area. ?”
“Sweet people work at this Mexican market. $3.49 for Paletas (Mexican ice cream bars).🍓🍦 These aren’t the typical ones you see at most grocery stores—they have unique flavors like the ones you’d get at a Mexican ice cream shop... the artistic ones with chunks of real fruit. Enjoyed the Fresas Con Crema (strawberries & cream) made with real strawberry pieces inside the cream. Sooooo good 😋 Also nice fresh fruits/veggies and water station to fill up outside.”
“My good friend has a the entrepreneur who has his local Chicano gifts and memorialized merchandise that takes to a simpler time and always brings joy and happiness he is a great Man Father and just generous please support his business.. thank you all”
“I have to give a special shoutout to Mark, who gives out samples at this Sprouts. He has been there for years and is truly such a special part of the store. He is always incredibly friendly, kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable about Sprouts and its products. I genuinely get excited when I see him and am disappointed when I come in and he isn’t working! There is actually a Sprouts closer to my house, but I choose to shop at this location in large part because of Mark. He makes my day every time I see him. It’s also obvious I’m not the only one who feels this way. Everyone seems to know and love Mark. People are constantly stopping to talk to him and try his samples, and his personality makes you want to buy what he’s recommending. He is truly a staple of this store and exactly the kind of employee every company should want representing them. I only wish I saw him more often! Beyond Mark, the store is always clean, the employees are generally very nice, and I really enjoy shopping here. It has become my primary grocery store, but Mark is definitely what makes this particular location stand out.”

She overheard me asking another employee while she was on her break where something was and she stopped in the middle of her break and insisted that she helped me find it! Don’t let this one go she’s a rare one. And if she isn’t in management yet, you’re Doin something wrong ❤️??”
“I am not a fan of grocery shopping in general,. That being said - I quite enjoyed roaming the isles as there were so many products that were cost-effective and everything was so neat an organized. Clearly the people who work here care about the display, the quality and the people shopping. I was blown away. And when I checked out, Liz and Rosie we're so sweet and kind so everything combined makes me wanna go back there and I will. They may grocery shopping a pretty swell experience coming from somebody that doesn't like to grocery shop. Well done stater brothers I was very impressed”

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.
