“Their deli pricing on sliced meats is fantastic — fresh, high quality, and way more affordable than the big chains. The butchery is excellent, and their budget stretchers are clutch for feeding a family without sacrificing quality. A local market that truly does it right.”
“Great business that treats everyone like family. Nice selection of fruits and veggies. Sandwiches are awesome. The Mural they had painted on the side of the building shows off there commitment to the community.”
“Lil buddies is a spot myself and co workers acquire lunch multiple times per week. The quality and price are unmatched. To get a sandwich under $10 and then additionally sell chips and snacks for exceptionally fair pricing. This is not only a convenience store with anything you could need but an incredible grinder shop with above and beyond service, consistently. Take notes competitors the bar is set.”
“Fabulous store! Had a blueberry paczki and it was amazing! Not overly sweet and with the right amount of tart! They get them from a polish bakery in New Britain (which I'll have to check out). Deli case looked great and will update once I've had an opportunity to try some of their meats. Bought a few bags of corn puffs that I've never seen before.”
“I only shop at Aldi for our weekly grocery trips unless there are a few things they don’t offer that I need. This particular Aldi is one of my favorites. It’s clean and well stocked. I ordered my first pick up order off of Instacart which seemed like it would be easier since I had a sleepy infant with me. And it was! I think there was only one thing on my list they weren’t able to find and that’s less than usual when I go myself. There person who brought my food out to my car was very kind and loaded my groceries into my car for me. The only downside to this Aldi is how busy the parking lot is but it’s also conveniently right off the highway.”
“LOVE THIS STORE!! so hard to find chili pods but this store has almost everything! Chili pods, Mexican candy, pan dulce, etc Will definitely shop here more”
“The people are very nice I wish I caught there name. I pulled in Monday afternoon in my red ford focus, and they told me it’s perfectly fine to be parked and chill out. Even with all the snow they were still open! Very kind very good prices. They even have kitty cat!”
“The staff here is great, they always provide an amazing customer experience. One of the associates, Ali, hooked me up today and I just felt the need to leave a review. They also carry a great selection of vapes/products.”
“One of the last convenient stores, they have done a amazing job restocking, went through a rough patch years ago , if they don’t have it ask and they will get it.”
“Love this Sam’s Mart, I can tell best convenience store around here, they got everything, it’s like Mini Walmart , and big range of Vapes, Nicotine pouches, chewing tobacco, Cigarettes, cigars, with lowest prices around, good customer service, very polite, my favourite Smoke shop”
“The best bakery. Usually good produce. The pizza shop is excellent. Very good selection of Goya products. The self check out is the easiest to use of all stores I have ever used.”
“I like this Location better than the Holyoke one . It is always very clean and tidy . they also have a huge selection of basically anything you need to shop for . The employees are also very nice and helpful. I've never had a bad experience here”
“I shopped at Big Y this evening and I was blown away by the service! My first stop was the hot food area. The item I was going to purchase had 2 different prices so I asked the first person I saw which price was correct. He said he was not sure (I guessed that it was not his department but he didn't say that it wasn't), but he would tell someone who could help me. He walked over to the person in charge of that department, pointed out who I was and the issue at hand. The young man in that department replaced the bag and printed out the price that was labeled and scannable. Next, over to the Deli counter. The lady behind the counter cut my cheese to the thickness I desired. I walked down several aisles and was amazed at how clean and neat the entire store was- from where I was walking I did not see anything out of place. On my next stop I needed someone taller than me to reach my item. The young man who came over to help me was just as friendly. Finally at the self-check out I was assisted by a young lady who also helped me. At this point, I asked to speak with a Manager who greeted me with a smile and a pleasant disposition. I had to tell him that my entire shopping experience was INCREDIBLE! Every person I encountered actually LOOKED at me, SMILED at me and was very friendly. It was clear they wanted to be where they were this evening. THAT is customer service. I should have rang that bell longer!!”
“I go to Dollar General frequently and I think all the employees are polite and very friendly! I buy my soda there because they have the best prices around!l Like some others have said they have great prices on snacks too!I also like that it's close to my house so I can walk there easily! I'd like it if they would open more checkout stations it can be quite inconvenient at times overall though I think they do a great job 👊✌❤”
“I drive over from Massachusetts just to go shopping here! I love this store! Friendly associates, decent prices, and a wide variety of items to choose from! Stop in! You will not be disappointed!”
“I needed help finding a few items, and instead of just pointing me in the right direction, Arben personally guided me to everything I needed. He was efficient, knowledgeable, and most importantly, genuinely friendly. He’s definitely an asset to Stop & Shop. That level of service and personality is rare these days, and it made a real difference in my experience.”
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.

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.
