“I was in Publix 8/9/26 and I must say the employees are incredibly wonderful. Manager Ben assisted me with a few items I had trouble looking for, he even went out his way to check the back for more. Megan & Mari is who I checked out with and they were so patient, kind, and sweet! Keep up the great work! :)”
“This Aldi's has only been this this area just under the year maybe... Never have to look for parking and I have never had an issue being able to find handicap parking. That cart system should be used by everyone ..cause I safely say I have never seen. Them in the parking lot or anywhere in Ruskin...The staff is so nice from time we walked in the store walking out . The produce section complete full of fresh fruits and veggies. This is now my go to Aldi's for me... My store I usually go to in Riverview is in bad traffic, I don't. Like going to it because of the construction 🚧🚧🚧 when you need someone to ask a question there is no one there and no on will acknowledge your there ...

“Love this place and the convenience of it since we moved here 2 years ago and it's only 30 seconds drive from our house. I love all of the people who work there and they can't help it if it is so busy at that particular Dollar general! Although they do have a new person working there named Gnat that should learn how to slow down, be less rushy with customers when they are trying to use the right card payment and tame back the sarcasm a little when asked for your name, with a smile and a pleasant voice, if I might add ? she will know exactly who wrote this, and if not, then she's either not paying attention or is a liar ?♀️”
“The owners of this convenience store are the nicest people! The store is well kept and the prices are reasonable. It is a great place to stop by for a quick intermission on the road.”
“The lady’s in here are so nice and the manager really does care about her store . It is VERY clean and organized! Its probably the nicest dollar store I’ve seen! If i had loved closer this definitely would be my go to store !”

My name is Diana SIENKIEWICZ I shop there on Monday October 3rd or 4th and on Saturday the on Saturday the 8th of October while I was out of town and they were the most lovely people there was an excellent staff at that store and they were exceptional above all.

And pray Jesus protects them and keep them in all their ways for being such kind people, Wal-mart is lucky to have them.”

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.
