“100% recommend this place. 💯 Fresh oysters and Excepcional customer service! They went above and beyond after our instacart order was delivered incorrectly. Dan, the manager, personally delivered the rest and Justine was very professional and friendly on the phone (she was who handled our situation). We are so very thankful and will definitely be buying directly from them again! 🦪 💖”
“I love shopping at this ALDI! They always have great prices, fresh products, and everything I need. It’s so convenient because it’s close to my home, making grocery shopping quick and easy. One of my favorite places to shop!”
“Pick up is fast and easy- Jan and Christopher are on point. My last pick up order was ready in 13 minutes. Though Aldi doesn't have everything I typically use (brown rice), their selection is good and quality is comparable to more expensive options. This location is a solid option for a weekly grocery trip.”
“Jenny & Mike, of Pineapple Kitchen, are theatrical geniuses! They brought their outstanding creative talents and mastery of event planning to life with a Murder Mystery Cruise in our community! Residents embarked on a fantastical laughter filled cruise of intrigue. What a blast to see neighbors bring characters to life as suspicion bounced from one suspect to another. From the welcome toast to the final reveal of the murderer the evening was action packed and expertly performed. We are truly indebted to Jenny & Mike for bringing such delightful entertainment right to our doorstep. Can’t wait to book another exciting event!”
“Not big but lots of Asian nessesities if you cook at home. They are very helpful and also have a back room stocked with cooking and eating utensils and service ware.”
“What are the best cleanest organized Publix I have ever been to in Florida. Way to go management you're doing a wonderful job and keep doing it! I will be back always now that I've moved to Bradenton you are my new store!!”
“Every time I go there, everyone is extremely friendly. The last time I was there, the manager went out of their way to help me to rectify the issues strongly. Recommend this place a lot cheaper than Sam’s and Costco.”
“Publix stores are always well stocked with grocery, bakery, deli and produce items. Their meat and fish selections are adequate. This one is no exception. The store and parking lot are always clean. Only complaint is their higher than average prices but if you shop the BOGO's carefully, you can offset this.”
“Elise, the manager in the meat and seafood area was extremely helpful in explaining their seafood ordering process and rainbow trout availability. Great store and staff!”
“I got a situation here. I ordered a cake to be ready for my nephew yesterday. The lady at the bakery, I think her name is Melanie, she just gave me the best service ever. She made my cake in a really shot time and the cake was exactly what I was asking for. More than happy, she turn a situation in a really great experience”
“Aldi continues to demonstrate just how absurdly overpriced and underwhelming the surrounding grocery stores have become. The combination of product quality, pricing, and consistency here is genuinely impressive. I'm increasingly uncertain why anyone would shop elsewhere unless they have some particular attachment to national brand names, which I find largely irrelevant. A recognizable logo does not make a product taste better. Some particular favorites include the aged white cheddar, organic 85% lean ground beef, nonfat Greek yogurt, organic blue corn tortilla chips, Priano dry pasta, and spinach and herb wraps. These aren't merely acceptable budget alternatives. They're genuinely excellent products that frequently outperform more expensive equivalents. And then there's the Great Pines American IPA. At approximately $8 for a six-pack, this beer is an extraordinary discovery. It rivals considerably more expensive premium IPAs, including offerings from established craft breweries. The flavor is exceedingly complex, with layers of juicy fruit, citrus, pine, and resinous hop character. There's a wonderful interplay between the fruitiness and assertive bitterness, followed by a remarkably dry, clean finish. Despite its intensity, the beer never feels heavy, syrupy, or excessively malty. It's simultaneously substantial, refreshing, and exceptionally drinkable. Apparently I'm not alone in this assessment. Other beer enthusiasts have identified everything from grapefruit rind and herbal notes to stone fruit and an old-school West Coast IPA character, with some comparing it to Bell's Two Hearted Ale. I recently tried Tampa's locally brewed Coppertail Free Dive IPA and found it thoroughly disappointing by comparison. I'd choose Great Pines without hesitation. The fact that the Aldi beer costs substantially less only makes the comparison more embarrassing. Local production and craft-beer branding are no guarantees of quality. This illustrates precisely what Aldi does so well. It offers products that stand on their own merits rather than relying on elaborate marketing, inflated prices, or brand recognition. Meanwhile, Publix continues charging premium prices for remarkably ordinary groceries. Target's grocery operation is even less compelling, with an uninspiring selection and product quality that, in my experience, frequently fails to justify its pricing. Much of the surrounding grocery landscape feels like an endless exercise in charging more while offering very little of distinction. Aldi is refreshingly different. The smaller selection is an advantage when the products are this consistently good. There's less unnecessary duplication, less marketing clutter, and considerably more actual value. The broader grocery industry could learn something from this approach. Quality should justify the price. The price shouldn't be justified by the label. Aldi seems to understand that distinction considerably better than its competitors.”
“I shopped here for nearly 20 years before moving out of Florida altogether. The owners were always super kind and friendly. Store is well-stocked with pretty much anything you could need. Growing up in NW Bradenton, it was a super convenient location to ride my bike to. As I got older, it remained a local staple and many late night snack/beer runs were made here. It is an all-around great store. 5/5 stars.”
“* LONG REVIEW* PLEASE READ! My wife and I went to this location yesterday as we had a custom preordered birthday cake to pick up. Upon arrival at the bakery, we realized that the cake they had given us was not the correct cake. Not a huge deal, but it’s our daughter’s 3rd birthday and we really wanted it to be perfect for her! So, the bakery associate called over the manager whose name is Josh. Josh immediately greeted us with a friendly approach and told us he would make everything right. He proceeded to ask us exactly what the cake was supposed to be and my wife showed him the picture that she had originally showed the bakery before ordering the cake. Josh realized the differences and he immediately took the price tag off of the cake and said kindly, “Here, you may have this cake for FREE since we messed up the order”. We thought to ourselves, awesome! However, Josh was not done there. Next, he stated that the bakery manager, Veronica would be in to close the bakery this evening and that she could quickly prepare our original cake for us as well, also for FREE!! It STILL doesn’t end there… Josh and Veronica then put together a plan to hand deliver the new cake to our home!!! Talk about exceptional customer service! This type of service is the type you would expect in a 5 star high end resort or restaurant. We were completely blown away by how well Josh (the Publix manager) and Veronica (the bakery manager) handled this specific situation. They completely went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure that we were able to give our daughter the best birthday cake she could have ever imagined! This experience will truly stick with me forever as I am also in the hospitality and service industry. This is EXACTLY the way a situation should be shown to new workers in training because of how perfect it was handled!!! PUBLIX CORPORATE- Please, take notice to this very specific situation and make sure Josh and Veronica receive the proper attention they deserve for doing the absolute best they could do!!! We cannot say thank you enough to Josh and Veronica!! We will be Publix customers for life!! -Riley & Morgan Spangler”
“Always find all items fresh! From the produce: fruits and vegetables, too great deli meats, cheeses and hot food with a salad and soup bar. Love the fresh bakery breads and desserts. Great meat and seafood selection and courteous, respectful, helpful staff. I seriously never find anything wrong with their food or service! They deserve 10 stars.”

“Publix 1755 LWR in Bradenton I went to the Bakery just wanting a little something. Looking at the variety to choose from Stacey asked what was looking for as I replied i didn't know. She walked me over to the Danish table. Everything looked so good She said let me see what we have in back. I chose a raspberry cheese and apple strudel. She then bagged it up for me. To me Now that's awesome Customer Service Thank you Nate and Stacey in the Publix Bakery in LWR”
“They have a nice small place. The Mother's flowers were a rip-off , very expensive, but to be such a small place, have a good variety. We got some BBQ meat, and it was delicious.”
“This is without a doubt probably one of the best sprouts locations I’ve been to. The manager markdowns are insane, and the staff is prepping the entire store. Everything is fresh and stocked that morning. I cannot believe how much fresh produce was out. They have multiple sections for drinks and dairy alike, sorting them from dairy free options to protein, and probiotic made getting my morning snack and lunch picked out super easy! Fast self checkout and massive location. Love to see it:)”
“Discount tobacco has lower down their vapes prices. Also the have lots of new varieties add good deals when you buy 2 vapes of anything. Great service here and very polite person work here. We love this place.”
“I love how they transformed this space into a food market with mini restaurant stands inside. It feels like you’re being transported to Mexico or Latin America. I always enjoy the sites and smells of the fruit stands. The agua frescas always catch my eye & i have to get one. Such a special place!”
“GREAT cust.service, very helpful about the dif. types of liquor, their specials, I go there almost every day :) hehehe ?, and same employees have been there for years, ( A rare thing these days!) I don't feel like I'm going to a store , I feel like I'm going to see my friends! Highly recommend this liquor store! ?My ONLY complaint is that they close at 9 o'clock pm!”
“A great Publix, staff is fast and reliable to your needs. Quick shopping for Me. Great location! Obviously the management must be really good here. I did get a box of their fried Chicken and it could have been a little more done around the bone, so I always microwave each piece for about 15-30 seconds to compensate. If I were going on an outing without power I would have them make up a fresh box Thats really done, to the bone. Products are a little higher here, but it’s probably the area it’s in. Deli, cook that fried chicken, for another couple minutes and your problem would probably be solved, and you would get a five star. Store is very clean and in order with other Publix stores I’ve shopped. If they fix the well done chicken in Deli I will change this. The bakery is a 5 star all the way. You’re so close to a 5 star, but underdone food that is fried can be an issue for people.”
“We love what they have and their service. Great selection of brands. We get the BOGO deal email. We drink a lot of La Croix water, but by the time we're running low, another Buy 2, Get 1 is available to stock up! I eat their muffins & Boston Cream doughnuts for breakfast every day. We get Boars Head meat & cheese for lunches. Often get their great fried chicken for dinner.”
“One of the best Filipino grocery stores in the area, super clean, well-organized, and the staff is always so warm and welcoming! ??♥️? Highly recommended!”
“Just the right size... just what we need.. clean and well stocked. Deli carries some items that a larger store did not have and the staff was prompt and friendly.”
“I enjoy everyone works in this store, but today Chelsey, - above and beyond. Not with what he did, but how he spoke WITH me, engaged, respectful! Not that others aren’t! His job was to make sure I as a customer a good service. It felt like so much more.”
“Bought 40 tacos half chicken half asada Everything was made just right on time and very friendly and courteous and they also helped me cary to food to my car. Best tacos ever will definitely come back and order another batch when doing another get together with the family 10/10”
“Subject: Concern Regarding Product Availability I am writing to express my concern regarding the availability of products at your store. I have noticed that certain phones are displayed on the shelves, yet they are not available for purchase. As paying customers, we expect that items presented in the store should be for purchase. If these phones are not for sale, I request that they be removed from the shelves to prevent any confusion. It would greatly improve the shopping experience if customers could trust that the items on the shelves are truly available. I appreciate your time in addressing this matter. Other than this small complaint I enjoy my shopping experience, I always find what i am looking for.”
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.
