“Cute little spot! Came in to get some smoothies, had the pb & green smoothie and they were delish! Melina was helping us & she couldn't of been nicer! Great conversation and really welcoming! Its hard these days to find friendly customer service- MELINA NAILED IT! Great job!”
“Don't go here if you're hungry!! They have everything from sweets to prepackaged to order ready meals at very reasonable prices!!! Fresh fish, fresh cut meats, everything you could need to prepare a fresh flavorful meal!!!”
“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!”
“Always come for dollar tacos on Tuesday and Thursday. Now I don’t just come for Tacos, they have lots of foreign items and organic produce also the mujeres in the front are all dolled up ?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”
“I first went to an Aldi in 2016 when I lived in Ocala and have been impressed ever Since. I grew up in Batavia Ill which is where Aldis corporate office is. There was an Aldis in Aurora I'll. My parents never went. Now that I'm an adult I'm saving alot when I go to Aldi. I was just talking about how customer service has gone down the drain. But everyone at every Aldi I have ever gone to customer service is spot on. Love my bagels and fruits there,and the cheeses Yum 😋 Thanks Aldi”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Added 7/20/25 Still choose this one over Palmetto, even though I am literally next to that store. It's older, very dingy and dirty, and the turnover of staff since January has brought a very dark and angry cloud to that store (Palmetto). Love the new store. All aisles are wider. Layout familiar to other locations. Really appreciate self-checkout. While I understand the cashiers are being held accountable for their scanning times, I absolutely LOATHE that my purchase is often bounced, bruised, and haphazardly 'chucked' into the awaiting trolley. I don't spend my time selecting good produce, only to arrive home to it battered and beaten. Sign me up for self-checkout every time. Updates 7/26/26: I still drive to the Parrish location over the closer Palmetto store. Still for the same reasons. I may be the only one, but at ALDI specifically, self-checkout RULES! Noone can bruise or bounce my fresh produce, they can't place a gallon of milk on my tortilla chips, nor can they place food items with cleaning products!”
“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”
“Bianca outstanding representative of Publix as she went over abd beyond for me on a personal request to locate my car which had been stolen as I live one hour away so she was professional compassionate and called me right away to advise she had located my car. Happy customer of Publix since 1991”
“This is by far the best ran Publix in the Parrish area. The two on Moccasin Wallow can’t compete with this one despite being much newer stores. This is a larger size store that’s clean and well stocked. Great staff and managers.”
“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!”
“* 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.”
“One of my favorite grocery stores! ALDI always offers great prices, quality products, and a nice selection of fresh groceries. Shopping here is always quick, easy, and enjoyable. I highly recommend it!”
“every single thing a cook could want . Latin cuisine focused ingredients . the place smells Incredible & introduced me to many ingredients & traditional dishes as my dearest friends from Venezuela, Puerto Rico & the Dominican Republic took me on an educational trip to this Oasis for traditional abuelas & their friend who loves everything about their culture.”
“Mashallah it’s an amazing store. I’ve been shopping here for long time. I NEVER had any item expired or spoiled. Always nice smell inside, clean. They have nice selections too. They don’t lie. We (muslims) look at kosher / halal in same way. Its done in strict manner. Many talk about prices, “ what you want them to sell for $1” ? Of course not! Alhamdulillah i’m happy this store is here! Nice tea section aswell ! And sweets”
“Nick at Publix pharmacy is the best pharmacist in Bradenton. This is the best Pharmacy around everyone inside here is friendly and helpful. When C.V.S refused to fill my medicine unless I had health insurance ( and told me no one else would fill it either ) i finally got ahold Of Nick from Publix Pharmacy on Manatee Ave who took care of me over the phone. And had my meds waiting the very next day. Definitely recommend this pharmacy. They are professional as it comes.”
“Very upsetting that it only takes your money, no refunds. They should know better it is not working and put a sign.*UPDATETwo days after my review, I saw they were fixing them. I went later that day and this time it was working fine. I hope it continues that was. I love their water! Ice bags are pretty big for the price. After all i upgraded the review to a 5☆”
“Everything is perfectly shelved,staff is extremely helpful. Pharmacy is 'on it' Friendly and knows us by name and what we ordered! Love it there. Everyone likes having their name remembered.”
“I would hardly get through my work weeks if it weren't for my beloved Publix deli & cold bar! This location has an excellent, fast & friendly staff, always well maintained and clean, great manager team.”
Walmart just launched Realm, its new 3D online shopping platform. To help you visualize what that means, imagine a virtual mall packed with bright colors, wacky landscapes, and cartoon avatars wandering around. Realm lets you browse "digital doubles" of real Walmart products by navigating through several make-believe worlds. "We believe this is the future of commerce," said Justin Breton, who leads brand experiences at Walmart. "It won't replace our website or app, but will complement them."
Target's new low-cost brand Dealworthy is rolling out this month in stores and online. With items starting at under $1, it is aimed at budget-conscious shoppers. The low prices on basics like phone chargers, paper plates and underwear will likely appeal.
Walmart is growing the number of its physical stores across America. The retail giant announced plans to open 150 new U.S. stores over the next five years while remodeling 650 current locations. This ambitious plan shows Walmart is still confident in real stores, even with online shopping booming. The chain currently operates over 10,000 stores nationwide.
Popular Florida-based grocery chain Publix is venturing into uncharted territory - Kentucky. Come 2024, Publix will unveil its inaugural Bluegrass State locations, comprising six stores sprinkled between Louisville and Lexington.
