“This is the third time I have been to this store at 8:20am and they have not been open . If you don’t have the employees to open on time change the open time so people don’t waist their gas driving here .”
“I have to say, I was VERY impressed to come into this store. Ive never heard of you all before, (as im from the South West) but I wanted ANYTHING other than Walmart. You all were not only clean, had good prices and exceptional selection, but your deli, and produce is off the charts! You guys had EVERYTHING I was going to need to get at walmart and SO MUCH MORE! I saw a lot in the deli and produce sections I have never seen at a large box store. Awesome inventory. As if this stuff wasnt enough, I was ALSO totally taken back by the friendly demenor and personal service I got upon check out. A young man even bagged my groceries for me!!!! ***THANK YOU for understanding what customer service is*** and for just being a GREAT alternative to the large corporate stores! I am sold and will be buying the bulk of my groceries here from now on! Your alls inventory/options AND customer service WAAAY beats walmart!! Keep on doing what youre doing. Much love from this guy!!!!!”
“The store was clean and bright. While shopping I renewed my registration for my car at the kiosk so it was very convenient. Although I really wish the state would stop charging fees to use cards when it doesn't accept cash.”
“1st time there, store was well stocked, and my checkout was great. They have self checkout!! which had me in a aww moment, because I'm from the city, and I wouldn't have thought to see such an upgrade? LOVED IT”
“I really like this little store a lot. When my brothers lived in the outskirts of Atlanta, some 50+ years ago, there were a couple of small mom and pop stores within walking distance of our home. We would sell coke bottles and then go to the store for a sackful, and I do mean a sack full of candy back then. This little Indian Springs store so puts me in mind of those days so long ago. Thanks BIG Chief, and don't change a thing. Thankfully, Paul”
“Shopping experience was ok picked up a few items we needed and some Easter candy and dropped off a Fed X package while there. Dollar general does have some employees that just sit on their but, I mean really in the isle either playing games on phone or talking to someone very loud on speaker phone. I seen both this trip and last time I was there. Same employe same isle. I actually videoed it and showed both to a manager this trip.”
“Real neighborhood corner store. Staff is really friendly and welcoming. I’ve been living here 5 years and I’ve never had any issues. No crime. Safe and clean. Thank you!”
“I went for one thing and one thing only : SUPER DONUT. Online showed they had them available individually and it seemed too good to be true, but when I walked in, I found them near the front of the store immediately! They tasted exactly as they did when I was in grade school. They even had Super Bun - the best honeybun in school! Such nostalgia.”
“This is a nice medium sized hometown grocery store, they have good fresh produce a deli that serves breakfast and lunch and a good meat selection, You're not going to find four or five brands of the same item here as you would a larger grocery chain but That is to be expected.”
“This store has cleaned up their act within the past few months. They have a lady that started about that time. Its more organized, cleaner. The staff for the most part are friendly. Some overly but it is a convenient store to my home. They have a respectable personable young manager. And he is not that guy”
“Very friendly guy behind the counter who was extremely helpful. He even let me plug in my phone charger and just hangout for about 10 mins waiting. Hunts Brothers pizza, plenty of drinks available...well stocked.”
“This review is for the Kroger PHARMACY. I'm pretty much homebound so haven't been inside the store. I just want to say that I have saved a LOT of money through their special programs, but more important is the quality of all the folks I've dealt with over the phone from this department. They have been incredibly helpful, respectful, kind and go out of their way to make things go smoothly. This is a true opinion and I'm giving it after dealing with them for over 2 years. My ex was a pharmacist and I'm well acquainted with how much pressure they must work under, and can't even put into words how much I appreciate their help. It's something I don't run across often enough these days! Thank you, Kroger Pharmacists and staff! You're wonderful!”
“Always a great experience! Management & Staff are outstanding. Selection of specialty items good. Numerous I items you can’t find at other retailers. Clean, helpful and safe location.”
“I don't use this store often and I heard an employee curse as I entered and later the same employee spoke rudely to another employee.No masks.Limited stock.”
“Overall the Locust Grove Walmart is a nice walmart. They tend to keep the store fairly clean. They do need to start working on some items as it has been open for some time. They do have a fair selection. They do have an assortment to include the pharmacy, garden section, and other things. Overall I would recommend”
“The Man working today at 1:30 was the nicest and helpful person working in Dollar general I have ever come across in this company. I refuse to even go in the smaller ones cause they are rude and lazy but this guy was on it clean and efficient.”
“I would like to address some of the comments being made regarding the store’s management, as many of them do not accurately reflect what I have personally observed. The manager consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic and takes pride in ensuring that the store operates smoothly and remains well-maintained—often exceeding the standards I have seen elsewhere. From my perspective, she handles challenging situations with professionalism, even when faced with difficult customer interactions. For example, in a recent situation I witnessed, the concern stemmed from a misunderstanding regarding store pricing. The customer insisted that discontinued items should automatically be marked as clearance, which is not necessarily the case. Despite the confusion, the manager handled the matter appropriately with her assistant and with patience. It’s important to recognize that retail employees and managers often deal with a wide range of customer behaviors, and they deserve to be treated with respect and courtesy. A little kindness and understanding can go a long way in creating a more positive environment for everyone involved. I encourage others to be more mindful in their interactions and to consider the challenges that come with these roles. Respect and civility should always be a priority. It is unfortunate and unfair to see inaccurate and misleading statements being shared about management here. She has a great team and from experience. The team consistently puts forth strong effort and often goes above and beyond to help and maintain a positive and well run environment.”
“I've been to alot of dollar generals and have meet a lot of employees. While visiting this location I've encountered some of the most friendly and helpful employees. It was such a pleasure to be able to shop and receive friendly faces, kindness, patience. I will definitely be going back to this one.”
“Good gas, just don't like the air pump here, it doesn't give u full power it's more like, pumps a little, stops then pumps again, stops, like in increments, it should be wide open if ur paying for it. Took forever to fill 10psi on 1 tire”
“One of the workers went the extra mile and went to the back to see if she had any chicken noodle soup because they were sold out on the shelf. Great customer service.”
“Dollar General is quite the convenient spot to shop when you don’t want to hit up a big box. Almost always I find what I need and probably way more than I need honestly. Each time I walk in I am greeted and they know me and my kids from frequent visits. My kids want to go there every day. The staff is quite helpful and anytime I am looking for something and it’s not in stock Kate will let me know if/when it will come.”
“But please fix those credit card/debit machines. All the employees that work there are awesome. But evidently corporate does not respect that. Corporate needs to remind themselves that rural Americans need the money that we spend in DG every day. And quit threatening employees with jail if the sell cigs. WE KNOW. You don't like smoking. WE KNOW you don't like smoking but you cannot expect the rest of America to have the same feelings that you do. I bet you anything that you have a issue that we don't like. 🫶 You need us customers more than we do. Remember Uber is right around the corner 🤣🤣🤣”
“Love this location especially Gary! The staff are all so helpful. Customer service is amazing and respectable. I stop by at least weekly. Items are seasonably advertised and organized. Again thanks for all that you guys do!”
“This pharmacy is a little different than some. The wait time is usually a bit . While that isn't a good thing, they say they're working on it. They don't really carry a lot of Diabetic insulin. That's a corporation thing. The personnel are good folks.”
“i'm disappointed that you were out of potatoes. I was looking to make a meatless meal for dinner tonight. I'll check back later in the week and get them .”
“I like going to grab quick items here they workers are always friendly and helpful. Just wish they can have the contactless payment work. For Google and Apple. That would make getting in and getting out better and efficient”
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.
