“Still my favorite aldi. Not a lot of interaction with staff now that most registers are self check out. But when asking staff for assistance, they are super helpful.”

Suran and mathiya. Alternative mathiya was there but taste wasnt prefered because it dont have enough sugar compared to other the one ran out.Good store.”
“This is the only place I go to shop because they have the best and freshest produce and they have really good prices. And yes of course there is a discount of 10% on Tuesdays if you're 62 or older.”
“I feel like a revamp of this store is in order. It feels very cramped in the front check out, and a maze that you're not sure of where you'll end up if you take a turn. Aisles are very narrow , it doesn't feel give a good shopping vibe. Just my opinion. They do have all you need in this store but I like for things to be in an order of necessities.”
“Finally a place that sells lemongrass!! Frozen.. but hey this will do! Customer service was great, and customers were nice. Seems like a very close community kind of market.”
“Mariano's is Chicagoland version of Kroger's. The good part of the store is that they have variety of groceries and choices. However the high prices are a bit discouraging. With their member card (which is free of course), some items often get discounted prices. Overall I recommend trying the store.”
“Consistently excellent service. Every employee I’ve interacted with at this Mariano’s pharmacy has been polite, patient, and genuinely helpful. They take the time to answer questions and make the process smooth every visit. They will help to save money too. Really appreciate this team.”
“For many years, Valli was our go-to-market for food. The variety of products carried is outstanding. They have an enormous selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. Since they get people of multiple ethnicities, they have a very good selection of cultural foods. And, up until a few years ago, their prices were much lower than other stores.When they raised their prices several years ago, we virtually stopped going to Valli on all but a few occasions. This time, we needed a variety of Latin/Mexican foods, so this was our first choice.First, their fresh salsas, guacamole, pico de gallo, and other freshly made items are second to none. They still have the widest variety and quality of fresh fruits and vegetables of other markets I go to. Their milk and dairy products and frozen foods are priced more than most other markets. They still have a great selection of cold cuts, which are a much better value than other deli counters. They have a good selection of fresh meat (and some seafood), including taco meat and fajitas to buy and cook at home. I have never tried their bakery, but everything looks delicious. And they among the the largest selection of fresh-frozen fish in our area.If you need it, they have it. Still, with some of their pricing matching or even higher than the supermarket chains, we limit our trips to Valli when we need something we know we can get at a specialty market or only there. And many of the Mexican and Asian grocers may carry a much smaller selection but have better prices. Still, there is something about Valli - maybe having everything in one place, the friendly and helpful employees, or something else. Valli still holds a place in my heart.”
“I'm terrible with names but the young man at the service desk was awesome this morning. Also, a lady Cathy by the checkout was very helpful. I can honestly say that there is a difference in your staff from night and Day. The girls at the service desk at night or crabby and they don't belong working with people. They have bad attitudes. If they're that measurable they should find a job that they like if they can”
“They have got organic halal pride brand chicken . It’s quality and taste after cooking is excellent. I will definitely come back again and again to buy halal pride brand chicken.”

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.

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.
