“I like Fareway. Hard to afford the meat sometimes. Speaking of which I gave a 4 until I know for sure what happens with the livestock during all this process. But I really like it over HyVee I don't trust that place employing owned? Surrre. I.will stick with FAREWAY thank you”
“Like other Aldi, good selection of food and merchandise. Still not quite the same as our original experience in Germany, but not too bad either. First time we've lived near one here in the USA. Nice to look through their weekly ads and specials, never know what you might see.”
“I come to this fareway regularly for my groceries and they never disappoint. The staff is beyond friendly and helpful, the sales are truly UNBELIEVABLE and I am always in and out in a timely manner. This specific fareway will continue to have my service for all the reasons named above. Well done to the entire staff and management!”
“I’ve been shopping at this location for almost 6 years, and I’ve generally had positive experiences. I truly enjoy most of the employees I interact with, which makes this situation even more disappointing. Today, April 24th (my daughter’s 1st birthday) I came in to pick up a cake I had ordered two weeks in advance for her birthday. I was really excited to see how it turned out, but when it was handed to me, I was immediately disappointed. It looked nothing like the reference photos I had provided. When I expressed my concern, the decorator explained that she made it that way so it “wouldn’t dry out,” which was never mentioned at the time of ordering. I ended up returning the cake and walking away, already upset. While grabbing a small item for my daughter, I noticed the same baker shrugging her shoulders and saying “oh well.” That attitude was honestly more frustrating than the cake itself. I’ve never experienced this kind of dismissiveness here before. I do believe I spoke with the bakery manager, and she did offer to discount the cake or remake it, which I appreciate, but at that point, I was too upset and just wanted to leave. This was a really important day for my family, and the experience fell far short of expectations. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so future customers don’t have a similar experience. Edit: Thank you Alban for righting your wrong! The replacement cake was incredible! My kids, husband and the rest of my family really enjoyed it”
“The new hyve on nw state n orlabor i believe is such a clean place to be in..its super easy to maneuver and find whatchu need, and the people at the meat counter are super chill and our bagger was awesome”
“We chose to check out in a lane that had a first day cashier. The girl bagging the groceries was very helpful to him and us. He accidentally double charged us and the girl took it upon herself to get the approval from management to get it deducted and get us going to keep the line moving!!! Very impressed!! Thank you to the two working isle 5 today!! You are what Hy-Vee is supposed to be!!!”
“Grocery pick up service is very good. I seldom find poorly chosen produce or other fresh products. They must be checking expiration dates like I do! We are in communication by text while they are shopping my order suggesting substitutions. They are Friendly careful handling bags into my car. This service saves me a lot of time trying to find everything. Thank you!!”
“Laura was very kind and helpful. Offered me a coupon and helped with my bags. Lady in front of her accused her of making a racially profiled comment which was not true. Laura is amazing and I hope her day is very good.”
“Everyone on the team is always very busy but they also do all they can to provide great and respectful service to the patient. While also going above the standard when someone needs extra help with any concerns. Someone will always explain any new meds as well as refills if needed. I have never had an issue at Hyvee. Other pharmacies are awful compared. The app is also straightforward to use. I’ve gone to this locations for many years now”
“Had a great experience on 2/20 at 7:30PM with the team leader Marissa. We were looking for a certain type of bread and it was not stocked on the shelves. On a day that they were obviously short staffed, she took the time to assist us. She dug through the back of the store and the freezer to find the specific bread we wanted. She didn't have to do that and probably had 1000 other things to do that night but she went over and above. I definitely appreciate her efforts!”
“Been doing business with Sysco for past 7 months in Ames.. Setting up account was easy. Delivery always on Time and the Sales Account Executive - Paul S. is sharp as a knife to stand behind and service the customers regardless of minor issues. Running a business is not easy and certainly having a good partner like Sysco makes it easy to service our hotel guests.. Thank you Sysco Team for putting Service back in business.”

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.
