“It's impressive that I remember getting bargains at Aldi as a kid. Then for years, I flirted with other supermarkets (usually due to location), but this particular Aldi is a real pleasure to get groceries. And of course, they have deals Galore and excellent produce.”
“This is without a doubt, one of the cleanest stores I have been in to shop in a very long time. The employees were very friendly and helpful. Well stocked competitively priced overall great shopping experience! Kudos to the manager and training staff for doing a great job with your employees.”
“We love shopping at Aldi, ESPECIALLY now with today's grocery prices. Despite being cheaper, the quality is no different. My only complaint is that it seems like it's always been understaffed, I feel for you guys that do work here”
“Melissa in the Pharmacy is the best,not to take away from the other pharmacy technicians but they come off pretty bland compared to Melissa....all nice but Melissa you get a smile out of her weather she is having a good day or not and that's very hard to find especially at a pharmacy.”
“Happy that this store along with other Hy-Vees in Des Moines carry Mountains Dew Code Red Zero Sugar. Not many cities/stores in the US do. Especially my entire home State of Michigan.”
“I like going to Hy-Vee to sit and eat in the cafeteria, fill my medicine from pharmacy and play a few scratch offs. The staff are very polite, eager and friendly, especially in self checkout where I sometimes don't understand how to ring up certain items. There is always someone there to help me.”
“Today I spent about $300 on groceries, and I wanted to recognize Stephanie for her excellent customer service. She was friendly, professional, and extremely helpful throughout the entire checkout process. We had a very large order, and Stephanie scanned and bagged all of our groceries herself without any assistance. Before it was our turn, another employee, Sebastian, had been helping her bag groceries. The customer ahead of us only had a single item, a case of beer, and Sebastian helped with that order. However, when our large order came through, he left to assist another cashier with a customer who had only a few items. I even asked Stephanie what happened to the bagger, but she stayed positive and simply said she would take care of it. Despite being left to handle a large order alone, she never complained, maintained a great attitude, and continued providing excellent service. Stephanie turned what could have been a frustrating situation into a positive experience. Her work ethic, professionalism, and customer service deserve recognition. Thank you, Stephanie, for your hard work and positive attitude. You earned this 5-star review.”
