“An absolutely wonderful food co-op! Everyone was friendly and helpful, it's nice to have a place to get those harder to find items that the average grocery store doesn't carry.”
“Very easy to find what you need. Plus they often have great deals on different items. The staff are always super friendly and willing to help you with anything you need. I would definitely recommend shopping here.”
“Always a good place to find unusual items that other grocery stores don't have, but prices are not very friendly, if they could cut the prices and compete with faraway and walmart would be awesome...”
“My name is Dillon, and I am reaching out with a heavy heart to share the struggles my family and I are facing. My fiancé, Dominique, and our beloved dog, Nachoo, have been through an incredibly challenging journey over the past six months. We moved from sunny Arizona to Iowa to support my father during his unexpected health crisis, but our lives have taken a turn for the worse. My father, a kind-hearted soul who could light up any room with his laughter, is now in the ICU on a ventilator. His health has deteriorated drastically, and the doctors have shared the heartbreaking news that he may not pull through. In this difficult time, we have exhausted our savings to support him and have found ourselves homeless, struggling to make ends meet. Adding to the weight of our situation, my father’s partner, Jana, is also facing the possibility of losing her home. We’ve lost so much already—my father’s home and our stability. My father’s final wish was for Dominique and me to regain custody of our daughter, who we lost due to our current circumstances. We long to fulfill his wish and support Jana in any way we can. We humbly ask for your help to raise funds to pay a month or two of rent for Jana and to help our family get back on our feet. Your generosity can make a profound difference in our lives during this dark time. We know the world will be a little dimmer without my father, but with your support, we can honor his memory and work towards a brighter future for our family. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for considering a donation. Your kindness and compassion mean the world to us. With love and gratitude, The Grell Family”
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.
Kroger is spending $112 million to build two new stores and renovate 15 existing locations across central and northwest Ohio. The company calls it a "record-breaking" commitment to the region.

Kroger broke ground on the Canal Winchester location on March 19 at the southeast corner of Diley Road and Greengate Boulevard.
