“Solid! 5/5 10/10 100/100! The flavor is there, the texture, the taste and everything in between is undeniably delicious. We got 4 tacos, a burrito, and a quesadilla, all for less than $40 The chicken is cooked in a marinade that gives it just the right consistency of flavor and tenderness. We will definitely be back before long.”
“They have a variety of foods, some seasonal. The prices are reasonable. It is one of my favorite places to shop. They sell seasonal non food items. The items I have bought were of good quality and a good price.”
“Great produce and meat dept.by far..was just in the store..Avocados are the best price I've seen in this area for 40 yrs when I used to make guacamole at a restaurant..price. 38 cents...celery though is high in price”
“Love to shop Sprouts. They have a large variety of brands for anything and everything. Love the vegan bakery options. Love how the tags say what’s plant based. The app is great for cutting coupons and seeing the sales.”
“I shop here for vitamins, minerals, herbs, and shampoo/conditioners. I also buy Moroccan Mint Tea plus snacks. The employee's are very helpful and friendly.”
“Good selection and stock gets rotated pretty regularly. Seems like prices run about 10-15% higher than other grocery stores in town if you don’t use a Hy-Vee card and take advantage of sales. People at the checkout counter are usually pretty nice and helpful. They also are a remote pickup location and have a drop off bin for the Lawrence public library, so that’s nice. Store is clean and well lit.”
“I never post reviews but this is best dollar general ever. Well stocked, clean and I'm always welcomed in by friendly cashiers, especially Chiquita who puts a smile on my face every time. Great store.”
“I went there and ordered two tacos one Asada and one chicken they ended up throwing in a free Al pastor taco to try on the house. I ended up liking the Al pastor the most if you haven’t already tried this place. Definitely give it a shot. It’s amazing!!!”
“Thank you Jennifer, excellent work. You are the 4th store I had gone to, I so called first to verify it was in stock. Jennifer had gotten the 2 options out and ready for me to choose from.”
“Had a wonderful experience working with MJ Ranch to coordinate our 1/4 beef purchase. As a first-timer arranging a larger beef order, they took care of us throughout all the steps and the processor they work with is also wonderful. And the beef tastes amazing from what we've tried so far!”
“This is our neighborhood grocery store. We live a block away so is a pretty convenient location for us. For being a smaller grocery store, they have a good assortment of grocery items. They have a decent produce section. If you keep an eye on the cheese counter, you can find some really good discounted prices on some tasty cheeses.”
“5 stars isn’t enough. i just possibly had the most life altering kindness i have ever experienced. i’ve only ever been to this gas station once or twice before. i never got the name of the lady behind the counter but whoever was working around 10 am on 06/16/26 was the most genuine and kind person i have ever met. I walked into this gas station carrying a heavy, invisible weight, doing everything in my power to keep myself afloat. when i walked in to put gas on my pump, the stranger behind the counter asked how i was and when i said “good, hanging in there yknow?” and asked how she was, she said “i’m good, thanks for asking.” after letting out a little “oh.” as if she had seen through the mask. she then offered me a soda. apprehensive at first, i told her there was no need and she really didn’t have to do that. she insisted and told me it was on her. she then said “hopefully it will make your day a little bit better.” i walked away to go get my soda and by the time i had walked up to thank her and let her know her impact on me, i had already started crying again. i told her that her actions will not be forgotten and i truly and deeply thank her for selflessly pushing her struggles and wounds to the side to show up for a complete stranger. she asked me if i was okay a couple more times to which i responded “yes, there’s just a lot going on.” she then said “i hope you are okay, please let me know if you need anything. i’m right here.” its crazy how selfless we can become. THAT is true kindness.”
“I shop at this Dollar General regularly because it’s close to home and incredibly convenient. The store usually has what I need, and most of the employees are friendly and helpful. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that there’s ONE employee who works there from time to time and is often rude or unfriendly to every customer. Fortunately, my experiences with the rest of the staff have been positive, which keeps me coming back. Overall, it’s a convenient neighborhood store with a mostly great team.”
“This is the best place in Lawrence for plant-based and allergy friendly food! There is a good selection of prepared foods and a good amount of options for the size of the store. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the staff pick signs around the store are a nice feature. Prices can be high at times, but sometimes sales here are 2 or $3 better than other stores in town, so you just have to be on the lookout. Sometimes they will be out of the same items for awhile, but that’s a minor thing. Overall if you live in Lawrence and haven’t been, you should definitely check the merc out!”
“This is a great Kroger based chain. The best way to shop here is to follow the sales and specials. Great variety of meats Breads and all the essentials with a small Lunch Counter you can grab a quick bite to take home”
“Scott is my favorite. If I can get a chuckle out of him at the self-check, I am winning at life. Shout out to Allistair as well, and the lady with the bright red lipstick (she knows who she is); you are crushing it. Love to the pick-up order team; you are heroes. Love my local Dillons!”
“I’ve been to a lot of pharmacies over the years, and Dillon Pharmacy on Massachusetts Street is hands down one of the best. The staff is always professional, polite, and genuinely kind. They work quickly without making you feel rushed, and they take the time to answer questions and make sure you’re taken care of. It’s one of those places where you walk in not feeling your best and leave feeling like someone actually cared. Great customer service is hard to find these days, and this team consistently delivers it. **Highly recommend.**”
“I always go to this Kwik shop often as it is in my neighborhood. The staff is very nice, helpful and friendly without fail. The store and parking lot is never dirty. The staff and location are both good reasons to stop for a fountain drink or a 2 liter when you are in a hurry to get to wherever you're headed.”
“My favorite store in town. My family has been shopping here for 10 years- at Kroger stores for my whole life. Very nice staff, produce is always beautiful, and the store itself has a nice feel and flow. Pricing is good. Not as cheap as Walmart (Walmart lacks the fresh produce and atmosphere) but cheaper than Hy-Vee, Checkers, and Target. I like that it has a Starbucks, a great pharmacy, bread from the local bakery “Wheatfields”, a solid floral department, and the staff always seems very competent, quick, and well managed.”
“They seem to have better quality and quantity of stuff here than the one at Iowa walmart. Idk wether its by design or because Iowa is just busier. But i get better deals here which is always great.”
“Kwik Shop is always Kwik Shop. In Kansas- that means great cashiers,good selection of munchies & beverages, some necessities- usually clean restrooms and Vehicle Fuel. Predictable. Reliable”
“What more could I say, this is a staple business in our community. I appreciate the variety of items they provide so I do not have to shop at multiple stores due time constraints.”
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.
