“If I need to go to Whole Foods, I prefer to go to this one. It is a larger one in an outlet mall. I find the workers there to be socialable and helpful. The salad bar is kept clean and stocked well even early in the morning.”
“Fairly wide selections of goods. Some prices are fair some are a bit higher than I’m used to at other stores for ice cream. It’s good for what it is but what made me give it a 4 was customer service. I requested a spoon for my ice cream to eat while watching fire works and the cashier placed it on the counter, which is very dirty. I left with a smile but did not end up using that spoon.TLDR; good selection, decent prices, meh customer service.”
“Trader Joe's is a place where health gurus meet and find natural foods, ingredients and hopes for healing and longevity. You visit Trader Joe's and life gets better for you and family.....👍”
“Love shopping at Trader Joe's! This is a smaller grocery market with a nice selection of products, which seemed fresher and slightly different that the larger chain grocery stores. Thy offer great fresh flowers as you walk in the door which is a really pleasant way to start shopping. Some of the frozen items are really interesting and quite good, however watch for sodium levels and calories! The store has some great frozen desserts during the holidays too! Overall, the staff are pleasant and helpful.”
“This place has amazing customer service and selection. I wish I took pictures of the sandwiches but I ate it before I could! I got the Napoli sandwich that had pesto, tomato, mozerella, and priscutto on it. It was amazing! They have a big selection of pasta, olive oil, sauces, and gelato. Would definitely come back again.”
“Found this place exploring Woburn. Cannot recommend it enough. I have no experience with Iranian food. A man, i assume the owner, greeted me and i told him i had no experience and what he recommends. He recommended the beef kebab. Apparently its one of his most popular dishes. I ordered 2, for me and my wife. I also found the ingredients there to possible make my own at home sometime. I got some baklava and found some spices i have trouble finding near me. First of all the owner was extremely pleasant and courteous. He gave me a cup of black tea to drink while i waited. It was wonderful. It didn't take him too long to make the food at all. The prices for both meals and all the extra stuff i got was 60 bucks. For comparison, 30 wings i got from a pizzeria the other day was 50 bucks, and they were mass produced garbage. The kebab i ate when i got home was extremely good. You could taste the beef, it was not overwhelmed with other spices like Turkish kebabs can be. the accompanying yogurt is very good but not necessary really, as the beef was so good, it stands on its own. The owner explained to me how they eat the kebab and rice in the traditional way, by mashing the cooked tomatoes into the rice and mixing with the butter and sumac. The rice was perfect and fluffy and the tomato mash and sumac complemented it lightly without being the main flavor. If you get four meals you get one free btw. All in all a very pleasant discovery and a pleasant interaction with the owner and great food. The baklava was fantastic as well. If you are in Woburn, stop in there. If you regret it, the problem is with you and not the owner or the food, lol. Support a small business as well. Dominoes will be fine without you. There is no in store dining so you can take it home, eat it in the car, as i struggled NOT to do or there are some publics tables 50 feet away.”
“It was a small country type store but with a deli that makes sandwiches and other items. Busy place. Bought some amazing BBQ pulled pork for the Super Bowl along with don't spinach dip and neither disappointed!”

“Got a steak bomb and a container of spearmint leaves candy. Candy was surprisingly fresh. Even though it was just candy it was probably some of the best I've had. Sub was great all around. No complaints at all”
“I like TJs a great deal, and this one is convenient to me. The parking isn't stellar but I usually find a space fairly quickly. This is not one of the locations with alcohol but they have most other expected products.”
“Great place to run to for needed supplies for cooking - they have some fresh produce, certain available meats, and many grocery items. Friendly Service & atmosphere!!”
“Closest thing to a NY bodega, great vibe and Luis is very accommodating. Go in there get a great sandwich in the back and good prices compared to a lot of other corner stores in the area”
“Luis in the butcher shop was a great example of awesome customer service. I walked up to the meat counter and only made eye contact with him while he spoke to other people ahead of me and he made his way to me and chose to ask what I needed, which was not on the shelf and 2 days prior I was told wasn’t in stock so he came out with an entire box and let me take what I needed and started restocking the shelf.. that is a great employee market basket is lucky to have!”
“This place is fantastic and the owners are super nice and friendly! I'm in absolute heaven when I'm in their store. Thank you for bringing good memories and great balkan products!!!”
“Great quality, great service, and great food! My mom gets excited every time they have box sales and sent me to pick up a BBQ box they had. Everything in the pic was $200 and even if it was more the quality is always great. They helped me bring the box out and the prepared food I bought because I didn’t buy lunch was delicious!”
“I love Vinny's. Small store with the very best fresh Italian food. They have small Italian dinners already made up, and pizza slices among other appetizers. But the best, the very best is their eggplant. You can get a sub or a small container to take home. You can't go wrong with Vinny's.”
“I am new in the area and was looking for a Middle Eastern grocery store for fresh pita bread and other types of Middle Eastern foods. When I walked in first thought - how clean and organized it is! They have an excellent selection from pastas and rices, to produce to frozen foods. I buy the Near East Bakery pita bread which is delicious! Always so fresh. The gentlemen I've met always helpful and kind. Highly recommend.”
“You can buy fresh fruits and vegetables with cash or HIP money. In addition,transfer $10 SNAP benefits to $20 cash value cards to use here . These value cards can be used whole summer. But only $10/week/EBT card user is allowed.”
“Three years later, Melrose Common Market & Ice Cream remains incredible. The customer service, cleanliness, and massive selection of ice cream and Italian ice options stay top tier. Despite inflation hitting everywhere else, prices here have not changed one bit. Transactions remain quick, service stays friendly, and Bhavesh continues to offer the best experience in town. Still 5 stars. 👏🏽”
“The best liquor store in Everett hands, great selection in all types of wines, beer and spirits, owner is very nice and gos out of his way to find you something of your choosing...did I mention cheapest prices”

“It is impressive the variety, diversity and quality of the products offered in such a small store, the local employees are attentive and helpful, you will undoubtedly find products that will bring a lot of comfort especially if you are Brazilian.”
“This place is a gem! The store is always fully stocked, and everything is fresh. There are a lot of Brazilian spots in Everett, but this one is my favorite by far. Monica and her husband are so sweet and welcoming and their boy is adorable. Very nice family owned business, great people.”
“Great variety of Asian ingredients, also fresh fruit and vegetables excellent quality. Plus if you like Indian sweets there is a cabinet at the front with all sorts of delicacies!!!”
“My favorite place to shop. I can’t believe it took me so long to find! It’s a little orange crt but well worth it. It’s a quiet and relaxing atmosphere every th really good free coffee and classical guitar music playing overhead. I like that the produce bags are compostable. The meat and fish selection is small but I’m vegan so it doesn’ matter to me, there is a HUGE selection of vegan food which makes my heart happy! I’m so glad this place is here - Highly recommend.”
“Very good selection of Filipino food products, with a handful of cooked food like fried tuyo (dried salted sardines), and fried dilis. Large selection of frozen foods like bangus and langonisa. Helpful staff.”
“I am a regular Market Basket customer at various locations. I do like them all for great value and customer service but recently I visited their Wilmington store and I was exceptionally pleased. As I said, I find all the MB employees at all the locations I've visited to be helpful and hardworking but the folks at Wilmington were exceptional. I was also pleased to get all the products I was looking for. I think I'm going to start using this store as my regular MB.”
“This little shop is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you can see the quality and care that goes into everything they offer. Their prepared foods make life so easy without sacrificing taste. The pasta salads are fresh and delicious, and the grape nut pudding is truly amazing — a must-try! They even carry Richardson’s Ice Cream, which is always a treat. I can’t visit without grabbing some of my longtime favorites — the garlic spread is addictive, and the kidney bean dip has been a household staple for years. The buffalo chicken fingers are perfectly seasoned with just the right kick. And last night’s roast sirloin end cut? Absolutely delicious — tender and flavorful. It’s rare to find a place that consistently delivers this level of quality across the board. Friendly service, incredible food, and so many standout items — this shop deserves every bit of five stars! ?”
“Found this restaurant while searching for a take out dinner. The food was fantastic and cooked to perfection. It was also affordable. Will make it a point to return, sit down, and explore the rest of the menu items. We love Italian food. Give it a try. It won't disappoint.”
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 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.
