“The Stoneham farmers market offers great local/organic produce, meat, pasta and fish along with crafts, soaps and more. They also have musicians. Along with the usual venders, some rotate in and out so check the website. The market is open on Thursdays during the summer and fall.”
“This Target is the closest one to my home and it’s convenient for grabbing essentials like milk and eggs or quickly picking up gift cards and birthday cards. It’s great for those quick in and out trips. That said, the appearance could use improvement. The store is often messy and some shelves are empty, which takes away from the experience. On the plus side, there’s a large parking lot and plenty of other shops nearby, which makes the location convenient overall.”
“Nice greeting, clean store, fast service and very close to I 93, product price was very reasonable. I prefer to go back again. Nice helping friendly people. Love it❤️❤️❤️”
“The Stop and Shop gas station is pretty small and can be a bit tricky to navigate at times, but it always gets the job done. It’s convenient when you just need a quick fill-up or grab a few things. Not fancy, but reliable enough for what it is.”
“This stop & shop is not our 1st choice of there to shop. We go to the woburn store. But the Stoneham one has the gas station which is always nice to use your points at gas station”
“Always happy in this pharmacy, Amber and Vivian are always very helpful, friendly and professional. They go above and beyond to make every visit a great experience. Thank you for the excellent customer service.”
“Was honestly terrified to come here after reading the reviews, but found a great price and decided to roll the dice. So glad I did. Got a flat and called the shop for a quote and appointment. The person I spoke with was friendly and helpful. Booked online for the following day — and as soon as I walked in, they were ready to go. Everyone I dealt with in person was communicative and professional. Service was done in exactly the hour and a half I was quoted. They answered all my questions and didn’t push anything extra. Definitely the smoothest tire purchasing experience I’ve ever had.”
“This branch of BJ has the best employees, always helpful and cheerful. sorry to say this; except one old blond lady that some times does the check out, sounds rude and unwelcoming at all. Aside from that, one night my wife and I wanted to surprise our kids on the holiday with a brand new really big TV, we running late, and have 5 min before BJ close, I know security job has to secure the premises and people shopping, however, the security guy FOLEY has HELPED us as we were running late to get a big cart that fit the TV where everyone else couldn’t, he went extra miles and helped us to take the TV to our car and put it in the trunk, I have never witnessed such a security guy that is so helpful and go up and beyond, I guess with FOLEY on this branch of BJ I feel more secure than other branches, if he’s willing to help people that way, I’m sure he is even great at securing people. Thank you so much Holly, thank you BJ for hiring Foley. Additionally We might not got chance to buy the TV eventually without FOLEY’s help and potentially might not come back as it was a matter of that night surprise.”
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.

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.
