“Love shopping here everyone is so nice and helpful and I love shopping there fresh meat and fish deli food is awesome and large variety and then the daily markdowns love shopping at this market oh yes don't forget to stop at Starbucks have coffee with one of their fresh baked goodies from the market”
“I absolutely love shopping at Trader Joe’s! This location always feels welcoming and well-stocked with a great mix of everyday essentials and fun, unique finds. The variety of interesting products and seasonal items makes every visit feel like a little adventure, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. The staff is friendly and helpful, and even when the store gets busy, it still feels organized and easy to navigate. From fresh produce to tasty snacks and specialty items you can’t find anywhere else, this Trader Joe’s never disappoints. A fantastic grocery experience that keeps me coming back!”
“I live nearby. The $10 lunch deal at the deli is a really good deal. I get it all the time. It is a very nice place. It has pretty much everything I need, I rarely want to go anywhere else.”
“Ken's is always a great experience. They have a wide assortment of produce, baked goods, and the meat counter has a lot to choose from. They have a great greenhouse too. They have a lot of specialty spices and candy too. I highly recommend.”
“This is my go-to grocery stop in the area! It's convenient and covers the basics of what I need - and fun stuff I don't necessarily need! The store is typically clean and well-maintained.”
“I had initially been terrified to enter because of the idea of having to package and bring my own containers- after my first encounter on Saturday I can easily say I highly recommend this place. For reference I got peanut butter in a normal size jar I would normally spend 8-9$ on in the store, I watched my peanuts be crushed and strewn into the jar of my choosing and then only paid $7.11 for it. The facial toner I tried was only $1.89 !!!! I’m obsessed, the staff member there on Friday was attentive and EXCITED to show me around! I love the passion behind the work and it really shows here.”
“They don't have everything, but what they have is all the basics plus more. And I don't have to play any 'points games' to get good prices. I can get in and out in less than 20 minutes with a whole week's worth of groceries. If there is anything wrong with your item(like rotten potatoes) they give you another AND refund your money. When was the last time Meijer did that!”
“Great day at Horrocks! Wine, flowers and a variety of food. I also love their produce selections they always have a wide variety. The only downfall was at the Kentwood location they don’t let you try the vinegars and oils that you can at the Lansing location. They are pre bottled and you just have to take a shot if you like it. Still a great trip!!”
“If you're looking for middle eastern/Mediterranean food/groceries then this is a great place to shop. Fresh meats, well stocked deli section. Lots of stickers grocery shelves.”
“In the quiet kingdom of the concrete lot, Where the quarters wait in a silver slot, The ritual starts with a rhythmic clack— A rented vessel for the snack-aisle track. No marble floors or soft-lit glow, Just high-stacked boxes in a steady row. The Middle Aisle Magic Here lies the heart of the fever dream, Between the frozen peas and the heavy cream. You came for bread, perhaps a lime, But leave with a chainsaw and a sprig of thyme. A snorkel set? A weighted vest? The Aisle of Shame puts the soul to test. You didn't know you needed a wooden duck, Until it met you in the back of the truck. The Velocity of the Scan The cashier sits in a throne of speed, A blur of motion for the hungry breed. No dawdling here, no wasted breath, The beep of the scanner is a dance with death. Milk and eggs fly through the air, With the frantic grace of a county fair. Your pride is measured by how fast you pack, As the next in line is at your back. The Bounty of the Blue Winking Owl for a modest toast, Mama Cozzi’s—the budget host. Brioche buns that shine like gold, And specialty cheeses for the bold. No name brands haunt these simple shelves, Just treasures found by the savvy selves. The bags are brought from the trunk of the car, To carry the loot of the bargain star. A quarter returned to its metal home, A weary shopper no longer must roam. Cheap and chaotic, a beautiful spree— The checkout song of the ALDI tea.”
“The store is well-organized and tidy. They could improve on their customer service; when you walk in, you don't receive a greeting. However, after speaking with the owner, she was okay. Additionally, many of their items need price tags. Despite these issues, I encourage you to support them. Thank you.”
“Come here every now and then when I do door dash. Every time the staff are all so helpful, they engage in conversation and walk you to the item you are looking for. Most places just point or tell you a aisle number. But every time im lost here someone is there to help.”
“Bought plastic silverware... it breaks all the time. But also got Chinese pepper steak .I love it.. but need an extra oomph..I always make gravy to mix with it.. for the price it should be alot better!”
“Such a great place! They actually have thrift store prices (unlike many these days), the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. And I feel like we always find good stuff when we shop there.”
“Found Maureen’s credit card walking through the door and turned it in to customer service. I’m wondering if I should have waited for the bank to open and dropped it off there. I went in to the store to buy bread and found the isle for bread. The overhead signs are the best place to look, when nobody is around. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived just after 6:00 this morning, and the store was open. I’m definitely going back to get all my groceries!”
“Harvest always has items in stock that I can’t get anywhere else and often on sale. I don’t enjoy the chaos at a larger grocery store and want to take my time. I always find a new item that will help me on my health journey.”
“I like whole foods but my wallet does not. You can pretty much trust what food they have on the shelf is not ready to expire like Walmarts. But the last time I was in there was about a week ago. I had about 20 employees in the building and about five shoppers. And that tells you that maybe the prices are a little high.”
“Always clean, the staff is always helpful. And the bremers Italian style meatballs are GREAT! Just did a catering for a wedding and used those meatballs! Which are aldis only products, 100 times better than Sam's and meijers combined. Everyone sleeping on aldis”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent halal market with great quality and service! Afghan Halal International Market is one of the best halal markets I’ve visited. The meat is always fresh, halal, and high quality. The store is clean, well-organized, and has a great variety of Afghan and international products. The staff are very friendly, respectful, and always ready to help. Prices are fair, and you can really feel that they care about their customers. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic halal food and great customer service. I will definitely keep coming back!”
“I love the energy here at the Himalayan market, friendly service, mini delicious food, and items from far away available here for us in America come and check out the Himalayan market”
“So glad to find this gem!! I was able to grab all the spices for some of my favorite dishes!! I'll gladly drive an hour to be able to come in here and grab what I need. And to explore items that aren't available anywhere near me.”
“Great little story. Unfortunately its tucked away in a strip mall and never knew was there. Went into buy Mooville products and found they have a great variety of other products at great prices!!! If your in GR definitely check them out !!!”
“We love the professional staff who take an interest in each client and help them with their prescriptions. This is so important for people with complex diagnoses and multiple medications, along with everyone else, for that matter.”
“Lovely store! Great sandwiches, pot pie , and chicken fingers… Lunch line was busy, moved fast and worth the wait. The store nice variety and very clean.”
“Good senior discount day. Plus discount card. Easy shopping. Can find items fast. Miss coffee grinder. Sometimes out of stock, Otherwise great store to shop.”
“First time in this one. A bit of a different layout but still spacious and well stocked. Found everything i was looking for and checking out was a breeze. Plus it's near everywhere I shop on BeltLine.”
“Today we purchased several items from the store, including a T-shirt that was displayed with a special discount. After leaving the store and reviewing our receipt, we noticed that the promotional price had not been applied and we were charged the regular amount. We returned to customer service to clarify the issue. The staff were very polite and attentive. They sincerely apologized for the oversight, quickly corrected the price, and even provided an additional $5 in cash for the inconvenience. We truly appreciate their professionalism and prompt response. Thank you for turning a small mistake into a positive customer experience.”
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.

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.
