“I've honestly never been here before today and I was driving through and I needed a lighter. Unfortunately I had forgotten my wallet and only had like 60 cents in my pocket. The kind gentlemen at the counter Took my change and handed me the lighter and said we've got the rest. I thought that was great because you don't have that happen very often anymore.Even though it was only 30 or 40 cents it was greatly appreciated and next time I am through that way i I will leave a few bucks at the register and tell them to put that towards anyone who may be a little short on cash in the future. We should all pay it forward anyways right?! And whoever you are, short guy with glasses, I thank you completely!!!”
“The Dairy and Frozen Department at this grocery store consistently impresses me with its cleanliness, organization, and product variety. Whether I’m shopping for essentials like milk, eggs, and butter, or browsing for specialty items like plant-based yogurts, international cheeses, or frozen vegan meals, the selection is always well-stocked and fresh. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable—willing to help you find items or check in the back if something isn’t on the shelf. I also appreciate that they seem to rotate products regularly, so expiration dates are always in check. The layout is easy to navigate, and labels are clear, making it simple to find what I need quickly. Their frozen section offers a wide range of meals, from budget-friendly staples to premium brands, as well as convenient options like frozen fruits and vegetables that make meal prep a breeze. I also noticed they carry a lot of allergy-conscious and dietary-specific products (like gluten-free, dairy-free, and keto-friendly), which is a huge plus. Overall, this department is a standout—clean, efficient, and thoughtfully stocked. It makes grocery shopping a much smoother and more enjoyable experience.”
“Your fish and chips is beyond incredible. I'm Milroy's fish and chips restaurant (metro Detroit) old and I'd legit compare it to theirs. I'm a fish snob and am just blown away by the quality and flavor. I can't just get one dinner. Has to be 2 lol. Every one is super friendly and I can't wait for next Friday again. I'll definitely be trying a burger and onion rings during the week. I was shocked at how much you get and they looked so delicious while being packed up. Highly impressed and will recommend your food to everyone”
“If you need something in a hurry, it's a good bet. They try to help locals with food stuffs, but you'll need to get your fresh meat and produce at your grocery. They fill a need though!”
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.
