“Today i tried the Denver omelet burrito, not my favorite because it was bland and missing cheese. Poke bowls and sushi saved the day! Our one stop shop for an a la cart style meal. Delicious sushi and freshly baked bread, just a couple of our favorites!”
“Little more in cost than L&B, but the location was convenient. We picked out some tasty items not in the Deli Department (like I thought we would), but in the sushi/rolls area. It was very nice to have everything right there: chopsticks/extra soy sauce/selection of different rolls. Michael at the register was a rock star-finding and adding a rubber band to our packaging (since the packaging probably would have popped open). We enjoyed our alfresco lunch in the park, thanks to Kowalski's (and Michael).”
“Andrea S. at the Minnetonka Trader Joe’s was absolutely wonderful. She was so kind, positive, and cheerful during my visit. My bag ripped, and she happily repacked everything with a smile. I had also forgotten an item, and she caught me before I left to make sure I got it. It’s employees like Andrea who make Trader Joe’s such a great place to shop. Small things make a huge impact, whether you realize it or not. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
“Better than all of the other local options for price. Produce is very good. Meat selection and prices are terrible. “Off brand” items are hit and miss for quality. What little staff they have are not great. Self checkout is awesome, thankfully. Wish they had more products from Germany and Europe like I expected.”
“Meriah the girl with the afro was very professional and the manager Lisa was very professional. I found a debit card in the parking lot and they made sure it went to a safe place”
“The employees there are very friendly and courteous, and the place is very clean! This is one of the smaller co-ops, but they have a decently sized wellness section!”
“I really like this location. It seems to be organized well and for the most part, they are able to keep things in stock. With that being said they do tend to run out of produce a lot. That is really my only complaint. I love Aldi and if you are looking to save some money and get some good quality groceries, then I highly recommend shopping here. The staff is really friendly and helpful and they do a good job, keeping the store, clean and organize.”
“High quality produce and prepared food, including hot food bar and sushi. Lots of fresh donut and pastry varieties available daily made in-house! Clean, well-lit enjoyable shopping experience. Even has some retail clothing and goods.”
“Lakewinds Food Co-Op is a plant-based oasis in an area that is very meat heavy. While they have plenty to choose from for all diets, we were thoroughly impressed by the plethora of vegan options, including store-made and local baked goods, a crazy collection of Daiya Pizza’s and an array of meat alternatives. Would recommend for local vegans! And anyone looking to recoup on their investment with member discounts and end of your reimbursement! If I lived here, we’d shop this store weekly!!”
“Went to Lunds & Byerlys to get the freshest and the best tasting fruit for a fruit salad for a special occasion for grandson. When nothing but the best will do, you can always count on Lunds & Byerlys to come through for your needs. Highly recommend!!”
“Really love the Byerlys stores. I have fond memories of shopping them as a kid, some decades ago now ?. This is a nice little store. Well organized. The employees are very helpful, which really helps me since I'm there often shopping for customers. The only reason I did 4 ? (Wish there was a point 5 option), is because there is sometimes a challenge with some of the produce. I have to pick the best for customers and it has been an issue more than once, but I will say that it has been better the last few times I have been there and that could simply be because there is better produce overall this time of year. Aside from that, the store is well stocked with goodies and helpful hands if you are looking for something special ?”
“really incredible management team, created a genuine and human experience by just asking, “what are your plans for today”? they are lucky to have the short and short haired manager—i cannot recall your name, but you know who you are!! 💐💐♥”
“Pracna on Main in St. Anthony, Minneapolis, used to make this smoked salmon quesadilla with tomatillo salsa. 🌮 I found a green sriracha sauce at Aldi that tastes pretty darn close to their salsa, so I recreated the quesadilla at home! It was delicious! The store is always clean and organized and not as busy like most Aldis!”
“I've been to 2 different Costco's and u like them. The one in Burnesville and the one in Eden Prairie. I believe Burnesville is bigger (maybe it's just the layout). Burnesville also had more friendlier customer support. Eden Prairie parking lot was better in relation to store and where you're entering (handicap spaces were available along with their mobility carts).”
“Cute little lunds convenient for smaller shopping trips. Staff is nice. I don't believe they have self checkouts which is frustrating, but still happy to go here if I need something and am in the area.”
“Delicious location for L&B. The store is easy to shop, no crowded aisles. Another key, the people are friendly, helpful, and readily available. The bakery excels at making terrific cakes, pies, and cookies. . . . And muffins, too. The parking lot provides roomy slots for one’s vehicle.”
“great service,very orderly ailes,well stocked for what I needed,always nice when staff offer push my cart to the car,thank you guys,I had worked night shift I needed all the help I could get.”
“They got whatchu need for real. Fatty selection, and the bakery goods are straight fire son ?. They'll hook you up with straight diabetes the way the desserts be looking and tasting. The location is superb and the parking is abundant so bring ya fam and ya friends. They got all the household goods and you know it's got that L&B quality.”
“Have not been at any stores in Market Square except for ACE Hardware and for very short time. Location of Market Square is pretty good. Number of convenient stores around. From big to small. You can purchase anything related to food or not food products.”
“Great prices, had everything I wanted, but its hard to find things in the store. If you asked a staff person you got it, they came so close to great service them kinda dropped the ball.”
“Very clean, well organized, and stocked location. Produce always fresh. Not usually very crowded, and the Pharmacy Staff is very nice. But the parking lot causes them to lose a whole star, and it's not even their fault. But it's almost like a trap - there are 3 or 4 ways in, but only one way out. Then heaven forbid you want to cross over to the shopping center next door... I dread it every time. Otherwise, it's a lovely store.”
“This was a super cute market and the prices were really good for fresh produce. I loved the organic and healthy snack options and the local kombuchas. Reminded me of going grocery shopping up north, in a good way ☺️”
“Prices are comparable however it took me 3 times as long to find stuff because I had no idea where to find things (that's on me). And finding the non organic option, a tad too expensive for my blood. However, when they have deals. They have deals!”
“The Deli Counter in the back is my favorite place to get Tacos. Full menu with all kinds of good food, can eat on site or take it to go. If you don't mind getting your hands messy I highly recommend the Camarones Del Diablo”
“They are number one for affordable gas in the US. It’s cheaper and good compared to other gas stations. But the line is so long which is the only issue but its costco so we can never expect free lines 😅”
“Me and my coworkers love to go here for the $5 for four tacos deal and it’s always delicious. The employees are always nice! Great place for a quick lunch break!”
“They have a large selection of everything here. If I am looking for something in particular that is hard to find at other local or smaller stores, this is usually where I come. It's also fun browsing around to see what you might find”
“We went there, looking for prepared food for a picnic. The manager set us up with a chicken bucket. He was so helpful, let us mix and match types, it was a big hit!”
“Lunds has superior quality. The prices are only slightly higher than other stores if you compare all products, but the quality is much better. If you shop with their regular promotions, the price is much lower. They use profits from previous year(s) to discount high quality produce for customers. They have competitive partnerships other local grocery store chains don't have due to being around for longer and having that historical old money advantage. If you shop selectively, the prices are lower. The source of the products is superior to similar stores like Kowalskis (ask an employee - they invest in months of training to teach employees where products actually come from). Lunds also uses profits from previous years to run big promotional discounts for customers. You can get very high quality salmon for just 15$/lb, for example. The Lunds CEO works alongside his employees unlike other local stores' higher-ups who install cameras and accuse employees of theft. In fact, a local grocery store chain was sued by their union for taking advantage of part-time too much. Lunds actively works with its union instead of running smear campaigns against it to employees. The way they treat employees trickles down to how they treat customers, and they have a good history of making leaps and bounds above other local chains.”
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.
