“May 21st 2024, I pull into a parking spot at the Bills Superette after a long day at work. I wasn’t in the best mood as I had just finished a 9 hour shift dealing with customers all day. My feet hurt and I hadn’t eaten. I stepped out of my car and walked inside. The moment I stepped into that magical building I saw a tall, nimble man towering over me with a contagious smile spreading across his mythical face. His jawline was as sharp as a machete and his eyes glimmered under the fluorescent lights. A warm feeling overcame me, taking all of the stress and anxiety away. I felt like I just came home to my father after being away for months. This feeling was something I had never felt before. I caught a glimpse of this angelic employees nametag which read “Tyler Loe”. I will never forget how much Tyler changed my life that day. His essence alone completely turned my mood in a 180 and I felt as though I woke up to a new reality. The memory of that slender man named Tyler Loe will forever remain in my heart for as long as I live. This was the best Bills experience I have ever had, and I would highly recommend asking for Tyler Loe at check out.”
“A great store with amazing baked goods, everything is fresh. The service is top-notch. The 50-minute trip was worth it! The prices are reasonable. Totally recommend!!!”
“There prices aren't as good as other places around but they seem to have a good variety and often slightly higher quality items than you might find elsewhere.”
“It's fine. Decent selection of produce, meat, and dairy (especially cheese). Okay selection of dry goods. Some of the better deals are limited time so if you see something you like, get it. Don't forget to bring your own bags and a quarter for the cart.”
“I haven't been to this MIKES in a while 2-3 years.They are smaller, compared to some of the others. The store was clean and organized. Selfs being restocked. The range of products was nice to see. Name brands. Fruits and vegetables looked good. Low prices for some items. Fun to find new items! They switched where you pay.Which is so much better. The older checkout may have had advantages,to see people in the store!! They now have another portion to the store,at the end. Treasures I have to check that out!. Staff friendly. Bring your bags for groceries. .”
“Today I went to the deli at the Coborn's in Ramsey, I asked the sushi chef to make me something, and it was a great platter he put together for me! Im enjoying it right now.

Im sorry I didn't catch your name!!”
“I’ve really grown to love Aldi. Their own branded products are really good quality and the prices are right. Their employees are all really nice and friendly. Don’t change anything! Thank you for being accommodating to my service dog! He thanks you too!”
“The Aldi in Otsego, MN. is my favorite store to shop at. No matter what time of day it is, the store is always clean. They frequently restock their shelves if they have the product on hand. They never just wait. With the uncertainties of the shipping industries these days, they do a great job. Can't beat the prices. Fresh produce and meats. The managers and employees there are Top Notch. Friendly and helpful. Thank you Aldi, for helping me stretch my dollars with your low prices. I have nothing negative to say.”
“Great local grocery store. Connie runs a tight ship everyone is happy and busy.. Great staff at this particular store. Friendliest grocery store in Anoka county.. Last couple times I've been in the store everything has been much happier and upbeat since Connie has come back to work welcome back Connie.!!”
“I haven't shopped here enough to give the best review yet, but it is nice, new, and clean. I've been to the Erberts and Gerberts inside a few times and like that as well.”
“My family has shopped here for decades at this point and I'm especially grateful to County Market now that I'm boycotting as many big corporations as I can. County Market has always had the essentials. It's rare that I can't find what I'm looking for here.”
“For the most part the store is clean and friendly. Sadly it is occasional shoppers thst make the experience harder . But you have that anywhere. They have alot of produce to choose from.”
“I live in St Cloud and stop here almost weekly with my mothers groceries, for her in Mpls. I order online, stop, load and go. The staff that handles the shopping and delivery to the parking lot are AMAZING. Never have I been missing a planned item. 100% perfect. Doing this for almost a year, almost every week. THANK YOU TO YOUR ENTIRE TEAM.”
“Good small town store. Sale prices are good. Wish I could support them more, but pocket book can't do all groceries. I stop for a few items, but do not do full grocery shopping.”
“Great pharmacy! Fantastic service by very friendly helpful staff.They went/go above and beyond re some meds covered by Part B Medicare that no other pharmacy that no other pharmacy would help with. We are so grateful to have them in our community!”
“You can always find something you need or want. My go to items every year is maple syrup, honey, and fruit. Multiple vendors for the same product. Which is really nice. Makes for a good variety and options.”
“Your standard walmart experience. Usually don't have many problems. Although some workers are rude, Ray is the best! Always there to give a high five. I wish there was more of that in this community.”
“Great store in Zimmerman. Nice and clean, helpful staff, friendly managers. I'm also happy they have my favorite Pepperidge Farm Swirls & breads in here.”
“I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with this pharmacy in the 16 months that I have lived in Rogers. The pharmacy staff is always pleasant and more than willing to answer my questions in person and on the phone I have never had any issues.”
“I love this store. Items that I haven't found elsewhere ... I can find them here! The employees are always very helpful. If you want pleasantries, try giving some and smile.”
“Recently made the switch from other grocery stores to shopping at Cub. The aisles are clean, wide, full and have a great variety. The staff goes above and beyond to help. Today, I needed veggie wash, William wasn't sure they had any, and later he found us 5-6 aisles away with bottles of veggie wash he found. Super helpful and glad to have switched!”
“Typical Cub food: wide and clean. Restrooms were clean : I had to rinse the green bell pepper there. They have organic fruits and vegetables that is not super expensive. 2 Entrances: the pharmacy entrance I did not like despite a stop sign: too tight and too many carts. Employees and customers seemed to be tamed by the AC inside the store: outside the heat is merciless.”
“I enjoy coming to this store. I know where everything is and seems like they always have it stocked. The people that work here our super helpful and always ask how my day is. I love friendly and nice environment! Only thing I notice is sometimes there will be long lines and 1 worker but it be like that somedays. Over all good place”
“I went in to drop off a return I had started online, a fairly expensive monitor that was still brand new. There was an issue and at first the return could not be completed. A manager, Matt was called over. He worked on my behalf over the phone with Walmart for a good 20 minutes and to my relief made sure the monitor could be returned.”
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.
