“I've been shopping Aldi for a minute. The influx of customers means adjusting when we shop but the staff does an amazing job accommodating. Love me some Aldi ❤️”
“The staff has always been helpful when we shop here. I never have had to wait long for someone to check us out, and they are respectful & helpful. The only person who has ever been rude was a female manager, but they were unusually busy that day. Can't wait to see the results of the remodeling they are working on.”
“Number 1 auto center ?I almost didn’t want to write this because I hope I don’t end up eating my words later—but this is hands down the #1 auto center I’ve been to.? I’ve been there three times now, driving from Liberty, and I’ve tried plenty of auto places across the state in 40 years . The people here are fantastic. I couldn’t ask for better employees. I even watched how they treated other customers—very respectful and patient. They were especially kind with me, even when I didn’t fully understand everything as a older lady . It all started with a phone call—a very nice lady who told me to come in and that they’d take care of my tire. Meanwhile, the Walmart auto center in Liberty/KC wouldn’t even answer their phone for two days. The difference in service is night and day. Here, they got my car done in about 45 minutes. In Liberty, it's never less than two hours.Ive lived in Liberty 15 yrs and worse Walmart ever . I really hope ES Walmart stay this way, because I'll gladly keep driving the extra 15 miles for this kind of service. .. Here’s a suggestion—maybe consider giving this team a bonus for being one of the best Walmart Auto Centers around. If there’s any question, you can check the cameras from yesterday around 12-2 PM to see the level of service and professionalism. Thank you for being awesome, ?”
“Clean store that has what you need for groceries. I wish they had an actual meat counter but that's okay. Prices compared to some other places might seem a little high but good for sales and it being a one stop grocery stop.”
“Went there to get a jug of Milo’s sweet tea. They didn’t have any on the shelf, the fella working the floor (his name is Ben) stopped sweeping and offered to check in back. They had a few jugs back there. Made my evening. 5 Stars”
“A few weeks ago, I dropped off film for development while I was visiting the area from Folsom, CA. I stopped by the photo department a few days later on my way out of town. I spoke to Sonia and she informed me that the prints were not ready yet. This was a dilemma as we were on the way out of town. I discussed with Sonia what we could do and I tried to pay for the pics in advance but the price was not certain due to not knowing how many photos would be developed. She suggested that perhaps she could pay for the photos when they came in and mail them to me. I thought that was a good solution and I tried to give her cash to cover the cost of the pics and postage and she said that would not be allowed, which I understood. The deal was she would mail me the pics and she would give me the total of the pics and postage and I would send her a check to cover all cost. I got home and pics were waiting for me. Inside the envelope was a note that said, " Your photos came an hour after you left. No payment necessary. Hope you enjoyed the travels home. Pay it forward. I truly believe Sonia is a special person. She went the extra extra mile to help a customer. She was so kind and concerned about my situation and found a way to make it work. I believe Sonia deserves some recognition as an outstanding employee and citizen. Respectfully, Bob Trujillo”
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.
Kroger is spending $112 million to build two new stores and renovate 15 existing locations across central and northwest Ohio. The company calls it a "record-breaking" commitment to the region. The two new Kroger Marketplace stores will rise in Canal Winchester and Delaware, Ohio, each costing roughly $30 million to build. Kroger broke ground on the Canal Winchester location on March 19 at the southeast corner of Diley Road and Greengate Boulevard. The 118,000-square-foot store is expected to open in late fall 2026 and will create around 250 jobs.
Loblaw Companies Limited is putting serious money into its retail network this year. Canada's largest food and pharmacy retailer announced it will spend $2.4 billion in 2026 to open new stores, renovate existing locations and strengthen its supply chain. The company plans to open 70 new stores in 2026. That includes 34 Shoppers Drug Mart and Pharmaprix pharmacies and care clinics, along with 31 hard-discount No Frills and Maxi grocery stores. On top of the new openings, Loblaw will renovate another 191 stores and continue construction on a roughly 1.2 million-square-foot automated distribution center in Caledon, Ontario.
