“Pam, at the front of the store in the mornings, is my whole reason for taking the time to come on here and comment. She makes it so worth it. She is such a compliment to the store. She has seriously become a household name in our family. She is professional and personable in the perfect balance. She’s the kind of warm, genuine, friendliness that keeps people coming back. That makes a difference, especially in today’s world. She gives it that small town connection between the store and the customers. I’ve shopped at that store ever since they first built, which is probably almost 25 years now. Always been happy with that store, and Pam is the perfect example as to the way they do things right. She has been there several years, and consistently helpful and pleasant the entire time. Pam connects with people, she is proactively helpful, making sure that customers have the help they need. Everybody who shops there knows her name. I overhear random customers calling her by it all the time. It’s refreshing to see somebody so sincere and who takes ownership and pride in how they treat people, and the work that they do. Kudos to Pam and to your store! Showing how it’s done!”
“First time visiting since they left the West Bottoms. I was stoked to see they still had all of my favorites in stock and a couple new ones to try. Highly suggest visiting here if you want to find some popular Kansas City products. Always a plus to support a local business. Can’t wait for the new location’s grand opening!”
“Got an order of biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon. Generous portions. More than anything interacting with the store staff and owner reminds me of local stores when I was a child. Everyone is very friendly. The owner makes an effort to know who comes to his store. I don’t live super close but will return just because of this.”
“This is the go-to place for spices—there's no doubt about it! I needed to replace my entire spice collection, and the owners were incredibly helpful. They even provide containers and labels. I spent nearly an hour exploring their extensive spice selection after gathering my list. They have every spice imaginable, and their process is easy, straightforward, and affordable—truly unbeatable! Words cannot thoroughly express the gratitude I have for the ownership and their collection; it's impossible to beat a local spot of this caliber.”
“My wife loves this place. To me its a haphazard mess. But its like going to a small market in Ho Chi Minh City. Lot of authentic Asian stuff you cant get at grocery stores and lots of produce that you cant find at a chain store.”
“They have every Mexican Latin Ingredient ls there its always packed with La Raza and when its packed they have very fresh and delicious food and to make especially Ingredients you may need in a Hispanic/Latino household. Its perfect!”
“Has basically everything you need, for a good price. Love that I can grab organic products but also other things. Store is pretty clean and has good space in the aisles”
“I love this store been shopping at this particular sprouts for over 10 years very nice staff if there's anything wrong with a product I buy they have no problem giving me a new one and apologizing”
“Fantastic deli/counter lunch service. Mac & Cheese is the best I have ever tasted. Tried the Chinese entree on Wednesday and the Orange Chicken with fried rice was $5 and tasty and a good portion. Have a fairly new loyalty program. A year old but no one ever told me about it.”
“Amazing, warm hospitality as soon as I walked in, with a fresh and clean look and storefront. Great prices, i picked up Katafi dough and rose water for $8! Will be back, spread the word! The meat counter looked exceptional 👌🏼”
“Happy Foods North not only had Super Quality Meats, they had an awesome selection of fresh fruits and veggies. Amazing rarely seen canned foods and the customer service from employees was amazing! Even the customers were friendly!”
“I mean... It's Aldi's. Pretty good price on organic stuff here, limited selection of course. I'm not a huge fan of how hurried I always feel in these stores... No time to browse and read labels. Too small and dark.. But not more than any of the others we have been to. Meh”
“Wonderful market with lots of unique items. Just go in and look around. You’ll find something to buy. Bubbles the cashier was excellent and very friendly.”
“Your one stop shop for all your food needs! You won't be disappointed!! International food as well as local food. The manger is great and location is easier to find.”
“Worst bags. Best people. You aren't going to be able to find EVERYTHING you might want to buy, but when it comes to the essentials, this place is good enough. Not really into supplements or homeopathic medicine, but you can find local and organic food here. I have had three bags tear out from under me as I was walking home. First was paper, and if it wasn't for a kind neighbor, I would have been leaving food on the ground. Thought I would be proactive about it today and asked for two plastic bags to ease the burden on each bag. 30 seconds out the door, I noticed one bag was already torn through from the corner of a box of detergent. Scrambled to hold it under my arm and while I was doing that, the other bag's handles ripped through and fell to the ground. Broke a bottle of hot sauce and turned all my groceries red and dripping. Shamefully walked back and explained the accident and not only did the manager bring me a trash can and a box. But replaced the hot sauce as well. Thank you!!! But also please invest in better bags lol”
“Great selection, store is organized and clean. Had a female check me out at the register last time I was there and she was just awful. Her attitude was more than terrible, she snapped at me and acted like I was trash. I brought own bag so she threw my things into the cart next to her and made me load my bag after grabbing the cart with her hand and saying something like no, this is my cart you can't have this cart. I was under the impression I could move the cart two feet to the bagging counter to remove my 10 items and give her the cart right back. She continued to ring up the next customer and put their items into the same cart like I was invisible. It was awkward and weird. The customers behind me didn't have a cart either and she let them use that cart for their groceries after she rang them up. Unnecessary and rude.”
“It's a cool place I feel that they need to open up more registers because sometimes there's a lot of people and only one cashier sometimes too it's a lot of workload on one person overall it's a nice place sometimes they're out of things that you might need”
“I absolutely love this store. Providing a large variety of international goods from Africa, South and Central America and the Caribbean. Crossland International Market carries imported and hard-to-find ingredients as well as premium seasonings, Goya products, frozen fish, meats, exotic and tropical produce and more The produce is fresh and there is always something new I haven’t tried before to buy. My favorite are the Goya brand biscuit cookies. There are many varieties and they are not sweet like American cookies and biscuit cookies. Stop by and expand your palate with the many different food items they have in stock. The staff is always friendly and helpful.”
“I love the food here. I ordered loaded taco salad Fred prepared my food so nice and delicious, I got to choose my own bag of chips. Let me tell you they are definitely not stingy with the topping and the meat is seasoned very well. I also recommend the smoked wings. The price is pretty affordable and the serving are pretty big.”
“First time there, as I live down in Olathe, and the staff was super friendly and the selection was great. Pretty standard pricing. I would visit again if I'm in the area.”
“Phenomenal store for the size of it. Stopped in during my lunch break and grabbed a warm meal. It was delicious (no, I don’t work for Hy-Vee). I grabbed a tenderloin sandwich with tots. They cooked the tots fresh and served it all right to my table. Kudos to them!”
“Awesome store an Manager. We bobtailed over to get groceries and supplies. The Walmart next door said No!! They told us if we can find a safe place to park come on over. Very friendly store.”
“Awesome as usual the people that work there are just awesome people and the manager is truly a very caring and warm individual makes you not want to go anywhere else”
“This Aldi is well stocked and the person that orders the products does a wonderful job. I see items the other Aldis in south KC, Blue Ridge and 75 st off Wornal, & 63 St on Troost ( don't have). What a surprise.”
“I’ve had a great experience shopping at Indian Bazaar. The store has an amazing variety of groceries, spices, fresh vegetables, frozen foods, snacks, and household items all in one place. Everything is usually well stocked, and I appreciate how fresh the produce is compared to many other stores. The staff members are always friendly, respectful, and willing to help if I can’t find something. The store is clean, organized, and reasonably priced, which makes shopping here convenient and enjoyable. I also like that they carry products from different regions and cultures, so there’s always something new to try. Definitely one of the best Indian grocery stores in the area. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality products and good customer service!”
“Vocci's is a institution here in Kansas City The only lasagna my family will eat it is just like my Nonnie's! Excuse me We love the ravioli's & cannoli's too!!”
“A gem of KC's taco scene. This taco shop doubles as a convenient store - selling knick knacks and Mexican candy. Their tacos are obviously great, but I'm a big fan of their tortas. Altogether a great meal on southwest blvd.”
“Their cheese selection taste better than Price Chopper's options and cost less. There are good prices on many items. Keep your options open folks, because it makes a diffrence.”
“It’s quit a drive coming from the north land but that’s ok. At least it’s open 24 hours!! Altho they do shut down registers around 2 or 3am to reset and if your in there they will announce it. But if you go around that time might want to ask before shopping. It’s well stocked. Found most of what I didn’t need lol. Felt very safe. Even went on Sunday morn as the bars were closing and had no problems except for construction. Wasn’t crowded so I was as able to shop at my pace. Wish more stores would reopen 24 hrs. If they can do it why can’t others? It really helps the day sleepers to be able to go shopping without having to wake up and hurry to the store before 10p. Nothing is blocked off so you get to shop the whole store.”
“A smaller Dollar general doesn't seem to have the same amount of stock as the normal ones do. I think they actually might have a little more of a food selection but their homewares and other random stuff isn't as good”
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.

Kroger broke ground on the Canal Winchester location on March 19 at the southeast corner of Diley Road and Greengate Boulevard.
