“Retail 101: When you have one customer waiting with only two items, it should probably be more of a priority that you take care of that customer quickly, then go back to whatever management things you were doing with your supervisor or your vendor in the back office-- which is just behind the cash register where the customers can hear what's going on-- Rather than saying you'll be out in just a moment and actually taking multiple minutes... By the time that I gave up and left, my transaction could have been taken care of two or three times over or more, honestly. My transaction probably would have taken all of thirty seconds... And then they could quickly return to what they were doing. It wasn't the worst experience ever, but it certainly goes against efficient retail protocol and showing a customer they are valued. Unfortunately today's actions said "what we are currently doing is more important than one waiting customer during a non-busy hour in the store". I know retail can be stressful (!), but this is one of those easy quick things that could have been taken care of a little bit better. So i'm leaving this review hoping that they take notice and realize its importance. It's a little thing that can add up. I'm giving this more stars than it probably deserves, because I'm not trying to be mean, but rather point out in area that could use some improvement.”
“This One Was Very Busy ! Cashier was Keeping up Well ! Stock wasn't Much, Looked Wiped Out ! Pleasant Experience ! Was Hoping For Some Glass Bowls but, Did Find Glass in Pet or Regular Area ! Settled for a Cheap Plastic Bowl !”
“Donna is a fantastic manager and should be kept at all costs. Day crew has improved significantly since she took over and so has the store overall. The problem lies with the people who primarily work night shift. They either void transactions or pocket the change when you tell them to make sure their drawers are even or slightly over. I know they need employees that are reliable and can run a tight ship but those ones aren't it. Drug testing should be made mandatory upon hiring.”
“I visit family in this town and enjoy stopping by the country mart. It hasn't changed much from when I was a kid (except the prices, as all places have). They do have a Starbucks now and they gave me a 1$ off a drink coupon after checking out with my groceries. They have a big selection of most categories but I really appreciate the produce and deli. The dairy aisle is excellent and you can find stuff here that walmart sometimes doesn't even have, like multiple flavors of kefir. They also have a really wide range of alcohol. I always find what I want in here.”
“Ashley is so super sweet. Julie rocks out when it comes to keeping this store in line, stocked and on track. I cannot say anything negative except that sometimes there's no places for stock to be stored except in the isles, and I know since Julie came back thats getting cleared up. They just don't have back store room space and thus have no choice. But otherwise this is your small town, we know everyone store. Love it.”
“The new manager has done a wonderful job cleaning the store up you can definitely see how hard him and his asst. Christina have worked. Although they are customer service oriented 1 of the employees needs some more training.”
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.
