“Today, I was in Aldi to pick up a few things. I’d been to the doctor earlier and had blood drawn and of course I’d fasted and simply forgot I hadn’t ate anything. From the moment I got in the door, I started feeling crappy. I sat on the bench outside the door for a few minutes thinking it was the heat that was getting me down and once I cooled off inside, I’d be ok. Walking up and down the isles, I started feeling crappy again. But there was no place to sit down. I saw an Aldi employee and I flagged her down and just told her I wasn’t feeling well. Somewhere, a chair appeared, then she brought me ice water and cheese and crackers. She kept checking on me, and after about 15 minutes, I felt better so I kept shopping. By the time I got to the register, I thought I was going to pass out again. The lady at the register helped me back to “my” chair. I believe her name was Nancy and the first person to help was Ann. I hope I’m right about the names, I was kind of scatter brained at the time. They watched over me like mother hens, got me more cheese and crackers, Gatorade, a frozen bag of peas to put on my neck and offered me ice cream. Ann walked me to my car, put the groceries in. I hope you read this and know I got home fine and I think you two are wonderful people. I’m fine now, ate a bit more when I got home and took a good nap. This will always be my favorite Aldi and you two deserve a medal. And next time, I will eat before I shop. Hugs!”
“Dierbergs always has an amazing selection. It is definitely not the cheapest option for a grocery store, but they almost always have everything we need for a one stop shop. Had some issues at the self check out with the machine being frozen, but the staff was very quick to help and got me out of the store quickly.”
“2nd time to Las Lajas. It is now our go to Mexican restaurant. No liqour license but they do have Mexican Coca-Cola. I had the Mexican street tacos with Al Pastor. My wife had the shrimp fajitas. Both delicous!”
“Our Dollar General is only 5 minutes from the house which makes it an enormous savings as compared to driving 15 minutes each way to a grocery store. Because this is the case for many people in the area my local store can tend to run out of merchandise. It can take several days for missing items to be restocked. Generally great staff at this location.”
“Dierbergs Markets is consistently an exceptional destination for grocery shopping, offering a level of quality, variety, and service that sets it apart from other retailers in the area.

The selection of food items is extensive and thoughtfully curated, ranging from everyday essentials to specialty and gourmet products, ensuring that shoppers can find exactly what they need for both routine meals and special occasions. One of the standout features of this location is its floral department, which rivals—and often exceeds—the quality found in many standalone florist shops. The arrangements are fresh, beautifully designed, and appropriate for a wide range of occasions, from casual gifts to more formal events. It is evident that care and expertise go into every display. Additionally, the deli department is truly top-notch. It offers a wide variety of high-quality meats, cheeses, and prepared foods, all presented with professionalism and consistency. Their catering options, particularly the meat and cheese platters, are impressive in both presentation and taste, making them an excellent choice for gatherings, meetings, or celebrations. Overall, this location delivers a dependable, high-quality shopping experience with a strong emphasis on freshness, service, and presentation.”

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.
