“Great savings, but be prepared for a long wait during peak times. The queue inefficiency is just part of the deal here; you save on gas but pay with your time. If you're not on a tight schedule, it's the best value in the area.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ryan at Acme on Main Street in Maple Shade. In a world where customer service often feels rushed or impersonal, Ryan is truly one of a kind. Even though she does not even work in the department for the product I need, she continually goes above and beyond to help make sure I can get it — especially now that Acme has gone through their “reset” and the item must be specially ordered. What makes this even more meaningful is that this product is part of my healthy lifestyle after my cancer battle. Ryan has no idea just how much her kindness, consistency, and willingness to help has meant to me during this chapter of my life. She has shown genuine compassion, patience, and dedication every single time I’ve needed assistance. It is rare to find someone who cares this much and takes the extra time to help a customer without ever making them feel like a burden. Ryan represents the very best of what customer service should be. Acme is incredibly lucky to have someone like her on their team. Because of Ryan, I will continue shopping here and recommending this store to others. Thank you, Ryan, for your kindness, your heart, and for making a difference in ways you probably do not even realize.”
“Been coming to this acme since I was a kid like it less crowded dont like the 1 line open if you have cash cashiers are extremely nice. First time dealing with the younger management waited long time for lottery purchase I believe I aggravated him for the little I spent but no matter 1 $ to 500$ customer service should be top every customer should be greeted with a smile whether or not their having a bad day or they just dont like to smile if thats so thats your right but you shouldn't be in customer service job”
“I like BJ's as a wholesale club: have been a member for more than ten years. Their offerings are extensive and the prices are very affordable. Shopping at the club gives a boost to my senior, retired shopping power. In today's economic climate, BJ's is a great choice to bolster what you bring home.”

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.
