“Been a daily customer for years, Santhosh is professional and polite. He is able to multitask efficiently to keep trips quick and convenient. Highly recommend this store for all essentials and lottery.”
“Editing my review because the folks in store pickup are AMAZING. I accidentally placed my order for pick up tomorrow instead of today. I can't believe I did that. I'm in the middle of some stuff and I need it today so I was gonna cancel and go shop myself but they were able to get everything in like record time, I can't believe how fast they were able to just help fix MY mistake. I appreciate it so much. this is my new Shop Rite since moving to the area in June. It's a HUGE store and I don't like the layout, but I get why it's laid out that way. They are open late and usually stocked well. I usually park in the back of the lot, self checkout, put my cart back. I hate the flow of traffic in the parking lot. Most people drive too fast in parking lots anyways.”
“The best homemade food every day @ Martino’s 107 Lodi st in Hackensack Nj Come in and enjoy some of our Italian cuisine Mamma Concetta and daughter Lena cooking 😋😋😋 🫶🏼”
“A famous local and favorite Polish butcher shop and grocery store in The metropolitan area of New Jersey. The best Polish butcher shop I've ever been to. Their sandwiches are amazing, their meat products are always fresh. I recommend the kielbasa sandwich or hot pastrami sandwich.”
“first time writing a review only because the sushi reminded me of japan, a small mom and pop shop selling incredible sushi wayyyy better than the overpriced omakase sushi around, and a great way to support local business! i bought matcha whisk as well because mine was falling apart😅”
“Nice place to get water Great service,Quick and easy Anytime I ever came in I always had a good experience. The place is always clean and the employees are so helpful.”
“I feel welcomed at this TJ Fresh fruit selections. Great variety. Best service and plentiful parking. I miss the store if I haven’t gone there for a few days.”
“A great store, with FRIENDLY people who work there. Many of the foods are organic. I guess all the customers are prepared to pay that price. The atmosphere is very nice - much better than your normal supermarket.”
“Haven’t been able to go to Terri Lee in Maywood, NJ for quite a while due to medical reasons. This shop is a one-stop destination for all your favorite Asian groceries, offering great quality at “very reasonable prices”. The owner is lovely and provides excellent service—if it’s hard to find, you’ll find it here! Every Saturday features a fantastic selection of familiar street food, fresh produce, dried goods, and kitchenware. I highly recommend supporting this wonderful business. Photo is missing lots of frozen favorite food, it’s in my fridge. I’ll definitely be back! Choke dee na ka!”
“Hands down my new favorite local grocery store! I love the selection, the lighting, the organization and store layout. The staff is super friendly and attentive without being pushy. Thank you for this store.”
“Wedge like sandwich that was pretty good. Ordered the sausage egg and cheese. Small store front with limited parking in front. They charge a fee for using credit card.”
“If u miss little treats from grece, turkie or Albania, like the name mediterrranean stuff, u can find everything here, the staff is very friendly and kind, ready to help u to find the things u need.”
“This Turkish market is truly a gem. The staff are incredibly warm and genuine, and their hospitality is what keeps me coming back. The store is spotless, and the products both Turkish and European are always fresh. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality and a clean, inviting space.”
“The highest Quality Meat Sold anywhere, This is the only place to go for fresh Beef, chicken , and especially Lamb,... The owner personally goes to meat auctions to purchase the best possible meat, Not like any store in the area. They will go out of there way to make sure you get want you want, cut the way you want and by far the CLEANEST place to buy meat. -- Don't forget to get the homemade Kofta, and Adana ground meats.”
“This wine and spirits store is a hidden gem! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and always happy to help you find the perfect wine or spirit for any occasion. They have an impressive selection of Italian, French, and other international wines, as well as a wide range of spirits and beers. Whether you're looking for a bottle of wine for a dinner party, or stocking up on beer for a game night, ShopRite Wines & Spirits of Clifton has you covered. They also offer catering, party platters, and gift baskets for special occasions. I highly recommend stopping by to check out their amazing selection.”
“I wanted to compliment my cashier today Shel ..:I was carrying 5 items because I had only run in for 1 thing and didn’t grab a basket . He stopped ringing up the customer in front of me, pulled out the wooden tray and took the items from me . This was going above and beyond in customer service ! Thank you for making my day . (I did apologize to the customer for delaying her time at the register )”
“Firstly a positive. AMAZING delicious variety , fast shipping! Only reason I am giving 4 rather than 5 stars is because most important, one of my items was missing from my order & I still have not received it..... And while everything in the box was beautifully , IMPECCABLY wrapped up, safe tapped up & packed with obvious care❤, my box itself arrived with one end untapped and the flap sliding out so opening . But the latter could be UPS handling error I am sooooo happy I found Piccolo's online while trying to find somewhere to try A'ranciata blood orange soda! I hesitated initially because it is always a risk ordering anything online. I definitely will order again especially some specialty pastas & more of the pistachio citron cantucci and will probably do the optional tip at checkout out but ONLY if my lil package of olive oil mulino bianco foccacelle arrives that was one of the items i was especially excited to taste and it is the one item I still have not received, although everything else all arrived in the box”
“Store is the best In The City With Good Quality Food, good service also clean floors as soon as they can ,but busy at 12pm since lunch time but that’s where the best food comes! Come Shop Here! I recommend!”
“The best winery in my area, everything fresh, the sandwiches are the best and the customer service is A+ because they are super friendly, I recommend them 100%!!”
“Favorite place since I was a child. Brought my kids here for decades, even though we had to drive 1.5 hrs to get there. I went to place an order recently and it said they weren’t taking any on their site. I hope all is well in one of the best places I have ever been in to shop”
“My wife wanted me to bring her here. I really didn’t know what to expect, I thought it was a knickknack type of store. I was surprised that it was a supermarket. They had a variety of different types of food. You can find what the other stores don’t have.”
“I am big on customer service and this is what keeps me coming back. Every single employee I encounter is always willing to help. The quality of the groceries and prices are an added level of greatness.”
“Before Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods coming to this neighborhood, this was the main to go place. It has his quirks, but it’s a great place better than Dagastino”
“I always make my purchases, but one time the guy made a mistake and they overcharged me... but then the person in charge and they helped me... It's good to see your receipt before throwing it away, we are not perfect and we can make mistakes... .and from there my favorite place to buy PLATAN AND BANANA HEHEHEHE”
“Want to thank you for coming to Fordham road . First time tasting it was amazing my son love the pizza he order spicey pepperoni I had the burger will be coming back .”
“Garden Gourmet really is an oasis in this neck of the Kingsbridge-Riverdale woods. The quality is uniformly high, with a few exceptions, and the prices are decent. More expensive than, say, Stop & Shop across the street, but overall a vastly superior store. Produce selection is abundant, with plenty of organic options. You can tell the store has a buyer who cares about quality. Again, with exceptions. They occasionally sell Sunset brand products, like tomatoes, which are not good. They should do better quality control on tomatoes. Also, there are many bagged veggies, like spinach and salads, which can contain spoilage and are best avoided. I wish they would eliminate these, but I guess people like them because the veggies are pre-washed. But there are plenty of fresh alternatives to these. The meat and chicken section also is good quality, but can be pricey, except they have an excellent deal on Bell & Evans chickens, which are top-notch. (They also offer cheap mass-produced Perdue chickens which are tasteless, but can be avoided.) The butchered meat selection is not huge, more select, but good quality and reasonably priced. However, if you're going for processed packaged meats, like sausages and other deli cuts, they have tons of high-quality imports, along with quality sliced ham, turkey, and other cold cuts that they package themselves. Their fresh fish selection is small, but good quality and not cheap. Smoked fish, though? Huge selection. Then there's the cheese -- a superb curated spread that's massive considering the size of the store, with many great prices. One picayune exception: their house-made fresh mozzarella is bland. Luckily they have other brands. Garden Gourmet obviously prides itself on their house-made products, including bean salads, olives, slaw, potato salads, etc. -- and these are uniformly good. They also offer a TON of prepared cooked food for take-home meals, but I never buy that stuff because I cook for myself. It sure looks and smells good though. The GG has a HUGE selection of locally sourced bread off all types that blows away any supermarket. Also a nice pick of cakes and pies and other baked goods that are either house made or locally sourced. One other criticism of GG: Their coffee beans are inferior. I wish they'd get a new supplier for these. Othewise there is SO MUCH more I could say about this store -- like discuss their IMMENSE selection of products imported from mainly Eastern European countries -- but I've blabbed on enough. If the Garden Gourmet ever closed down I'd be shattered.”
“The best farmers market to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Yes it is small but very clean. The workers are very friendly. You can't beat the prices. They also carry fresh flower arrangements.”
“Awesome experience with Grand & Essex Market!!!! Best catering ever!!! With Shloimy, you’re on the safe side—excellent food, and unbeatable prices. You get much more than what you pay for.”
“The best deli evvver, I get the egg and cheese on a roll, always fresh and well cooked. The staff are the best, friendly and can’t do enough for you. Love from the English lady. See you next year xx”
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.
