“Trader Joe’s in Brick Plaza is mamash one of those places that you walk into “for two items,” and somehow you walk out with a tote bag full of snacks you didn’t know existed five minutes ago… and you’re smiling the whole way to the car. ? First off, the vibe is always upbeat. The staff here is super friendly and on top of it — you can ask where something is and they don’t just point vaguely like “aisle… somewhere.” They’ll actually walk you over, explain what it is, and half the time they’ll hit you with a suggestion like, “If you like that, you’ll love this.” It’s very heimish for a big chain — warm, helpful, and no attitude. The selection is what makes TJ’s TJ’s: all those signature items that are perfect for quick meals, easy lunches, and last-minute “we need something for the house” situations. Produce is fresh, the frozen section is a lifesaver (weeknight dinners, Shabbos prep shortcuts, you know the matzav), and the snacks are basically a full-time nisayon. Every aisle has something new that makes you stop and think, “Who asked for this?”… and then you buy it anyway. ? Pricing is also a big plus. You feel like you’re getting good quality without having to take out a mashkon on the house to pay for groceries. And everything is packaged nicely, easy to grab, easy to store — very practical. Now let’s talk real life: it can get busy, and the parking situation in Brick Plaza can be a little “chasunah traffic” at peak times. But honestly, it’s worth it. Go in with a little patience, maybe daven for a close spot, and once you’re inside you’ll forget the whole thing. Bottom line: clean store, great energy, consistently good products, and a staff that makes the whole experience pleasant. If you’re stocking up, grabbing a quick dinner, or just coming in for “one snack” (good luck), this Trader Joe’s is a win.”
“So much better prices than ShopRite. I ran in there for Macintosh apples and ended up buying a lot of produce and rye bread for 250 and a bunch of really good cheeses not overpriced. I will be back there.”
“So happy to find this market as I am in TR taking care of family. Very nice people, clean and fast and prices are competitive. If you need a breakfast sandwich it's 5.99 including coffee 8am to 10am. I will be a regular!”
“When you need something fast Drinks ,Milk and that lucky lottery ticket. Remember you gotta play it to win it. Play 863 my lucky number. When you hit, you'll have me to thank .”
“The store.Was very packed with items. The inventory seem to be tremendously high.I would definitely go shopping hereAs I've been to other dollar generals and the inventory, wasn't so. Full.”
“Great place for shopping. Great layout and very easy to find what you are looking for. Amazing takeout and sushi right when you walk in. Always a great selection of food and bakery items. Many self check out lanes - some accept cash too.”
“So happy that this Stop & Shop is still here. They are always well stocked, have 99% of what I am needing or looking for, and the people that work there are always helpful when needed. (And if you like Starbucks, they have one inside by the far exit).”
“Shopped at the Aldi's in Brick. Nice newer store and definitely well stocked. Picked up my Butterball turkey there @$1.04 per lb. They had the larger size ones there . I got 19.5lb. there.”
“ALDI in Toms River is basically the definition of “do a quick run” that turns into a full-on haul… for the price of a coffee and a danish. ? This location is clean, organized, and set up in that classic ALDI way: you walk in, grab what you need, and somehow your cart is full of things you didn’t know you needed (hello, random seasonal aisle). The prices are legit, especially on staples — dairy, produce, snacks, pantry basics — and the store-brand stuff is often surprisingly solid. A few pro tips for anyone who doesn’t live in ALDI: Bring a quarter for the cart (yes, it’s normal, yes, you get it back, yes, the first time feels like a shidduch shailah). Bring your own bags or be ready to bag in the car like a seasoned professional. The checkout is fast — like, fast fast — so have your payment ready unless you want to do that awkward “hold on one second” shuffle while the line grows behind you. The staff here are usually friendly and efficient, and even when it’s busy it moves along pretty smoothly. Parking is straightforward, and it’s an easy in-and-out for a weeknight grocery run. Bottom line: if you want good quality basics, great prices, and a no-frills shopping trip that doesn’t take your whole day, this ALDI is a win.”
“Since having my back surgery, it’s been easier for me to order and pick up from Aldi‘s. I’m very grateful that the associate brings my cart full of food out to my car and actually puts it in my car!”
“Really good prices. I like the store because it's not an overwhelming selection. Basic stuff, plus some extras. They moved the item locations, but shelves are easy to scan for product. The aisles are very clearly marked. Bathroom is always clean and supplied.”
“Some might say it's expensive, however I am here to give you a honest review. Yes some items are expensive but I am here to say there are so many items you actually have a good selection to choose. So if you shop for home then this is the place you want to go to.”
“MY NUMBER ONE RANKED SANGWHICH DELI! The man who makes the submarines BOBBA SALAMA IS A MASTER SUBMON! He always is sure to sneak in an extra 1/4 pound of GABAGAOOL and paste on my sangwich ! He always uses the meat slicer machine to alter my ball cards making the corners PSA 10 sharp! Bobbaaaa Salaaaaama baby!”
“They are pros for fixing Vape’s. Ask for Dr Vape. He fixed my Vape easily and effortlessly after I went to three Vape stores. They are all very kind and helpful. They should change name Cumberland to the Vape hospitol. So happy with them. Thankgod for them !!!”
“This is the best latin food in NJ 1000000%. An AMAZING hidden gem!!! The empanadas and tortas!! All the food is fresh, amazing portions sizes, very affordable. Everyone needs to come here and give them the love they deserve!!”
“The food was very good and so was the service. The lighting was a little too dark to see some people at the table. One of the meals was a little hard to tell what it was, a label should have been used on some of the food. Pork was hard to tell what it was for example. It was very good though.”
“This is a real super (place to) stop. That's especially if your palate is craving. We're talking, great staff, fantastic products and food, and great pricing. If your a real grocer, come here.”
“This is normally the supermarket I use to fill in a couple items here and there when necessary mainly because it's more conveniently located, even if their prices are normally higher. That being said, they normally have a good selection of fresh produce that is decently priced and Boars Head cold cuts which I love. Today I was pleasantly surprised by their prices being a bit more reasonable and some great sales. I wish they had more "no sugar" items, but they are obviously on the upswing. I may even look at their circular from here on out. We'll see”
“It was wonderful, the selection of items and the people were an absolute treat. I recommend stopping by this as they offer many wonderful things to choose from☺️”
“Our dollar General is great. They offer many discounted food items as well as over the counter drugs and other household items. We go there almost every day to get milk/dairy and snacks. They also offer 5 dollar discounts on your purchases refundable on Saturdays.”
“Nice Aunty... affordable prices instead of traveling hours away... im happy she is saving alot of us the stress.... shes got great customer service and always willing to help... I love her!”
“Just finished up an Amazon delivery route in the morning, so i was in the area looking for a good breakfast sandwich. I googled and found this place a couple minutes away. I ordered the belly buster which had fried eggs, hashbrowns, pork roll, sausage and cheese. OMG! This was literally the best breakfast sandwich i ever had. It was big, delicious and just a sandwich of epic proportions. If im ever in the area, i know where im stopping again! Kudos to the person on the griddle. They make a mean sandwich!!”
“I know they're bad, the cheapest prices around for cigarettes. They have a lot of other items too, especially snacks... yeah I know they're bad too.?”
“love this place, so cute and quick bite for beach day they are great. I also love the preppy italian brand sauce and other food items for a quick fast dinner. love the outside too in summer great for catching up with friends and having a quick lunch or brunch”
“The day I had trying to fill a prescription with a savings card at CVS was so unnecessary. After tons of calls to my insurance, CVS, and the medication company, and even dragging my baby to CVS, I decided to transfer my prescription to ShopRite (transferring even suggested by my insurance) Betsy the pharmacist is amazing!!! She did in 10 minutes what CVS couldn’t do in two days! She was so pleasant to speak with and knows her stuff! Thanks for making my night so much easier Betsy! : )”
“Kiddos to Jessica from the Toms River BJs Bakery. When we called to place the order she was so kind and when we received the cake it was beautiful and delicious. You’re wonderful Jessica I would definitely recommend BJs in Tom’s River, NJ”
“While talking to a local man who frequently shops there. Lapalma Grocery is great for picking up everything from fresh produce to jumex juice. It's family owned and family friendly. Some staff are bilingual and some not. Staff have a diverse age group and appreciate you stopping by.”
“I have been a patient at every large pharmacy in NJ. Even some that no longer exist. This group of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are absolutely the kindest, most helpful, and truly the best I have ever had. They take care of me, answer all questions and are absolutely patients first. So many pharmacies are NOT. Do I wish there was a drive through? Sure. But is it worth giving that up so that I feel 100% safe and confident in the consistent services I know I will receive? Absolutely. If there's ever a shortage of a certain medication, they call me, anything at all and they stop to take time and check on it for me, and they are just so kind to me every time I go there. I absolutely recommend them- especially if you are close to this location. The small town pharmacy feel is what they have. If you are kind to people, they are much more likely to be kind in return. Just a thought...”
“always nice workers who talk to you and are helpful, they have a nice aura except the one dude who legit yelled at this first time co worker bc she made a mistake ☠️ he rlly hates his job idk if he quit but either way nice variety u can find what ur looking for easily. also BRING BACK JALAPEÑO CHEDDAR CHIPS HERE OR 1 STAR SERIOUSLY”
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.

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.
