“Only downside is no self check out and only one or two registers open at a time. Also some of the cashiers do not have a regards for fragile items. Today I had a cashier just throwing items in the cart as she scanned. She place chips, eggs and cookies in the bottom of the cart and threw bottles of orange juice on top of the fragile items. She never once apologized or tried to keep order of fragile items. She continued to jus throw items in the cart blindly and with no care. I guess at the least most approved is she placed the bread in the top area of the cart.... She checked out the person behind me with 3 smaller order with care. She probably didnt know that we was together. But I noticed the difference in care and service. Over all the store is clean, well stocked, fresh produce and other items, as well as staff is very helpful and polite on the sales floor. The cashier needs some work and retraining on how to handle peoples food and cart place ment. Side note: I thanked her throughout the whole process never once did she reply back. Let alone say thank you and/ or have a good day. But she said it to the other party I was with. I can't remember her name but her hair and lips match of a burgundy/ deep purple color. Other than that I would have given 5 stars and my comment would have been shorter but still pleasant. Update: Went back again nd pretty much still the same. My cashier was super nice, cautious with items and courteous.”
“I shop here daily. They always have what I want and if they don't I can usually tell them what I like and they will get it for me. There is a food truck on the lot that has great food. They also have a lot of treats from foreign countries that my niece loves to try when we go in there. My favorite store!!”
“I absolutely love this market it is the best place to find wholesome. Good ingredients to make the best Hispanic foods with a fresh meat market in the back fresh meats daily butchered in house. It doesn’t get better than this.”
“Excellent customer service and an essential place for all your Genuine Ethiopian food staples!! Not only a food store, carries other items, such as Buna service sets, Jebena's and many other items. Please come check them out.”
“I’m so glad I found Dire Dawa Grocery and I really hope this helps someone else too! Okay, so I don’t usually write long reviews, but this one honestly deserves it. My husband is Ethiopian, and for a while, I’d been trying so hard to find a grocery store that actually has authentic Ethiopian meat, spices, and all the things he loves and misses from back home. It took us forever to find a place that really felt right until we came across Dire Dawa Grocery, and now I just have to share it because I know there are people out there struggling to find the same thing. From the moment we walked in, I could tell this place was special. The smell of the spices, the friendly faces, the shelves full of everything from berbere and shiro to Ethiopian coffee, snacks, and cultural products it honestly felt like stepping straight into a little piece of Ethiopia. My husband’s face lit up as soon as he saw everything. The meat was super fresh. I bought some for him, and he couldn’t stop talking about how it tasted exactly like the kind he used to get back home. You can tell they really know what they’re doing and take pride in it. The people who work there are so kind and welcoming, too. They didn’t just sell us stuff they took time to help me find what I needed and even explained some of the spices I wasn’t familiar with. It made me feel really comfortable and connected, even though I’m not Ethiopian myself. I know this review is long, but honestly, the reason I’m writing all this is because I know there are other people, maybe someone like me, searching for a place that feels real and trustworthy. I just want everyone to know that Dire Dawa Grocery is that place. Whether you’re Ethiopian, married to one, or just love authentic cultural food, you’ll find everything you need here. Thank you, Dire Dawa Grocery, for bringing such a warm, authentic experience to our community. You made my husband’s day (and mine too!). We’ll definitely be back again and again.”
“Every time I go, the lady always appreciates to give me at least 1 or 2 bags.So I have to go back tomorrow.. I like when they have the coupons on Saturday.But make sure you have it with you”

“Pumps never have receipt paper, lines are always long and pumps are buggy. 3 stars. They get 1 star back because the pump did not try to sell me smokeless tobacco.”
“This is a special shout out to the employees here in Whitehall. This is not the closest location to my house so why would i come here?? Its the costumer service, the sales and the great people who shop here jus like im doin. I know a few employees who work there and the always do there job with a positive attitude with a smile on there face. Its like goin to a bar and the bartender is smilin while their makin your drink.....that goes a long way. Anyway to Paula, Shana, Ray, and James....keep up the OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I have to share this also. About 2 yrs ago I'm in the checkout line and its time to pay up, well i left my wallet in the car so i run out to get it. By the time i got back, all my groceries were paid for and bagged up. The very nice lady who did that was on her way out the door so i catch up to her and thank her from the bottom of my heart. She said she felt like doin somethin good for someone. That goes to show that there are still great people around and its a blessing to run into them.”
“I Love the different selections of fresh lunch meats and cheeses when I'm ready for a great deli sandwich and even adding the fresh cut my way, pepperoni in my spaghetti as well, I Love Walmart Deli Thank You!!!!”
“The money center is probably the best thing about this location. No matter how long the line is, it still moves pretty fast. Staff at the money center are the friendliest staff at this location.”
“Considering all that's going on, everyone was very friendly. The store was clean and well stocked. Fresh baked goods, plenty of meat and fresh vegetables. The aisles are a little narrow but it was honestly no problem. I'll shop here again”

“I wish they had more of a selection of Lactaid ice cream only the same 3 flavors and Lactaid sour cream. Also, it seems like lately they are always out of things I want. Lactaid egg nog BigK cola.”
“They were able to help me with my transfer from the CVS pharmacy when I continued to fail to get my medication being as I shopped that store any way I can no not have to make extra trips and they have my pills”
“When I switched from CVS to Kroger Pharmacy it has been nothing but pleasant experiences! I never understood how a 24hr pharmacy could lack so much and always slow and seemed to not care as if customers were bothering them when the prescription was due to be ready by a certain time! They wanted you to come back hours later or the next day! Not here at Kroger! They would immediately make it right! They are calm and they also don’t let their emotions show if the customer is aggravated! I’m more than please with my switch! Thank you Kroger”
“Denver - he is an employee here guy and is the only reason I’m giving 5 stars. This review is for him and not the store overall! Out of all the Walmarts that I have been to the past week, which has been every Walmart within a 35-40 minute drive from the Easton mall area - he is the only person who stopped to actually help us. So many employees avoided us in this store however Denver let us know when the item we were looking for would be in stock and came to find us to let us know when a good time to come would be. He was extremely polite and patient with us and I will forever remember that experience with an employee at Walmart because a lot of them don’t care. So thank you Denver for being the first Walmart employee in the past week to actually stop and genuinely care. You will forever be a Walmart legend to me. You are amazing! THANK YOU DENVER!!!! Update to add the woman that was stocking toys today 04/06/26 she was amazing as well! She was best kind and patient and a pleasure to meet! I wish I got her name, but I’m sure I will see her again!”
“Great store. Sign up for the rewards, you'll save money. They do electronic coupons as well I believe. On Thursday, the roasted chickens are 6.00 instead of 7.99 for rewards members?”
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.
