“My son and I love this farm stand! We are members and visit to get delicious produce but also to enjoy the company of the workers! Everyone there is super kind and friendly! Can’t beat the pastries and produce!”
“Friendly, helpful staff! I do wish they had lightbulbs tho and some of the prices could be better comparable to Walmart (I know inflation is insane right now so it’s hardly surprising) Place smells just a TINY bit musty, but staff keep it clean as they can. I’ll most probably shop here again!”
“Lowest price gasoline in Cottage Grove. Using Safeway points dramatically can reduce the price of fuel also...Friendly staff who are generally quite fast at getting people in and out!”
“Pretty great place! Me and my fiance go quite often for snacks and energy drinks. They have a cool selection of 420 friendly merchandise and the workers have always been super nice! Really glad to live near such a nice, little store”
“This building is called 'Killions' (pronounced Kill-Yunz). But some convienience store chain bought it and put their own name on it. What they ought to do is have a signage format that respects the local history of places they buy out. In medium lettering have it say 'get-n-go's' (posessive s) and larger underneath it say KILLIONS. So it reads "get-n-go's Killions" Maybe im being nitpicky, but I think a lot of locals that have lived here for decades would appreciate that.”
“The new renovation is very nice. Fuel station is convenient. They offer clear gas. Very tight parking and exit. This summer will be interesting to see the boats coming through on the way to the lake.”
“Ever since I moved to this area, everybody that works at this store is super friendly, personal and helpful and they’re always respecting me and giving me the human dignity as a customer even though I’m transient and camping out in the homeless camp behind their store, I try to tip them for their service. Every chance I get in retrospect for their giving me human dignity, despite my current circumstances.. I recommend this convenience store over all the others in the area just because of the loving staff and their helpfulness to treat all humans with the same dignity.”
“Decent selection with convenience store prices. Be warned that they charge a 25¢ fee for using a debit card. If you're not in a hurry I suggest going to Safeway because their prices are significantly cheaper. Not much parking good customer service for a convenience store”
“I was acknowledged the second I opened the door & was treated respectfully, professionally and kindly. This works both ways in my opinion because I want to acknowledge the great customer service that Tor provided me. I vote for exchanging kindness any day of the week! I’ll definitely return. ?”
“Such kind employees and usually has what i’m looking for. Can you guys include the new Strawberry-Kiwi Beatbox into your flavors, very limited options and i’ve seen new ones coming out recently. :))”
“I was very impressed by this Walmart. My kid needed a lot of stuff for her UO dorm (I thought we had purchased everything needed, but apparently I was mistaken. LOL! Who knew a tiny room the size of a prison cell needed so much stuff???). At any rate, thank goodness for this Walmart. It had everything - and more! First of all, the grocery department was amazing. Tons of fresh produce, aisles and aisles of refrigerated and frozen foods, and non-perishable pantry foods, too. And as expected, the prices were fantastic. Tons of options, of smaller scale packaged foods and waters, perfect for dorms and small-scale fridges. The store is super clean and well laid-out, and easy to find what I needed (electronics, school supplies, Command hooks, bath and beauty items, etc). At one point I did need assistance in locating an item and I readily found an employee on the floor nearby and he knew immediately where to direct me. Nice! Bonus that they have a lot of UO Duck items (and reasonably priced, too!). The bathrooms were the cleanest of any Walmart I have ever been to. Carol at the cash check-out was quick and efficient and very friendly to boot. Great store.”
“Instead of harassing people that have decided to not wear a mask and are following CDC guidelines., you should post a sign saying all fully vaccinated people are welcome to shop here without a mask. You are making them think the vaccines dont work even though your pharmacy is promoting it. Cottage Grove Oregon Walmart”
“It’s the only supermarket besides Walmart in town. I did notice they carry some items I don’t usually find in Safeway so I guess they’re trying to support the community.”
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.
