“We have property in a remote area of PA and the Leeper Market is the closest food market around. They make their own maple sausage which is very good! They also have a wide selection of products for a small store and fairly priced.”
“This DG is convenient but not always very well stocked. If you want a certain brand of things like soda, cereal, or cat food, you have to get there early on Saturdays or it will sell out and you'll have to come back another day. They made the sidewalk to the left of the store barely wide enough for a single cart and then also failed to put posts up, so if someone pulls their vehicle clear in to the curb you can't get your cart through because the front end of the vehicle will be in the way, so you will either have to take it over the curb and through the parking lot to get it to your car or else carry all of your bags to your car from that point. Also, God forbid you park on that side and then a delivery shows up, because the semis will park you in. The delivery entrance is at the back lefthand side of the building and there is not a lot of room to navigate. So avoid parking on the left unless you can avoid it. Their biggest issue is the slow employees, especially when we aren't allowed to use the self-checkouts anymore. Unless you get lucky and the one chatty, polite, and efficient young man that they employ happens to be working, be prepared to stand in a long line because he seems to be the only one who can work and talk at the same time, or who seems to care that the line is long and people have other things they'd rather be doing. I have seen him come up to check the length of the line and then hop into checkout duty when needed. I have seen others finish a transaction and then stand there and carry on a conversation with someone they know while the line wound around the checkout lane and down the last aisle. I hope that corporate reads this and gives that kid a raise to keep him there, because he is one of the only really good things that the store has going for it. Other than that, I love how convenient it is, and that they have a decent amount of products. Now, if only we could get the people who build DG stores to take over both the cashier positions and then PennDOT...”
“Knowlegible staff. Excellent variety of craft and domestic beer. Everything from your old stand-by box of 24 to the 4 pack of something you really should try. Even has a drive thru. Remember to think global but drink local.”
“This is what I picture when I think of the old mom and pop shops of the 40’s & 50’s. The small town feel, locally sourced & homemade foods, clean cozy style set up, and a SUPER friendly staff. Connie (the owner) showed me around and talked business, family and recipes for a half hour. I will make it a point to stop every time I come into Tionesta!”
“Very nice staff. Always greeted in a pleasant manner Never have any problems getting assistance with anything. And the staff are very personable, respectful, and pleasant.”
“Pretty good selection of convenience store items and hot foods available. Its not far from route 80. Good stop for travelers. Bathroom is clean. They also sell beer.”

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.

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.
