“I had a great experience at Walmart in Scranton, Pennsylvania. From the moment I walked in, the store felt clean, organized, and well-stocked. The layout made it easy to find what I needed, and the aisles were wide enough to navigate comfortably, even when the store was a bit busy. What stood out most was the customer service. A few employees were especially helpful when I had questions about where to find certain items. One associate in the electronics section patiently helped me compare products and made great recommendations without being pushy. Another employee in the grocery department went out of their way to check in the back for something I couldn’t find on the shelf. Prices were very reasonable, and I appreciated the wide variety of choices in each department—from fresh produce and household supplies to clothing and tech. The self-checkout process was quick and efficient, with staff nearby to assist if needed. Parking was easy, and the location is convenient whether you're local or just passing through. Overall, this Walmart exceeded my expectations. It’s a reliable one-stop shop with friendly staff and good energy. Highly recommended for anyone in the Scranton area!”
“Another had any problems with any Turkey Hill. Just sorry that this covid thing it's causing them to have constant turnover. I Miss the days when people know me when I walked in the door. Definitely not chairs and I am, not Norm!”
“I don't use the pharmacy here, but I am leaving a good review because of the pharmacist. Yesterday (9/25/25) I went in very sick with coughing and my sinuses hurt so bad it felt like I got punched in the face. I asked the pharmacist what type of medicine I should get because I typically never get this sick or have to take medicine. He was very kind. He listened to all of my symptoms and suggested I get a certain kind of medicine. He suggested the perfect thing because it's now the next day and with only two doses I feel SO much better. I can breathe better and the pain from my sinuses is almost gone. I just really appreciate his help.”
“I told the baker my daughter wanted a Draculaura cake, and they did amazing. I was beyond satisfied with this cake. The work and price was way better than a lot of shops in the area. I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to get such a niche cake created how she would like for a reasonable price. Don’t sleep on the Walmart bakery. The decorators are talented. Thank you for the beautiful cake🩷”
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 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.
