“Aldis is a regular stop. Generally once or twice a week. We find their prices to be reasonable and their stock is usually pretty good. Main complaint seems to be their produce sometimes seems a little old. Does not always appear to be fresh. But otherwise their stock is adequate. Between Aldis and Walmart our needs are met.”
“Amazing! My friend Andrew recommended it to me and it truly was a great experience! She even introduced me to her friends Eric, Dylan and Adam! She then said she had to go see her ghost squad lol... But overall amazing shopping experience!”
“Everytime I'm in Walmart my husband and I have the most positive interactions with Don and Victoria at self checkout and Kimberly at regular checkout. They are wonderful humans who always cheerfully greet us. We can't say enough good about them.”
“They’ve made 2 cakes for my daughters birthday and they are SO GOOD! They are consistent and they look exactly like the pictures my daughter picks out. Thanks to the girls in Weis bakery!”

He’s quick to assist, incredibly knowledgeable about the store’s products, and always handles even the busiest times with calm professionalism. His positive attitude makes shopping here a genuinely enjoyable experience. Meg is friendly, patient, and truly customer-focused. Whether she’s at the register or helping on the floor, she always makes sure customers find what they need. Her warm personality brightens the store. Carissa brings a wonderful mix of efficiency and kindness. She works hard, keeps things running smoothly, and never hesitates to go the extra mile for shoppers. Her upbeat attitude is always appreciated. Overall, this location runs like a well-oiled machine because of this dedicated and outstanding team. It’s clear they care about their store and their customers. Thank you, Katrina, Rob, Meg, and Carissa, for consistently delivering excellent service!”

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.
