“Employees are great, respectful and they even chat with like you are family. They are very considerate of you and your shopping, Always there to help you out finding things around the store if you need it.”
“People could be nicer. I had a bunch of groceries that were rung up and bagged. Some of the bags were heavy and instead of helping me put some if the bags in the buggy, they turned around and started chatting with the girl at the next register over. One was the third key manager. I am a manager and would never turn away from a customer if they were still at the register.”
“We normally go here for authentic tacos and it's amazing every time! They are also a food store with a great selection of Mexican style groceries. Some of the best advocados I have found around town. Check them out!”
“They have do much to offer at really really good prices! It die helps the person who don't get any assistance from the government. I always seem to make $20. To much to get any help! Frustrating! Anyway great place to shop before going to the grocery store.”
“Super nice and friendly service. hands down best store in the region and the owners paul and his wife wonderful folks as well over all great store that's why it's the only store I stop at”
“I didn't see a lot of items laying around like I do in other locations, got a good selection of monster drinks to (even the niche ones)-the workers are very chill as well.”
“I love doing my shopping at this Dollar general. I drive miles just to come to this one!! They are the sweetest most helpful and friendly staff. They are the best people!!!!!”
“Very clean store and good meat quality. Pricing is spot on & staff is very helpful / kind. I've never had a bad experience or had to return anything to this location. I would highly recommend.”
“I'm so glad my nephew and I stopped in for breakfast at Corner Market the other morning. The food was wonderful, the service was fast, and friendly. I had a breakfast meal for $5.99 which included 2 eggs (over well, and perfectly cooked), bacon, gravy and a biscuit. It was the best breakfast I've had in a long time!”
“Gotta give Dollar General @ 8430 Georgetown Rd. In Georgetown, Tn praise. Never have I been in a very clean, well organized Dollar General as the one I went in today. Everything well stocked and didn't have any issues finding anything, that I needed today. From Aaron, the D.M. to Jason, the store manager, all the way down to the associates, Thank you! Wish other D.M. and store managers and staff would follow suit! My new goto Dollar General for all my needs!!!!”
“I live in Pikeville, where we only have Piggly Wiggly, and a Save a Lot ( which is closing soon). So seeing all the options that food city had to offer, from fresh vegetables to No Fat Dairy and everything in between, was great. Their carts also have a cup holder, which I didnt notice until the end of my shopping trip... but still , clean store, great prices, great selections.”
“The dollar store was well organized but the cashier was not to nice she was going to charge me the full price I told her I got it out of the cart was 50 percent off and she was rude”
“I stopped in at this particular store for the first time today. First, a big Thank You to all employees working to serve us in this pandemic. I had to leave before I could make a purchase, but must say wow! I've never seen a Dollar General Store so well organized and so clean! Shopping aisles were clear of clutter, which makes it safer and more convenient for shoppers. I'm in the area often and plan to stop in when I'm in Graysville. I give them five stars across the board.☺”
“Food City is hard to beat for consistency and quality. Some items are more pricey than elsewhere but I try to stick to the sales and the store brands. Friday, Saturday only sales are usually very good compared to typical grocery prices these days.”
“Best cleanest Dollar store I've been in. thank you for all the hard work. these ladies take pride in the cleanliness of the store and its always stocked. not like the others with junk on the stocking racks taking up the walking space of isles.”
“This lil Mom n Pop Pizza /Deli Style Market Store has the absolute BEST folks running it by far & with Gary's awesome personality, smile and hospitality he surly makes anyone feel welcomed and wanted there no matter what kinda day dude has, he always has a smile on his face . Makes you feel welcomed as soon as you put 1 foot in that door. They have everything from Cigarettes, Alcohol, Hot Made Pizzas, Boiled PeaNuts, Game Machines to play, also they have a plethora of Delta 8/9 products , ranging from gummies, pens, candy, chocolates, and more. Also, they have so many different utensils to choose from for all your smoking needs, so many different groovy products such as glass bongs, pipes, rellos, lighters, cool torches, adapters for other smoking products, other smoking pipes, also they have a pool table and sitting area, bathroom, and everything else you could want and need. This store has been open several times over the past decade and no one has been able to get it and keep it open and in business but, I don't see Gary and his lovely family having not one bit of trouble keeping the doors open!!! My favorite lil corner market to visit, daily! If they don't have what you need or looking for they will make sure they take the time to listen to you and order " if possible" what it is your seeking!! I actually drive 7 miles out of my way just to frequent this store instead of going just 1 mile from my home to another store... That's how awesome these folk are y'all! Go try it out, they have (EVERYTHING) you need and more. I must add, their beautiful personalities from the whole family makes it all worth the drive. ????”
“I have been going to the Dollar General in Athens for about 2 months now. Every time I go in there the young guy follows me around the store. I guess he thinks I am stealing. Or he wants a date !!!! I have kids older than he is. I am probably good 40 years older than him. But I wonder what this boy would do if he actually did see someone stealing? He can’t put his hands on a customer, and he only weighs 150 lbs . I don’t think Athens City is going to come tires smoking or guns blazing over dollar store merchandise. I wonder if he has thought bout that? A store wrongly accuses a customer of Theft, that’s one heck of a liability. And it’s so annoying getting followed, every time I turn the corner, he’s there. Not very good at being a loss prevention dude. Those cats at Walmart could teach him a few things. They r the pros”
“I stop here almost every day. The couple that owns the store are extremely nice to me. Pizza is always good, and the beer is always cold. Best store in the country, in my book.”
“They are wayyy nicer than the store across the street that will literally not let you use the restroom to even wash your hands until you have paid them something. Wouldn't even let me wash the gas off my hands before paying.”
“The short stop is a very cool little store, they have everything that you need! They have a deli with the best cheeseburgers in the whole entire world. They have live bait, for example minnows, worms, and crickets. They also have beverages including coffee and fountain drinks, with all the cokes or pepsis you could ever want!!! It is like a mini market they have all kinds of things that are essential for being on the river or in a tent. Visit this store!!!”
“Really neat little country store with all kinds of surprises. They have Krispy krunchy fried Chicken which is superb. They sell Hunt Brothers Pizza, made fresh. And the best hidden gem, is a fried fish fillet sandwich. It's a full fish fillet. I think it's probably cod. But it's the best darn fish sandwich you'll get for $2.59, ever.”
“Is a standard Walmart but it's pretty good. They have fresh fruits and vegetables. a lunch meat deli area with a good selection, roast chickens and the bakery with cakes and pies. Dry goods and groceries. Sporting goods hardware electronics. The people are pretty helpful. They have just about everything you need. Sometimes not the brands that you would prefer. They have self-help check out but they also have a few manned checkout registers. Lots of parking. A pickup area for call in orders and handicap parking.”
“Very friendly helpful staff. I went in for one item. They showed me where to find it and I wound up walking out with two bags of other things I needed but had not expected to find, as well as some great sale prices.”
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.
