“Talk about your down home little roadside country store where they remember your name and things you purchase. Super friendly and helpful. Kenny is family been super good to us even helped by taking time out of his busy day to deliver things when we had no ride. Willing to go the extra mile to help.”
“Stopped in while visiting family friends in Wilder. Randall was very kind, the bologna sandwich was gigantic and delicious, and they sell Big Red soda! Gem of a spot, reminds me of home.”
“My first time shopping here and I really liked it. Big variety of produce and other items. Excellent prices on everything. Some of the dented cans or expired items make me a little leery, but I know that you can usually use something past the date on the package. They had a good selection of blue jeans at wonderful prices! I like the locally made Yoder preserves and pie fillings. Also some unique international items that I picked up. They have some wonderful European chocolates, at unbelievable prices!! The girl at the checkout was very sweet, 10 stars for customer service!”
“We have been to West Fork Grocery before, but Sat. Feb. 10, 2024 was the first time we stopped in to eat. We were cold, soaked to the skin, muddy, from having been riding at nearby Cub Mountain ATV Park & Campground. We were hungry. Cub Mountain has a lunch counter, but today when we were there they were open for riding only due to the weather. We stopped in and Tana prepared us a hot lunch for a bargain price! The wood stove was still warm. The store was cozy. We sat and enjoyed her company and ate lunch with her. It was wonderful! Me and Sharon had a philly cheese steak. Kenny had a bacon cheeseburger. We had chips and drinks. I can hardly wait to go back. This little country store is quite a hidden gem. They take pride in their home cooked foods and have quite a satisfying menu to pick from. They sell beer, soft drinks, water, juice, snacks, basic grocery items, auto items like parts, motor oil, health aids like basic medicines, candy, icecream. They even have cards and some gifts! The place is decorated with antiques and photos of area history. I've met Kathy, the owner, who is lovely and very easy going. Great food, great service and fun conversation. We went home feeling a lot better than when we stopped in! Pay them a visit when you are in the area. You'll be glad you did!”
“There are already so many positive glowing comments about this Food Lion store's cleanliness, friendliness, and wide variety of quality grocery items at an affordable price and I agree 100%♥️ I give you 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Livingston Food Lion for a pleasant and enjoyable shopping experience!”
“Great store! Great owners! Sandwiches, coffee, breakfast, and watch their page on facebook because they'll throw some burgers on the grill on occasion. Need bait or your hunting/fishing licence? They've got it. Need to check in your deer or turkey? Do it here. Gas? Even with rising prices they're cheaper than the stores in town. And the guys standing around the counter remind me of the old days when we weren't in an hurry and had time to actually interact with each other.”
“Small Home town grocery store they got a good selection friendly workers easy to get in and out excellent meat department they will cut sandwich meat or s steak anyway you want it or any other meat also”
“The best prices on canned goods out of anywhere. Even most local places can't beat them on sale.Staff is always very friendly and helpful. Well-stocked and a very clean store as well.”
“It's very convenient and for the most part very friendly employees, but they never have enough cashiers at the busiest times. There is one cashier that is unfriendly enough that I don't shop if she's working. Other than the unfriendly redhead and lack of enough help, I like shopping there.”
“We live out of state but shop regularly at Dollar Generals on the Florida coast through to central Florida and into Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi. Without a Shadow of Doubt, the Dollar General Market in Livingston, Tennessee, is BY FAR the nicest, most spacious, most well-stocked, most organized, and the most sparkling clean Dollar General we have EVER been in....cleaner than even Publix Supermarkets. Whenever we are in Livingston, we shop there in absolute amazement. I read these reviews in amusement: you dear Livingston people have NO IDEA how fortunate you are!! You should experience shopping at 95 % percent badly managed stores across the south whose floors have never seen a mop and whose shelves are half empty and stuff crammed so tight in the aisles that a cart can barely traverse. We think Dollar General should bring new manager trainees here to set their standards this high. Get rid of the snippy cashier, manager, and bask in the glory of a job spectacularly done otherwise.”
“The ladies are incredibly helpful and courteous, however the guy who works there is totally opposite. If he were the only employee there I would never enter the store.”
“It's a nice little store it closes too early in the winter & prices are really high but the owners are nice people it reminds me of a little country store where you know everyone”
“I stop at Dollar Generals stores a lot to pick up soft drinks while I am traveling. Good price. No matter where you are there is always a Dollar General Store close by.”

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.

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.

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.
