“This little Walmart is like the original Walmart. It was small it was clean and it didn't have groceries which I like. I don't like the mega Walmart so this is the Walmart type I enjoy going in.”
“Great food friendly people. People are rude because prices keep going higher but in this economy is understandable. If cade lake didn’t vote republican we wouldn’t have this problem. Get what you vote for. Recommend!”
“Great friendly service with good deli foods and specials. All tacos are made fresh with homemade tortillas and lunch specials on burgers, fish plates, and chicken fried steak. The wash house next door is updated with new machines, maintained well, and kept very clean.”
“A full grocery store with a convenient pharmacy. Great selection of grocery items. The prices of most items tend to be higher compared to other stores.”
“Fantastic store! Excellent new ownership! My daughter's vehicle broke down on her way to College Station a few weeks ago. The owner and team were so kind to her. They ensured she was safe, allowed her to leave her vehicle there until we could come get it, and they fed her! Can't say enough about this store! My new favorite stop on the way to College Station!”
“Feels like this DG has been around for ages. I've always liked it.I've noticed the staff here have upped their game lately. Few DG locations are staffed well and even fewer are clean and have uncluttered aisles. The Caldwell DG hasn't had much clutter in a long time (with the exception of some random stocking, which always clears up quickly) and I've seen quite a few new faces at the cash registers. Check-out can still take a while if a line forms, but I've also noticed that many people ignore the card-only self-checkout while in line. It's easy, takes your number/app/coupons, and works just the same.I also love their Pokemon selection here. They keep them behind the counter since theft became an issue for them a while back with the Pokemon TCG. They tend to have a pretty full selection of new (and sometimes older) cards as well as some tins every now and then. Coupons that make a $25 Pokemon run only $20 or so always win in my book. Hangers are only $4 each, which is hard to beat. As far as I know, they're the only place in Caldwell that consistently has basic Pokemon hangers in stock. Walmart is always hit or miss with these and usually stocks the hangers that are more expensive with a promo and a coin.”
“Clean store. So many items. It's like a combination of Walmart and a grocery store. They even have vitamins, essential oils, and healthy snacks. Most of all, the staff is so friendly. One of the cashiers even gave my elderly mother a chair to sit on while I got the items my mother needed. That was really kind and appreciated.”
“Always a friendly greeting well stocked and very easy to find what you are looking for. Restrooms large and clean like everything else. They have some of the best, biggest, breakfast taco and a good selection of foods to pick from. Tell them "Monster Man" sent you, their name for me. Can you guess what I usually buy? :?:”
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.

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.
