“I love Fort Sam. The guards at the gate are fantastic and bid you a great day. The commissary is big, clean and they have a fantastic meat selection. The downside is that most prices are on par with HEB and that is not good. Meat prices are good, however, and better than HEB's. Staff are so nice and helpful and they greet you at the cashier's checkout. They normally have bargains on produce and it looks fresh. I have no issues but I wish food prices were lower for those who have families,especially. Overall, I love Fort Sam.”
“Been going to Jay's food Mart on Gibbs sprawl road and every time I go there I always have a good time the people that are very nice and also they have a coin pushing machine and a couple of video slot machines in there I like to play every once in awhile just to relax and talk to the people in there and they have great customer service”
“I have dry skin, so this felt a bit drying on my face. It might work better for oilier skin types. I’ll finish it, but I plan to try a different daily sunscreen from Trader Joe’s next time.”
“They have great prices and an amazing selection of products. The store is very clean and well maintained. Staff is very polite and kind. I went to stock up some self care products.”
“Brianna S. was the cashier....don't know the lady's name that bagged my groceries. They were a great team. Personable, kind and efficient. It made a huge difference for me! July 3 at 12:50 pm.”
“This one is just simply beautiful. Not overwhelming with products. It surprisingly has everything that you need. Prices are not adjusted to demographics which is wonderful. Definitely a safe place due to police always here.”
“I actually put a review on the wrong place and I apologize for the mistake alsoI have not visited or purchased anything at this store was only in the parking lot”
“This is a west side staple in the community. Been serving great eats forever at a great price. The burgers are really delicious and at a great price. Continue to support a local business.”
“This place is awesome.. the people here are super friendly and helpful. The food is fresh and hot and tastes like homemade. I got a double cheeseburger and chili cheese onion rings. They have brownies that are out of this world. The only thing I could recommend they do is to create a homemade burger or dipping sauce. That would take this place to the top level.. I look forward to going back when I'm in the area..”
“This store has always been amazing! The staff is always so friendly and they remember their customers. They also have a wide variety of products at great prices. I highly recommendchecking them out!”
“This store super exceeded my expectations. Went in for red bell peppers they didn't have. The workers attentive way to customers is amazing. I was served by Ashley as a first time shopper I am amazed.”
“Small produce market with pretty good selection of fruit and vegetables. Produce was beautiful and fresh! Prices on par and sometimes cheaper than HEB. I wouldn’t recommend getting more “exotic” fruit there as it was pretty pricey (I.e pomegranates, dragon fruit, etc). Wasn’t crowded and there was plenty of parking, even on the weekend.”
“Our must stop by shopping spot in San Antonio. Sasha is always ready to help find what you need, with her very unique and cordial attention. I highly recommend her!”
“Let me tell you, HEB & Sprouts does NOT even COMPARE. The meat is great quality, and an even better price! Listen I have gone to HEB and the meat is tough hard to digest and make you feel sluggish sometimes even odd looking. Sprouts is even worse regarding price it’s disappointing to say the least. I 10/10 RECOMMEND, we’ve come here twice now and will continue to come here! We’ve been very satisfied with the quality of the meat. It’s soft, tender and juicy easy to digest no complaints not even from my picky eater! Cuts are cut fresh daily, and customer service is great which is rare nowadays! We were assisted with a smile & great patience for new comers like my family. Their packs and special prices can’t be beat! We’re almost done with our recent order & can’t wait to go back! One last thing, yes they take SNAP to those who have it, take a look at their website if needed run don’t walk!! *** Update We been coming here monthly, their bundles and prices are quality and quantity! Forget Sam’s and Costco and come here you won’t be disappointed. Call ahead if you place large orders and they will have it ready for you to pick up. Which is convenient with our baby girl no time wasted. Over all since coming here my family is overall healthier fed and happier I have a picky eater and let me tell you he raves and looks forward to what’s cooking!”
“Its part of HEB so they have some HEB branded stuff. They also have a wider range of fruits and vegetables. I usually stop for the heirloom tomatoes which HEB doesn't normally have in their main stores. They are expensive but taste like tomatoes not plastic”
“I came across this International Mart food. It was the best food I ever had in my life lamb. Shank was off the hook. I will recommend everybody to go try it out!”
“I love this store! We just moved from CA, so was trying to find a closer Sprouts alternative. I'm leaving this a 4 star, because one cashier was pretty rude, but maybe I just came on a bad day. My cashier was very helpful, and assisted with all of my questions. Maybe I'm just a bit too peppy I suppose, but a smile back can really make someone's day.”
“Very professional and polite my appointment was at 800 showed one hour before my appointment and get door right away! Receiving office next to door 38 You have to park at the street if you early”
“We go out of our way to go get our bulk chorizo and our smoked country sausage because that's the best ? flavor no one makes it any better!!! ya'll keep up the good job and you will always have a happy camper going back to get more ?”
“This mom and pop business is definitely the best kept secret in the United States! From service ,meat market to tacos. Did I mentioned they have a tortilla factory. Awesome! Please don't forget to tip the line servers, they don't expect it but they surely deserve it.”
“Lots of pretty snacks to share with others if you want to buy a box full of them. Cute mom and pop Korean store. Check out the frozen section for meats too. They even have a cute and chill Korean restaurant inside as well.”
“This is one of my favorite corner stores to go to off Rittiman.They are awesome about having a quick "in and out" capability in this store. A++ for this place!Place is always clean, Staff is very welcoming to a point where you feel like family. Always has a full stock of items from lottery-food-daily essentials-smoking accessories & more; with all products very reasonably priced ☺️A year ago the timing of employees wasnt accurate to the opening time posted on the front however that has changed to them opening punctually and staying open until the very last minute possible.Again... A++ to Billies Food Mart on Rittiman Rd!!”
“The store is always clean and smells like lavender. They carry very select items from produce to candy to fresh baked goods it's not an HEB or Walmart. They also offer Amazon prime discounts with the Amazon app and special discounts are offered through the app. also.”
“Kenny’s Food Mart – A West Side Legend Kenny’s Food Mart isn’t just a store — it’s a cornerstone of the west side. The made-to-order food is flat-out awesome. Fresh, hot, and done right every time. No shortcuts. No nonsense. Just real food that hits the spot. This place feels like an old-school general store where the community gathers. It’s a staple. A tradition. The kind of spot people grow up with and never forget. When you walk in, it feels like home — like sitting at Grandma’s table with a plate made just for you. The service? Some of the kindest, most comforting people you’ll meet. They treat you like family, not a transaction. In a city full of noise, Kenny’s is a hidden gem. A must-try. Once you go, you’ll understand why it’s legendary on the west side.”
“This is a great shopping center because it has a little bit of everything. It also includes an emergency room Starbucks and so many different places to visit. This is definitely a One Stop Shop because it has everything you can possibly think of to include one of the best HEBs in town. And we definitely can't forget the Woof Gang dog spa....love this place.”
“Awesome farmers market! I love Sprouts and it never lets me down. Also the plant based options have increased again!?? So many choices of plant based foods and drinks. Highly recommend.”
“hidden GEM! i dont really come to this store and the store owners were very welcoming when i walked in with my buddy and we got chinese together and it was the best ive ever had in my entire life! i ate it so fast and i felt like i was levitating i would recommend going here every day, 11/10!”
“This place could be 5stars except for it's CONGESTED location. It's stuck between the busy street and curbside pickup. Not so easy to maneuver during peak busy times.”
“Hate em or love em. HEB is where you are going to spend your money. This store is very clean and people are friendly. It isn't very big. Actually it's probably one of the smaller HEBs in the city. It has more value items and caters to the demographic really well. Also if you need gas it also has a gas station on the property.”
“Go see Sonia and Melissa! They put love not only into the cakes but in their interactions with customers. Thank you again for making my cake shopping experiment one that I will remember!”
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.
