“The prices are fair, I would like to add that I feel like the opening hours are quite short, it would be nice if the place could be open longer hours, though I do understand if they do not have the personnel to do that at this moment. Speaking of which, Mr. Martinez is quite nice and very helpful when it comes to inquiries about prices and whether he has certain items in stock. The place also has parking which is a plus for many people, I would recommend for a very quick stop though I should add that there is not much variety considering the place is not to big.”
“Convenient but I do not like the fact that much of the merchandise does not have a price tag, that would make this place a lot better because I wouldn't have to keep asking the employees about the prices.”
“not only are their produce bags way studier than those of chain grocery stores, but their produce selection is also quite the delight. I'm particularly fond of their cilantro and celery. It's greener, and the price definitely compensates in it being more luscious. Limes are juicy. Perfect for fish marinades. Their loose carrots, I'm also quite fond of. It hits great if you're trying to achieve a french flavor base. Sautéed onions, celery and chopped carrot. I feel their produce is the one that has elevated my cooking the most. For everything else, prices can certainly be higher. But if you consider proximity as a factor, you could excuse an extra 20 cents on butter if it means saving on trips to a further away grocery store. Specific treasures I've found are these instant coffee packets with creamer and sugar already added. They're already quite quaint on their own, but having them with a twig of cinnamon really elevates them. Speaking of twigs, there are also these small cookie twigs with a flavored frosting dip on the side. À la nutella sticks, but way less sugary, while still packing substantial flavor. Sodas are also marginally cheaper than any other place nearby. + They also make key copies. Quite accurately, I must add. All in all, a really nice place.”
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.

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.
