“Great place for shopping for different products from different countries and still filling great at home in USA. I can find anything I want to be able to cook foods from Azerbaijan kitchen and taste it. Prices are affordable too. Love my brothers there. BarakaAllahu feikhoum”
“Mr Khan and Alex go above and beyond....professionalism and an in depth knowledge in their craft....for all your service needs, they are there providing 1st class service!”
“Sunday 2:00p.m. June 7th. This place has very good schwarma and their cheesecake is out of this world. Reasonable prices and cheaper and better than Cheescake factory. But the true shot out goes to the ladies who carve and serve the schwarma. They are very patient and reassuring. They are very informative and generous. I would strongly prompt anyone to give this place a try while in downtown Houston for the summer.”
“I recently visited Trader Joe's, and it’s easily the best grocery store experience I've had. What sets them apart is the incredible quality and variety of their private-label products. Whether it's their unique frozen food selection or their famous seasonings, everything feels curated and high-quality for such an affordable price. The staff is always super welcoming, and the store is well-organized. If you’re looking for high-value items that you can't find elsewhere, Trader Joe's is the place to go. Highly recommended!”
“100 percent. guy had a replace battery for my really old, really glitchy, 2016 iphone SE when my battery swelled and displaced the screen. He even added in an extra missing screw on the “home” button for my extra old phone at no extra charge. I told him I was happy to pay for an extra part as needed, because this is business, and that is how it goes, and I am capitalist, absolutely. One hundred percent recommend his services! Foodtown 529 and hw6 NW Houston, inside the store. Do go to him for your phone repair needs if you are in the area of that area. I went to him because of his other good reviews online and also because the other one i went to went out of business so i had to find a new one. Much much recommend. And much appreciated, sir!”
“The Trader Joe's on Westheimer is hands down my favorite location. It's a bit of a drive from home, but it's absolutely worth it because their inventory is so much better than the stores near my work. Whether I'm stopping by for their popular seasonal tote bags or stocking up on the ultra rich body wash oil dupe, they almost always have plenty in stock. The store is well-organized, well-stocked, and shopping here is always a better experience. If you're looking for the best selection, this location is definitely worth the extra drive.”
“I’ve lived in Houston and this neighborhood for 13 years and for some reason I only discovered this store about 5 months ago. I am obsessed now. The best store ever!”
“Wonderful service. Fix my phone in 10 minutes. And gave a free screen protector. Always coming to this store.. and highly recommend. Best store and staff. More than 5 star rating. Thank you again.”
“The store is convenient for my weekly grocery selection's. Before I discovered this store, I would shop at weekend only Urban markets or drive to meat and egg vendor’s outside of Houston. Central City Co-Op has a great selection of those vendors and more!!! The store offers a good selection of wines. Customer service is warm and friendly. I have always had a great experience while shopping. I am very happy to support local farmers and prepared food vendors. This is a Great Store for Houston, Texas !!!”
“Excellent place 👌 I had an old phone ☎ and wanted to fix the screen the teach recommend to get a new phone 📱 and he hook me up and put everything from old to new”
“Some days the city tells you exactly where you need to be. Today was one of those days. It was a beautiful Houston afternoon, and I found myself on the west side of the city craving nothing more than a good cup of coffee, a quiet place to read, write, and work through a few marketing emails. Somehow that journey led me to the coffee bar inside Central Market, and I’m so glad it did. There is something special about this place. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by the rhythm of Houston. Families shopping together, neighbors catching up, people grabbing lunch, and everyone moving with purpose. Sitting at the coffee bar allowed me to experience all of it while still finding a peaceful corner to settle into my work. It was the perfect balance between community and solitude. I have to give a heartfelt shout out to the incredible baristas who made my visit unforgettable. Evelyn, Jess, Miguel, and Sherwin welcomed me with genuine smiles and the kind of hospitality that cannot be taught. They made me feel less like a customer and more like a familiar face. Their energy was warm, joyful, and authentic, and you could tell they genuinely enjoy serving people. I ordered a double shot espresso made with KATZ Coffee, one of Houston’s finest coffee roasters, and it was exactly what I needed. Rich, smooth, and full of flavor. While I enjoyed my coffee, I had the pleasure of watching the team prepare drinks for everyone who came through the line. From handcrafted coffees to fresh smoothies, every order was made with care, precision, and a smile. It was a beautiful reminder that excellence often lives in the smallest everyday moments. To Evelyn, Jess, Miguel, and Sherwin, thank you for filling my cup today, literally and figuratively. I hope this review pours a little encouragement back into yours. And to my fellow Houstonians and anyone visiting our beautiful city, do yourself a favor and stop by the Central Market coffee bar. Come for the coffee, stay for the people, and leave reminded that great hospitality is still alive and well in Houston. Five stars across the board.”
“It's always clean and organized. The ladies there are always nice and make sure you take everything you need! I've been to a couple of different places around town and THIS ONE BY FAR. IS THE BEST!”

“Oh!! My!! What wonderful African items and ingredients they have here. I will travel from afar to buy some things here b/c it’s way cheaper than to pay for the shipping of the goods myself.”

“So awesome to see genuine Peruvian products. Great customer service. The owner can make special orders if needed. Fair prices for a small business who has to import directly.”
“The store is very clean and well organized. The staff member was very helpful I was looking for a certain spice for a new recipe. This was my third Halal Market today. The first two were filthy. Al Karma will be my go-to store from now on.”
“Aldi is a little bazar. Sometimes you find good quality food at great prices. But it’s mixed in with a lot of low quality food at low prices. Sometimes good quality that is a little pricy. Bring your own bags! Or use their box’s.”
“I was excited to get back. But, I was overcharged for 2 Almond dark chocolate bars I didn’t take. Melissa the cashier probably made a mistake, over counting. *7239. 478/066/001/029. 12-22-25: 12:24 pm. Thanks”
“I have been looking for Israeli grocery store and google never gave me this option I found out about it from one of my favorite store down the street and Harova did not disappoint. It looks like they are still moving in and I live across town so I will be stopping by when I am in the area.”
“I witnessed the owner/ guy on the the counter being generous towards a customer (which is a rare sight to behold at such troubled times) and thought of awarding them a 5 star review since they very much deserved it in my eyes! Such people need acknowledgment!”
“Al Aqsa Grocery is a great neighborhood store with a good selection of Middle Eastern and international products. The store is generally well organized, and you can find fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, and essential groceries at reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they are usually willing to assist if you need something specific. It’s a convenient place for quick shopping, especially if you’re looking for halal or specialty items that are not always available in regular supermarkets. Parking is usually easy, and the service is fairly quick. Overall, a solid grocery store for everyday needs and specialty foods.”
“Absolutely love coming here. Whenever I e are able to make it out here, we always find what we are looking for. More so, the owner is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. He always helps us when we have heavy purchases. Giving him a great 10/10 because it is much deserved.”

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.
