“Been coming here to gas up for 20 years.. store is always clean.. nice that in the parking lot is the ice machine.. makes it a one stop for the truck, boat and cooler..”
“I go to both locations depending on need and traffic. Their deli and products are the real deal and 10x better than H-Mart and Hokkaisan. (Not paid to say this, my taste bud have been heavily imprinted by Lawson Conbinis)”
“What an utter gem! Quality, well-curated products make shopping here a pleasure. It’s amazing the selection they have assembled in a relatively small space. Kudos to Raj, his beer-guru partner, and the staff for the informative and friendly service. I wish there were more shops like this in the world! So glad that I discovered this one.”
“This Trader Joe’s is a new location for me and I already love it! There’s so much more variety here compared to my old store, which makes shopping way more fun. Parking is easy and not stressful, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Definitely excited to start coming here more often! ?✨”
“I love Trader Joe's! From the flowers that receive you when you enter as to the staff who always have a smile and help you look for what you need. It's one of the most different supermarkets in austin, they have a unique and easy to prepare products, they have many healthy options especially in snacks and frozen meals, all vegetables and fruits are always fresh and you can get new and practical things for the day to day!”
“Always excellent employees they truly are part of the community of South Austin. Be sure to keep one checker lane open because that’s the way we build community. Ty”
“This store is unbelievable, I had no idea, so clean and organized, they didn’t have HEB’e, where I lived prior to this….I wouldn’t shop for groceries anywhere else, if I didn’t need the other items that Walmart offers, one -stop shop! Prices are better too Employees are friendly, you can actually find someone if you have a question, unlike the competitors!! Employees seem to be happy working there!!! There’s also ALWAYS A MGR. , (normally Justin, when I’m shopping) around to help and he makes sure after dark, that ppl are safe in the parking lot!!!! Highly recommend!!!!”
“I deliver propane to this establishment, and Cynthia is always happy to help me out, and it’s always pleasant to work with her. I hope other people appreciate her as much as I do.”
“They were very helpful. The only problem was the parking. The lot is really tiny and trying to get masa for Christmas tamales ? was an hour long wait to park.”
“Excellent selection of snacks, beers, drinks, and limited produce/merch. Enjoyed the nitro cold brew. Offered rebate for recycling milk containers, a great step towards sustainability.”
“This store always have a lot of the items that I need in stock, the customer service have gotten a lot better too, I now get offered samples, the staff is definitely more customer centric now, when I have questions, the staff is always willing to help, thank you for training your staff well, it definitely makes a difference! The times I needed to use the bathroom it always been spotless and stock on everything, good job management! Thank you.”
“Located in the car park of same store, my main complaint is that there is no control of direction of flow through the pumps so you get people approaching from many directions so it's a bit of a lottery who gets the pump next.”
“This is a small, but well-run Sprouts location. It has good produce, and a lot of healthier items that you would not find at HEB. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, though it is a bit understaffed at times. There is plenty of parking, and the store is rarely slammed with customers. I enjoy coming here for produce and healthy items.”
“Friendly staff . Variety products from around the globe. Clean. Fresh. Good managers and leaders. Crew at the front check out counter is really professional and ready to help. I love HEB”
“Love the snack and drink selection here! I finally tried their Indian food. I got the kofta korma w lamb and it's VERY GOOD. I don't love that it's so much rice and not as much of the korma but most places do that. Wish they were a bit friendlier but whatever, not the biggest deal. YUM”
“This the store to good to For the basic essentials.And may I add the selection of clothing, toys and gadgets Are something to take a look at and buy. And the main thing I go there if for a quick bite the breakfast and lunch plates,. tacos go hard than a motherf..r.”
“Raynard in the deli is an absolute asset to this store. I went in there looking for some lunch; I have a very strict diet as I have advanced liver disease, I'm telling you this man knew what he was talking about, and was the kindest gentleman. The salads he recommended were fresh and excellent!The world needs more Raynards. He made my month. Thank you, Raynard! You're the best!”
“Love this store the market has great affordable food! I get the noodle bowl and add my own protein at home if I take it to go and it’s enough for two people or one person and leftovers and their French fries are some of my favorite ☺️ also bought great vegan kimchi in yeh store while I waited for my order. So convierte always clean and very friendly staff”
“Gabbie at the desk for Western Union was AMAZING and super helpful. My mom needed help and she was incredibly kind and patient. We had so many issues on the app, and it was so much better in person. My mom is also going to tell the manager how helpful she was. We want her team to know what an amazing asset she is!”
“They have so many things in here. I love the fresh veggies they have. I always forget something from the store, but I can always find it here. The prices are pretty reasonable also.”
“This Randall's has become my new go to supermarket for its nice selection of useful household items like superglue, double stick tape, and elementary school paste. The butcher is the best and most savage meat cutter in the land and belongs in the flesh slicing hall of fame. He puts the "Fil" in Filet Mignon. The fruits and vegetables are always clean despite the number of unfortunate vagrants frequently seen perusing the pristine parking lot with only a few scraps of random garbage. This store stays on top of everything. The bread is succulent and squeezable with lengthy expiration dates, ensuring weeks before the bread becomes maggot infested an moody, or about the time you would donate it to a food drive. The people are top notch and kind and respectful. The manager is held in the highest regard and revered almost to a god-like status and he will answer every question and knows where everything is. The deli serves up the greatest Olive Loaf in Austin and the Randall's Mayonnaise is the fourth best among store made condiments. The day old on sale dough nuts are fantastic, and combined with a great big glass of lactose free Milk, you cannot go wrong in culinary pleasure! The parking lot has well painted lines which help the elderly and vision impaired drivers park without much incident. My one suggestion is for Randall's to sell outlets. If Randall's sold outlets, you guys could become an "Outlet" store, sure to bring throngs of customers into your store. Your paper sacks make great paper airplanes, as seen by two million viewers of Game-5 of this years World Series, which was delayed in the 4th inning while groundskeepers had to chase it down and discard the aerial bag with the Randall's name on it. I also highly recommend the Randall's Cat Litter. Even though I do not have a cat, I buy cat litter for the fun of it, and even own a sack of Albertsons original cat litter from 1977 that is autographed by Nolan Ryan. I can send pictures upon request. Anyway, long live Randall's! Ps...Who exactly IS Randall? Can he also be called "Randy"? One day I hope to meet him.”
“This is one of two gas stations that are located within walking distance of my job so I go here frequently. The Mexican candy selection here is top notch. If you want Chili coated watermelon candy... and who don't this is the place. They also have a great beer selection and lots of michelada fixins. The food trailer out front is bomb for sure. I've been eating there for over 10 years and get enough. Great store to stop in for snacks and beer.”
“The flagship – and it absolutely lives up to the legend! The original Whole Foods on N. Lamar is truly something special. This is where it all started and you can feel that history and energy the moment you walk in. The store is massive and incredibly well-organized – fresh produce, a huge bakery, hot bar with pizza, tacos, burritos, a salad bar, and even a wine bar inside the market. Indoor and outdoor seating, a covered parking garage with 90 minutes free, and a small playground outside. An experience every Austin visitor should have!”
“Adam Leo Amir Sadie the other young lady, are all so personable and family oriented. Once you're here a couple times you're a regular and they treat you as such! The selection is great they have a lil bit of everything even a lot of fresh produce. We love it here and their points program is great!”
“Stopped through there with friend's to go look at an RV for sale and the awesome people we bought it from took us over there for dinner. The bbq sandwich was really good , fresh juicy smoked meat. Definitely would drive through to eat there again.”
“We love this little store. Perfect for finding a last minute snack or some random condiment your husband forgot for dinner… they’re always so nice here. Also: the BLT is the bomb!”
“This HEB is a bit smaller than others. This building has probably been around for a number of years. That means that the aisels are narrower and the selection of items do not match what is typically found at other HEBs. Often on Saturdays they have many free samples and on special weekends they have live music! ?”
“They usually are on point but today the only problem I had was they gave me my cheese cake from the bakery with a ripped of sticker which just looks suspicious (it was half the sticker that just said pretty much heb)like I don’t know when it was made what it has in it when it expires etc”
“I have been here multiple times and it’s a great store. Everyone who works here is super nice and helpful. A lot less empty than HEB which is really nice when I need stuff but don’t wave deal with all the HEB madness (love HEB though don’t get me wrong). Always tons of parking in that parking lot”
“I love this little neighborhood store the have pizza fountain drinks and premade deli sandwiches all ttpes of oddds and ends like batteries perfume and tobacco pipes the beer is ice cold and the selection plentiful.”
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.
