“I was happy to see this market in an article from the Wasatch Record. I had driven past Coalville from the Wasatch back going to Wyoming or Idaho using the highways nearby but never stopped. Since the building no longer has the Neena’s Market sign above the doors, I was driving slowly and saw the sandwich board sign that lit my heart up warmly. “Tamales Today”. I parked right in front and walked in to see what felt like a time warp from my own life. Growing up in another state with rural roots, the local “Tiendita” was right here. The only thing missing was a Ms. PacMan machine in the corner but it was replaced by an ice cream cooler. I went to the back where the orders are placed, took my piece of paper up to the register and paid, then went back to sit down. I knew it was gonna be legit when the lady walked out with my food and didn’t try to check if I paid. She just left this plate of delicious tacos in front of me. I ordered 3 Carnitas tacos with the rice & beans. $11 is a good price and they were better than I expected. I didn’t have to ask for cilantro, onions, lime and salsa verde, it came on the dish already. The rice and beans were authentic and ready to be mixed together as I have always done since childhood. This place isn’t fancy. The flavors, sounds and memories took me back to a special place in my life. Don’t bring people who don’t know authentic Mexican food here. (These tacos don’t come with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes and sourcream). I’ll be back.”
“It's the most darling little old time mercantile grocery, clothing store. (IT'S LIKE GOING BACK IN TIME) They have a great selection of just about anything you might need. Absolutely love the place....”
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.
Kroger is spending $112 million to build two new stores and renovate 15 existing locations across central and northwest Ohio. The company calls it a "record-breaking" commitment to the region. The two new Kroger Marketplace stores will rise in Canal Winchester and Delaware, Ohio, each costing roughly $30 million to build. Kroger broke ground on the Canal Winchester location on March 19 at the southeast corner of Diley Road and Greengate Boulevard. The 118,000-square-foot store is expected to open in late fall 2026 and will create around 250 jobs.
Loblaw Companies Limited is putting serious money into its retail network this year. Canada's largest food and pharmacy retailer announced it will spend $2.4 billion in 2026 to open new stores, renovate existing locations and strengthen its supply chain.

On top of the new openings, Loblaw will renovate another 191 stores and continue construction on a roughly 1.2 million-square-foot automated distribution center in Caledon, Ontario.
