“Valley Market has become one of my favorite stops whenever I'm in Eden. It's not a giant grocery store, but that's part of the charm. They somehow manage to pack a surprising variety of products into a relatively small space, and I've found everything from everyday groceries to last-minute items I didn't expect them to carry. The store is always clean, organized, and easy to navigate, which makes getting in and out quick and painless. What really stands out is the people. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. There's a small-town feel here that's getting harder and harder to find these days. Whether you're a local or just visiting the valley for the weekend, it's the kind of place where you're greeted with a smile and treated like a regular. The deli and fresh food options are also worth checking out if you're looking for something quick without having to drive into town. Valley Market does a great job serving the community, and it's one of those businesses I'm happy to support whenever I can.”
“My sister and I have been ordering our birthday cakes here for years. Their cake designer is PHENOMENAL and we receive compliments on our cakes every time! I just tell them the theme and they do their thing! I’m not creative, and trust them to make it cute! It’s about a 20 minute drive for me and worth it. They won’t disappoint! Update: I wanted to add another cake we ordered over the weekend! I requested Dragon Ball Z and said Just do your thing! Amazing! It only cracked cuz my husband put it in the fridge and wasn’t supposed to. I will always order here!”
“Good neighborhood store with all types of food you need, also has pharmacy and a zone for bathroom/kitchen. Large parking lot and self checkout stations included.”
“There are great deals on produce and things for sale I’ve never heard of or seen. I got small avocados 5 for $1. Mangoes 3 for $1. They have a machine that will peel, core and slice your pineapple after you buy it. There’s all sorts of Mexican cheese. I bought red kiwis that are so pretty and exotic looking. But watch the prices. They were marked $4.99 and rung up at $6.99. They fixed it and took down the sign. Some were overripe. So some tradeoffs but to me worth it with the price of food. Sometimes I can’t figure out prices. Either this aren’t marked or like the salsa that has a name on the label but the handwritten sign with the list of prices has different Spanish words that don’t match up. So I’m not sure what price goes to which product. They’ve got churros for $2 for 3, haven’t tried them yet. Also the tamales in the warmer. It’s like Ocean Mart, so many things I don’t know if I’d like. I wish there was a class or samples because I want to learn. I wish I spoke more Spanish!”
“I love DG. Please build one in Evanston Wyoming. I just relocated from Wales,MI and they are every 3 to 5 miles there. Come on Corporate help an Old Lady out, TY,Rita Dickinson.”
“Great place, I purchase gas and other store items at least once a week here. Friendly staff, and they have the coldest drinks out of any convenience stores that I have ever been to. And that is the part I like the most! Keep those coolers ice cold just like you do!!”
“We shop here every week and it’s always great. The past couple of times I’ve gone, Vicky in the self checkout section has helped me and she is just the sweetest person ever. Truly sunshine incarnate. She deserves a raise and all the happiness in the world♥”
“I've had nothing but perfect experiences here. They are fast, efficient, and I've never had to deal with insurance shenanigans when purchasing from here.”
“I like this store it's clean and smaller so it's not so busy, the quality of food is good, but prices are a little higher. Employees are nice, i am getting sick of the maps nazis however.”
“I’ve been going to this C Store for years. I’ve seen the turnover of employees there. I just wanted to say that Eda ( I believe that’s her name) is such a GREAT employee. You have a true gem with her! She ALWAYS greets me with a smile and is friendly. Hopefully her attitude will rub off on other employees. This girl deserves a raise!!”
“I just left from picking up my prescription refill. While I was there, a pharmacy tech named Evelyn took the time to find a discount card for my prescription. She ended up saving me almost $20. That is great customer service and is a perfect example of someone going the extra mile for the customer. In general this place has been good to my family & I, but I had to take the time to write this review after leaving today. Thank you Evelyn!”
“Great experience for refueling. Why would you go anywhere else for gas? Offers some level of customer service compared to other stations. Tied to your grocery shopping for good deals. More convenient.”
“It’s not everyday that we as consumers take a moment to appreciate and acknowledge the normal humans that are just like us. Customer service isn’t the easiest field to work in because they live by the “customer is always right” mentality and at times some of us customers aren’t nice people. Today I was in the store for some assistance from the bakery department. I had the best experience not just as a customer but as a regular human being. This group of women were kind, friendly and supportive. We laughed and got to learn a little bit about each other in just a short time. Kindness is so needed in the world everyday. I was with my daughter and we just talked about how much we enjoyed the experience with the bakery team. I had to bring it to management because again, they were just doing their job but made a big difference while doing so. They made us laugh and smile and for that i greatly appreciate it!! I hope their favorite drink is always cold in the refrigerator waiting on them after a long day of work!!”
“I love coming into Smith's and seeing the employees smile and having a good time. It puts me in a happy mood after a long day at work. Keep up the great work everyone! Don't let anyone dim your light.”
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.
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.
