“2015: Awesome! Vegan Ginger bread cookies, rolls, pizza; Owner Nancy waited on me personally, explaining ingredients making sure whatever i bought was "low-fodmaps", gluten and dairy free. Daniel also very knowlegable & helpful- great people, awesome product... Drive around back & see amazing artwork on the exterior walls and such. Highly recommend! *Update 2021, They made me a custom Gluten free Birthday Cake this year! It was amazing! Reasonable price & these folks are so genuinely kind... BEST CAKE EVER.”
“The warehouse employee responsible for shipping is a true professional. He works quickly and communicates politely. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Wishing you all the best and continued success!”
“The Brattleboro Food Co-op is not a grocery store—it’s a commons. Yes, it is expensive. And that truth deserves to be said plainly. But the cost reflects intention: locally curated goods, ethical sourcing, non-GMO standards, and a refusal to stock products that cut corners at the expense of human health or land. What you buy here is meant to nourish, not simply sell. The Co-op wears many hats at once. It is an apothecary, with multiple aisles devoted to tinctures, vitamins, herbal remedies, and supplements. It is a full grocery, stocked with Vermont-sourced meats, produce, grains, dairy, and flours worth baking with. It is also a prepared-foods destination—offering a working deli, made-to-order sandwiches, generous grab-and-go options, hot foods, pizza, rotisserie chicken, and fresh seafood handled with care. For those in a hurry, there are pre-made sandwiches—substantial, thoughtfully assembled, often on rye or sourdough—that don’t feel like an afterthought. Refrigerated cases nearby hold an ever-changing selection of drinks and curiosities: bottled teas, functional beverages, cold brews, juices, and the kind of oddities that reward curiosity rather than brand loyalty. And then there’s the whimsy. Ethically sourced hand and finger puppets hang from a tree like small emissaries of joy—playful, unnecessary, and somehow essential. It’s the kind of detail that reminds you this place is human before it is commercial. Membership is modest, paired with a small commitment to community service. What you spend here does not vanish into abstraction—it circulates back into the local economy, the growers, the makers, and the people who keep the doors open. I come here regularly—for kefir, flour, vegetables, supplements, and the simple assurance that what I’m eating will leave me feeling better, not dulled or depleted. Walking through the Brattleboro Food Co-op feels like stepping into its own ecosystem: intentional, alive, and quietly reassuring. You will spend more. You will also leave knowing exactly why. A genuine gift to the community.”
“I was having quite the morning with my cranky toddler and newborn. I called Hannaford grocery pick up line to ask if I could pickup my grocery order an hour early to avoid having to go home and then back out an hour later. The gentleman on the phone was super kind and understanding. He let me come right away for pick up. Thank you for the incredible customer service!!”
“The poor cashier's are clearly at the mercy of terrible management at a company that's so concerned with saving money it forgot that customers are unsettled when they're being served by ppl who are obviously exploited. Otherwise it’s better prices and enough variety to keep me coming back”
“Great store, has almost everything you can wan want! Except Creole seasoning! They are always clean, friendly, smiling people when I go in, I have never had a bad experience with anyone in this store! ❤”
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.

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.
