“Friendly, polite, and thankful people! It was a great pleasure to stop in. It had a at home kind of feeling there like a good old country store should be. They do cook some food and they have steamed hot dogs around lunchtime. The chili on the dogs was good too! They do have gasoline available too. This place is definitely worth visiting and grabbing something on the go before the old Mom and Pop country stores are all gone. I will be back!”
“My go to stop love the workers in there they're always so nice and friendly! The only flaws sometimes the prices don't ring up as what they were on the shelfs! Not to worry the workers are always happy to fix it if it happens! But it can still snipe you sometimes if you're Unaware”
“Friendly staff. Baggers are wonderful - Young and Loy! All staff very willing to help find something you are looking for. Great selections - best Deli and produce. Love the black grapes! Great meat selections and frozen foods. Love the green and red peppers. Try the deviled egg potato salad. Yum, Yum! Wondèrful meat selections; london broil roast and delicious pork chops. Prices are the best at the Commissary when you do a comparison price check with other local stores. The Commissary is my grocery store where I shop each week.”
“I was pleasantly surprised when I went in the Dollar General in Waverly and Disputants on Friday. Both stores were clean and organized. Could be because of new resets but I noticed a few different employees. They seemed to care for how their store looked. BIG, HUGE difference in attitude. Hope they can continue to keep it up to prove it didn't tidy up only for reset.Like the quick self checkout in Disputanta too!It's nice to see they're taking pride in their work and have fresh attitudes.Thanks so much now if the community can help with keeping it organized! Put item back where it belongs if you decide not to buy it ..don't be lazy.....do unto others as you'd want them to do for you.”
“I am at this Food Lion OFTEN for pick up orders - for work and for home. The shoppers/runners for pick-up orders have been great. Friendly, quick with a couple of exceptions, and they get me on my way in a reasonable amount of time. If there is an issue at pick-up and I have to call or go IN the store, that is another matter. The phone/internet system in the store apparently has been messed up for years and continues to be so. Calls to the store about your pick-up when you've been waiting an extended amount of time go unanswered, the extension for the pick-up says it's not in service and try again. Customer service will claim you either didn't call because the phone didn't ring or blame it on the phones not working. Internet prevents you from communicating directly with the pick-up people. If you know your store has issues, please fix it. *NOTE: I have not interacted with ALL customer service at this store, only two, and I had the same experience with both, so my review is specifically in regards to those interactions and does not reflect on anyone else that may work there in that capacity. Otherwise, selection is good, cashiers, pick-up people, even delivery orders, I'd give good marks!”
“Similar to other Dollar Generals there are usually things in the aisles, and the aisles are not super wide. However friendly employees and I can usually locate what I went in to get.”
“There is really only 1 reason in my opinion to stop off at Salem Bros. and that's their AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS food they make. They have always made the best food there. Every other reason to stop once I smell their food leaves my brain. :)”
“The Best!!!!!we got food for our super bowl party not only did they come in on Sunday to cook it but made sure it was hot and fresh.The price was great as well. Couldn't have asked for anything else. Thank you once again for everything. You got to try the food!!!!”
“I had the best experience this morning with the lovely lady making the in-store sushi…her warm, real, excellent customer service in addition to providing fresh as-ordered sushi while I shopped the store was so refreshing given the lack of happy-minded people which I tend to encounter at most retail stores these days…I will absolutely return today at lunchtime for a second sushi order! I have eaten sushi from a few local restaurants and none come close to the quality, freshness, and tastiness of the sushi prepared at the Hopewell, VA Food Lion location. One bad experience will forever scar the image I retain on a place and/or person but a great experience (and this is not my first excellent interaction with this lovely lady; I just now decided to share…) makes me want to tell everyone! Thank you ma’am for making my morning brighter and way tastier too! ? REVIEW #2 Saturday, 4:11/2026 As usual, the lady preparing the sushi is welcoming and accommodating; she made a special order of sushi for my specific wants…tuna and avocado roll made fresh…absolutely delicious! As I said before, I’ve had sushi from a couple area Japanese restaurants and not one comes close to the quality and overall taste of the sushi prepared at the Hopewell Food Lion. Kudos! Thank you for making me Saturday night delicious! ???”
“This is THE BEST Dollar General because, well, it's only 3 miles from my house, and they have EVERYTHING! Also the employees are extremely friendly and helpful!”
“7-Eleven is a convenience store gas station. They have good prices on cigarettes and snacks. They sell a little bit of everything. I frequent this 7-Eleven about twice a week. This is a very clean store and the employees are very friendly. The prices are very reasonable. It is in a convenient location. I highly recommend the 7-Eleven.”
“I live down the road from here, so I go here pretty frequently. They have two self-checkout kiosks which I use all the time because this location is very understaffed and they're constantly firing and hiring employees. I rarely see the same person working here for long. The store is pretty easy to navigate, and employees will usually help you if you have any questions, but because of how inconsistent this place is, your experience could be different. It's a good place to get snacks and supplies and there's a gas station right beside it as well, so it makes for a great stop off of I-95.”
“I was sick and was in line (rubbing my chest) and a worker asked if l was okey. (I’m a nurse) And was very impressed that she noticed me and inquired about whether was alright.”
“I especially like the dollar isle, this has so many amazing dollar items, best of all you can get a $5 coupon for Saturdays if you spend $25 or more they take off the coupon. Alot of bang for the buck ??”
“Wow Monday morning is the best time to shop! And all associates were really helpful and so very nice! Coming from FL the store set up was a little different ,but with the associates help, I was able to find everything I needed!”
“This store is very clean, neat and convenient. Employees are helpful and friendly. I really enjoy the grocery items like fresh meats and frozen foods as well as the usual hygiene& household items. I'm so grateful for this addition to the neighborhood.”

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.
