“Publix is always a wonderful place to shop! The store is clean, well-organized, and the staff are friendly and helpful. There’s a great selection of fresh produce, quality products, and everything is easy to find. I especially appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and excellent customer service. It’s always a pleasant shopping experience, and I’m happy to keep coming back!”
“I love this little market! They are so friendly and helpful. They sell all kinds of stuff and antiques as well! They have a butcher on site and it's just one of those places you can't find much anymore. Definitely one of my favorite places!”
“Great selection of fresh fruits and groceries, with excellent service. The store is clean, spacious, and easy to shop in. There’s also a large parking lot, which makes parking very convenient. Best of all, there was no wait at checkout!”
“Please let corporate know these sign are misleading especially when you have different versions that have different pricing. The public doesn’t want their time wasted time for new signage . I give the chicken strips a 7.”
“I drive from Palmyra to Short Pump to go to Tom Leonard's Farmers Market. It's so worth the drive. We always find fresh produce and other items to bring home, like baked goods and fresh meats and seafood.”
“This location has a fierce selection of products. Each aisle is neat and has the proper width allowing for comfortable cart passing. The cashiers are nice, I don’t need a fake conversation just an efficient check out process. I would love to know more about the origin of the name “Food Lion”. It’s a bold and wild name for a grocery store…but it works!”
“Recently reopened, and the store looks great!!! I decided to order some food after walking by the snack bar and smelling the food that the cook was fixing up, and it was REALLY good! the guy cooking the food was super friendly, as was the rest of the staff! I look forward to coming again to try other items on the menu!”
“Maharaja Indian grocery store is the best place to go for all your needs, offering a wide variety of authentic products under one roof. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. They also offer fresh meat options like chicken and goat, making it a convenient one-stop shop for everything Indian cooking requires.”
“I enjoy shopping at this Dollar General location. The store has a good selection of everyday essentials at reasonable prices, and I can usually find what I need. The staff there that day was friendly and helpful, and my overall shopping experiences here have been positive.”
“I was in a couple of weeks ago on a friday evening to pickup a pizza order. When i arrived i checked in on my order, it hadn't been started yet, which as i watched and observed I understood why. The young man, Jayson, working was on deck for the deli counter area, and pizzas, and was solo working this area. I watched Jayson move non-stop, never making any customer feel like the were an interruption to him making pizzas, or giving off frustration for feeling frazzled by having his hands in multiple departments. I later learned that WF was understaffed that day. I was SO SO impressed with Jayson's level of control and work ethic. It would've been easy to be ticked off or annoyed and push that onto to customer and he didn't. I did tell him and the managers there that this young man needs a raise and don't let him go. These are the type of hard working and amazing people that make a business successful. JAYSON, you're awesome and you are going to amazing things if you keep that drive, work ethic, emotional control, and poise. Keep it up. WHOLE FOODS. Recognize great staff when its pointed out. Protect those people and help them thrive!!”
“Every time I have a soccer tournament in the Glen Allen area I stop in for Lucozade and they never disappoint. The owner is a kind family man and I always appreciate our chats. The store is clean and well organized, they take good care of me and my English friend every time we com in.”
“I'm biased to like this chain of pharmacies, but I genuinely do prefer it over the other chain I used to use even though I have to drive further to reach them. The pharmacy staff is very friendly, quick, and helpful! Claire was very considerate and was eager to help me get the information I needed for my medicine and even called me to update me so I wouldn't have to worry about calling back again! Just know that the pharmacy closes from 2:30pm to 3pm for break, which isn't reflected in the hours shown on Google.”
“Loved how meticulous Mariam in the deli was. She was just coming on shift I believe, and thank goodness! She went right in replenishing items and discarding old ones Where as the other 3 employees lacked the same concern. (example, tomatoes had 2 slices in the bin, lettuce was extremely low, 2 leaves of spinach, and old chicken tenders).. Just passing through NC but if I ever stop again hope she's there. Also this is a very huge, clean and well stocked Publix.. Loved the gentleman Barista at Starbucks as well. He was very friendly and professional!!! Nice!!!”
“Coming off lackluster to poor experiences with the dominate ‘chains’, my experience with Publix since the switch reminds of ‘the good old days’ when pharmacies cared about the people they served. Friendly and willing/wanting to help, the staff here and the other Publix pharmacies I have dealt with are great. Would highly recommend.”
“Great gas prices. Nearby to local shopping center, neighborhood, offices, and schools. Offers a full range of snacks and some hot and cold foods. Some grocery items are available. ABC off. Lottery tickets sold here. There's a dry cleaners next door.”
“Delicious middle eastern groceries at excellent prices! In particular, they have a great selection of specialty flours (including several gluten free flours such as millet & soy), pulses, olives, and sardines. And of course, their spice selection is incredible.”
“We were passing by and went there after hearing so many good things. They were offering only a couple of items, to our disappointment. We ordered biryani and chicken curry after they said tehari was not available. They quickly prepared the food, and the food pickup went well. The biryani was okay, but the curry was really good!”
“I like this Walmart, I came in here to get some lunch. I am obsessed with their ranch wings and it's located 5 minutes from my work. The lady at the hot food counter was absolutely the sweetest. The wings were hot and fresh, she even give me an extra one.”
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.
