“By far the best Dollar General! Store is always clean and fully stocked! Never a mess on the sales floor like other locations. These ladies are always working hard when I come in .. the store manager goes above and beyond for the customers to make sure we leave happy. I truly appreciate them for their great customer service!!”
“I almost don't want to leave a review because I don't want people to know about this gem. They have really great meats all cut and done in house. The prices are so amazing. I hate buying meat anywhere else. They usually have some really good produce too but I try to not buy as much until the summer season when it is the best selection and prices but I did get a great deal on some produce they had yesterday. Everyone is always so friendly and customer service is top notch. They will cut meat to order too, so of you jave a specific thing tou are lookong for and can't find it, just ask! I keep coming back for a reason! They have other locations too, this one is just closer to me.”
“Temporarily closed, due to a horrible and untimely fire that destroyed the building, Tucker's, though out of commission for now, has finally begun the rebuild. Hopefully, they will be back up and running within the next 6 months. The fire was several months ago. The community was devastated for the business and empathetic for the owners, since we lost a convenient location for many of our necessities. Stay hopeful for the soon return of a beloved country store, that's been occupied for over half a century.”
“This food line was very clean and easy to navigate.I got food lion brand cookie ice cream and they were very generous with the portions,I highly recommend Coming here!”
“Now solely a tobacco and vape shop, the newly renovated Joy has been around for years, lots of choices in Kratom, tobacco pipes and accessories and incense. Get some gas and something cold to drink, plus a few snacks, even play your winning lottery numbers or scratch a few...and enjoy the pleasant staff at an old hometown favorite.”
“I like this food lion. Its smaller than what I am used to, but nice. Its nice because you have amazing staff. I had great interaction with the Pepsi vendor and a worker stocking meat (Peter) I think. Hes new and was really kind and helpful.”
“Dollar General has been improving all the locations. If Wawa and the home section of Walmart had a baby, this location would be it. The store is really trying to be more than just a place to grab chips and soda. I prefer the location by Smith Mt Lake Parkway (bigger store). This location is small and the aisles get cramped when new inventory is being put away. The store is near Food Lion and a tint strip mall. The employees are always friendly.”
“Met Subash the owner of the store while going on the highway. Such an amazing person. Coincidentally it was the store 2nd anniversary and Subash gave complimentary free food for anyone who visits the store. Yes, you heard it right, for everyone. The gas rates were also cheaper than any other station in the area. I highly recommend this place”
“Awesome store! The staff is always friendly and helpful. I was excited to see that they now carry an awesome selection of those LIFE brand CBD and Delta 8 products everyone loves! What more could you ask for!”
“Very convenient location where you do not have to drive all the way to Altavista or Lynchburg. There are friendly and polite employees. Their service is pretty quick as well and organized”
“This is my favorite Walmart to go to and I have been to plenty of them. They have a wider selection of things by far. And I have never had bad service here! This is the place I go mostly unless I am just not in the area.”
“Probably the nicest bunch of complete strangers that I've ever encountered. Southern hospitality isn't dead - it resides at Kelley's. I was traveling home from NJ with my 3 daughters (girl's trip!) when my 2 year old started screaming "I WANT OUT!" which was immediately followed by my 6 year old proclaiming that the baby had "pooped and it stinks bad." So here I am scanning the places to stop when I see Kelley's and think "looks clean enough." We came through the door with the force of an overtired wildebeest and must have looked noticeably confused when the voice of an angel said "Are you looking for the bathroomh? It's right over here." And she smiled. Man, what a difference from the shopkeepers in Jersey who cut their eyes at you and begin to assemble the assault rifle under the register all because you reached a little too quickly for that pack of spearmint Extra. The ladies room was surprisingly chic, charming and CLEAN! It is a masterpiece that I will think about while I hang up the old shredded towels on my racks that are hanging out of the wall from when a previous version of my 10 year old son declared himself a monkey. I am a purveyor of supporting mom and pop establishments so when I saw the lunch counter I was overjoyed. The fare is standard American (hot dogs, burgers, egg salad, etc.) and the prices are nostalgically low. The lady behind the counter was super sweet and accommodating and helped me with seating my girls who were acting very silly after the long car ride. She served our food which was delicious (I recommend the sausage dog. Tasty and HUGE!). When it was time to go the lunch counter lady (God, I wish I had gotten her name) helped me out to the car with our drinks. My kids took to her immediately. While I strapped in my youngest she strapped in my toddler. Talk about service! It's these little things that make you remember a place and want to return. Kelley's is a diamond in the rough and has impressed me very much. It has earned a permanent spot on my GPS and will be patronized whenever I head up north. I only wish it were closer so I could give them more business. My husband thinks I've lost it because I walked in the door talking about how I enjoyed my visit with the people of Kelley's. They actually lightened my load if only for a hour and improved this tired mom's day.”
“It seems like when everybody else is out of stuff this Dollar General Store seems to have it most of the time weather is toilet paper or tuna fish there's a lot of variety and the store is always clean and the service representatives are usually friendly and always helpful”
“Mr and Mrs Patel are very friendly. And genuinely good people. Prices are reasonable and competitive with any convenience store. Store and bathrooms are always clean!”
“Man, ive been to many dollar general but this place is one of the nicest one. Wider selection of food and refrigeration as well. So definitely will come back to shop here in the near future.”
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. 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.
