“Not much to add here. The products are great as everyone knows. The team working here are nice and friendly. It's a well maintained store. I would 100% shop here in the future”
“I love Trader Joe's but they should change their policy about not letting anyone through the doors after 8:59, especially since there are no stores open until 10p around here like there are in many other towns. When you need exactly 2 items and you know you'll be done way before all of the other shoppers who are allowed to finish at their leisure, it's irritating. I know, policies are policies but when did T. Joe's stop being the cool and laid back grocer?”
“I stopped in here out of curiosity and while I didn’t spend a whole lot of time in here I thought it was pretty cool. They have a lot of fairly interesting things, mostly snacks and drinks. Anyone who would have a 12 foot tall Home Depot Skeleton in a santa hat set up for Halloween is definitely my kinda people. I might come back some other time.”
“Product is good but aisles are too narrow so you always have to wait for somebody to pass until you can go forward. Always crowded too unless you go middle of the day on a weekday.”
“I've been looking for a good Halal meat and grocery store. This store is one of the best I've come across. The guys that work there are nice and accommodating. They communicate to make sure your order is correct. I'll definitely be returning to get my meats.”
“Wide selection of groceries and great environment. Not to mention good location. Not exactly ideal for quick in and out shopping because it is a very big store but i love this place. The bakery is my favorite part because of all the fresh bread they produce. I recommend checking out the cakes and pastries because those fruit tarts are to die for!”
“It is busy but the line moves quickly. The vegetables are all very fresh and the wine is inexpensive. They use to have some called two buck chuck but now it is probably 3 something.”
“Love Trader Joe’s. Always a great grocery store. The staff are incredibly helpful and courteous. Food quality is always top notch. We always get some of the Orange Chicken and Beef with Broccoli frozen meals. The ice cream sandwiches are a big hit too. Flower selection is huge and quality is excellent. The parking lot for this location is a bit over-crowded, but the effort is worth it for TJ’s.”
“The gift shop in the front of the store has a lot of cute items and knick knacks like stuffies, keychains, and stationary. There's a photobooth and vending machines by the registers. We enjoy the freshly prepared food options located in the very back of the store. It's a hidden gem with a casual vibe. Try the Spicy Galbitang if you enjoy spicy soups. I like gimbap too. You will find a great selection of fresh fruit, vegetables, meats, seasonings, noodles, and snacks galore. Asian markets are the best. This H Mart location is usually kept well stocked and clean. Employees have always been very kind and willing to help. Prices are reasonable. Sometimes they offer samples. Parking is convenient too. It's down the street from Burke Nursery.”
“Service was impeccable! And the food is always fresh. Anytime I want to get some sweet treats, this is where I go!! They have the actual best halal food and I’m not j saying that. 10/10 would def recommend”
“A lot of selections of dishes every Sat. Great food. Fun and friendly place. Owner is very nice and helpful. She has connections, so she can make some calls and, mostly, get what you want in a matter of day. I wish they had dishes more than just Sat. Go early, thought, these dishes go fast. They have good food vendors / cooks. No worries if you buy a lot of stuff, they will help carry to your car.”
“Honestly Halal Grand Mart is the best Halal shop in virginia. The quality of the products is excellent, and they have a massive selection. The staff is super welcoming and helpful. It was my first time visiting, but I’m already hooked. I highly recommend to my all friends.”
“Fantastic food, the flavors had something that added a tanginess, which I haven't tasted at the restaurants in Silver Spring. Highly recommend and for me, worth a drive from MD!”
“I really like the seasoning section and the produce section at Trader Joe’s. They have so many unique and good products that I don't usually see at other grocery stores. I always find something interesting to try. The only sad thing is that I live pretty far away, so I can't come here very often. I wish there was a Trader Joe’s closer to me!”
“Professional, friendly staff. Natural, NO preservative/hormone, the only FRESH meat in town. Daily cuts and customization of order. Don’t go anywhere else, and if you are, go to the Chantilly location, its just as good.”
“They always have what I need! Great customer service, always helpful and knowledgeable of the products! I've been going here for years and I don't plan on changing! Love this store!”
“Love, love, LOVE Trace! It has soooooo many products for refill, from grocery dry good, to spices, cleaning supplies, and even bath & body products. It’s so nice to be able to get this stuff without the extra packaging and get exactly how much I need. Plus it has so many other amazing eco-friendly items! And the owner, Mala, is so nice and helpful. This is an awesome place in the DC area, and everyone should check it out!”
“Hala Bazar is one of the best grocery stores! Everything is clean, fresh, and well organized. The produce, meat, and kids’ snacks are always so fresh. They have a huge selection of international groceries, and the staff is amazing—friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Highly recommend for quality, variety, and excellent service”
“No complaints... Aldi is the no-frills, minimum investment for highest yield grocery store A lot of random, one shipment only finds... Housewares include pots, pans, silverware, glassware, mugs, coffee station supplies, bakeware and baking supplies Also gardening tools and supplies... seriously! They have indoor and outdoor furniture and even plants, flowers, herbs in pots and bouquet flowers! They have greeting cards for holidays and special events U can almost always find organization gadgets and items They have some supplies for vehicles They have pet toys, gadgets and supplies This truly is 1 of the most random store I've seen! All stores don't have same inventory; some have larger selections BUT a lot of stuff is low quality soooo choose wisely! But it's best 2 shop within first week or so, when items come in season because employees say they can't order additional inventory AND their systems are so antiquated that data isn't accurate... systems may show amount in stock but store may be sold out! ☆☆☆ READ FOOD LABELS ☆☆☆ A LOT of items have genetically modified ingredients! Also bio-engineered ingredients!!!”
“This place is packed with options! The case lot sales spill onto the sidewalk and provide steep discounts (with tax free benefit). The cashiers are friendly and the store is clean. I did see a short female employee walking around with a “thuglife” t shirt on though, interesting they don’t have a basic standard acceptable outfit policy for employees.”
“Great wine shop in Arlington with a fantastic selection of wine and cheese. The staff is always kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Definitely a great local spot for finding a good bottle or trying something new.”
“Good variety of African products and well priced. Service was good too. No long lines. Not too much unnecessary chatting, in and out.The parking lot is hard to maneuver, lots of other shops, lots of cars. Tight spaces”
“One of my favorite grocery stores in NOVA. They always have fresh produce, meats, dairy products, etc.they unfortunately do not have the largest inventory, due to their small size, but everything is always stocked, organized, and accessable. The staff is very helpful and accommodating.”
“Fresh Afghan cookies, fresh baked bread at certain hours, good price dry fruit, fresh meat, even in winter dry meat, bread selection, different spices selection, tons of frozen food, cookery and vegetables. Kinda complete shop for every day and good customer service so far.”
““Excellent service! Even during busy hours, they take great care of their customers and make sure everyone is well attended to. Truly impressive customer service.””
“Great meat products, and a solid value for the price. Baked goods are also fresh and yummy. Many Turkish grocery staples at decent prices and not easy to find elsewhere. A few things are on the pricy side, but not most.”
“Fairway Supermarket in Woodbridge is an absolute hidden gem! This small, locally owned family grocery store offers an incredible variety of products from across the Indian subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives). All at fantastic prices. The people who run this store are so wonderfully kind, helpful, and personable. Every visit feels warm and welcoming. Thank you for the incredible Pakistani mango - one of the sweetest, freshest mangos I’ve ever tasted! This truly is a lovely family, and it shows in the way they treat their customers. The selection here is amazing and so unique: - Healthy, natural dried foods and snacks: I always find something new, and there are staple items I can only get here. They have several aisles of fun, interesting, and wholesome snack products that you just don’t see at chain grocery stores. - Huge spice section: So many unique spices, available in large bags for excellent prices. - Vegan and allergy-friendly options: Plenty to choose from, which I really appreciate. - Essential oils, beauty supplies, and even beautiful scarves: Small touches that make browsing fun. - Frozen dinners and snacks: Including some items I can’t find anywhere else. - Fresh butcher in the back: Lamb and goat at incredible prices, perfect for authentic cooking. I believe they have other types of meat, including fish, as well. - Fresh produce: Small but thoughtful selection of fruits and veggies, plus fresh dates and baked sweets. Much, if not most, of their products appear to be halal, which is really helpful for those who need it. And while they specialize in subcontinental products, they also carry universal basics, so you can pick up everyday items at the same time. Every trip to Fairway feels like traveling to another country. I make it a point to try something new every time I go. This store is such a gift to the community. Let’s support this wonderful family and keep this beautiful local market thriving.”
“If I’m not getting my groceries from the Farmers Market I’m going to Moms. They have a sizable vegan friendly selection of products. Can be a little expensive but all of their produce and dry goods are reasonably priced. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-16”
“Very friendly service and great selection of Argentinean meat cuts. Also you can find a good selection of deserts and candy from south and central america, love this place”
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.
