“This is a gem. Daily fresh strawberries and raspberries in season. The meat counter has a great selection from taco meat, seasoned chicken thighs, and a fajitas mix. Fresh made tortillas on the weekends are delicious. An absolute must stop.”
“The Deli so far has been great and I've really enjoyed the variety of salad options. The Mediterranean salad was low and they made a whole new tray for me, really fresh ingredients. I keep coming back for quick trips, love all the staff, they are so kind.”
“My favourite market, everyone working there is very kind and it feels very comforting coming in. It's also convenient to my place, and the prices are very reasonable. Sometimes they even have gummy sharks! Not all that often, but once in a while.”
“Great little cute little market to go to the employees are all super kind and nice and just enjoy their job and it's really nice to go in there and see that and they're very personable and it's just a cute little market to go to you you can pretty much get everything you need there if you need to just grab a few quick things they have it”
“The owner is very friendly and all the staff that work for him are great. I go to this store almost daily, and will continue to enjoy supporting this business for as long as I'm in the area.”
“Born and raised in Skagit, I’ve been coming to this food pavilion since I was a little girl. That’s exactly why it’s so disappointing—and frankly unacceptable—how far the experience has declined. My recent visits have been nothing short of awful. The staff is consistently rude, dismissive, and openly unpleasant. I come in to make simple purchases and get treated as if I’m an inconvenience for even approaching the counter. That kind of behavior is completely unprofessional and unacceptable in any customer-facing business. At this point, it’s not an isolated incident—it’s a pattern. Every interaction feels cold, judgmental, and hostile. Whether it’s personal bias or just a complete lack of customer service standards, the result is the same: a miserable experience. And judging by other reviews, I’m clearly not the only one dealing with this. Something needs to change immediately. Keeping staff who repeatedly treat customers poorly is damaging your business and your reputation. If this place is going to survive, you need to seriously reevaluate who you have representing it. Either rebuild your team with people who actually respect customers, or consider handing the business over to someone who will. Right now, this isn’t just disappointing—it’s unacceptable.”
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.

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.
