“Let me put you onto a local legend: the Piggly Wiggly Lent Cod Dinner. Every Friday during Lent, this classic small-town Piggy comes through with a 2-piece cod dinner for just $6.99!! Yep! Less than 7 bucks for two crispy pieces of golden cod, and they even throw in the sides (like coleslaw, potato wedges & a dinner roll). It’s the kind of humble, hearty Wisconsin tradition that hits the spot—especially when you’re ballin’ on a budget or observing meatless meals during Lent. Now here’s the catch (pun 100% intended): get there EARLY. I showed up at 4:30pm on a Friday, and there was only one lonely 2-piece dinner left in the hot case. Word clearly gets around in this little town, because those fish dinners fly faster than you can say “tartar sauce.” Locals know this is the place to be on Lenten Fridays, and it’s got that nostalgic small-town vibe to go with it. The store itself has that old-school charm. Not fancy, not modern, just real—like it hasn’t changed much since your grandma was grocery shopping in shoulder pads and feathered bangs. The staff are friendly and quick to check if there are any more fish dinners coming out (bless ’em, even if the answer is usually no by dinnertime). Pro tip: Call ahead if you’re rollin’ in later in the afternoon, or better yet, swing by right around 3:30pm to beat the fish rush. You’ll thank yourself later.”

“Convienient gas station on WI-60 just north of Blue River if you are taking that route to Boscobel or eastern Crawford County locations. They have a restaurant area with a good selection of prepared meals as well as the usual variety of chips and other snack food. They also have beer and soft drinks.”
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.
Kroger is spending $112 million to build two new stores and renovate 15 existing locations across central and northwest Ohio. The company calls it a "record-breaking" commitment to the region.

Kroger broke ground on the Canal Winchester location on March 19 at the southeast corner of Diley Road and Greengate Boulevard.

On top of the new openings, Loblaw will renovate another 191 stores and continue construction on a roughly 1.2 million-square-foot automated distribution center in Caledon, Ontario.
