This place is AWESOME! They have plenty of healthy choices, Soy Milk, low-sodium items, AND great sugar free things.
The 25 cent cart deposit is odd, BUT, allows for carts to not be stolen, broken, left in the parking lot, etc... because you'll go back to get your quarter. They don't waste parking spaces by having a "cart return" in the middle of the lot, AND, there's never a cart in your parking space that the last person was too lazy to take back.
As far as appearance, it's simple, but it's FULL and CLEAN. They don't waste space. They have a building, and fill it with groceries (and some non-grocery items). It's all off-brand, but the quality is awesome. Sure, they don't have specialty meats and such, but for your basic everyday meal, they're perfect!
Also, the employees they hire are above the normal clerks. They have great guest service and are willing to answer any questions you have. My first time in here, the guy pretty much did my shopping for me because I didn't know where to find certain items.
We got a cart full of groceries for about $100... which is usually $200-350 at Wal-Mart or Sam's. You bag your own groceries, and they save money on pretty much everything.
Their whole basis is that they save money in order to save YOU money; and it WORKS! Where else will you find a large box of cereal for $1.50?
Overall, this place is simply amazing. The best grocery store I've ever been to, and we look forward to being long-term guests at this store. Try it out. You won't be...
Read moreI'm giving it two stars because it's an Aldi and I love Aldi, but they've got some serious fraud going on here and that makes me wonder about what you can't see. Namely- THE "CURBSIDE" PICKUP!. I guess they don't remember that that started as "contactless", not "curbside". Well, this is neither. I would say it's the worst anywhere but that's not true, because it doesn't even qualify as an instance. You place your order online for "curbside pickup". You get there and there's nothing in the parking lot to denote a pick-up area. On the corner of the building is a sign that says curbside pick-up, or something to that effect, with an arrow. So you follow the arrow to that end of the building and there's another arrowed sign saying the same thing. And so on, until you're back at go. So, you walk inside to see if there's a pick-up area or a customer service area...no. After looking around for five minutes, re-checking my email that said it was ready, to see if I missed something, I had to get in line and wait until I got up to the cashier and told her that I had a pick-up order. She said, "Oh, I'll get an associate to bring your stuff up. Wait by the door". So, I waited 10 minutes and someone came up with the order (missing two items). I said, "What did I miss here?" "Miss?" "Yeah, is this how it works???" "Yes". Turns and walks away. WHAT A LOAD...
Read moreAwful customer service! And this isn’t based off of one experience! I frequent this store on a weekly basis. Instore and pickup. I placed an Instacart order twice for pick up. Both orders to be ready well before 7 o’clock. This location closes at eight. I have sat outside for an hour in my car and had to go inside to pick up my order. There were two people cleaning the store, people waiting in line with no one at the register, and the lady had the nerve to have an attitude and not want to provide my order. They were in a hurry to leave a hour before close. The last couple of months it has been experiences like this. The staff is rude every single time! Either to my self or others I’ve witnessed. I saw this lady asking for help with an item. An elderly lady and she was the staff for help. The staff looked annoyed and bothered, she was impatient and didn’t want to stop what she was doing to walk this lady to produce. I get we rent carts, bring bags, I think that is perfectly reasonable as the quality of food and the produce is cost effective. But to deal with rude and unhelpful employees while shopping is ridiculous!...
