They have nice little side displays with flowers or promotions of something that you might like. Of course, they are trying to get you to spend money, but you can tell they put a lot of thought into their displays. Always friendly, always professional. I used to live out here near Archer, so this was my main. I live far away from this one now, but I just happened by and thought I'd stop in for one thing. I ended up buying about 9 or 10!!

We stopped at Sam's Club to get my daughter stocked up and ready for her junior year of college! We…read morepicked up all the essentials--water, washing machine detergent and odor-busting beads, fruit, chicken, and plenty more. It's always great to be able to get so much in one trip! One note to management: the bathrooms really need more attention. They should be checked and cleaned much more frequently--honestly, I think they should be looked at at least every hour. Keeping the bathrooms clean makes such a difference in the overall shopping experience. Overall, a productive trip and we got everything we needed to get her ready for another year at college! I had to laugh at some of the displays- you know you're in a college town when you see things like this!

We were very used to BJs Wholesale before we moved here. Sam's Club is basically the same, but…read moresince it is the only wholesale club in Gainesville, it's also usually crowded, so we almost always use their curbside service rather than going in. Saying that, not sure if it is representative of the current times, but they have strangely run out of some staples for days on end (fresh chicken breast/tenderloins, some milk, heavy cream, salads) which seems odd. To be fair, they are in stock about 85-90% of the time, but when they aren't they're usually not available for over a week. The curbside service is usually good, but have had times where not everything was included in my order and didn't notice until I got home. Also, a recent bad experience where rotisserie chicken didn't come out with my other items (including frozen/refrigerated) and was told they're going to have them in 10 minutes. 25 minutes later, no chicken, and the guy who was handling my curbside order went on break! I had to bring all my frozen/refrigerated items inside to customer service to return them as they were just sitting in my car as we waited for the chicken to come out. They should have never brought out my order if it was not complete. If you use their app and go inside, unfortunately the app does NOT tell you were things are located. I wish they had this capability, but admittedly they move stuff around A LOT while some stuff is consistently located, not everything is. Usually the folks inside can direct you to where things should be, but there's never a guarantee. Pro tips for curbside service: - Make sure you indicate you are "on your way" to the store before you get there. This will help get you order to your car faster once you do arrive. - Check your order before they leave to make sure you got everything! - Do not let them bring out a partial order and tell you they'll be back with the rest. Make sure they give you everything at once. Pro tips for shopping in the store: - Use Scan & Go in the app to scan and pay for all your items. It's MUCH faster than if you wait in line to pay.

I have a love/hate relationship…read morewith Publix and have been shopping other options as much as I can since their prices have gone glass and brass. Bravo is just what the area needs and is really turning things around here already. What a difference! Customer service is up 100%. And Bravo's prices are somewhere closer to Walmart and Aldi than Publix (which is about 38% more than Walmart last time I checked (Ask me how I know). So not only are they reasonably priced, they've also got all sorts of hispanic foods and products you'd never find across the street; especially if they're old favorites or you're just curios like me. I Love the produce here and the meats can be a real bargain. Shhh... I think they're opening a bar! Or at least I spy taps!! Wepa!! And I don't really know the Wepa, but I'm feeling it here. Gracias Bravo!!

Like other grocery stores including Publix, Walmart, etc. not all food items sold have "safe" ingredients. For example "cottonseed oil" used in some of the chips by the brand named "Clancy's" not all chips have this harsh ingredient so due your diligence. The overall feel of Aldi is rather quaint and straight forward. Still enough options to browse the aisles slowly but also makes for quick trips that save time you can't get from Wally's world. Reasons to shop at Aldi -veggies/fruits (on average cheaper than Walmart but to be warned produce sells out fast) -better cuts and prices for beef than Walmart (Walmart beef is ridiculous, haven't bothered supporting their beef in years. Much rather buy beef from here or the local butchery) -support a company that keeps prices lower for citizens (Aldi is UK based not USA, hence the "consumer priority" and not "shareholder priority" that you typically see in USA based companies) -save a dollar or two on almost everything you buy if coming from Walmart (and 3-4 dollars saved if you're coming Publix/whole foods) -if you enjoy protein bars (ingredients wise they are higher in protein and have better ingredients than protein bars offered at Walmart) also the cheapest bars per box you'll find at any grocery store! Do remember, .25¢ for a cart and bring your own reusable grocery bags. If not you can purchase some at the counter or even use empty Aldi boxes if they are available.

I very rarely like never give a one star on a business but when it comes to a business repeatedly disappointing me, scamming me, ripping me off, and me foolishly giving many, many opportunities to redeem themselves after false promises due to the staff being so stoned and miserable bare minimum doers that can't Complete basic tasks like use a register, have any knowledge about the products they sell, or even the time to pay attention and greet every potential buyer when one enters their establishment because they're goofing off, hiding in the back office, or decide to greet the younger person who enters after you. This place is run by a bunch of dingbats who will sell you the wrong thing just to shut you up when you're trying to figure out what you do need to buy. If it all possible go anywhere else from here because another thing they do is depending who you are or who you were speaking to within one visit you'll be told different prices and offer different discounts even though the deal of the day is clearly published but they don't give it to everybody. I am absolutely done. Definitely go elsewhere where not every single person that works here seems to be a manager that knows nothing and the business itself doesn't even have an email address; "be lazy & do the less than minimum" is the mission statement of this business.
