I had a great experience at Trader Joe's in Old Town and wanted to give a special shoutout to…read moreNathan for the outstanding customer service. I originally came in to make a return, and he processed it very quickly and smoothly with no hassle at all. Later on, I ended up going through his checkout line, and he was just as friendly and helpful. He even took the extra step to make sure the orchid I purchased was packed securely so it would make it home safely. It's small touches like that that really stand out and make a difference. Shopping there felt easy and welcoming, and Nathan made a simple trip to the store feel like a great experience. Customer service is everything at the end of the day, and it means a lot to me to go to a store and receive genuinely good service. Because of that, I will definitely be back. Great job, Trader Joe's, and thank you again to Nathan for the excellent service!

Located adjacent to Giant, MOM's has plenty of parking at no cost. Shopping carts are free to use…read moreand it is encouraged to bring a reusable shopping bag. Smaller on the inside than I imagined but the variety of goods being offered were vast. The produce prices are higher and many of their items are organic and have scrutiny on the contents. This is for your betterment and you can find deals with the different signage throughout the store. Set up like any other supermarket, there is more selection of good for you food with less preservatives and dyes. When time to check out, the lines move quickly and the cashier was helpful, pleasant and efficient. I would recommend this store for others and plan to return in the future for more niche items.

My first visit at this location, however, was for a return. Interestingly, the customer service desk is near the stairwell & escalator just outside of the store. This made my visit much quicker than expected, which was a definite plus. While this branch opened its doors in mid 2022, somehow I just discovered it a few months ago.

Inconvenience is not "quirky."…read more Aldi is a decent market where you'll be able to get most, but not all, of what you need, for mostly good prices. However, they have certain business practices that seem to exist for no other reason than to make them "stand out," and irritate the customer. First- the carts. You need to slot in a quarter to get a cart. Its 2018, I barely even carry around paper money. No one is going to steal your carts, Aldi. Nobody cares. Thanks for making me navigate a too-small parking lot with a cart just to get my quarter back. Your system is antiquated and actively hostile to the customer. Second- bagging. I have no problem with paying an extra five cents for bagging. Aldi charges ten cents, which is pathetic but whatever. I use a handful of bags- and reuse them for other things. I'm willing to pay for some bags. What I DO have a problem with is the bagging system. You don't even ask if I want bags, and you just start chucking loose items into my cart? I'm not spoiled. I'm fine with bagging my own stuff. What annoys me is that I'm expected to put up with you speeding through my items, chucking them into the cart, and then having me (and everyone else) go stand off to the side to re-pack everything. PROVIDING POOR SERVICE AND ACTING AS IF YOU'RE DOING ME A FAVOR IS NOT OKAY. Here's an (incredibly obvious) fix: have the cashier ask if I want bags. If yes, give them to me, and hand me the items as they're scanned, and I'll put them in bags. Honestly the whole experience really soured me on Aldi. It's hipster nonsense- being deliberately inconvenient so they can seem "unique."

Ventured here today looking for some fresh fruits and vegetables…read more Was happy with the selection for today. Picked up some yummy fruits and veggies. Was excited to see seeded watermelons and seeded grapes! We also grabbed some jelly's and apple butter. The Apple Butter took me back to Sunday mornings breakfast at Grandmas. The bakery side had a variety of yummy treats from doughnuts, pies, cookies and cakes. Definitely grabbed a few for later. The Apple Pie ice cream my hunnie ordered was delicious. Tasted just like Apple Pie. Looking forward to our next adventure here already.

I visited the nursery section only and the variety was impressive. I found most of what I was…read morelooking for which was a win. However the service was very hit or miss. The woman who checked us out was an absolute delight, warm, funny, and exactly what you hope for at a local farm stand. Unfortunately my experience in the herb section was the opposite. When I asked about strawberry plants and was told they didn't have any, I mentioned I was a first time gardener and asked if she could recommend something beginner friendly. Her response was essentially "just pick something, all you have to do is water them." When I explained again that I was new and looking for guidance, she told me she couldn't help me. As a first time gardener trying to learn, that kind of dismissiveness was discouraging. If it weren't for the lovely woman at checkout, I likely wouldn't return. I ended up going to Ed's Plant World in Brandywine where the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful to a beginner. The difference was night and day. That said, I'm giving 4 stars because the place is really awesome in terms of selection and variety. The woman in the herb section may have just been having a bad day. It's absolutely worth checking out.
