They had nice salads, refresh drinks, and a lot of little instant meal options that were useful while traveling.

Publix did exactly what I needed it to do, and I am giving them 5 stars.

I brought them ALL to him. All rang up for a penny. I looked up the policy and rather than let me pay anything for them, they're going to throw them in the trash for an insurance loss claim.

I recently visited Trader Joe's and I didn't have a great experience because of one employee, but…read morethe reason I had to publicly write a positive review is because of the way the store's Captain, Alek, responded to my feedback. I don't like to leave negative reviews because I know one person/employee doesn't represent the company, but I want management to know if something is "weirdly" off. This review is all about how Trader Joe's at the Summit went above and beyond to listen to my one concern and responded in a way that displayed excellent customer service and satisfaction. I enjoy shopping at Trader Joe's and I'm looking forward to a new location opening within our area soon. Their stores are always warm and inviting and I love their unique produce options. They are my go to for beautiful Brussel Sprout stalks and their delicious cookie butter. I would love for them to bring back the washable, reusable wine bags circa 2019...but even without those, I will continue to return and shop and Trader Joe's. What an amazing job to Captain Alek and Mate Ron for leading a great crew!

I know they have made some changes since it first opened, but it did feel sort of less cluttered. I say that because while the aisles felt wider, the produce less crammed, and a back corner reconfigured, I still have never mastered the art of shopping Trader Joe's. The placement of items seems so random to me, and unituitive. Why are there peanut butter cups and harissa above frozen vegetables? Why are cookies over nearly everything frozen from dinner entrees to breakfasts? It can be a little frustrating for 'compartmental shoppers.' If you want fresh flowers, make sure you go early in the day for the best selection. And if you're going for flowers near the end of the week, be also forewarned that a number of church flower guilds use TJ to create and/or supplement their weekly arrangements because TJ gets some unique flowers in smaller bunches at decent prices.

The staff is friendly and the store is typically clean despite the constant influx if customers. I'm a fan of Publix's bogo deals, hot food bar, and sushi section; I love trying something new each visit. Their fruits are also a fav, I appreciate the pre packaged variety. Their pre-made sandwiches are great for a grab and go snack, I also like to take them on my hiking trips. My sorority sisters helped me discover "pub subs" in undergrad and they're still an easy choice for lunch or dinner when I'm feeling lazy. Glad to have this place in my area!

I also appreciate that they are an option on the Too Good To Go platform. I do wish it were easier to obtain a bag, but I understand availability is limited due to the nature of how the program works. The prices can sometimes be higher than what you would pay at Walmart, but when you compare the quality, selection, and overall experience, the slightly higher cost feels worthwhile. Whole Foods offers many products that other stores do not, making it a valuable shopping experience, especially for people who enjoy trying new things. The store itself is clean, organized, and easy to navigate. I've never felt overwhelmed by the layout, and the atmosphere is enjoyable. The music is not too loud or distracting, which adds to the overall pleasant shopping experience.
