“Major respect to Hortense and her partner for having a welcoming store that's well lit, with culturally tailored products (no useless quality products), friendly demeanor, nicely organized with good memory of where the things are when you ask. The product choices range from trusted brands you may recognize from home countries and also local artisanal foods or tonics.Well done!Can you believe it? An hour later at a larger African store in the same area, I asked the shop keeper where something was and he scrunched up his face & said: "What?! Pepper sauce?? No we don't have. "The Baltimore made pepper sauce was in jars right in front of him. @_@ What a difference!Go Hortense, your family shop is definitely needed.Haha”

8035 Snouffer School Rd Unit G, Gaithersburg“Very good Latin store love the fresh mango and the store is very clean. All the staff is friendly and it when I step in I feel like I'm back home in my country shopping in a local store.”
“This place is amazing. The owner is such a humble and great soul. I pray God bless his Buisness bountiful. The customer service is excellent I don’t know why some people are writing bad review on it. The young man helped carry my bags to my car and put them in there. He didn’t have it but he do that is extra care service. I couldn’t have done it since I had a baby with me. Also coming from east Africa, we lack our specialty foods here(USA) but I found a few things at this location from my home country it surely warmed my heart ?. Great job ?? bravo ??.”
“This Giant has been renovated and is always clean and well stocked. They have more selection than the store in Kingsview. I have also noticed that the produce is fresher and better stocked. The only negative is they have been out of the premade salads and microwaveable dinners which always used to be stocked at this location especially the pulled pork with mac and cheese and green beans.”
“Everything here is great, except that it took 15 minutes for soup to be put in the microwave... But other than that, so good! They just seem busy, and need to hire more than the one lady working in the kitchen. Cute couple. Always friendly!”
“I cannot believe openhandpasta only has four reviews! I also can't believe I have taken this long to leave one, considering we've been enjoying this food for months.This kitchen displays a delicate and considerate touch. Every dish is fresh and seasoned perfectly.I do have to cook the pasta longer than recommend but that may be due to local factors, easy to test a peice and confirm its where you want it.Each week a different set of dishes and it is helpful to have some skill at cooking.We order every single week now, thank you chefs!”
“This store offers an amazing selection if you are Asian or Hispanic.
I have not seen a grocery store to the level of offerings or cleanliness that the grocery stores in the South offer… I was even disappointed at the Harris Teeter here. It is nothing like the HT’s in the South!”
“(Translated by Google) I've been trying to buy Motrin for a long time and no store has had it, and I tried this store and if they had it. Since then I only come to this store and it always has it.(Original)estado tratando de comprar Motrin hace tiempo y ninguna tiendo la a tenido, y trate esta tiende y si lo tenia. Desde eso solo vengo a esta tienda y siempre lo tiene.”
“Went to Caravan for the first time in a while. First thing I notice when walking up was a sign in the window that says under new management. The store was out of my usual brand of tahini (Beirut) but I asked the gentlemen at the front if he had a suggestion for an alternative. He was so kind and helpful. He took me to the shelf and told me a little bit about each of the tahini brands. He also made an excellent suggestion for grape leaves **note: they also have fresh grape leaves** the gentleman helping me shared that he is the new owner. his son was working the behind the counter. Such a lovely family, they couldn’t have been nicer! The store was clean and had all the classics. I will definitely be back for all my favorite middle eastern staples.”
“this giant and the workers here are absolutely amazing. I had an amazing shopping experience and lost my phone during the process. The three employees upfront a lady in the self check out and two gentlemen in the guest service area went above and beyond to find my phone I truly appreciate you guys and everything that Thank you very much”
“Why, why do you keep this j*** for t.he week ends? He is nothing but bad news. I have witnesses. He cussed me out in front of people. He is a j**** and a bad representative for your store. Please, keep your good standing in this community, get rid of him. Just the guy that works there on the weekends with the glasses. I'll see you and explain it. Get rid of him.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are a good man. All of the guys are good people. But that guy SUCKS! How dare a professional be such an a** in front of others to a customer. He is causing you damage.”
“It was nice to hear "apa" (sister) after a long time! The meat was fresh, and prepared according to my instructions (they offered suggestions on how to cut it). The only drawback would be that the dry goods could be fresher. Overall nice selection of rice, desi pickles, mustard oil, dal, etc. I think I also saw prayer rugs and ladies hijabs”
“I love that store good service, they take care of their clients, and the place it's really clean.I like this store, everyone is very friendly, the place is very clean, everything organized, they have very good prices.”
“I am very picky about the quality of meat that I buy. I have gone to various halal markets around Virginia, Maryland as well as PA. I found the quality of goat and chicken to be outstanding at Madina Market. Their prices are always lower than others and quality above their competitors. Their Customer Service is very friendly and helpful. You feel home when at store.”

One of the most significant advantages of shopping at Aldi is the significantly lower prices compared to other supermarkets. Aldi's business model is built on the principle of minimalism, focusing on efficient operations and cost-cutting measures to offer affordable products to its customers.

117 N Frederick Ave # 4, Gaithersburg“I come to this place to get meat, salt fish and other items that you won't typically find in the regular grocery stores like giant or shoppers. The employees are nice. The only problem I have is the length of time it takes to get service in the meat department. A lot of it is indecisive customers picking and choosing which piece of meat they want. It's a deterrence especially if I just want to be in and out or under time constraints.”
“Clean and organized store and polite staff. I hope they keep it up and maintain this standard of service compared to other African stores in the area. They can improve on making sure the store always smells pleasant and isn't consumed by the aroma of the spices and produce. It turns away non-African shoppers, and it isn't pleasant to us locals as well. It can be achieved.”

323 Copley Pl, Gaithersburg“I am ALWAYS astounded by the superb customer service provided by Evan at the pharmacy in Harris Teeter Copley Place. He is always pleasant and always efficient. Not only does he go above and beyond when I (foolishly) run in for a last minute Rx, but when I frantically called regarding an emergency Rx for my mother he told me to hit the highway and get there before closing. I got there close to 8pm and he processed my mother’s Rx with 10min to spare. I can’t say enough about him.
Thank you for being so amazing at what you do!”

“I came to buy some groceries and all the fridges were broken, milk was not available so one employee indicated to come the following day at 6am. I came the following day at 7am and still no milk available. A second employee asked me to come back later during the day. While she was still talking a third employee, a young one, asked me what kind of milk I needed. He stopped what he was doing and went to get one gallon of milk. Then the second employee said that he, the third employee was trying to help everybody. Is not what all the employees should do? Unfortunately I did not get the name of the third employee, he really deserves praise, and a raise for what he is doing. He really enjoys his work and keeps the customers happy.”

Food Lion, 883 Russell Ave, Gaithersburg“Overall, I can almost always find the water brand I prefer and it's conveniently setup in a semi open layout. There are multiple self checkout lines and if you prefer to interact with the cashiers and other workers, most have been friendly in a genuine way. It can be a little pricey depending on what you're buying. They have the tahini brand I love and organic frozen fruit. You won't find too many organic fresh produce choices or halal or kosher meat.”
