“I don't post a lot of work stuff, but I have to say that generally speaking working with food vendors is a royal pain!
However, there is a major exception and that is Bix Produce. They are AMAZING!!! Every restaurant that has them gets a representative that is assigned to help them, like a personal concierge. Those people seem to be extraordinarily gifted at customer service and have a knack for overall likability. The lady at my last restaurant
(Michelle) was nothing short of extraordinary. The gentleman that is now my representative (Doug) in my new position showed up to introduce himself before we had even opened our doors for customers. Since then he has helped me out a few times as I have learned to navigate an ordering system that is quite different than what I was used to before and been so pleasant every step of the way.
They have also been extremely responsive and proactive with any issues that have arisen with orders. On more than one occasion I have gotten text messages from my representative telling me that something was missing on my order before I had even had a chance to check for myself. Usually they would start by apologizing and saying that if we needed it that day they would have it out on a truck as soon as possible. If we didn't need it that day we were able to just order it for the next day and they would give us a credit back.
Honestly, there is no company that I would recommend more highly for anyone going into any type of professional food service that requires any sort of produce.”
“I relocated from the northwest metro and usually visit this location at least twice a week. The selection of items is good, the prices are very good and the checkout and customer service is excellent. Each employee that I have encountered has been wonderful, cordial and super quick on checking out my items. And when
I left my wallet on the bagging counter, one of the customers returned it and I avoided the dread of "lost wallet syndrome". I really enjoy shopping here and hopefully everyone feels the same as I do.”
“Great Aldi location. Great selection of groceries. Prices are Aldi prices which is great. Products are well organized and easy to read.
Products were all stocked and we didn't have issues finding what we needed.
There are self-checkout stations here, which is very convenient.”
“We've shopped at Aldi for a few years now. Good selection of just about everything and priced a little lower than others. I like the meat and cheese options”
“My first time at this store, as I shop at many Aldi. Crisp “wow” look when I walked in. Nice layout. I liked the decorations/signage. Wish they had Self Check out. But tho there was a building line, the cashier called for back up right away. The products I needed were in stock. Thank you!”

“I really like the curbside pick up. It's so much more dependable than delivery (which in my case, had never been delivered 2x now). My pickup, scheduled for today, monday, July 22nd, has it pouring down rain when I pulled up. Yet those 2 boys came rushing out with my bags and got them in the car quickly and without any problems. I just wish they were allowed to accept tips, especially on a day like today. Thank you Mahtomedi Aldi's curbside loaders, y'all are awesome! This is sunshine by the way.”
“Very good deal with the parking lot is always full and I actually was backed into no cameras in the parking lot so be careful where you park people don't know how to drive”
“We like this store, a lot. I would give it a 5, but, the bakery, isnt accommodating. The employees are great. The bakery items are great. The policy's aren't. I asked to buy a variety of muffins that weren't pre packaged, they said they couldn't do that. I asked to buy just two of one type of muffin. They couldn't do that, had to be the four pack. Kowalski, Lund's Byerleys, Hy-Vee, all will sell you any amount of anything. Jerry's needs to be more accommodating.”
“This place was so fun to explore. The fruits and veggies gave off that freshness feel. Never got a whole jackfruit before here. It was a very sticky adventure. The sales section was great for those on a budget. Trying different random fruit each time I go there. Learned the difference in the popular dragon fruits. Oh… and spices like turmeric and cinnamon are so much more cheaper here. An adventure every time I’ve been there.”
“Great food and great prices. Bring your own bag. Have a quarter ready to rent a shopping trolley. Not a huge variety but you'll definitely get better deals here than pretty much anywhere for your grocery needs.”
“Great local grocery store with an excellent deli of Southeast Asian food (bahn mi, kapoon soup, purple rice and sausages, etc.)A lot of fresh produce, meat, seafood, and a lot of Asian food and products”
“Aldi has become a great place to shop. Save a ton of money. Some locations seem to be better than others. The secret to shopping here is you need to know how to cook. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is I wish they had more of a selection of things. It's come a long way, though, from where Aldi was 10+ years ago.”
“Excellent selection of hard to find produce and incredibly reasonable prices. Grocery items are a bit limited, but perfectly sufficient for most Hmong cooking. I know often Muslims (my family included) go to Asian markets to look for halal items from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, etc. There isn't too much of that here aside from some instant noodles and condiment sauces. That being said, it's worth going just for the fruits and veggies. I went wearing a traditional thobe, and sometimes that can cause store employees and shoppers to give rude glares, but that wasn't the case here. Staff was respectable and shoppers were friendly. I would recommend this store to Muslims, as Hmong people use a lot of the same fresh produce we use for Desi, Arabic, African, and SE Asian food.”
“Good place to get some cheaper items but doesn't have enough people working so expect to wait in line awhile/ don't forget to bring your bags if you're planning on buying a lot ?”

“If you do not know how Aldis works you won’t have a good experience because it’s not like your traditional grocery. But this is a decent aldis and I can usually find what I’m looking for and more for a reasonable price. My only qualm is the long checkout lines with one or two cashiers but the cashiers are quick and they will call another associates to open a line. But other than that I enjoy my experience at aldi”
“I have gotten nuts from them a few years now. Their products are always top quality. I am snacking on the chocolate toffee almonds right now. So good! Previously I've tried the cashews and mixed nuts, also great.”

“I currently work here. There is a lot of great organic produce. Consider getting a buying club together like some folks do in order to make bulk purchases! Maybe I'll see ya around at the Will Call dock.”
“We’ve been members for as long as I can remember. Great small co-op with excellent local selections. They’ve done a lot over the past few years to stock products that are price-accessible, though overall the selections are a little on the expensive side. The deli section never disappoints. The staff are always friendly and attentive.(The Hungarian mushroom soup was the best, but they haven’t had it for a couple years now!)”
“Fatboy alert Code Red!!! Man your stations!!!! I was at Aldi's and bought something called shaved beef. I made the most amazing steak and cheese sandwich with this shaved beef. I would rank my steak and cheese higher than tono's.”
