Reviewing a Walmart.... Didn't think I ever would. Growing…read moreup in Chicago we really didn't have one of these in the city, only in the suburbs. I had heard stories about these stores and I always avoided them. Now I live in a smaller town and Walmart is the only store where I can get everything and it's 10 min away. This store is ok. I love that I can shop at home and pick it up at a time that works for me. I've never had an issue with my order and it's always been ready for me at the time I requested. I also ordered for home delivery once and I didn't have an issue with it. Walmart is nothing fancy and the service can be great and it can be bad. Doesn't stop me from shopping there. Prices are ok and it's convenient to do all my shopping in one place. I've also started using the auto department. I've been getting my oil changed here for a year now and I've had no issues. I go first thing in the morning and shop. I have not had to wait more than 45 min for my car to be done. While I prefer Target, this store is closer to me and the prices are a bit lower. I feel like some customers there are worse than the employees they complain about. You know what to expect when you walk in. Beware......

Customers really need to pay attention to expiration dates when using Walmart curbside pickup. In…read moremy experience, employees appear to pull the items closest to expiration first. I placed a curbside order on May 16, 2026, and was given a product that expired in January 2026. That is completely unacceptable and presents a legitimate health concern. To Walmart's credit, the refund was issued immediately, but that does not change the fact that expired food should never make it into a customer order in the first place. There is also a chronic issue with missing items and damaged canned goods arriving with large dents in the sides. At this point, we avoid ordering produce entirely through curbside because quality control has been consistently unreliable. My hope is that Walmart sees feedback like this and takes it seriously, because customers should not have to inspect every item in an order just to ensure it is safe and undamaged.

There is a big selection here! Everything seemed well organized and easy to find. I found some…read moregreat things on sale too! Staff was helpful when I was trying to find things and honestly I was also blown away by the second mile service! When I was checking out my shoes the cashier asked me if that was the correct size. No one had ever asked me that before haha. Perhaps they get a lot of returns with people saying they got they wrong size. Either way I felt great with my purchase.

So I'm supposed to just lose money for something they sold that was bad.

More affordable than Saks Stiff Avenue & Needless-Markups, pricier than heretic Macy's or Kohl's. Since I haven't stepped foot in Oak Brook's Nordstrom in decades, perhaps equivalent? Salespeople are more friendly and helpful than pushy or judgmental. In February, was delighted to find a good selection of lingerie for a bridal shower trousseau--unsure if that depth is kept year-round or strictly due to Valentines. As far as the unkind review regarding the assortment: being well dressed will never go out of fashion; however, if you are looking for something trendy, you may have to shop elsewhere. Adeiu.

Then I decided to go to the kitchen section and found a mini waffle maker for 20 dollars when I could get one at the nearby target (about a minute away from this kohls) for half the price, and it was not on sale there. The employees were practically non-existent, but overall, not that bad.

The location is huge and the selections are great especially if I don't want to shop at the bigger chains who love Orange or Blue colors. The location is easy to find. It is convenient to have a light to turn into and out of the store. Parking is huge and there are plenty of spots. The store itself is very big and I have yet to explore it all. I usually come here for Lumberjack Pellets (great quality pellets that no one really sells), and landscaping relating stuff like tools and mulch. Sometimes I will browse the food selection because why not. You can usually find unique things here and one of their beef jerky brands is delicious. I have used their delivery service and pick up as well. Both have given me no issues. I have signed up for their free membership which I have no idea what it does and what benefit it holds. Overall, even though it takes ~15 minutes to drive here and drive thru an area I am not fond of... I am a huge fan of Blains and will continue to shop here.

Upon first walking in, there are shopping carts outside where you have to insert a quarter to use. (I later found this out, after struggling with the shopping carts and giving up when they wouldn't unchain.) Once inside, this place is a maze. Aisles filled with crackers, cereal, nuts, produce, meat, dairy, canned goods and even seasonal goods (non-edible). I was awestruck and super excited at the same time. Since we didn't have a cart and no bags, I had to keep my first shopping trip to what I could carry. (I purchased the said cereal, a bottled coffee drink, and some dried cherries - all for under $10.) I couldn't wait to come back and finally did with a shopping bag in tow. This time I grabbed chocolate, more bottled coffee drinks, chips, multiple gourmet cheeses, more dried cherries and fresh blueberries. All of this for a steal! (Think a large container of blueberries for $0.99 and a bag of chips for $1.79.) Oh boy, I'm in love. Truly, madly, deeply in love with this store. I can't wait to come back and see what else I'll find next time. They better open one of these up in my hometown!
