Fred Meyer

The new Starbucks at this store is a big fail. I ran into the store to get a coffee on my break and there was just one employee working. She was working hard and fast but was no match for running the register and making coffee. Get your stuff together, manager.

I came here to get some furniture while they were still having sales. And, I realized they don’t do delivery! Also, if you pay, they will only hold for you but you have to pick up before the store closes on the purchase day. Well, that is ok!
What I am impressed with was I purchased a couple pieces of furniture here due to manufacture quality control and my incorrect measurement, I had to bug them several times. The staff here was very friendly and they got me the parts I needed and they refunded me money even I already assembled the furniture.
Not to mention, this one is a super store very close to my new home. One stop shopping destination!

Great customer service! I came into the store today to buy a particular brand of bread to replace for my roommate, as soon as I went to the bread aisle I was greeted by Lena who even with an injured leg went above and beyond to help find what I was looking for. It feels good as a shopper to know that a company so large has such thoughtful associates.

I go to this store often. It has great prices and overall is fast to get it and out, but lately I will say that there has been an Asian lady working in the self check out lane that has made the shopping experience more dysfunctional with her aggressive suggestions in checking items out. Wish she would ease up more and perhaps learn a tip or two about customer service. Regardless this center is great and I will definitely continue to shop here.

Man, this place has been indispensable to me for so, so long, and they’ve extensively remodeled it in the last few years. They seem to be working hard and investing in it, and you’d think it would be easy to see lots of evidence of all that effort paying off. There’s still a lot to like – it’s a huge store with tons of things in one place, and the prices are pretty damn good. They don’t stock a lot of high-​end stuff, but you can get basic stuff for the house, the car, the kitchen, even clothes. If you have ever shopped at a Fred Meyer, though, you know all this. The problem here is that the grocery department is a complete mess.
First and foremost, the meat department staff seem to border on open hostility toward the people who shop here. We can all relate to having days when we just don’t want to be at work, but the level of surliness here is remarkable. You can hardly ask them basic questions without them acting like aggravated teenagers. You let the store management know, and they immediately know who you’re talking about. Then you come back again, see the same people, and run into the same problems.
We asked three times for boneless pork butt this weekend, and the kid didn’t know the answer. That’s fine, but we had to spoon-​feed him the idea of finding someone else to ask. He found a supervisor, who assured us that there was more than one in the case. No, those are bone-​in. We need boneless. He proceeded to ask just to justify why we needed it boneless, and said it would take them a «long time» to de-​bone a pork shoulder, so we «better go do some shopping.» Actually, you can just cut a boneless piece off the pork shoulder, if you haven’t broken it down yet. We only need a couple pounds, not the whole thing. We decided to just buy the bone-​in and bone it at home. Not worth the hassle with these guys.
On top of that, the first kid we asked appeared to have pink eye. Swollen, inflamed, discolored, discharging left eye. Yeah, he is entitled to his hours, but don’t put him in a food-​handling position, or where he’ll have contact with the public.
Next, the stockers here seem to just take over the store in the middle of operating hours. They roll out palates that block entire aisles. That would be one thing, but they block both ends of the aisle. When you ask if you can get through to shop, they tell you to just say what you want, and they will get it for you. That would work if you were stocking packaged goods, but not in produce. So they roll their eyes, gasp and sigh, and make a lavish display of the huge favor they’re doing you to let you through to shop.
The level of training here seems to be at the absolute minimum, and the hiring choices for floor staff are peculiar to say the least. Whoever’s upstairs seems to be asleep at the switch. I really want to support these guys, but there are so many other options in the area, including a couple of Fred Meyers that seem to be more or less capably run.

Stopped in at the last second looking for a birthday cake for my moms 81^st birthday and Erin in the bakery was Awesome. She found the perfect cake and she personalized it for me. My whole experience there with Erin was great. She was so helpful. Thanks Erin.

We shop at this Fred Meyer quite often. Their long hours are convenient and their selection of products and services is huge! We can buy eggs, beer, a light bulb, socks, running shoes, a garden hose, and prescription drugs all in one place! We can even stop by the bank or DMV, or stop by the teriyaki place or locksmith or other businesses attached on the outside. When Lowe’s or HD is closed, we come here. Surprisingly, we’ve recently discovered that they have a pretty good selection of organic and non-​GMO produce too. Prices for many of their products are decent (though they can sometimes be higher than Walmart or Target). Employees are generally friendly and helpful.

This place is huge. Fred Meyers is Fred Meyers and yes, 99 percent of them are the same. But i have to give it props for how clean it is and the extras it has — Starbucks, Chase bank, for example. Some, not most but some aren’t so clean. This one appears to be very organized especially in the clothing section. There are more than enough employees here and they have always been friendly and engaging in my experience.
I was once employed by Fred Meyers way back in the day and this one blows the socks out of that one. The food selection is huge and the meats are very fresh.
And the parking lot has never been a mess in the times I’ve been there. This has been a problem in many of the others I’ve been too. There is a baskin Robbins there as well and an incredible teriyaki place.
Maybe this deserves 5 stars but i cannot give it because of a few other Fred Meyers i have been to in Oregon. Still a solid place to do your shopping!

As far as Fred Meyers go… this one is ok but it seems dirtier than normal. The produce doesn’t seem as fresh. Still a decent location.

Very friendly staff. The cashiers are great and so helpful. The savings are amazing especially if you use the app and preload coupons. Did I mention that they have everything ever!!!

I love this store. I shop at Costco and here. That’s it. Prices are great. Employees are awesome. Nice lighting makes place energetic. This store has it all. Like a mini-​mall. Sushi, deli, optical, electronics, bank, gas station, pharmacy, jeweler, Tully’s coffee, Redbox, and everything else connected (mini/​strip mall stores).
But, overall I love the selection, the employees (who are awesome always and I mean always after 13 years of shopping here) and great prices. Keep up the great work. A treasure of a store.
If you are lucky, you will run into the pug who sits inside the SW corner entrance. I always look forward to taking a picture of him (her?). Cute dog.

Rude unprofessional staff– starting from cashiers to Pharmacy. The pharmacy staff seem to be confused– Doctor’s office faxed them back but every time I called was told they had not heard back they did not bother to check on their shelves as my doctor called in a new rx with refills. This happened on more than one occasion. There is a lady who is the nastiest to customers and she is always sitting on a chair–
Every time I call there is confusion and I get the run around. Do not go to this pharmacy they will mess up your prescriptions due to chaotic environment and incompetent staff!

The Jewelry Store at this Fred Myers has horrible customer service. DON“T USE THE JEWELRY STORE!
Went in for new batters for 3 watches and a new watch band. Spent about $ 60.00. No problem with the batteries but the counter guy, Rimon Aziz, was responsible for switching out my watch band. He looked at it, said what size it was, found a new one that I liked, and had the watch guy put it on. I left. Several weeks later I went to wear that watch and it turns out the band was too short. No problem. I go back to get it replaced. It’s obviously new since I never wore it.
Problem: I didn’t have my receipt. So Rimon supposedly tries to look me up on the computer. I shop at Fred Myer all the time, yet he says I didn’t come up in the system so he says he won’t replace the band and that it was my fault because I should have tried it on at the store (I was wearing another watch and it didn’t occur to me that the band would be so challenging). Then he admits that he didn’t measure the length. He assumed that since I’m a women I would need a regular band length and not a long band. So had admits that he got the length wrong but he still wouldn’t replace the band and says to me that I would have to buy a new one. Ok I know that the jewelry store is not required to swap out the band since I didn’t have a receipt but seriously how much does it cost them to do this simple swap? Especially since Rimon admits he didn’t bother to measure the length. I can’t understand why the jewelry store wouldn’t be willing to make this simple change which really costs them nearly nothing and instead they and the Fred Myer have lost a customer for life.
The disrespect (assuming that since I was a women I should wear a regular length band and not a long) and the lack of willingness to make the wrong right is so frustrating. Please do not shop at this store.
Rimon Aziz you are rude, disrespectful and lack any degree of customer service.

This Freddie’s has been there forever. They used to have carnival style rides at the start of each Summer in the parking lot in the early 70’s. Rock-​O-​planes anyone?
There is nothing great or awful about this location. They have a ton of stuff here — a little of everything. Prices are about what you think they should be. I have been shopping here for decades, never had a problem with staff, returns, anything really.

Solid 3.5 stars, for a Canadian, I much prefer FM over Walmart’s; has a much better shopping feel, not so office-​like, more homier feel.
Find the food and wine selection shopping experience better.
Especially great if you have a Chase account.
Customer service clearly much better.
Good location too, 5 min drive past the Nordstrom Rack shopping area.

The best thing about this Freddy’s is the gas station. For some reason, the locations in Seattle don’t have gas stations. Because I shop at Freddy’s a lot, I get fuel rewards. 100 points = 10 cents off a gallon. That can really add up. This is the closest location to my house and I like that it’s right off 196^th, a fairly accessible (but sometimes busy street).
This location has everything you would expect at a Freddy’s. Of particular note, I think the produce here is better than some of the other locations. Also, the gardening center feels bigger. I don’t actually think it’s bigger but the layout feels more spacious to me.
Overall, I like shopping at Freddy’s and this location is a good one.

This location is really good — there is a place inside to get your car registration taken care of, a gas station, plus all the usual goods I’ve come to expect with Freddy’s. They even had clearance ski gloves for a last minute end of season ski day! I’ve been here for digital cameras to Seahawks gear and prices are always competitive. Parking on 196^th is rough, so I always park on the 44^th ave side.

My biggest gripe is the deli. it is open until 9pm but stops cooking by 7pm? My hubby and I work everyday until 6:30 and grocery shop every Thursday so we look forward to picking up a quick and easy meal. By 7:45 pm all hot food is packed up. Are we the only ones who want hot food after 7?
Otherwise this is a good good store, friendly cashiers and not a long wait to check out.

I come here a lot. Its a good place to get gas for a decent price, although it can be a bit crowded at the tanks. There is both a BECU atm and a chase branch at this location. I also really am a fan of one stop shopping. I like the clothes and shoes here. Sometimes good sales can be found. Its a place my boyfriend and I can both agree on for doing our grocery shopping. There is a larger section of natural foods than at some stores. Plus you can get other things done like getting a key made. There are self checkouts. Its also nice that there are various entrances and exits to the store so you can make it a little easier on yourself if you are just running in and out. My biggest complaint is that it is a little hard to leave the parking lot and head off in any direction you choose, but eventually you get used to this.

I love the variety of Fred Meyer, and the fuel stations is the only place we buy our gas. This place is the epitome of one-​stop shopping. We buy our everything from bras to bologna at this store.
The people in the electronics department are especially wonderful. They always have a smile on their face, and they are so very helpful. One of the people in the department went the extra mile and really helped me through sorting out which headphones to buy.
Also, I have to say, when these guys have a sale — they have a SALE. I purchased a pair of Converse low-​tops for $ 15 after the clearance price. I was so pleased to find a pair of groovy shoes in my size for such a low price.
So, I recommend this Fred Meyer wholeheartedly to anyone who is shopping in the neighborhood, and wants the true one-​stop experience!
