Albertsons

This is the closest grocery store to our home. Over the past year we have seen the quality of food and service go down. We will be driving further to get our groceries.

On two separate visits to two different stores we bought items only to discover after we got home that they had gone bad or were expired. The food variety and brand selection is poor, mostly because too much of the store is given to non-​grocery items. Many shelves are sparcely populated. Produce quality is marginal.

Are you kidding me?!
Ok to start off with we’ve been shopping at this location for a good 10 years and haven’t had too many problems with it. But lately the products and customer service is inexcusable. First of all there was milk in the refrigerators that was already expired! When we tried telling the cashier about it they just shrugged it off and tried to convinces us we read the label wrong. I’m sorry, but if I’m going to buy something that expires in a short amount of time like cold products, I’m going to make sure I know the date on the item… Second of all a couple weeks later we gave it another try and when we came home there was expired pudding that they sold us! It wasn’t even a couple days out of date it was 6 MONTHS OUT OF DATE!!! I’m sorry, but 6 months? Really?!
Whenever we realized this we called the store right away and got in touch with one of the managers for this location. After explaining both occurrences to him, he promptly apologized (there’s a step in the right direction), but then hung up when I was talking to him. If the company and store has the customers as a priority then all of this wouldn’t have happened.
I will be avoiding this store at all costs from now on!

I came in to buy safety pins for my son’s classroom project. We found them right away.
I remembered my son hadn’t had his flu shot and saw the sign out front, so we stopped by the pharmacy and checked on how much it would cost to get the flu mist vaccination. They wanted $ 80 with insurance. That is insane! We decided to wait and get it done at the pediatrician.

My favorite thing about this store is the produce section. The selection of cut fruits is wonderful — watermelon, pineapple, mango to name a few — and frequently on sale. The store-​made guacamole is my absolute favorite. I can find items here that I cant find at Target or Walmart, like Stella D’oro cookies! Only one reason I can’t give five stars and that is because of the every day prices. They are a bit high. Most employees are friendly.

There’s a reason that Albertsons and Brookshire’s are going out of business around here. Their everyday prices are terrible, and their selection is lacking. The saving grace for this review is that they were running a sale on choice brisket ($ 1.99/lb packers with an extra $ 5 off coupon). $ 10 worth of extra purchases were necessary to get the deal, so I had to buy a few gallaons of milk and some bread.

We stayed in this area to keep our fave grocery store. Lol. We adore the staff and store’s planograms/​layouts. Always receive service with a smile.

I have shopped there for a long time since they are the closest store to my house. I will be driving all the way to Kroger from now on. I went in about two months ago and bought some seasoned chicken legs to cook in my rotisserie oven. After about 5 minutes there was a god awful smell. Like garbage. They were obviously no good. My husband had to help me dispose of them… I nearly lost it the smell was so bad. I quit shopping the meats for a few months. Thinking it had to be a fluke last night I bought some plain drumsticks. Same thing and one of them was oozing some brown goo. Also! At Christmas I bought $ 450 worth of gift cards for my employees, The lady ringing them up kept shuffling them around and scanning the same on e more than once. When I asked her how she could possibly know if they were correctly rang up she argued with me that they didn’t have to be individually scanned. OMG. I made her print the receipts off and we were short several. Another lady had to help figure out which were not activated by matching them one by one with the receipt. Good thing I was paying attention! Obviously they are putting out rotten meat and the checkers are not trained all that well… I am so over this place. Whole foods and Kroger only for me from now on :-(

Visited here recently in search of sale items (shameless, I know). Our old Albertsons (one of the ones that closed some time ago) always seemed to suffer from bad smells in the store, but this one was just fine. I still don’t like the lighting and general layout of the store, but I was here for beverages and was able to locate them quickly and check out quickly as well, especially considering it was a busy Saturday. This makes any grocery store a success in my book.
The only other downside is that it takes some work to get into the place due to the highway exit layout and surface roads, but that’s not really their fault.

When we walked in we were welcomed, wished a «happy new year», and asked if we need any help by four different employees. They were all smiling and happy, and I was surprised by how clean and organized the store was!
They had everything we needed (except for real vanilla) and the shopping experience was so easy. It wasn’t overly crowded even in the middle of the day on a Saturday and we didn’t have to wait at all to check out because they had so many lanes open.
I just moved to the frigid north of DFW and I’m glad to have found another awesome Albertsons to do my grocery shopping at.
