Fred Meyer One Stop Shopping

Prices have gone up so much we might not be able to shop here anymore. Milk prices went up $ 1.00 in two days. Toilet tissue went up $ 3.00 in a week. Pretty hefty increases.

Okay place to shop. The store is clean and well-​organized.
Just can’t figure out why a place that sells groceries also sells guns.

I go to this store nearly everyday, but last week they broke my heart when they said there would no longer be Panini’s in the deli. WHY? Such a loss. It’s my go-​to lunch favorite, and they ripped it from me like an infant suckling its mothers’ teet.
The prices are high here. I noticed they had some off-​brand Nintendo Wii controllers on clearance for just over $ 20. Well, that’s how much they normally are at Walmart. I’m not impressed with their magazine selection nor their variety. I have seen better choices at other Fred Meyers.
The employees are typically speedy and polite. Always happy for that experience.
The deli does have a very wide selection of foods. Sushi, even. It’s refreshing to see them cater to coastal folk. The Sporting Goods section is great, fully stocked with firearms and ammo. Just not very much for Archery.
All in all, I’ll give it 3 stars. The prices make me just want to go to Walmart, but i don’t care for that experince. Make sure you go on Senior Tuesday if you are 55 or over.

I love Fred Meyer and I truly wish they had one here in Memphis. They have everything under one roof and everything is fairly priced and the people are all very friendly and helpful. Not much else to say. If we had one, this would be my store of choice.

Awesome
Cool
Sweet
Good
Extra gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

Everyone is super friendly. Lots of smiling faces, bank people are also nice. Great toy and gun selection. Went to get my son matchbook cars. They were a dollar each. Their is a male associate upstairs in the clothing section that is a little strange. I won’t say why. Wine selection was really good. Cheese selection was really bad. Staff doesn’t know where anything is located, but they are all very nice.

This is a larger store, as store size goes in Oregon coastal towns. This store offers the full Fred Meyer treatment and was very well stocked. This store can be very busy, especially during summer months with tourists out the wazoo. Getting in and out of this location with a big rig can be tricky and their fuel center is tucked in the north corner of the parking lot. Getting a larger RV in takes some time and patience.

Okay, I love Fred Meyer. I grew up on these stores, and missed them achingly during stints of college and early work life in both Ohio and Montana
.
You know, I even have been taken to FM on a date once*…
So this coastal outlet is my favorite, next to the Corvallis location. It’s been recently remodeled, and is surprisingly large considering the overall size of Newport; it’s bigger than the Eugene store by about 50%.
There is an excellent section of organic, all natural foods and personal care items with nearly the same selection as my hippie grocer in town, but with more competitive pricing. Household items are also reasonably priced, there are lots of great board games, and even a clothing loft on the second floor. Since we’re in town as visitors, it’s great to come here and stock up on stuff that we’ll use on vacation as well as once we’re back over the hill.
Oregonians, our little one stop shop is the best. Make sure you check it out for whatever you’re looking for.
*Said date didn’t go that well, but it wasn’t FM’s fault!

I like Fred Meyer.
You can get what you need at one stop.
Good selection, nice price.
Best of all, it’s not Walmart!

I’m new to this part of the country, and so don’t have the familiarity with the regional chains — and so I can’t compare this recently remodeled and newly re-​grand-​opened store to those in other towns. That said — I am very excited to have found this place. The variety is terrific — a HUGE fresh produce section, as well as a complete Boar’s Head counter, and a massive «whole foods”-like section that takes up 3 long aisles.
They carry some excellent, if harder to find, labels — Numi teas, a variety of real yogurts, and a cold case full of obscure small-​label sodas. And — they are the only store I’ve been to that carries Oscar Meyer’s «braunsweiger» liverwurst — which my dog thinks is the only real dog-​treat in the world.
Like the Walmart across the street, they also carry housewares, hardware and gardening items, clothing, and even have an eye-​wear kiosk which unfortunately couldn’t fix my glasses, but made some helpful suggestions.
I was a little disappointed in the meat market (it smelled of bleach and long use, as they often do in established grocery stores) and processed meats area — they seem to carry everything made by the Jimmy Dean label EXCEPT the 2 things I wanted… which was disappointing. (the all-​natural sausage, and the breakfast pancake/​sausage sandwiches are both available at Walmart, so I guess I will have to shop at both.)
Also, a lot of the nation-​wide brand names in other areas of the store were omitted in favor of the store brand, which evidently is really (or shared with) Kroger. I am rarely a fan of store-​brands, having gotten too many cans of «green beans» that turned out to be loaded with tough a fibrous «green stems.» No thanks — that’s not really a money saving move. And in an aisle full of Keebler cookies and crackers — not a single box of Keebler Zesta Saltines which are endlessly crispier and tastier than Premium. Ah well.
Aside from those small complaints, the selection is exceptional. They have some kind of rewards-​card program I haven’t fully read about yet, and the first Tuesday of every month is «Seniors Day» and offers a 10% discount if you are over 55. They have lots of close-​in handicap parking and a well-​lighted lot; and the restrooms inside are clean. Everyone I talked to in various parts of the store was helpful and very friendly. Many (most) items on my standing grocery list are less expensive here than in any other store I’ve found in this area.
All in all — an excellent experience. I will be going back.

Yeah. Ok… I’m not from these parts and I understand that Fred Meyer is where everything is at and all… But… Wholly freaking mess, Batman!
This store is under renovation, obviously… It’s still open. So you just get to bump around in the mess and try to find what you are looking for… Which is hard when you don’t really know where everything is supposed to be anyways! Plus we did it at 7pm when there really was no one around to ask for help, anyways.
They almost had everything we needed to stock our condo for the week. Beach toys, check. Milk, juice, bread, various condiments and frozen foods, check. Fresh meat and veggies… Whoops. Not so check… Good thing there’s a Safeway in town, too… at least there is a Chase bank branch in here… I’m sure I’ll be back for that…

Fred Meyer is in the middle of a remodel spurred by their rival across the highway, Walmart. Walmart is becoming a superstore so Freddie’s had to update their store too. It’s long overdue! So far, the changes look good but it’s in chaos right now. Thankfully, the very friendly staff are everywhere to help and don’t think twice about leading you all over the store to find things. A word of warning, however, they WILL just take off and you have to chase them with your cart.
I still like Freddie’s better than Walmart, even though it costs more. It’s easier to navigate, the items are a little higher quality, and it just feels less like a warehouse and more like a store. They pretty much have everything you need here. In fact, I’m shocked when I find they don’t have something but then, some of that may be solved by the remodel. We’ll see.
I’m giving them an extra star because this last time in there was the first time the restroom didn’t smell bad. I’m hoping they solved their (lack of) ventilation problem. And because the staff is consistently amazing. By the way, there are always fantastic deals in the seasonal section, which is easier to find now. (Back of the store to the left, on the way to garden).

Normal Fred Meyer. Seems that at the beach the staff are nicer (if they think your local). they have remodeled (and are still) so things are hard to find but most staff will help you out. one thing though. they can put a new face on the store but its the same people working. crummy staff are still crummy and the worst is going into a store that looks really nice to have a employee that is real nasty. Good thing most in the store are very nice. just stay away from lawn and garden.

It’s your typical Fred Meyer and has just about everything that you need. We spent a wonderful spring break in Newport in a nearby rental house. Came over here to get the necessary groceries.

First off, let me introduce Fred Meyer to those of you that may have never shopped one. Fred Meyer is a hypermart chain, now owned by Kroger. However, Kroger hasn’t made sweeping changes so the chain sells:
Supermarket aisles —
produce
full-​service meat and seafood counter
groceries
service bakery
service deli
«Natural Choices» nutrition center with bulk bins
Home aisles–
Drug store items — cosmetics, health and beauty products, in-​store pharmacy
Electronics department with music, DVDs, TVs, stereos, component cables, etc.
Lawn and garden products, including seasonal outdoor garden center
Indoor plans and garden supplies
Paint, basic hardware, lighting, etc.
Sporting goods, including hunting and fishing supplies, camping supplies
Automotive supplies
Apparel aisles–
Mens, womens, childrens, infants clothing
Shoes
While on our coastal camping trip, we made a trip into Newport for a few things. We had a stovetop that used canned butane fuel, which Fred Meyer carried. This store also has a full-​service Starbucks counter, like so many grocers and some discount department stores do these days.
This store is laid out kind of strangely, as it is a triangle. A large amount of the apparel is located upstairs, but not all of it like the Lombard/​Interstate Fred Meyer in Portland. This store did not carry weapons, but I remember the one further up the coast in Warrenton does because I have not seen that in a Fred Meyer in years.
While we didn’t need it, be sure to pick up the weekly ad when you walk in the store — there are usually percentage off coupons for apparel, home or electronics. Food and drug are usually the only non-​discounted departments although there may be in-​store coupons.

Haven’t been in a Fred Meyer’s for quite some time, got all nostalgic about one stop shopping ;) Wish we had them in California, especially South Lake Tahoe.

Over priced except when you happen upon a sale of all sales like I did this day!!! Oh hell it made me wish I had a friend so I could tell someone about it. Sale was like winning the lottery except I didn’t win anything or get rich or buy any tickets or pick any numbers… or…

In Newport, I always look for a store I know… and that is Freddies! I love Fred Meyer… and even though this location is smaller and feels older than the rest… its still a decent store. I’m sure the newer Walmart down the street is taking away business… but don’t let that stop you from shopping here!

you can get pretty much anything here. and it’s not walmart, so that’s automatically +1 star. i’m usually not a fan of the ½ department store ½ grocery store, but these guys pull it off. good variety of organics and produce for small town oregon.
