Fred Meyer One Stop Shopping

This place has every thing you need. Just like a Walmart. It just doesn’t have the colorful characters you see at Walmart.
Fred Meyer, where you pay a few extra bucks to not shop at Walmart.
Oh the store is top notch and the employees are super helpful.

Pharmacy needs leadership!
The store overall is decent and employees are nice.
The pharmacy on the other hand is a huge disappointment. I use this location because I work in Salem otherwise I would use my favorite location that’s in Newberg.
Today I needed to fill a simple prescription, I approached the drop off counter, no other customers waiting and there was at least 6 employees chatting. One looked at me and said it will be a minute and continued chatting.
A few min later a gal approached me and took my information, she the said it will be ready at 2pm… I asked why does it take 1.5 hrs to fill a prescription? She said it was busy… Really? Not one of them were filling prescriptions. All were chit chatting.
Then she just walked away as if I annoyed her. She could have said let me see if I can move it up some, or something to make me feel like a customer rather than a pain in her butt.
So if your the manger of that pharmacy I would recommend doing a secret shop on your team, I will fill my prescriptions in Newberg or at Walgreens.

This store is a bit smaller I think than the one on Lancaster that I am used to. But other than the weird layout compared to what I am used to this is a nice older Fred Meyers. Never had any problems other than trying to find things. :p

If I had the option for just reviewing the bakery here, it would be one star, but because I like most of the rest of the store I have it three.
I had had their cake once and really enjoyed it (this was before I found out I had to be gluten free) so my mom tried to get my cake here a couple years ago. Well, they completely lost the order and when she called again about it, they still didn’t do it right. Fast forward to a little while ago and mom thought she would give them another chance and order my brother’s cake. They would not help her whatsoever about customizing the cake, writing his name, etc on it. They were very rude and so we went to Safeway instead where they didn’t even bat an eye and said no problem. No lost order and it was ready on time there. We definitely will not go to Fred Meyer again for any bakery needs because they apparently can’t hire competent people who are interested in helping people in any way.
For the rest of the store, sure I’d recommend going there. but definitely not their bakery!

Although this is the FM closest to my house, I rarely go here because the selection is the worst of all the FM’s in the area. The one in South Salem is the newest and is the only one that has Boar’s Head meats in the deli. They also have a better selection of housewares and furniture. However, the real reason this place get’s my 2 stars isn’t the selection, it’s the service. I stopped in here on my way home from work the other day to pick up some stuff from the deli. They advertise as closing the deli at 9p but when I got there at 830p and asked for some sliced turkey, the lights were off an everything was covered in the cases and the guys were already wrapped up to go home. He said they were closed for the night, the manager wanted them to be out of there by 830p. Well, then they shouldn’t be advertising that they are open til 9p. Obviously the manager wants to cut corners with the payroll at the expense of the customers. This location is too far from the others to get to another deli by 9pm, so I went home empty handed and they’ve lost my business. For better service, try the Fred Meyer on Market Street, the gals that work in the deli there are super helpful and they have 40% off rotiserie chickens and half off stuff in the hot case between 8−9p. You can get a whole chicken for $ 3.49! This is my new stop on the way home from work.

**Regarding the deli**
The store is fine, but the deli service and setup is incredibly awkward, unorganized and lacking good seating. Especially compared to other Fred Meyer’s around the NW. The selection was lousy, although I did arrive at 4. Too bad.

I am really impressed at how much organic and local items this Fred Meyer carries. The organic items are also reasonably priced which is awesome. I use this FM a lot because it’s close to my house, and honestly I like it better than some of the others. The staff is always really friendly and helpful, and they are great about opening new check out lines when the others start getting long. Nothing irritates me more than long check out lines that take forever to get through.
Thanks FM!

Went here at about 7pm on July 4^th, expecting for it to be closed. It was not. Kudos to FM for being open when we needed tortillas for burritos (what’s unAmerican about that?). Sorry to the employees that were working at 7pm on the 4^th of July.
We got: tortillas (flour and wheat), Tillamook Vanilla Bean ice cream and fresh blueberries (2 pounds for $ 4.99).
They were giving away free shit at this location (!(?)). I hadn’t seen this before, but they announced over the loud speaker that they were have a marketing give-​away between the florist and furniture sections, «where the laser light is shining on the ceiling.» Ms. K. and I were intrigued/​tempted/​suckered and so over we went. Well apparently they were giving away shammy-​mop-​somethings, but we were scared away by the little platform that predicted some infomercial-​esque occurrence. We bailed. Quickly.
It’s a Fred Meyer. You shouldn’t be surprised by anything here (Chase bank, F.M. Jewelers, etc.).
