Fred Meyer

Fred Meyer: My Go-To for Everything!" Fred Meyer truly stands out as a one-stop shop, and my local store consistently delivers a positive shopping experience. What I appreciate most is the sheer variety under one roof – it's incredibly convenient to pick up groceries, household essentials, clothing, electronics, and even garden supplies all in a single trip. This saves so much time and hassle compared to visiting multiple specialized stores. The grocery section is always well-stocked with a great selection, from fresh produce to local favorites and all the pantry staples. I often find competitive prices, especially when taking advantage of their digital coupons and weekly ads. The deli and bakery sections are also fantastic, offering delicious options for quick meals or special occasions. Beyond groceries, I've had great success finding quality items in their home goods, apparel, and electronics departments. It's surprising how often I'll pop in for milk and walk out with a new shirt or a gadget I didn't even know I needed! The staff at my local Fred Meyer are generally friendly and helpful, always willing to direct me to an item or assist with a question. The store is usually clean and well-organized, making for a pleasant shopping environment. In a busy world, the convenience, variety, and reliable service at Fred Meyer make it an indispensable part of my routine. It truly lives up to its "hypermarket" reputation, making every shopping trip efficient and satisfying.

They have a great selection and always lots of things on sale. High quality produce and I like that there are so many organic products available. So many locally made products, and everything is labeled so it's easy to buy organic and local if that's what you prefer. Nice garden section as well. I bought a few plants there and they are all still healthy. It's really worth signing up for the Rewards card. I was surprised how much the total price decreased after scanning my rewards card. I didn't realize at first that there was an upstairs with even more items. Groceries are downstairs, household goods are upstairs. Maybe that's obvious to everyone else but me, but I didn't realize until an employee directed me upstairs when I couldn't find something. Being in the city, it's nice that the parking lot is a decent size. I haven't had any trouble getting a parking space so far. Great place to shop overall.

This is the best Fred Meyers in Portland. Staff is very friendly and the bathrooms are always clean

Great store. Ample parking. Lots of security. Friendly and helpful staff. I loved this original store with the escalators to the second floor. Great inventory with plenty of things on clearance for me to look through. Easy found everything I was looking for.

I hate grocery shopping. Especially at these huge mega-Fred Meyers. It’s great to have everything under one roof, except when you just wanna get one thing and get out. This Fred Meyer is huge, for an urban location… but I was glad to come by today as I found a huge selection of healthy protein powders I never expected to find at a Fred Meyers. So I guess it helps to shop in person, and peruse the isles every once in a while.

Fred Meyer is reliable. Update. In the organic produce section, the employee was stocking kale or some kind of leafy greens. The kale was in dirty tubs, and the dirty tubs were stacked on other open tubs of kale. In other words, it was very unclean.

Fred Meyer is a unique retail experience that combines grocery shopping with a wide array of general merchandise under one roof. Known for its one-stop shopping convenience, Fred Meyer offers everything from fresh produce and groceries to clothing, home goods, and electronics.

In terms of atmosphere, Fred Meyer tends to maintain a clean and organized environment, which enhances the shopping experience. The combination of convenience, variety, and quality makes Fred Meyer a go-to destination for many families and individuals looking to simplify their shopping trips. Overall, Fred Meyer stands out as a reliable and comprehensive retail option, providing a blend of grocery and general merchandise shopping that meets the needs of a diverse customer base.

For the most part this Fred Meyer has amazing staff. Gary is amazing! Nick is great. Michael, also friendly. And then there is Larry who, bless his heart, knows the true meaning of customer service. He says "hello" back when you speak to him, he starts conversations, etc. 5-stars for all of those names and then some. Then you have a full-time day person in electronics that is so unfriendly and un-attentive that he will go out of his way to turn around or hide when he sees a customer coming. Every other employee will offer to look in the back if something not out on the floor. This guy somehow never has anything in the back, doesn't speak kindly of other staff members and somehow still has a job. I have killed this guy with kindness and still, months later, he makes my experience there so awkward that I'd rather drive miles to another Fred Meyer than 3 blocks from my house. When I start off my day, walk into this Fred Meyers and say "hello" to a staff member that clearly knows me (or should), the last thing I would expect is for them to not only ignore my kindness, but completely ignore what they know I am there for (or should by now) based on how many times I come in per week and how much I spend.

this is not my first time shopping at this fred meyer, and it definitely won't be my last! found these delightful "Cheese Bits", which are essentially just teeny tiny mozzarella balls, perfect for popping in your mouth on the go. I got the wasabi flavored ones, but I believe they also had smokey flavored and plain. And what's even better is the fact that they were at a reduced price, it must be my lucky day! they were originally 5.99, which i admit is a little steep, but after tasting them i can say it is well worth it. i'll definitely be back to explore the hawthorne fred meyer cheese section VERY soon. cheers xoxo

This is, reluctantly, the grocery store I'm visiting most often these days. Their parking lot is crazy, but they do have some additional spaces on the rooftop. I often charge my EV at their EV charging stations, and they usually have one to three (out of four) that are out of service. They've increased security in the store as well as self checkouts, so staff does their best but the level of customer service is fairly low. It's quite a large store, so selection is broad. Pick up has always been easy. Prices are not the best in Portland. I don't enjoy using their app, especially since they limit the number of coupons you can clip.

This is specific for the pharmacy. I got here ten minutes ago. The first photo is all of the people waiting. The second is the number of employees helping said people (zero). I counted - there are FIVE people back there and not one is helping us.

Store is chaotic and poorly organized. The last time I was there the cashier just threw all my groceries on the belt haphazardly and wouldn't put them in a bag or even tell me I needed to do it myself. Super rude when I'd done nothing.

misleading sales add. The tricky wording confuses shoppers so they don't actually get the sales price because they don't understand what is required for the discount.

I enjoy the convenience of my neighborhood Fred Meyer and largely I am happy with the products and services they offer. That being said, they have an ongoing issue with customers bringing pets into the store. Let me be clear, I am not referring to ADA authorized service animals. I am referring to dogs on a leash, running free and in the shopping cart. There seems to be no real effort made to deter customers from bringing dogs into this location, as well as others I shop at. It is against the law to bring pets into a restaurant, grocery store or establishment preparing food. It is a ODA Health and Safety violation. I have brought this problem to Fred Meyer Management's attention for years, but have yet to see anyone (security, manager on duty or greeter) confront a customer coming into the store with a dog. The policy amongst Fred Meyer staff seems to be, "don't ask, don't tell." If you see a customer in the grocery store with a dog that is obviously a pet and not an ADA approved service dog, please speak up. Some customers are oblivious to the rule/policy and others just don't care. Dogs are great and bring endless joy to our lives. But they can carry disease, sniff/lick food products or defecate/urinate in the store, not to mention bite you if they feel threatened. Leave your dog at home or in the car, please.

Fred Meyer located in the Hawthorne neighborhood. Oh boy does this place get busy for its (small) size. Parking isn't as big as it should be- parking is on street level and also the upper deck too, which helps. Oh, and charging stations down on street level! Associates are super nice and the place is relatively clean and stocked (depends on vendors). There isn't a Starbucks, but a chase ATM inside. Get here first thing at 7am to beat the crowds. I believe there is a bus stop just outside too. No clothes at this location, I think more of just a marketplace- Home Dept is here though upstairs! 4 stars for not much parking.

The pharmacy staff is AWFUL. I can't believe the difference between this location and Johnson Creek. For Hawthorne, I have to wait on hold about 15-20 minutes every single time I call their pharmacy (Why????). And when I do finally get ahold of them, they are totally rude. They also have ZERO communication with each other and other pharmacies. The lines are insanely long. Ever think of staffing up a bit more? GO TO JOHNSON CREEK INSTEAD!!! Their pharmacy staff is 1000x better. They answer their calls immediately, no holding. They're quicker, nicer, more communicative, their lines move fast because they have multiple staff helping at a time, and they actually treat customers like human beings. Fix your shit Hawthorne.

Love this Fred Meyer! I've been coming here for months and only recently realized there was an upstairs...must be blind to have missed the escalators leading upstairs haha. Well upstairs is a whole new world for home/office and I bought the most amazing cordless vacuum I found up there (on sale too!!!). Downstairs is all grocery/toiletries and this Fred Meyer has a great selection of chips! They have tons of the Siete brand here including salt and vinegar which is the best. There are always great deals on avocados and other produce here as well! Things I can't find at Safeway I know FM will have. The bottle return here is so convenient as well.

I shop weekly...what a great crew! Especially Mike and Joan at self-checkout and Kai at customer service. Always a pleasure Constance

This store raised the price of their own Carbmaster low carb bread from 4.49 to 7.69 a loaf. Small loaf to begin with and over a three dollar raise. I'm mad enough to no longer shop at Fred Meyer's. Simply insane rise in price

I've shopped here since 1998 and have seen this location undergo several transformations over the last two decades. The first remodel was basically updating all the equipment and giving a new paint job to the interior and exterior. The more recent remodel included a reorganization, putting electronics, sports, toys etc. upstairs and all grocery downstairs. These days Fred Meyers is one of the most busy grocery stores in the Hawthorne neighborhood. It is a go-to for all items with a fairly good grocery selection. Regulars should register for the rewards system to begin enjoying the benefits. There are several entrances, including two on the first floor and one on the second floor. Second floor parking is a lot easier and can be accessed from Hawthorne st by turning at the Bank of America. If available try the Moonstruck chocolate. It makes a great gift for loved ones.

I've made the pharmacy at Fred Meyer Hawthorne my pharm of record because the of helpful, caring staff, who manage to remain calm even under the pressure of long lines of customers needing assistance. The pharmacist, Dr. Sasan, is professional, courteous, informative and very good at giving painless shots! Thank you!

Pros: electric vehicle charging is fast if pricy and crowded. Lots of selection and a large store in a neighborhood where thats uncommon. Prices are good. Cons: water dispenser for Primo is for no apparent reason on the opposite side of the store from the parking lot. You have to walk thru the whole store w your water bottles to refill them. Makes no sense. Pretty sure the Chase atm is unneeded given theres a Chase literally across the street, maybe put the water there? Also the security situation is silly. They have multiple greeters and armed officers at their doors. Last I checked they sell groceries there not gold bullion. Employees are generally nice tho which I like. They should consider having less Miller cheese and more selection for cheese. :)

It is clear that this specific Fred Meyer is a victim of thievery, as when I went to the upper floor, all the self-checkout machines were closed. In addition, when I went to buy some pencils and pens, the whole aisle was locked up, and you needed to press a button for an associate to unlock it for you. Fred Meyer is a busy place, so you could end up waiting for a long time before you can get your product. I understand thievery is a big issue is the city of Portland, but Fred Meyer taking these drastic steps makes it frustrating to shop at.

Always very slow because they choose to be understaffed. Very long waits o and management does not seem to care 1 bit.

I scheduled an order pick up with an available window. When I pulled in, it was just me waiting, and I was 2 minutes after my pick up window started. After 10 minutes past my scheduled window with no order, 2 other cars had already arrived after me and left with their pick up before me, being helped instantly. The clerk informed me that it would be 10-15 more minutes and it wasn't ready yet, despite me following the protocol of waiting for the pick up window and selecting 'on my way' to notify the attendants. Mildly annoying, however I was okay to wait 10 minutes. In reality, it was not "10-15 minutes", and 3 more cars arrived much later than I did and left with their pick up order after waiting less than 2 minutes. Finally after waiting in my car for 30 minutes (double what I was told the wait would be) in the direct sunlight on the hottest day of the week, I walked to the pick up area to again ask the status and it STILL was not ready. I waited over 30 minutes. To add salt to the wound, one of the items was incorrect. As a customer, it's very frustrating to be told to arrive at a specific time only for the order to not even be close to ready and have to bake in a hot car. I understand the unforeseen happens but it would have taken less than 2 minutes to notify me my order would be late and give me a realistic timeframe.

After pushing the get help button, waited 20 minutes for someone to show up with keys to unlock a cabinet. Asked two employees for help during that time. No one came and I left.

I was blown away by this place. I didn't even know how fun it could be to wander around a Costco-like store and be so captivated. I loved this place even though I only bought a few things I knew if I needed anything else they would have it.

We went shopping at the Johnson Creek store on Thursday. There were plenty of staff members in every department. They were so helpful. Even after we had checked out the young woman who bagged our groceries offered to help me review how the app log in worked. We also had our vaccinations there a couple of weeks ago. I'm a Fred Meyer fan.

This Freddy's location is just OK. Since I've been walking in Laurelhurst Park during Pandemic for change of scenery, I've stopped here a number of times. I find the footprint of this store to be confusing and I spend way too much time just trying to figure out where an item would be. If I had time for the "treasure hunt" maybe it wouldn't bother me so much but right now it's about getting in and out quickly and with intent, this is not the store! Upstairs, downstairs, outside - it's too much for me. Was able to grab some bread, butter, cream for my coffee and an orange begonia to replace the one I bought last week and got decapitated by the wind! So in all, a productive shopping trip but not an experience I could say I enjoy. Plenty of parking in their own lot behind the store but the aisles are tight so do be careful.

Cameron thank you for telling me where the cake was in the store I had some good dabs and edibles for breakfast when I woke up and that made my day thank you so much

I sure wish we had Fred Meyer in L.A.; this place is amazing! It's like Kroger on steroids. Like if Walmart was pleasant. I came in for snacks and ended up walking through the entire store, picking up a Portland souvenir hoodie along the way. Definitely one of the treasures of the Great Northwest.

Oh Fred Meyer, how I miss you. Your wide clean aisles. Your fruit so fresh it almost talks dirty. Friendly employees. Reasonable prices. This location has a small gardening area. Some electronics, sports and toys are upstairs. I can almost always find what I need here, though when I lived in Portland, this was not my usual go-to location. There is a dedicated parking lot next to the building, as well as roof top parking. There have been many transformations over the years since my first visit back in 1998, and I am sure there will be many more. But the name remains constant.

This Freddies is not bad, really should be a 3.5 star review. I have a long history of shopping here and have seen it change a lot since I was a child. Store is smaller than the ones that became my staple locations as an adult but it works without issue. Store is clean and stocked as expected it should be, seems well staffed and such. it has a different vibe to it that just seems to take away from it, not an uncomfortable feeling when shopping there but still a strange sense about it. The customers in here are hit or miss as well, some are just rude as all hell and really should not look down their noses at others. I don't mid the store, it is just not my favorite to shop at.

COSTCO CROSSED WITH TARGET AND LOCAL PRODUCTS Fred Meyer is like a Super Target with more selections and an emphasis on local items. You know you're in Portland when the beer aisle is massive. Kudos for highlighting homegrown goodies such as handcrafted Ruby Jewel ice cream sandwiches, which are cheaper here than at the ice cream parlor. Their organic section is bigger than most, and prices overall rival everyone's except Trader Joe's. Sure there are clothes, dishes, and more available, but I popped in here for groceries. Forget about finding anyone to help you, though. The only place I spotted employees were at the check out stations or a counter. Walk or take public transportation if you can. The parking lot is always packed.

Sorry to see a top rated lo al store slowly turning more and more a poorly managed, poor customer service, little or no knoledgable staff. Conversion to self check out lines and intentionally mislabeling or wrong price lable placement on shelves. The problems are many and list is getting longer. Before covid was hard enough to get help now is much worse. Part due to not paying enough, part due to corporate policies. Not happy and every time I visit I know why I don't want to visit or visit less or as little as possible.

Seriously? I need an employee to buy a freaking nail file? I'll patronize somewhere else that doesn't assume I'm a shoplifter.

I am deeply troubled by the Fred Meyer commercials discarding fruit and vegetables that aren't perfect in presentation. These particular items are still edible. There are so many individuals who don't have the financial resources to afford these items. I am horrified to think of this much waste happening.

Trader Joe's cashiers are truly unbearable. That's why I go to Fred Meyer, where I expect a certain level of corporate coldness.

Good to know that there still are supermarkets in Fred Meyer. I was starting to get hipstered out. Parking is plentiful in the lot out here. As a Canadian, the best things for us here are the awesome snack selection (there are way more flavours of chips here than in Canadaland, for example), and of course, the cheap, cheap booze. Nothing like tax-free snacks to make a road trip just that much better.

I am totally breaking up with this Fred Meyer. I know it's closer to my house than the one on 82nd, but there's always Safeway and Winco. I may change my mind, but for right now, I am really mad. Not as mad as I was at the store, but mad enough to vent. So, I drive 2.5 miles to buy a dozen eggs for $.57 - which my elderly mom called to tell me about. Unbeknownst to me, until I am checking out, I have to have the rewards card AND the app. I only have the card. They will not honor the sale price and I leave - empty handed. My mom doesn't have the app, because she has a flip phone, and her Fred Meyer in Clackamas honors the sale prices for her. I used to have the app but all of a sudden, I can't get sale prices without the card. I don't want the card. My wallet is full enough. But, I gripe and the Fred Meyer worker I am griping to tells me to go home and have their customer service link my card to my app so I don't have to carry the card. Sounds good - until I call and get someone with broken English who tells me that cannot be done and that the app creates a new rewards number - that never matches your card. Irritated, I deleted the app, because I'm told I really just need the card. Not so. I learned that tonight when I left the store without eggs (which went from $1.99 to $1.29 with the card; the regular price at Winco). Why don't I want the app? Because my phone is running low on memory and there are apps much more important than one that will get me eggs for $.57. All this said, I will still shop at Fred Meyer - because the ones in the burbs make exceptions for their customers. I just won't go to this one unless I am really, really, desperate.

lovely vegan and vegetarian selection! everything is priced well and there is something for everyone. nice grocery store.

I have a love hate relationship with this location. The parking lot is a fright...no matter what time of day. The employees are not very courteous when you are checking out and good luck getting assistance if you need anything while wandering around the store. This location also does not have the best produce for some reason.

The older man working in the home electronics department was incredibly rude and dismissive. He was having a conversation on a mobile phone while 'helping' me find what I needed. When I said that what he pointed to was not the genre of product I asked for he looked at me silently until I walked away and left. It was laughably bad service.

One more thing. Give Tori a raise if you haven't already. that girl works harder than a rodeo clown. I love her so much. She needs her own employee of the pandemic photo up in there or a bench out front with her name on it. Also I better see my star greeter in some white kicks soon! Happy Memorial Day!! This is the best store on the strip!

Parking lot staff are rude and disrepectful....don't recommend going here. Also the place is highly crowded

Hawthorn Fred Meyer refuses to honor receipts! According to Jamie the manager, Fred Meyers new corporate policy is to no longer issue cash refund's in 2023 (they will only pay in Fred Meyers gift certificates on items over a hundred dollars), Jamie says it's the new 2023 Fred Meyer corporate Policy! However Hollywood Fred Meyers refunded my cash and honored my receipts (especially because I paid with a credit card). Rachel the manager had never heard of "no cash policy" that Jamie claims exist in 2023!

Great store and very convenient for my daughter. Great produce, healthy options and all around great selection. Parking lot is kind of tight but can't really do anything about that. Aisles are spacious (unless people are in your way or leave the cart in the middle or walk on the side of their cart ). We wanted to get a combination lock but the lock was under lock and key. One of the employees called over the PA that we needed assistance. This crabby elderly lady came and mumbled something, opened the lock, gave my husband the item and walked away. She then ventured on her way with her cart doing who knows what. Obviously, she didn't want to be there and it showed. My expression must have been shocked and I was ready to say something but my husband gave me the look to cool it. Check out was good!

Really awful Covid procedures. I can't in good conscience shop here because of the obvious lack of concern that management has for staff. They've taken almost none of the steps that other grocery stores like New Seasons have taken: - website says capacity is managed digitally, but from experience there is no apparent capacity cap. the two times I've gone, there were tons of people in the store and no line outside. social distancing was not possible in the store. - website says that face-coverings are mandatory, but some customers were not wearing masks - no hazard pay or additional discounts/benefits for staff - no paid time off for staff caring for family with Covid19 - no directional markings on aisles - unclear if this location has special hours for high risk individuals +1 star because "Scan, Bag, Go" seems helpful

The checker threw all my groceries in a pile and didn't put anything in a bag, just moved on to another customer without any communication or explanation. Just left a pile of food at the end of the counter for me to deal with. I couldn't even find a bag

My dog is sick, which is stressful. The vet suggested that I try a Fred Meyer pharmacy; that the prescription may be cheaper there. So I went, and it was a terrible experience. The first woman trying to help me kept mumbling, and even though she was behind the counter in the blue technician coat, it was like she expected me to facilitate the transaction. When I tried to give her information / answer her mumbled questions, she would look at me confused and then smile like she wanted to laugh... Imagine your family pet or your grandparent or your child or spouse was just diagnosed with something that's going to take several months, lots of money, lots of time to heal and make better. Then you go to a pharmacy where someone treats your situation and your distress like a joke. If that sounds fun to you, then head on down to Hawthorne FM! :) Sarcasm because I'm annoyed and frustrated... To keep from jumping over the counter and fatally shaking this technician with zero customer service skills, I said no thanks and returned to the line - for another technician. But Mumbly Technician, as I'll always remember her, kept talking at me from her workstation. Even when I repeatedly said "No thanks, I'd like to work with someone." And thought "Could not be more awkward. Unnecessary. No means no in every situation. Just don't do that ever absolutely never. Move on; there are others you can (try to) help... In other words, I have told you I'm stressed and you're making it worse!!" I stayed in line, needing a technician with sensitivity and common sense. Just for kicks, when I was working with the second technician - who efficiently and quickly set up my FM account, asked succinct and clear questions, and also understood my responses - Mumbly Technician went to a colleague in the back area and was clearly whispering about me. Which isn't professional or respectful. And it may even even illegal - PHIPA and HIPPA, right? Not to mention terrible and tacky timing - I mean, effing gossip about the encounter after I leave the pharmacy. Yes, I'm stressed. But I am also together enough to provide last name, phone number, and other personal health information - when the interaction is normal, like with the second technician. I usually go to Walgreens, where technicians are patient, professional, procedural, and explain a pharmaceutical step I may not know about - I almost didn't experience that at Hawthorne FM Pharmacy. Atrocious and rude customer service. It is the very last time I will ever fill a prescription at any Fred Meyer. Go to Walgreens because they're better.

Fred Meyer is pretty consistent at every location. Nothing exceptional just your standard grocery store. I will say, I always go to this location in particular because the layout is less overwhelming for me. They have groceries on the first floor and home goods on the second floor. This layout is a lot easier to shop in than the traditional one level, I think at least.

When I lived in Seattle, Fred Meyer was the closest affordable grocery store to my apartment. I didn't shop there because it was a nice grocery store, I shopped there because it was convenient. It was my back up plan when I could't find what I needed at the neighboring Trader Joe's. Imagine my surprise when I stopped into this Fred Meyer on a recent trip to Portland and found: a conveyor belt of sushi, a Murray's Cheese counter (with samples), a large organic section, and a GROWLER FILLING STATION with SIXTEEN different craft beers on tap. Unbelievable! The prices here are still the same as the old Fred Meyer, rock bottom, but the new perks at this location are anything but same old. A growler filling station - somewhere in the South a Kroger store is weeping.

This is the holy grail of grocery. I love this place. Prices aren't astronomically high due to location, they're the same as any other Fred Meyer. They have anything you could possibly need, including fresh conveyor belt and prepared sushi, hot prepared meals, Moonstruck chocolates, and specialty items (or things I haven't found elsewhere, such as PB2 and Walden Farms). The deli counter has been phenomenal every time I've been here. Their garden center prices are lower than most places and for the smaller space they have a great selection. They are lacking in two areas: a clothing section, food storage (I'm kind of a lunch tupperware freak). I don't buy clothes at Fred Meyer, so whatever. The chocolates and sushi make up for what's lacking. I can't live without my PB2.

I was in here briefly and did not see a black basket to take my items. So, I shopped around, and then had a handful of items at the end in my arms to take to the check out. Well, that's just life, now isn't it!? As I was walking to the register, however, a security guard was walking around. And, walked right past me! OMG - he had a brandished GUN. I mean, really? Can you not do your job without your GUN being shown so outright? Not to get on the subject, but what does it have to be OUT? Can you not conceal it, in the event of a real danger? How many 'shoplifters' has your 'brandished gun' actually deterred? How many people look at you with sheer disdain and at other times, fear as a result of your 'brandished gun' hanging on your hip? You have some type of hand gun - fair enough. But, why do you have to SHOW IT? People from say, Italy, or Belgium would look at you in shock. Then, run away from you with all of their children, too! If you actually had to use your body to chase a 'shoplifter' down would you be able to do so? Are you physically fit? Or, would you rather have 'the gun' do all the work for you? Continue to brandish your gun, you 'security guard.' I am sure Mr. Fred Meyer would approve of you trying to scare innocent shoppers who simply do not have a cart to push around. Have a nice day. :)

The Hawthorne Fred Meyer is unique among all the other Fred Meyer stores for several reasons. First a little bit of a negative but it is what's called a marketplace store and they have extremely limited apparel basically a selection of some socks and underwear. Seasonally they do have winter gloves, scarves and hats. Next for those looking for organic produce they boast having over 200 options. The beer and wine selection is absolutely amazing as is the fresh meat department, service deli and they even have a rotating belt sushi bar that opens for lunch at 11. There is a groller station with 16 beers too. I've always been pleased with the help and courtesy of the associates and they all seem to go out of their way to make my shopping experience pleasurable.

They have the nerve to have a beer/wine bar, and the men's restroom can be smelled from the hallway. Devastatingly disgusting. Then, I go into the stall, toilet seat soaked. I used a total of four toilet seat protectors. Three, I placed on the seat before I squatted. The fourth I used to wipe myself. Sorry to be so graphic, but it's because there was no toilet paper, and I'm pissed. Oh and the security guard has a gun! Wow!

To be honest this is the 1st time I have had issues at Nampa Fred meyers. Went in for the large ceramic bird bath on sale in their advertisements ...to my disappointment they would not honor their ad saying that the printer had made an error. I spoke with seven different people before the manager of the gardening area finally came out, 45 minutes later, and told me what was going on. in the in the past they have always honored their advertisements with me. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth for shopping there in the future :-(
