Grocery Outlet

This has instantaneously become my new favorite grocery store in town! I am IN LOVE with the fact that it is black owned in one of the blackest neighborhoods known to South Central LA. It's beautiful to see my people doing big things. The bargains are definetly to die for and the this outlet offers a variety of organic food vendors for an affordable cost. I walked down the isles just to get a glimpse of the basics and I'm happy to report that the deals are very sound and proficient towards aiding those on a budget. You can still get healthy food, eat healthy home cooked meals for an affordable cost. If you couldn't tell already.. the Wine section is my new favorite area to peruse , and look at those beautiful low prices!! They definetly made a loyal customer out of me.

This store is full of surprises !! Items you will not find in chain grocery stores. Take the shopping cart in with you. I recommend the sauces, Asian food and cereals!!! Great price on meat and cheese too!!!

Unfortunately this location is the worst of all Grocery Outlets Ive been to. Its also the smallest. The inconsistency of products makes it hard to shop at times; I usually have to go to Food4Less right after my visit to fulfill my shopping needs. The produce and healthy snacks are sometimes old and not stored at the right temperatures, meaning chocolate could have been melted and then shelved or vegetables are a bit withered.

Great place to buy discount items but may not have what you may be looking for

I called at 2:15 pm today I asked the dumb lady over the phone if they had turkey injectors and she had said yes. I came over to the store 15 mins after that walked around the store looking for the item and no where to be found so I proceed and ask this rude lady over at the cash register. She had no idea who was on the phone and said she probably left… which makes no sense but anyways she was rude so I asked for the manager and he was rude as well and couldn’t provide me the name of the woman over the phone because I plan on calling corporate because they clearly wasted my time. Instead of making a report on the lady over the phone I’m reporting the cashier and manager for being rude to me. I’ve been coming here for the longest and this is the rudest they’ve been and I’ll no longer be coming to this location for such poor service. They shouldn’t hire young people to work here clearly they didn’t finish their education. The lady in the front was very nice I didn’t catch her name along with the security guard they seem to be older and have more knowledge and were kind and understanding. Get help grocery outlet.

Nice store small but very nice and EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Great job Kelise.

Eugene and his team does a great job!

I absolutely love this Grocery Outlet location. The staff here is excellent. They are kind, courteous, and pleasant every time I visit. Great job staff.

On my resent visit to Grocery Outlet #304 in Compton, on August 21, 2024 at 0130pm, I encountered a rude and unprofessional cashier. Denise M. cashier #0312 never greeted me nor make eye contact. She only responded to me after I greeted her. After ringing up my groceries, I let her know that I have my own bags. she said, "new rule; if you bring your own bags, you must bag your own food". I know this isn't true, but, I didn't complain, I just bagged my stuff and call the manager when I got home. This is not the first time I've encountered a rude and unprofessional cashier at that store. Obviously, it's the culture of that Grocery Outlet. I know, it was the last time I will ever shop there again!

This Grocery Outlet ain't it. Hate to say it b/c I've gone here a lot, but it has gone down hill in just under two years. They never have prices on things and they're the worst stocked GO by far. Any of the Pasadena locations are way better.

I miss working at the location! During work, I see people I know or used to know! Best day part! A black owner owns this Compton location! I have less time to visit the location where I worked because I'm having less card funds to go take Lyft! Real disappointing! If I could change something, I could have a part time job there and make more money! I did lots of good work!

The altruist in me wants to scream to the heavens about this place that it is the Big Lots of grocery stores and will always now be my first place to go to shop before anywhere else. The stingy miser in me does not want too many people to know about this place out of worries that if it becomes overrun then there will be nothing left for me. If you live within 20 min of one of them, it would behoove you to check them out. They don't have a huge selection but they have a FASCINATING selection. Very eclectic, but it's often really gourmand things, and because it is all contingent on what they get from close out deals. However, they have REALLY smart purchasers and snag REALLY good stuff! Always worth a trip! But don't go there too often and clean the store out: that will just piss me off, m'kay?

Been going there for years in the past everything was great new items. Great customer service today lines long every customer had to have a price check on something. They need to put the prices in the system so they don't have people waiting forever for them to do a price check on every other item!! Very disappointing !!

Not a very good place to shop anymore. Nothing is ever fresh. You will be waiting 30 minutes in the checkout line. All the kids and I mean kids are unprofessional and are on their phones.

Always has great deals!!! I love love, the Grocery outlet in Compton you get what you need and then you find something else at a great price and you buy that too!! No long lines great prices!!

this is my favorite grocery outlet in the area to go to buy far. I always find so many good deals on all kinds of namebrand things. There's a lot of different things in that shopping center as well. Always convenient parking I'm in and out. :)

Grocery Outlet in Compton! The friendly and welcoming atmosphere, coupled with a clean environment, made each visit enjoyable. Navigating the store is a breeze, and I always find my go-to item--those irresistible strawberries. A special shout-out to the involved store management and owner, contributing to a positive community connection. Please don't buy out the strawberries uncrossable they've found their spot!

One of the best small grocery stores. I love this place times hundred. The food prices are incredible the lowest ever. A phenomenal atmosphere and you never know what amazing bargain they will have. Quick tip double check the dates. I mean because the prices are so low it's gotta be a catch. Remember stock up on items. They will be gone next time you come There is always new items.

The store was unorganize unstocked crates all in The isles I was very disappointed. There were no vegan options to speak of outside of vegetables and fruits

"That ain't no purse." First words out of the security guard's mouth to me. No discussion of a bag policy just an accusation that I was trying to get away with something. I walked out. Will never shop there again. Well done, Security.

I definitely recommend this store. They are fully stocked with an assortment of items. I am definitely impressed. I heard the owner is a black women. Thank God for owners like this who think about the needs of the surrounding community. Go out and check this store out especially if your a Compton resident like my self.

I love this store !!!! I can always run in and out when in a hurry. Staff is wonderful and pleasant....Jaeloni is awesome ! Great customer service skills ....always so helpful

Store is clean with many young people working. Need to stock the locally grown lettuce again. I enjoy the healthy options the Compton offers and the music during my shopping experience.

While patronizing this community grocery store I loved that I saw a community of employees. I especially loved that they encourage, support and employ staff with developmental disabilities. A community store that believes in nurturing the community, through providing quality products and outstanding customer service.

The guy Ronald has horrible customer service and is racist they're only nice to there own kind there .. didn't say not one word to me the whole transaction but the lady before he was extra nice too don't waste your money here

The store is very clean. The prices in this store are impeccable. Some food items I've been wanting to try but we're too expensive on other stores, I was able to try the due to the deep discount. The produces are fresh. They also sell organic meats, meatless products and selection of other products but at a deep discount. They also have varieties of wine, liquor and beer. The employee's are helpful are new nice. No charge for bags.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would the manager Marquis was absurdly rude and ignorant when I came in with my emotional support animal, before asking he immediately makes a point he needs to see paperwork for a 8lb yorkie. Without being combative he says I can't just take your word of it. I never mentioned that I didn't have paperwork on me on not. Marquis the store manager has no training and it's ashamed because he made my experience shopping here unpleasant and for that reason alone I won't be shopping here again

I just visited this store and was mistreated by one of the managers, he said his name was Jesse. This man not only had an attitude problem, he also lacked management and customer service skills. I asked a cashier if she was open as her light was turned off and she said that she was and turned her light on. There were two people there when I joined the line, when it was my turn another cashier scolded her for not taking people from her line instead of allowing me and the people behind me to get in line. They had a brief exchange and then a "manager" came over and told her again, not to let people "cut", all while I am standing there. First rule of management- don't scold employees in front of customers! As I felt responsible (and by the way I never "cut" anyone), I interjected and said that I had asked her if she was open and that it wasn't my intention to cut or to get her in trouble. He rolled his eyes at me and said "she knows what I am talking about". I asked him not to roll his eyes at me as I was just telling him what happened and he did it again. I told him that he had rolled his eyes again and it was not professional of him. He then proceeded to tell me that he wasn't talking to me. At this point, I couldn't believe what he had just said but I was able to keep my cool which was a great thing. He proceeded to tell me to keep walking and get out the store several times. Second rule of management- manage situations! I can honestly say that I have never been treated that way by anyone. Needless to say, I will not be back and will make sure that I send this to his general manager and corporate office. If I could give them a negative star, I would. Other than this incident, I have been to this store several times as it's close to my job, it's on the smaller side- which I usually like and the items are reasonably priced and usually stocked but their selection is a tad bit limited- due to their size. This was an alternate store for me but I will find a different one.

This store has a leave your backpack at the front of the store policy. (With a cashier) That's fine. But the security guard saw me come in with my backpack, let me walk all the way to the frozen section before notifying me of the store policy. So yeah had to walk back and leave my shit. I only came in for one thing and feel like the security guard was being ridiculous. Probably won't come here again.

Lots of great things about this market: Many organic options at low prices. Niche items such as Braggs seasoning, fresh papaya & jicama, and Artic Zero ice cream that can't be found at a Ralph's/Vons/Food for less (usually available at health food stores or Sprouts which is not in our neighborhood and usually more expensive). Friendly staff. Local beers and wines. Clean and bright. Delightful owner who seems to be hiring locally. I will return.

Actually, I haf been coming to this store since it opened, and it's not in my neighborhood, but I was trying to put money into the community. I since was unable to walk/stand for a long period of time; therefore, I was limited to only coming when I had assistance. Surprisingly, someone told me that the store now has electric carts, or shall I say cart (1). I was excited to bring my sister, because she wanted to shop at the only Black owned grocery store in the county, or maybe even, the state. Today, I pull up to the store, and they did have an electric cart available, but security said that to use the cart, I must leave my driver's license in order to use. I refused to leave my license with some random person. So, one of the clerks was outside, and she told him that I didn't want to leave my license, so go on, and he walked on off. I went inside the store with my sister, but I decided that if they cannot accommodate me, I will never shop here again, and more importantly, I will stop recommending a store that will not accommodate a disabled person, unless they leave identification. It will save me money NOT to shop here, because I live in a surrounding city; I live near 3 major grocery stores, so my reason for coming here was strictly to help the community.

Just left grocery outlet on Rosecrans and Central. I will always patronize the store. I believe in giving young people a chance but this young lady needs a re-train by management. When the customer says "hi how are you", the proper response is not "do you need a bag".

This review is based on my wine experience. I know... wine at a bargain market? YES! HOLY COW, YES!!!!! Hands down the BEST deal you will find on great wines from all over the world. I had to text my boyfriend while I was there to let him know he'd be buying groceries later that week because I got a little crazy with my wine buying. I met the owner, Kia, while I was there and she was super friendly and make some great recommendations. The prices are seriously amazing. They have a great selection. Maybe not the largest you will ever find (it's not like going to BevMo), but what they lack in quantity they make up in quality and price. Their selection changes often, so if you find something that you love, go back ASAP to get more because they may not have it the next time you go by. I don't live anywhere near Compton, so I understand if you think it's a crazy trip, but if you're even remotely in the area it's seriously worth stopping by. You'll be in wine heaven. Cheers!

I needed to use the bathroom on the road and this was the cleanest, best smelling public bathroom I've ever been to and they had toilet covers so I could use the bathroom knowing that my bottom would not have germ on it. The stuff was really cheap and I got everything I needed for only 10 dollars

Customer service sucks starting to think it was because I'm latino not a response and behave of the staff when was asked a question really sad to see this attitude in plain 2021

The little big GROCERY STORE that could.This grocery store is located on the corner of Rosecrans and Central in the city of Compton. This grocery store was previously fresh and easy but the company left. Now it is a chain grocery store called Grocery outlet which this time happens to be BLACK OWNED. The new items are great, prices are perfect this store meets all my food needs and will be getting my business, I shop for a house hold of 5 every two weeks

Thank you Kia Patterson, for all you do to help our community thrive. This store has fresh fruit, great deals and a friendly staff. I will continue to support this store. May prosperity hover over this Grocery outlet.

This one has a bigger freezer section than the one by me in duarte. It clean and organized and has lot of things I haven't sen at other locations . That the beauty of this chain,they all carry the same general stuff but each one has other goodies here n there.

THIS Store is really organized amazing black owned and the cashier there all of them 7-9pm due a hell of a great job I recommend

Oh my god you try to support black business and I swear I am always disappointed went in to grocery outlet in Compton on Central bought some stuff total to 45dollars ice was being restocked cashier told me it would take 15min took my children to car and waited for the manger Chris to stock the ice parked in front of store to get the $.99 cent bag of ice this asked me for my receipt I explained to him my kids were in car left my receipt in car and what cashier help me I had to wait for them to find the cashier for . To 99 cent what type of customer service is that and would not give me the bag of ice I will never give my money to that store again I am sorry I told him really for a dollar bag of ice never again I am done .

I can't believe this is near where I live!! I buy mostly organic goods and grass fed beef.. I saved at least $250!! I walked out with 5 bags! One bag of groceries at sprouts runs me about $100. The facility is cleaned and organized.

My go to grocery store. I'm so glad to have them in the neighborhood . They have a nice selection of organic foods and you can't beat the prices. Excellent customer service. I highly recommend them!

I absolutely LOVED my experience. Everyone was so nice, and the music was refreshing, not to mention I got 6 full bags of groceries for a little over $60. It wasn't the closest grocery store, but it was absolutely worth it and I got to support Black business. I will be back!

This Grocery store is a great asset to the community. It's owned and operated by a member of the community and the products are competitively priced. Will continue to support this business.

Very clean store and friendly staff. I was happy with the prices, some items a little cheaper than my local Ralph's. I visited to support, and I will return even though the location is not that convenient for me.

Stopped en route on my way home since it was the closest one according to Google (on my phone). Ghetto parking lot (was being stared down by two thugs blaring rap music in a truck). Store was clean, and the selection and prices were good (either hit or miss depending upon location). Cashier was super friendly. Produce was still not as fresh as in other brand name supermarkets (seems to be the case with every Grocery Outlet).. Can't say I would return to this particular location, perhaps if I am in the area again.

I go here for just about everything I need. Its small, neat, with a great wine and meat selection. Fresh veggies. All for a slightly lower price than Food For Less. Hey they also have a Military Discount. The staff is courteous and kowledgable and can often be found cleaning or stocking shelves.

LOVE this store. They always have great selections of organic and natural food, the workers are always friendly & helpful, it's never crowded, and now to find out that it's owned by a young African American women makes the experience even better. I went to the store today to pick up a few things and as soon as I walked in, the owner was right there opening boxes, stocking shelves and greeting customers. She was working side by side with her employees. Our community is growing and very diverse, so it's exciting to see the viariety of ethnicities who live in the community represented have thriving businesses. Let's continue to support one another.

Stopped in to show some love. The place was smaller than i thought it would be. The options for products was not the best so i did have to swing by another grocery store after lol but all and all the staff was nice and the place had a fun and friendly vibe. There was a Dj out front and they kept ringing a bell when people spent over 100 bucks. Lol *i want to give like 3 1/2 stars*

Me and my wife took a ride to the cot to support this sisters store and we had a great experience and end up spending a few hundred bucks. Everything was clean and organized and the prices was just right. It was like shopping at sprouts but with better prices and more of the things my family needs and wants. Will be going back very Soon and very often

Oh wow!!! I absolutely love this store. Eugene, the new owner is very friendly and the quality and prices are GREAT! Security does a great job which is reassuring to me knowing that they are protecting their profit and will be around for a long time. I'm sure there is a reason for high security.... Definitely not the stores fault...??? Lol anyways thank u guys for coming into this neighborhood and standing up to the challenge, you're JUST what we needed!!!!

Ever since F&E up and left me, I've been waiting for something else to fill the void. When I noticed that construction workers were prepping that literal void for another grocery story, I had my doubts. I walked into Grocer Outlet Bargain Market (kinda a mouthful) and was instantly pleased with what I saw. Love the new layout. Good solid prices. And there is a good variety. I'll have to dig around some more to see what treats they offer. I have to say, I'm probably still going to miss some aspects of F&E, it was close to my heart, but GOBM is a solid alternative.

Glad to have a replacement for Fresh and Easy! Great quality of food (no expired items) Up to 70% discounted prices daily. Your not going to find every brand of every item here for instance the cereal selection is small. Not too many frozen dishes to choose from. You know the ones you cook in the microwave for lunch at work. There are 5 check out stands, but you'll be able to run in here and run out! So far I'm impressed. The store looks great and the layout works well. Im glad we have another alternative to Food4Less.

Don't know where to start I'm in disbelieve with the so called owners attitude this Kia lady needs to learn how to act like a classy lady at least when dealing with clients because of her unprofessionalism I am not returning to this store

Love shopping in this store. It was clean, you could find a lot of items that were at a great price. The staff looked like they enjoyed workin

Love this store!!..Met the owner @ the Compton CA. Location she was very warm & received. The selection is fantastic as well as the prices. I was Soo happy to see they arrived after Fresh & Easy departed. My history goes back to the Bay Area Store in Oakland CA. where I shopped for over a decade w/Grocery Outlet! The employees are very helpful & friendly to ensure your concerns are met!! Thank you..Grocery Outlet for your devotion to our community! Faheemah Hasan!

The workers are friendly very clean store....and you save big thats the best part of it all.
