Grocery Stores in Benicia, CA

“This is a great corner store. They tried to help out during the shut down by offering things you couldn't find in the grocery stores. Flour, corn meal, milk, bread. The staff is always helpful and are also part of the community. It gives me a warm feeling inside when I go grab Takis, Hot Cheetos, and Gatorade for my heathens, that they will be safe and watched out for if they stop by.”

“The best liquor/corner store in Benicia My friend and i hit up 5 different stores looking for a certain type of soda (Faygo) When we walked in, the associates offered us assistance and we asked them if they carried it They assisted us and thoroughly checked their inventory and we ended up finding what we were looking for They even offered to pour it up in cup with ice for us and I was surprised by the low price I paid for 4 drinks Overall a great shop with great service and great selections”

“Many shelves were COMPLETELY empty..not even price stickers on them! They've had empty shelves of wet cat food for months..the small amount of cat food they carry at all compared to half an aisle of dog food which is always full..they BLATANTLY mark up their prices double to cover their BOGO sales.. cereal for $8 a box when all the others of the same size were $4...they also do the same for their clearance 50% off area..it ends up being actually a little more than the items regular price..toothpaste 50% off from $10 down to $5..all you have to do is walk a few aisles to comparison shop..also..any free items on their app are NEVER in stock..since the app started I have NEVER found any free item there..Im told they never carried the item when I saw it there days before it went to "free" OR the price sticker is there even though they "dont carry it" or its covered up...the app is store specific btw so Safeway knows whats in the store..may be pulled to the back room but its there..I know this cuz Ive talked to Safeway about their app re their delivery...if it isnt in stock its not on the app..sooo I mean, I get it...the store needs to make money...but not having in stock items on the shelves AND locking up 90% of the liquor dept as well as others is NOT good customer service..especially when it takes an act of god to get someone to come to help a customer get their locked up item..then they show up annoyed or come all the way there to tell the customer they cant open the cabinet cuz they dont have the key and the person who does is on break..if a person finally gets their medicine or booze or whatever, they are then told their items will be at a certain register...and when youre ready to check out, your item isnt at that register so you have to start the process over...again..the store needs to make money, but there has to be a better way...I myself, if I know I need to get something locked up there will shop somewhere else..like the Rite Aid next door...they dont imply their customers are thieves like Safeway does...and btw...While waiting for my ride the other day I had to back up my cart as I was blocking a tiny older woman from exiting the store from the meat dept as she was wearing like a 5XL down knee length coat STUFFED with meat and seafood that was falling out of the coat..as I was told months ago watching a woman leave with an ENTIRE cart of laundry detergent while a manager took her picture, nothing can be done...You gotta do something!! Locking up the whole store, allowing people to load up carts to raise our prices that are already high, not stocking your shelves with product in stock, and not carrying one category of food (cat) and overstocking another (dog) is gonna send people elsewhere, speaking as someone with decades of retail management and loss prevention experience..”

“They could use another checkout person during the evening rush hours. They have a nice selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. There are a few more signs which helps. Also, the Raley's app doesn't indicate if an item is out of stock, which happens frequently at the end of the day or weekend. The recycling area is on the right front corner of building, while you're facing the building.”

“When you want a fast meal, the deli in Safeway is a good place to go. I come here a lot on my lunch break, i normally get a sandwich or sushi. I love that they cut meat and cheese fresh for you, if you get there around 9am you can see the sushi being freshly made, you also miss the lunch rush. Service is normally good, everything looks clean tidy, stocked and appealing.”

“We got some snacks, milk, and basic necessity last night from this store. I couldn't find where they had something. I asked for help and someone who was restocking and moving a huge pallets helped mefind what I needed. My kids and I appreciated the friendly and helpful staff. The service was great- the ambiance was clean and everything was price right .Thank you for helping.”
