Grocery Stores in Duarte, CA

“I love Grocery Outlet. Are you poor but crave organic/niche/specialty foods? Are you open to trying new and exciting brands you've never heard of? Then GO is the place to GO!
Warning: if you shop here for any substantial period of time, visiting Sprouts, Whole foods, Gelson's, and sadly Ralph's and even Target (which is now apparently a Kmart who thinks it's a Wholefoods/Macy's mashup and charges accordingly) ... may cause bouts of panic, impotent rage, sticker shock, price sweats, and a vague pangs of despair.
You'll see the exact same products on sale for several times what they cost at Grocery Outlet (Don't think you've gotten away, Erewhon; I've reserved a special circle of hell for you in an upcoming review ).
This Grocery Outlet has friendlier that average employees.”

“One of most organized Smart & Final I have ever been. All sections, including fresh produce are organized.
Plenty of parking, never had any issue for making quick stop to grab groceries from this location. Staff is polite, store is very clean.”

“Compared to the East Pasadena and the West Covina locations, this store is smaller and thus has a smaller selection. They still manage to stock my favorite salads in the produce section. The shelves are well stocked and store displays always appear organized and clean. Shout out to the loss-prevention guy for thwarting a smash-and-grab robbery on the night of Jan 12. As the thief tried to escape, she punched the poor employee in the face but he took the punishment like a champ. Too bad Target employees aren't allowed to fight back when thieves turn violent.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I want to give a huge shoutout to Leah at the Monrovia Walmart! I came in early yesterday with a ton of questions, and she went above and beyond. She answered every single one with professionalism, kindness, and patience—even while being bombarded nonstop. Leah is truly a superhero!
We need more people in the world like her. Walmart, what are you waiting for?! Raise and promotion needed here—come on guys!
God bless you, Leah, and thank you for making my experience such a great one. ?”

“I really like shopping at Walmart in Duarte California, but the last 2 times I go shopping at Walmart were around 8 pm on July 29, 2024, there is a person at the door and he is a racist person because I bought 5 things, I showed him my receipt, but he looked at us piece by piece. And he even allowed other people to pass without checking them, it may be because the lady who was coming back was tall and white, and he didn't check that lady even though she was carrying a lot of things. And today is the second time this has happened to me, that's why I think that that man who is at the Walmart door checking the tickets is RACIST?????and I say that man because he didn't want to give me his name, he was in the door on the side where people make returns. ”
