“Wow! I loved how carefully everything was packed and the customer service was fast when I asked about the shipping. You guys deserve 5 stars and now I know where to get Brazilian things for me and to send it to my sons! Muito obrigado ❤”
“Thank you for this location ?Always clean and organized, stocked well everyday. Friendly, helpful staff, enjoyed shopping at this location, while living in Redondo Beach, California.”
“I love grocery outlet on Artesia and ringe ln everytime I go in there great deals very friendly staff 2 thumbs up the staff always making sure you got help very talkative thank you ricio and the whole staff”
“Our family relocated from Culver City to the South Bay about 5 years ago. The butchers display the meats in a way that makes you want to try something new. All of the cashiers are friendly, and Larry is awesome! He greets customers with such enthusiasm while stocking the shelves, you would think he was one of the managers!”
“Everyone is friendly and helpful. The selection is good and I can usually find what I need. The prices are very competitive as well. I have to agree with one of the reviews about the bathrooms. If you have to go you may want to put it off, the bathroom is gross the smell is unbearable with a very strong urine smell and the drain on the floor was backing up. This was the first time using the bathroom at this S&F and I would have skipped the experience if it weren't an emergency. TO THE MANAGER...... If this were your bathroom in your home I would hope that you wouldn't want your family or guests to use it. We as loyal customers get an unwelcoming feeling that is contrary to the overall atmosphere on the sales floor when we walk into the bathroom. What is causeing this issue to not be addressed? Just curious. Update 3/2/26 the bathroom seems to be cleaner, and the smell was not as strong the last time I used the men's room.”
“Cool little liquor store to grab things & go if you're in the Redondo area. We have always liked going here when we needed a lighter or something to drink when we parked at the meters during sunset. ???⛱???⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐??”
“I was on my way to drop my kids off at school when I made a stop at a liquor store. I had the pleasure of meeting Robert, the employee who manages the store, and I must say he is truly exceptional. He is not only a very pleasant person to interact with but also exceptionally respectful and always ready to assist. It reminds me of the importance of supporting small local businesses like this one.”
“One Yelper on this review page noted that 'it actually takes a lot for most people to leave a review on a market' and I completely agree! I am writing this as a way to express my gratitude and honestly praise Hilary that was on the night shift last night, 8/13/2023. I came to this store to get some much needed items along with some fresh produce to cook a soup dinner last night. I found just about everything I needed and my cart was stocked! I love Smart & Final's pricing because they have products in bulk that's needed. My favorite are their sandwich bags, probably the best deal you'll get because I use those bags to store cut up veggies/fruits/ etc. It lasts me over a year but when I'm empty I make it a point to go to Smart & Final to get their sandwich bags. Anywho, back to my trip last night. I was looking for roasted peanuts still in their shell. There was a kind woman ahead of me in line, I left the line to try to look one more time for those peanuts because I wanted to bring home some good snacks for my boyfriend. I didn't find them and came back. I asked the check out clerk if they carried such peanuts and she gave me clear directions on where to go to find them, as I was leaving, the kind customer said she would load my cart for me! I was stunned, I thanked her immensely but let her know that was not necessary, I let her know I could unload it and run over to look for the peanuts! She insisted and I was in awe at the kindness of this customer who had already paid her for groceries and could have taken that time to leave but spent it helping me unload my cart. I found the peanuts and came back. The clerk ID'd me because I had a bottle of Line 39. She remarked and asked about my Hawaiian looks and I also had a Hawaii '86 shirt on. Her name she disclosed was Hilary and was such a pleasant person to interact with. I feel like she might have been management because the store was clean, when I came in to the store I saw her with a mop/cleaning bucket and I said hello to her. She asked her colleague who was a younger gentleman to collect all the carts and even stated she would assist him. If she is not in management she most definitely should be! I got a sense that she knows how to take care of a massive store and also be so incredibly pleasant to interact with. This review was to share that my experience at this Smart & Final was an unforgettable one and it was thanks to the kindness and amazing customer service from your employee Hilary! I look forward to coming back there more often now!”
“I brought a complicated coupon into the store and ended up holding up the line with it. My cashier worked tirelessly to solve the issue all while assuring me it wasn't my fault and courteously handling other costumers stuck behind me in line. Other employees came over to assist and talk to my children and overall be friendly and helpful.”
“Great Market and produce. Bakery and florist and butcher inside. Excellent service and they have timely pickup orders and delivery! Excellent beer and liquer selection.”
“This is my neighborhood Whole Foods and it’s becoming very very sad. They were out of everything I needed on a Thursday afternoon. I had to buy offbrands and not get what I needed and it was the most frustrating shopping experience! It seems it’s always something at this store. I don’t think the management is very good. Need to address that.”
“Great liquor store with an excellent selection and outstanding customer service! Fady was exceptional—very friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely went above and beyond to help. He recommended the Blanton’s Gold Edition, so I decided to give it a try, and I absolutely loved it. Great recommendation! You can tell he really knows his products and takes care of his customers. Definitely recommend this place, and a special shoutout to Fady for the amazing service!”
“I want to specifically comment on the produce section. Everything is displayed so artistically and appealing. Everything is in order and not just tossed in. It is obvious that the produce department takes great effort and ownership in their department and presentation.”
“Almost 5 stars! Really great food, but limited options in terms of meats. Occupies a corner of the liquor store, cash only, and no seating. Overall a great meal. The rice and beans were yummmmmy and comforting. That's a big deal for me. The tacos didn't have enough onion/cilantro, but I think the salsa made up for it. I loved how juicy the meat was, and it was also a lot more tender than I usually expect for carne asada and carnitas. The carne asada could have used some more seasoning or grilling flavor. Again, the salsa made up for it. In the end I was really impressed and would be glad to come here again.”
“Summer in the '80's was awesome. Daily beach visits complete with boogie boards, giant beach towels, Panama Jack Dark Tanning Oil and a Little Playmate filled with diet Coke and ice. If we didn't lunch at The Shack for a famous Shack burger, we'd procure snacks at the nearby fully equipped liquor store which in our opinion was a dream store filled with all the important snack items one would need for a successful day at the beach. By snacks I mean a tub of sour cream, Lipton onion soup and a big bag (or two) of Ruffles potato chips so we could make onion dip right on the sand. To this day none of us have any idea why we didn't prepare it all at home...even more perplexing was the fact we never had an implement to mix the sour cream and soup mix together. Thank goodness for my dual purpose hairbrush, in a pinch the handle was a perfect stirrer. Chalk that one up to whack-a-doodle young people.Variety. This is what I love about national grocery stores. Sure you pay a little more but have you seen the prices at those Organi-bland-veg-alterna-plant markets? They give a whole new meaning to "whole paycheck".Whether you need Frosted Flakes or European butter, diet Coke or milk alternative, produce in all colors of the rainbow or candies to satisfy your sweet tooth or liquor to stock a bar for an epic party you can usually find what you need and want at stores like Vons. For some reason it was June 20th then all of a sudden it was July 4th and dagnabbit I dropped the ball at prepping for the weekend barbecue. Too late (too lazy) to get in gear for potato and macaroni salads, ribs or anything close to a blueberry or apple cobbler. Nope instead I popped on over to Vons for deli prepared salads of macaroni and potato and all the fixins for gourmet burgers and Piña Coladas. I doctored up the potato salad with tarragon, sour cream and scallions and added red onion, cheddar cheese and orange bell pepper to the macaroni salad and just like that I had semi-homemade salads faster then you can say prestidigitation!Hand formed patties for bbq bacon cheddar burgers complete with fresh produce of green leaf lettuce, heirloom tomato, avocado and beer battered onion rings as a garnish or slap 'em on the burger for an extraordinary burger that would have cost you 25 bucks at any of those trendy burger joints.Piña coladas served throughout the day made July 4th a success...all thanks to Vons. So glad you're in the neighborhood. Keep doing what you do.”
“Good grocery store, pharmacy, and Starbucks location. Has a wide range of home goods in addition to the regular dept layout. Lots of parking, access to public transport, and friendly staff. Be careful of dodgy loitering in the car park.”
The Cincinnati-based supermarket giant will open about 110 new stores in fast-growing markets by 2029 and introduce three updated store formats, executives told investors Oct. 20 at the company’s Investor Update in New York. Kroger already runs about 2,700 stores in 35 states. The formats come in three sizes, a bit like small, medium and large, matched to each market. Mary Ellen Adcock, Kroger’s executive vice president and chief merchant and marketing officer, walked through the lineup.
Walmart shoppers want a head start on the holidays, and money explains a lot of it. Some 44% of respondents call affording the holidays their top stressor, and 61% say holiday costs shape their shopping mood. Asked what would make the season easier, 70% picked lower prices and 57% picked more deals and promotions. Convenience ranks lower: 30% want one-stop shopping across categories, and 20% want faster delivery.
Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country. The grocer also took first place in the American Customer Satisfaction Index's 2026 supermarket rankings. It has held a spot near the top of that list for years.
Target is rolling out its most ambitious store overhaul in more than ten years, with plans to remodel over 130 locations and open 30 new stores across the country this year. The retailer is also putting money into supply chain technology upgrades to keep pace with how shoppers buy today.
