“I’ve been shopping/volunteering at Vindeket for four years now and am excessively grateful FoCo has such an amazing resource. Vindeket became the linchpin to allow me to afford living in such an affluent/expensive town.
I started visiting when I began attending graduate school at CSU in 2021. Initially simply to feed my curiousity (being a fellow/frugal dumpster-diver), yet when I became food insecure due to higher-than-expected tuition fees, I frequented more in earnest. It’s kind and empowering to come gather food that would’ve been thrown away, helping negate the horrific food-waste statistics, but also selfishly gratifying to save hundreds a week on grocery bills (seriously I eat like a horse).
Despite all our donations consisting of foods past their ‘best by/sell/expiration’ date, I can attest (I am still kicking enough to type this out, no?) that after four years I’ve never had any health issues. As the website explains: use your nose and trust your gut! In fact, due to the oddities and unexpectedness of what grocery stores provide, I have access to a cornucopia of options!
Excluding two, Vindeket is run exclusively by volunteers. I won’t speak for everyone, but I endeavor to be welcoming, receptive and empathetic. However, we are only human and there are many more shoppers than there are volunteers. Thank you for your patience with us!!
Similarly, Vindeket relies heavily on donations from shoppers. If you are able to give, however little (even $1 is lovely! truly!!), we appreciate it. Please know it goes towards unavoidable bills, such as diesel and electric.
I am often doing parking lot duty, so if you see a figure with all the tats (Summer) or a flamboyant onesie (Winter) give a wave or hello! But also please know I cannot chat too long as there are many cars to direct! If you have any questions, wrangle a fellow volunteer and we will be as informative as we can.
Ultimately, Vindy is a rare bird. I am (once more) exuberantly grateful to be a part of such a worth-salt cause!”

“We love this place! We are lucky to have them right downtown for bulk groceries, spices, and all kinds of products that help us eliminate more single-use plastic in our house. They have gluten-free flours and oats. Also love the selection of local meats, meals and bone broth. Very clean and helpful staff. Thanks for giving us a great place to shop!”
“***UPDATE 2/26/26***
I was contacted by Jared about my review. When I tell you he listened and made it right. Not only did he take accountability of the situation, he apologized, offered a refund/return ( my choice) and promised to speak to the associate I spoke to at the store. This and speaking to Jared is the reason why I am changing my 1 star to 5 stars. When I went back to the store (2/22/26) the leadership was friendly and kept apologizing. The chicken I got that day was fresh and I would recommend shopping at Shamrock. I do feel they put the customer first and will make sure they fix any problems you have. Thank you Y'all

I wish I had read the fine print on their website (couldn't find anywhere else) before purchasing. Unfortunately, I ended up losing 40 pounds of chicken because the company does not offer any guarantee on refrigerated or frozen meat. This policy is buried in the fine print.That was a costly lesson for me. Buyers should definitely review the return and guarantee policy carefully before making any purchase from Shamrock Foodservice Warehouse. I know better now!”
“While every Trader Joe’s is usually chaotic the customer service is pretty unmatched here and they always have a great selection of flowers. Handing buckets of water with flowers is a great touch.”
“Great store with the best prices of any grocery store around. I never go to Esh's with anything specific in mind because I never know what they'll have, but you can get the best prices on grocery store items. The store is clean and tidy, but can get crowded, so be patient.”
“Absolutely perfect!!! Lives up to its name. Delicious, meticulously prepared authentic Mexican food. Breakfast burritos were perfectly sized for a hearty meal withou being excessive. The carne asada burrito had balanced ratios of all ingredients while still generous amounts of lean well-seasoned carne asada. The salsa was spicy and flavorful. Cleanliness is an obvious strength here too. From the prep area, well stocked market and butcher counter,dining area and the well-maintained restroom, pride in cleanliness is obvious. We will be back. Next time I need to give the posole a try because it looked amazing and everyone seemed to enjoying it. A new Fort Collins go-to for our family.”
“Absolutely love this place! They are so kind and friendly here absolutely great products! Abe was wonderful and helped me so much and they're extremely knowledgeable definitely will be returning ?”
“OMG if you want the best watermelon in town!! These guys have it! Its just like watermelon use to taste almost salty, spongy. Absolute best ive had in a long time!
Love the deals, food choices and of course the friendly staff. Thank you Eshs!”
“I’ve been blessed to live in cities with thriving food co-op’s (Madison, WI, Ashland, OR, Bellingham, WA) and am so happy that Fort Collins co-op has moved to a bigger space and continues to get even more wonderful. The previous spot was charming but impractical: moving into the old Beavers market is a wild improvement and I’m so happy to support them.
They have some of the best local produce and are priced competitively with Lucky’s and Natural Grocers. And, it’s not owned by Jeff Bezos, so you can feel good about what you’re buying.”
“I love Sprouts! It doesn't matter which location I visit I always find exactly what I'm looking for at a good price!
I really like the self-checkout at this location, it makes getting in and out much quicker!”
“Little Sprouts just helpful and healthy. Hey hey hey choose sprouts today! Maybe one day you can have a basement eco garden and a 2nd floor that specializes in knowledge of plants and supplements. Healing 2nd floor, Grocery Ground level, and Herbal Medicinal Basement. Speaking from the future when the 5th star is all their is.”
“Sprouts in Loveland has a secret weapon. His name is Mark, and he is the meat market manager. In spite of his title, he stopped his march to the meat market in order to help me find electrolytes. Yes, electrolytes. Not your typical meat market find. Mark kept looking until he located them in the vitamin arena of the store. Although, he did get some direction from other employees, he is happy to tell you he found the electrolytes first! I was pleased and grateful to receive assistance from Secret Weapon Meat Market Mark.”

“The meat section here is well-maintained and offers a good variety. Compared to other stores, the quality seems more consistent and fresh. It’s become our preferred place for weekly protein shopping because of reliability.”
“I like the selection they keep for such a small shop. There is new management now, owned by a really sweet Sudani guy.
The worker they have is sometimes very slow with check out process.”
“All the vendors we spoke to were so kind and informative, the prices are all very reasonable for the quality of goods you’re getting. Looking to make this a regular stop in the spring and summer.”
“I do 80% of my grocery shopping here. Good layout in store. Easy to navigate. Friendly staff. AND usually find in store deals that are better in price than other grocery stores”
“This market has grown into a lovely place that I am now frequenting weekly. The pizza is amazing, the salad bar is epic, the beverage section is endless and fabulous. I enjoy the ease of parking, smooth shopping carts and mellow vibe inside of the store. Keep up the great work.”
“I've used the Whole Foods Delivery service, through Amazon, multiple times. Every order has been 100% perfect, all items accounted for, produce was chosen well, items packed thoughtfully. Big shout out to your personal shoppers who do a great job assembling orders. Thank you 🎉”
“To be hones may be not the best prices but thw place is always clean easy to walk around and staff is always super friendly (oh and easy to park) I always come back even for thing that I pay more than costco just for the tranquility of walking around and the great people working there”
“Excellent produce department. I use Safeway For U coupons weekly, which helps bring down their high prices. Cabbage @$0.89/# r/t $1.29, Romaine @$1.59 ... every little bit helps! Without these coupons I'd shop elsewhere.”
“I think that there shoul be more king Soopers fuel centers. Between the price of gas and food these days, who doesn't like a little incentive after spending so much on a necessity like food during the week?I received a whole quarter off my gas at the kind Soopers fuel center just for shopping and entering my phone number. Only problem is they are few and far between,yet still, it is very Much appreciated King Soopers . Now let's see more fuel centers go up ehh?”

“I have been shopping at this store for 20 plus years. I am so grateful for Rahul and Niki. They are amazing employees, keeping everything clean, paying attention to detail, making conversation with customers to make it a pleasant experience and making every trip I take to the store such a comfortable feeling.The prices are rising way too high, way too fast. So when the customer experience is gone, I won't be returning. But as long as the amazing employees are there, I will continue to spend my money at this store.”
“The staff at the Walmart pharmacy on Mason is always exceptional. They are knowledgeable, kind, and willing to go above and beyond. I know not all pharmacies give this great service, and I am so grateful to have one that can help reduce the stress that can come from managing medications and health insurance. Thank you for your hard work and friendly attitude.”
“It's convenient when you realize after buying a months worth of freezer items and get in your car just to realize your gas light is on and the closest gas station is about a mile away ...”
“Just finished shopping at my favorite store and had the best experience. Chris D. our cashier was the very best. As soon as we walked in there was a line a mile long and him being the only cashier up there, he handled that line with no problem, treating everyone with respect and had no kind of panic attack like I would have with that line. When we checked out he was very kind and gave such great customer service. Although the drive is a little long for me, I will definitely be back to that store because of Chris D. He was fantastic!”
“The tamales, flour tortillas and corn tortillas and the variety of salsas are all delicious!! Their meat makes great street tacos too! Customer service is excellent too! It's the best Mexican market in Loveland-try them out”
“I love this place. We always get the chorizo here. It is so flavorful. Today, they had tamales- pork with red sauce and jalapeño/cheese. Phenomenal! I am very picky about my tamales and these are the best ones I have had in Colorado. All the staff are so nice, even with the language barrier. My high school Spanish isnt great.”
“I came in to get chicken for Monday like always at the deli and the manager I didn't even want to help me because she seemed super irritated and unpleasant and frazzled as always..... but the young man James helped me and was extremely nice and very helpful and really should be manager considering he's always pleasant when I see him. He makes coming back to this store worth it!”

“Margo was such a sweet cashier. Walmarts clothing are actually cute nowadays and I loved getting a Dunkin coffee to drink while I shop! Also when we left the greeter gave my 10month old son a balloon on the way out! I felt like I was living in the Midwest again.”
