Department Stores in Meridian, ID

“Hidden gems await. You can find great deals and quality products if you are patient. They have a great outdoor selection of clothing for men and women. I've been able to find 50% off awesome hiking boots and backpacking gear.”

“The only reason for 4 starts for the girl last night alexia she was doing everyone's job last night while running everything and two other employees standing around doing nothing during closing”

“I Get Sooo Sucked Into This Place!! I Could Be There For Days. Found A New Water Tracker Cup, Super Cool. Each Time You Finish A Cup Of Water You Move The Rubber Band Up.The only thing I'd say, I wish people would put stuff back nicely and with the right items”

“I love Maurices. They usually have really cute clothes but I went in a few days ago and wasn't impressed at all. I'm sure it's just this season and they'll have good things again after Christmas. They're always nice there and definitely helpful and that never seems to change fortunately.”

“A place I use for Amazon returns more than anything else however when I needed a tie for an event their selection was pretty amazing. The store always feels super clean to.”

“I recommend shipping here on a weeknight. Way less traffic. I also tried one of the newly released chocolate chip cookies, and I highly recommend them. They're a meal though, so you might want to share. They are literally as big as your face.”

“Jake is Amazing!! He was very patient & kind with my kids as they tried to pick blankets out for Christmas presents. It was close to closing time & he didn't rush them at all. He is a great asset to your customer service team! Thank you Jake.”

“Epic experience while digging through the “dead cake” area. I spotted an illustrious (what I have named) “Phteven Cake” and promptly fell apart laughing with my daughter (see pic) upon closer inspection. I think perhaps they are training new bakers but whomever made this masterpiece should be on Netflix’s The Next Best Dessert show. Not only is the color true to form but the size and shape of the teeth : perfection. I can barely tell the difference between the cake and the real deal! I can’t understand why this cake was on sale. $12.41?? Such a steal! Far better than the baroque styled raspberry monstrosity melting beside it. Should you need some real artistry and dedication put into your pastries, look no further. Fred Meyer bakers have you covered.”

“I recently purchased sheets and an ice maker from Steelz for my new house, and I couldn't be happier with my shopping experience. The service provided by Steelz was exceptional, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much money I was able to save. The quality of the sheets and the ice maker exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Steelz for their top-notch service and quality products, and I'll definitely be returning for more home essentials in the future.”

“Do they hand out 'courteous, friendly and customer focused pills' in the employee breakroom here? Whatever it is that makes it so for everyone who works at this Costco, I wish they could bottle and distribute it to all retailers. I am no Costco fan in general . True story, when I lived in the Bay Area about 35 years ago and was in a Costco for the first time I almost started to hyperventilate from seeing just TOO MUCH of everything and I went outside to wait on my husband to shop. And in the 20 years we lived in Bend (OR), between the crush of tourists (now about 1.5 Million a year to that once little mountain town) and explosive growth the Costco experience was torture for how unpleasant many of the understandably hassled employees were. (I grew to dislike the contingent of rude tourists too. Just sayin'.) I was an ABC, anything but Costco, shopper. SELECTION OF THINGS WE NEED TO BUY + GREAT SERVICE HERE HAS WON ME OVER: and makes even me look forward to our roughly 3 times a year shopping trips. As in today when we left with beautiful organic berries (four kinds), Kleenex, lemons and limes, a bottle of Zinfandel for my dad (he's 91 and it fit our "90+ spectator rating / $20-" ;-) rule for drinking his fav varietal with him ), Beecher's Flagship cheddar, what passes for 'junk food' at our house in the form of Tru-Fru dark chocolate dipped frozen raspberries (seriously, these are SO good) and Milton's brand gluten free frozen veggie pizza (good stuff in its' category) and lots and lots of AA batteries (which is what we went in for). So many that the checker said "I gotta ask?" as he rang them up. Battery operated window shades was my husband's reply. "Ah! Now I get it! ." chuckled this nice guy. As was the young guy, really hustling, who boxed up our purchases, for literally sprinting to the parking lot to tag a customer who left behind vitamins to get them to her before she departed. All of this with a smile. Nice. Very nice.TIMING IS EVERYTHING: here and it is best to avoid the time when, to crib Bill Joel, "the regular crowd shuffles in" to eat the hot dogs and pizza and whatever else at the food service, wait in line and order counter in the front of the store. I do not get it, but clearly I am the oddball here to not appreciate those eats. It is nearly SRO for food service and it adds to the crush of cars in the parking lot that looks huge but is always too small for the number of shoppers. Also if you can get in and out before they start the free samples in the food section, that is swell too for fewer people. And absolutely avoid weekends if you can do that at this store where it seems it is a family affair to bring the kids to Costco for entertainment and let them run around to explore and in particular at the samples stations. Go figure. GAZING IN MY CRYSTALL BALL: We have only been shopping here for a year, it opened maybe 2+ years ago, but seeing more frequent stops in here during this Summer and Fall given they carry the same brand of organic berries of all kinds that we buy at another retailer in the area and the Costco ones were fresher and 30% less. It will not be my fault if a bag of Tru-Fru frozen chocolate covered raspberries jump out of the freezer case into my cart each time too.”

“Just went in to return something and was helped by a man named Justin. He was so friendly and quick with everything, he really made my short time in there a pleasant experience!! Tha k you Justin for being a hood person”

“Josh over in automotive was an absolute rock star, very patient and knowledgeable. I was attempting to do a battery warranty, and despite the system having many issues claiming a battery was sold before it was manufactured and things like, he persisted and helped me figure it out and got the warranty taken care of! 10/10, top-notch fella!”

“We just happened to stop in to look for a wedding band and we found it! Thanks to Taylor! She patiently took me through all kinds of options and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Thanks Fred Meyer jeweler”

“Absolutely amazing experience today at this location. The manager Erik/Eric went out of his way to find items, price match with Fred Meyer website, then load the items all in 104 degree weather without being asked and while other employees were short tempered and upset about the heat, this manager took charge and owned the experience from start to finish to make sure we were happy!”

“I've been to this location multiple times, and I have no bad experience with them.Easy access location on Fairview and Locus groove traffic lights.You are able to save on gas if you are a member.”

“I ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday, she got to customize decorations and colors on their website. I showed up a little bit earlier than I had scheduled the pick-up, their very friendly staff made it work anyways and the cake turned out beautiful.”

“Jackie IS THE BEST! She was willing to restock a cart of items I changed my mind about. She was delightful and embodies the spirit of Walmart customer service; exceeding expectations and putting the customer first. Wowed to say the least. Very grateful for good people.”

“Shout out to Demi@ the E Fairview location! She helped me with a delivery problem and made me feel valued. Also, Cathy, the delivery person was so sweet and navigated the icy driveway like a champ!!!”

“I love Fred Meyer, I mean common they were the only "General Store" in Idaho until Walmart (which was looked at as an oddity. It was late 1999 or 1998 when Walmart came to Boise. Fred Meyer has always had quality products, household, housewares, furniture, decor, clothing, intimates, fantastic produce, meat, deli, and ahead of all the little pop ups when it comes to the new trend in consumer food products "vegan", "organic", "gluten free" and they continue to grow and remain the front runner. Their prices were beet by Walmart before Covid if one does not utilize the reward system, ads, coupons; both electronic and paper. I save more and get better products from a Northwest local supply chain supporter with amazing products and service. You have to utilize your rewards and don't miss the Founders sale. We actually on vacation went to the first Kroger (and still the corporate store) in Oregon. It's multi level and awesome. I love FM. Two of three of my children work for the company. They started while in high school. They are great employers as well.”

“This review is for the jewelry department. I'd been on the hunt for the perfect wedding band for a few months now with nothing really jumping out at me. It also doesn't help that some salespeople at higher end places are too pushy and the prices too high. My fiance and I stopped by here on a whim and after we bought some skyr and fruit and I worked with Lucas. We tried a few on but nothing was looking/feeling right for me then he suggested the one I went with. We had to check and see if the size I needed was available. The system was down so he took down my name and number and he gave me a call to tell me yes it could be ordered in my size. I asked Lucas when he was working next to make sure he got commission.Went in today and Lucas wasn't there but the manager Josh made sure Lucas got credit for the sale and we had some laughs a good conversation while we waited for the computer to print everything out. I can tell the people working this department are well taken care of and I hope upper management recognizes Josh and Lucas for their enthusiasm and hard work.Also, a ring and some groceries and still cheaper than shopping at Albertsons.”

“We just started today our set-up with the pharmacy here at this location and I have to say Rena was extremely helpful...and so sweet! Unfortunately , medications have been some what of a shortage at other pharmacy places one to many times so we needed a change! Hoping this continues to be a successful run for our future routine of monthly care a happy customer”
