Department Stores near Astoria, OR

“This place is really improving. Got an amazing deal on a fire safe, of all things. And their shoes are priced well. Great time to be a veteran and able to shop at the USCG exchange.”

“Lots of strange items in kitchenware. Clerk answered my question. It is a collection of everything from pet toys, bed frames, patio stuff and food.
For those that complain about selling expired food items - some make little difference such as crackers similar to those that sit in air raid shelters. Others I would probably not choose to buy as taste degrades in jarred foods.
Prices are all over the place, but guest towels for $2-3 is a bargain as are Euroscrubbies for $1. Large selection of art supplies and paper goods at generally nice prices.
As for backpacks; theft is an issue in Astoria just like Portland etc. Was asked to leave mine at the desk and did so. FYI I am 77 and white with a scraggly beard.”

“Ross near Astoria is a hidden gem for bargain hunters who don’t mind a little digging. The store is surprisingly well-stocked, especially for its size, and I’ve found everything from name-brand sneakers to quirky home decor that you’d expect to pay double for elsewhere. The layout can be a bit chaotic, but that’s half the adventure — you never know what you’ll stumble across.

The staff is low-key but helpful when asked, and checkout lines move quickly even when the place is buzzing. I’ve had better luck here than at bigger locations, which often feel picked over. If you’re patient and have an eye for deals, this Ross is worth the stop. Just don’t go in with a list — go in with curiosity.”

“This was what popped up first when we're trying to find the local Fred Meyer. Technically we didn't visit this fuel center, but we did visit the Fred Meyer store and found exactly what we were looking for.”

“Compliments to Jay Barajas, the Warrenton Store Manager; he is just a great manager. I mean he is great with all us customers but I have witnessed him being great to his people all the time. Like being patient at the registers or on the floor and he goes out of his way to say good night when he is leaving and also wishes them a good evening. He just seems to be genuinely grateful to have his Warrenton team and we all know that lots of managers are not that way so bravo to Jay!”

“Almost died here of heat stroke, but we didn't get kidnapped and because of that I'll be forever grateful. Also had amazing chocolate hostess donuts that I ate up while cooling down from almost dying in the parking lot. I bought 3 bags. Love the hostess donuts.”

“Was 3 minutes to close and my last insta cart shop for the night, all three young guys working were eager to help find what the customer wanted, and have us all out the door happy and on time. Although they were out of half of the items on the list they were still just as cheerful as they let me out the door as when. I walked in”

“This store has had a HUGE turn in a positive direction. This particular store has donated to the animal shelter and the community garden. When I heard they did that I was so taken back! What an amazing contribution to the community! Thank you to the new store manager for providing such a wonderful service! I came in when visiting with my two pups and Bethany (store manager) made my shopping experience super easy! I wasn't sure about what dog food I needed but she took the time to sit with me to talk about my dogs and gave me some really good recommendations. Now my dogs are BEGGING for their breakfast/supper and look forward to eating. Thank you!”

“Excellent experience at Fred Meyer in Astoria! The store was clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. The staff were friendly and helpful whenever I had questions, and the shelves were well stocked with everything my family needed during our trip.

I especially appreciated being able to find groceries, household items, and travel essentials all in one place. Checkout was quick, and the overall shopping experience was smooth and convenient.

Whether you're a local or visiting the Astoria area, this Fred Meyer is a great stop. Friendly service, good selection, and a clean store make it an easy 5-star experience. Highly recommended!”

“A shout out to Warrenton Fred Meyer Jeweler and a heads up about Longview Fred Meyer Jeweler. Warrenton is where my ring was purchased and after a couple sizing send offs and fixing of the black rhodium, I was happy with the ring. After moving to Longview, I had to take it in to the Fred Meyer Jeweler in Longview to have a prong fixed. It took longer than the two weeks time frame. When it was ready, I went to get it and the prong was still catching. Sales rep tried to say it was. Trying to give benefit of the doubt and went home only to have it catch again. Went back the next day and insisted they fix it. So they have me wait for the manager of the jewelry department to get back from lunch. She asks what we expect to have happen. Bluntly put, I want the prong fixed so the stone isn’t lost. The warranty that cost extra covers these repairs. Manager takes it to back room to the jeweler and then brings it back out…prong still catching. When that was pointed out, she said the jeweler can’t feel it due to burnt fingers from the job. We pointed out that it’s literally cracking by rubbing against my sleeve. Manager grabs ring and goes back to the back room. You hear muffled talking, noise, what sounds like steam and the jeweler takes off out of the back room. Then the manager brings me my ring and they literally ground off the raised portions of all four prongs, caused damage to the stone, and basically ruined my ring. At that point, it was pointless to continue to try to have a peaceful transaction. At this point the ring has been gone more then I had it. I wish I would've gotten a photo of the side by side.
Well today we went to the Warrenton location and explained everything. When she saw my ring she was appalled. She went to the back and got another one of the same. When held side by side I saw just how badly Longview Fred Meyer had mutilated my original ring. Because of the warranty, Warrenton is completely replacing my ring and resizing the replacement and I should have the replacement within two weeks. The worst part is that Longview location is known for their lack of customer service and mine is definitely not the only jeweler they’ve destroyed.”

“Mostly good and competent. They used to allow you to schedule a refill for same day pick-up in the app, however, it would never be ready when you would request it to be. I miss being able to schedule for same day pick-up, but I do not miss being irritated at it usually taking anywhere from 15-45 min for them to fill it after I arrive. Phone is the best way for these guys, just a heads up though, they are not particularly fond of phone calls either. 🫲😐🫱 4 stars because they are dependable.”
