Fred Meyer is a pioneer of one-stop shopping, combining a complete grocery supermarket with a drugstore, clothing, home decor, home improvement, garden, electronics, and more under one roof. The store is generally described as clean and well-stocked, with nice and courteous staff. Some locations are noted as being particularly good, with smoothly rolling carts and a selection that caters to specific dietary needs, though customers wish for more affordable gluten-free and vegan items. However, prices are frequently criticized as being outrageous and more expensive than other stores, with few sales or digital coupons. Occasional issues with low stock on specific items or workers appearing distracted are mentioned, but the store's wide selection of unique products keeps customers returning.
