“Definitely a very pleasant small town atmosphere they are very polite and it's always a great experience when you go there. thanks for many years of service with a smile”
“We all know TJ employees are amazing but employees here are 10x amazing. You can go here depressed and leave feeling better? the store is nice and clean l, I can find all my favorite items. Thank you!”
“I just find it the place I buy more and more of what I eat. Just back from stocking up. All sorts of yummy things, both fresh and storable. And- the people who work there are all lovely and helpful. (And there are enough of them.)”
“Tacoma Boys is my spot! They always have the best Steaks and meats! Chad is the man. He is super knowledgeable and will ensure you get what you are looking for to make the perfect meal. Open 24/7!”
“Grocery outlet is great! I always end up spending way more than I planned. Luckily, things really are discounted nicely, which is probably why I think it's ok to keep grabbing stuff and putting it in my cart, kinda like when the dollar store was a actually a dollar for their merch. Anyway, Grocery Outlet carries a lot of healthy items you won't see everywhere else, and specialty items as well. Some things come, and some things go and you may never see them again, but it's how they make room for all the new and different stuff that comes in, I suppose. Really good deals. One time, I got an excellent coffee creamer, regular size, for like 42 cents a container! I bought a lot of them. That's not common, but it happened. They have pretty good specialty stuff too. I love their household items! I've gotten cool rugs and towels, really different designs n cool as heck! They have kitchen stuff and a few things for the car like trunk organizers and I recently bought a padded seat that heats up. Doesn't get super hot, but my tush doesn't need to be on fire, so that's fair. It was only 20 bucks too! Works fine, the seat and the back heat up a bit but only in the middle. Hey for $19.99, it works for me! Actually it's for my cat when I take him on car trips. Lol So, I highly recommend Grocery Outlet. It's got a lot of food stuff, and non-food stuff like markers and outdoor decorations, especially fit the holidays, and just different unrecorded things that are cool and you didn't know you had to have it until you saw it! It's very fun, and less expensive than most stores.”
“This Grocery Outlet is an absolute hidden gem! The prices are unbeatable, and I am always amazed at the incredible deals I find every time I shop here. It’s a fantastic place to save money without sacrificing quality. What truly sets this store apart, though, is the staff. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and genuinely cares about the customers. The managers, in particular, are exceptional, attentive, professional, and always visible on the floor making sure everything runs smoothly. It’s clear that customer service is a top priority, and that level of care makes every visit a positive experience. If you’re looking for great value, a welcoming atmosphere, and a team that goes above and beyond, I highly recommend shopping here. This store has earned a loyal customer in me! ;)”
“Ima trucker from California loved their food . Nyam gave me free roti (naan) to try.. thank you brother afghan are nicest people on earth.. would love to come back.. thanks again”
“My favorite neighborhood stop, everyone is so nice and there's always something there that the big name stores don't have. And I'll take their coffee over Starbucks any day.”
“Give them 2 days notice and they’ll make you a fantastic cake. The bright colored frosting was surprisingly not too sweet & tasted more like cool whip. Everyone loved the moist cake and the strawberry filling was my favorite.”
“This location has some of the friendliness staff. I feel like I'm supposed to when shopping in my cute little town surrounded by cities; welcomed and appreciated. Im a sucker for a good grocery outlet and this one hits the mark. Its only not a 5 because other locations carry a bit more of what I like to buy and its not as personalized as other locations. Otherwise 10/10”
“Lovely sweet people always helping and have big smiles on there faces! Lots of food that we love at this place. feels like we are back home. Prices are fair, service is always excellent, closest place to get your Islanders fix of snacks and many more goods from the islands... Aloha Islander Grocery is the heart beat of the Pacific islander's community and the right place to Goooo! ?”
“So glad we finally have a Grocery Outlet in South Hill Puyallup! I don't have to go to Bonney Lake or Tacoma! Always appreciate the Professional Cashier & Stocking Team because they are so helpful! Great deals and surprising specialty goods! Be sure to buy it when you see it, it won't last long!”
“Best service I’ve had in a while at a restaurant! They hosted very well. Great quality food and they were able to get us seated within a few minutes on a Saturday morning.”
“First off I'll just start by saying I am American and not from the middle east. However I've been on a middle eastern food kick lately, trying all kinds of different things and making some new recipes. There are several shops along Pacific Hwy that sell various types of middle eastern foods. I tried this place tonight because they make pizza and kabobs. They are both excellent. The pizza is unlike any other flavors I've tried before, yet still familiar enough to most American style pizzas. It came with ketchup which I found interesting and wouldn't typically use this condiment on pizza, however on this particular pizza I just added a little and it was surprisingly good actually. Somehow the tanginess of the ketchup went with this pizza. Really amazing flavors all around. Perfectly cooked dough, nice and chewy on the crust with lots of crispy bits of cheese. The kabobs are filling my whole car and house with good smells right now. These are not the same as typical kabobs you might find at a middle eastern style food truck. These are Chapli Kebabs and they are flat, burger shapped patties rather than chunks of meat that are cooked on a skewer. Comes with nice freshly baked bread, very soft and saw lots of people coming into the store just to buy this bread as well. They have a pretty good selection of all kinds of other random stuff and lots of dried fruits and nuts as well as some Lebanese style cheeses, homemade yogurt, homemade pickles and other things. I don't think Americans typically shop here but they were very kind towards me. You will have to ask them about ordering the food as there really was no menu or anything that I saw. I think most people going here already know what they have/want type of situation, so I'm posting pics of what I ordered just for reference. Seriously good food and kind people!”
“My boyfriend always takes me to the grocery outlet they have great selections for meats and their salmon prices are good. In fact everything you need that the other stores prices are high. It works well for me. Aloha”
“Genuinely a nice guy working hard to develop. Very educational the never frozen fresh beef and lamb will go far. I came in while everything was under construction The owner still stopped to spend time showing us everything he had super nice guy Look forward to seeing it when it’s all finished.”
“Love this store and LOVE the employees! They are always super sweet, helpful and kind and that’s really important to me. Also, the health food items here are what income for and the savings I get is incredible. Somewhere around a 40% savings on buying the products somewhere else. I buy my mushroom powders here, collagen, gluten free products and supplements as well as beauty products that are clean, with less harmful ingredients. They do a great job at having some really niche products. Kudos?”
“My favorite 24hr grocery and basics store - I work till midnight most nights so if I need milk or medicine or bread or anything, Winco is my spot. I've compared a few of them, and this Winco is the best in the region imo :) Love that it's employee owned, provides affordable and quality items, and lets me pop in at ridiculous hours”
“Fresh tasting pan dulce at a good price ($1.79 ea) and very nice people working there. Huge selection of dried chilies. A smaller selection of Mexican meat, cheese and veggies but all look fresh and good quality.”
“Always pretty much have everything I can need and want super friendly.... It's close to my home so very convenient. Love the chicken strips and JoJo's.”
“Great owner great people. Always have what I need and their cashiers are very kind especially the gentleman in the evening but they're all good people worth driving a bit farther for good customer service and products with no hassle.”
“The smell of freshly baking bread is a delight. They've got a tandoor and when you buy some of the Afghan bread he pulls you a fresh one out of the tandoor that is piping hot. They've got some spices, raisins, currants, and nuts for sale too. Their grocery selection is a bit sparse and their hours are seemingly erratic but the bread is delicious and the baker seems to be a nice fellow. The price for the bread is pretty cheap as well.”
“I like going to the Fred Meyer gas center because it has hoses that will reach the opposite side of your vehicle. This moves more vehicles through the area in a shorter amount of time. It's this type of thought that makes Fred Meyer the best.”
“This is the best Afghan store I have been to which has the freshest meat. Also worth mentioning that the sale rep at the store, Sapai, was such a gentleman. He was not only helpful but was asking customers to carry their groceries to their cars. True afghan hospitality”
“I like using the fuel additive pumps, as I usually buy it off the shelf and pour it in. This cuts that part out. The last couple of times, however, they have not been functional. Hopefully Freddie's can fix this trend. Prices per gallon seem to be on par with the surrounding area, perhaps a cent or 2 less.”
“Hello this particular location is not 24 hours but in fact is closed between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. when it opens again Same as you would in most other WinCo's, it is clean and organized, well stocked. :-) I have no complaints. Everybody was there working doing their job, they were doing deliveries so the aisles were really crowded right before closing with pallets of things to be stalked but that's to be expected in a store that does that much business. And also understandably because they are not 24 hours, people that were the cashiers and such we're getting kind of tired but nobody was rude by any means and all of the patrons were also not rude and we're just rushing along to make sure everybody got through so the workers could go home. 5 out of 5 stars for cleanliness, stock, and everybody working with nobody slacking.”
“Great place for finding organic and non-gmo foods for a better price. You do have to watch expiration dates because sometimes things are set to expire soon. But I have gotten things for much cheaper than typical and been able to freeze what I can’t use before expiring which is awesome.”
“It's clean, well stocked, and the staff is great. Unfortunately, prices here are so much higher. I travel a bit further to do my main shopping and only use this location, which is my local supermarket, for quick trips.”
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.
