“Went in for a sandwich, and beer. I was driving my 55 Chevy pickup, while pulling into the parking spot, the employees came out and had me back in to a specific place as to show off my truck in front of Whistle stop. After entering and ordering our lunch, and beverages, the employee's were exceptionally friendly, and treated us like we had been friends forever!! The sandwiches were top shelf, along with the beverages, service, and staff!! Will definitely refer this establishment!! And I will definitely be going back when in the neighborhood.”
“We had a great experience with Bradley thomas west. I was at the cashier with my two little ones. The kids wanted to help but they were slow and clumsy. Bradley was so patient and kind and gave them plenty of time to try. The kids had such a fun experience and I was very thankful for him. Thank Bradley for your kind words and gesture.”

“I don't leave reviews as often as I should, but wanted to make a point to do so after such a wonderful experience. My wife and I fell in love with Ethiopian food back in our hometown, and we have been looking for a a delicious restaurant up here, and Alem blew us away. From the amazing care and kindness from walking in the door to the quality of our dishes. We tried the vegetarian sampler and Tibbs. Both were excellent. Cannot recommend enough for outstanding Ethiopian in Everett. Look forward to visiting again soon!”
“Great selection of beers and cider! So many options. They sell a ton of singles too. The cashier working there is always so friendly and happy. Definitely recommend supporting them and shopping there!”
“Over the last few years the store has changed owners and i beleave it's newest are in for the long haul. Both are personable and friendly people and are willing to get anything you need that they have the ability to get. I for one am glad that Wilson's is again feeling like a well-run neighborhood staple within the community.”
“It's the only grocery store that you can go to that doesn't eat up your entire paycheck for full grocery trip. i do my bulk shopping here. I will get my fancy cheese and meat at QFC or the Evergreen Asian market. but other than that I get everything else here. the winco in Marysville has fresh hand made sushi every Tuesday. I even get my money orders fir rent when im here at this one stop shop. always fairly crowded but not as bad as costco.”
“This Grocery Outlet has an extensive selection of products at extremely reasonable prices. There is always something new to try and find! Definitely my go to place for all my snacks, and treats. The store is clean and easy to navigate, with a wonderful section of household products and beauty as well, some name-brand stuff at not so name-brand prices:) The staff work hard, the owners truly care about their business, their employees, and most of all their customers always come first! The store is organized, and has good vibes all around! Thank you Grocery Outlet for being a staple in my household!”
“Always find what I am looking for, and so much more. I make mochas at home with my expresso machine, and having the variety of coffee syrup flavors makes things fun. Kids do the redbull and flavors. They have sugar free as well. The prices for these are so much cheaper than the big box stores as well. Can always find something fun, and if you have to host a big party, you bet you can find the serviceware, and such as well.”

“I love this Market! A year after covid hit I opened up a bakery, I sold many Piñata breakables and JR Tajin Breakables, this store had all of the treats I needed to fulfill my customers orders. As of late, I opened up a second Business where I offer confectioners service and also selling Peruvian Tamales. I know that I can rely on this Market to supply my Hojas de plátano & Corn Husks! Along with an array of treats for dessert tables!! Did I mention the location is convenient!”
“I regularly visit this market and have been for years, as I live right up the street. Recently I believe the ownership has changed. With that being said that still have very reasonable pricing on beers with a decent selection; they have also increased vape selection and even made a one-time-exception when I received a faulty product. The new owners/employees really do live up to “the friendliest store in the universe””

“CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE AT ORIENTAL & AFRICA MINI MARKET – 128TH STREET, EVERETT Oriental & Africa Mini Market has been a go-to for me and my family for over three years whenever we shop for homely food items and specialty groceries. Even after moving nearly 20 miles away, we still make it a point to stop here as part of our shopping routine — that says a lot about the quality and consistency of this store. Shopping here is always a delight and a pleasure. The owner is genuinely committed to improvement; over the years, I’ve raised concerns or suggestions, and they’ve consistently addressed them, often offering better replacements or solutions. The new attendant is especially noteworthy — warm, attentive, and always ready to assist, regardless of any communication barriers. She goes out of her way to help customers find what they need, saving time and making the shopping experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, Oriental & Africa Mini Market stands out for its excellent customer service, thoughtful improvements, and wide selection of quality items. It’s truly a dependable and welcoming place to shop, and we will continue to return for years to come.”
