I have been to Finholm's twice now! It's located in an area if Gig Harbor I wasn't familiar with at…read moreall and apparently it's the area where the town's original downtown was located. Finholm's has a lot of history in this neighborhood and there is a nearby sign where you can read up on some of it. Inside the store I wouldn't exactly call it a full fledged supermarket but there are plenty of snacky items and the beer selection is great! There are a lot of brands of beer that aren't commonly seen in the area so if you are into craft beer there is a lot to check out! But not only that they have beers on tap that you can enjoy as well and hang out there! There is a place that serves food inside. It's a waffle shop in which you can get sweet or savory waffles. That place has it's own Yelp entry and I will write a review for that in the near future. But definitely check out Finholm's and read up on it's history... it's pretty interesting!

I was shopping at this Safeway in Gig Harbor while my husband was standing with some strangers at…read morethe Pokemon vending machine, hoping that maybe the machine would be getting stocked since there was a line. The manager came up to him and asked him why they were standing at the machine quietly and he said that the port orchard location just had a restock and they seemed to think that the Safeway was next. The manager scott then called him a stalker and said you know what stalking is right. Apparently the manager allows their employees to clock out and scalp the Pokemon machine when it gets filled and then clock back in & also be completely unprofessional and rude to customers. Very unprofessional & I will not be shopping there ever again. Corporate will also be notified.

Well, my friend went shopping here and roasts were on sale for a big discount if you spent over $50…read moreminimum. When she checked out, her bill was $180 and she realized when she got home that they had overcharged her $44 for the roast. When she went back to the store and spoke with Kevin and Susie, Kevin said he was only giving her $18 back because she'd already got $30 off of her groceries. The problem with that was the discount on the groceries was for buying other sale items not the roast! As Kevin cheated her out of the sale price for the roast, she told him she would never shop at the store again and he said "That's fine!" Kevin should know that good customer service is huge and he behaved very badly. My friend has told everyone she knows about this horrible experience at this Safeway. The small act of cheating by Kevin has cost Safeway a lot of business. I will certainly never shop there!

It was a bit messy - the floor particularly ; we stepped on fruit several times ; but also it was heading towards the end of the day so probably things look tidier in the a.m. hours.

The Albertson's company web site shows that Non-Food purchases IS NOT ON THE LIST of eligibility requirements, while the in-store ad shows that Non-Food items are not eligible.

Says there is nothing he can do to give me my FREE TURKEY after spending almost $200 in purchases... AT THE GIG HARBOR LOCATION - THAT IS SO F____ING WRONG!!!

It wasn't too busy midday on a Monday to go browsing around inside. The parking lot was easy to enter and exit without any issues. It's a bit small, but it's doable. Stopped by the cafe inside the market and ordered an Iced Lavender Matcha and the famous chocolate chip cookie 'The Cookie'. The Iced Lavender Matcha was good. However, it was VERY SWEET. You could definitely taste the lavender syrup that they used in the drink. The lavender flavor overpowered whatever amount of matcha was in the drink. The Cookie was great! Love eating them warm!

I was lucky enough to have Teanna work with me. She's also worked with my wife and she is superb. She knows her stuff and you can absolutely trust her suggestions and advice. She's a reason why we only buy our prescription eyeglasses at Costco. She helped me pick out two sets of frames and even did a 'tune-up' on the pair of glasses I'm wearing until the new ones arrive. Teanna reminded me that we can always bring our glasses in for tune-ups like replacing worn nose pads and readjusting the frames fit on the ears and nose. This is the type of added value Costco provides for all prescription eyeglass purchases.

For our household I am not exactly sure getting utilizing it to it's fullest entirely works because…read moreour household is fairly small. But not just that we are fairly new to Costco and we kind of need to adjust accordingly to this kind of bulk shopping and zero in on things we need bulk of and not focus on this kind of a store like Fred Meyer is. Although I acknowledge larger families could probably use it as an equivalent. We were told the Gig Harbor location was less chaotic and while it was slightly less so it's still a very fast paced place. Nothing too much different than the one in our own town however they seemed to get people through the check outs at amazing speed. I'd definitely would return should a Costco need arise and we were in the Gig Harbor area. If you aren't used to the area however I'd recommend coming in and out with GPS as it can be very confusing with what feels like a large amount of stores clustered off of one road along with it's roundabouts.
