UPDATE 3/19/2026: At this point, it's clear the issue isn't effort--it's ownership. Simply moving…read moreproducts around is not an improvement when the same fundamental problems are being ignored. The store remains understocked, with empty shelves, expired items still on display, and far too many products missing price tags. These are basic retail standards, and they're consistently not being met. The exterior reflects the same lack of attention. The parking lot is often littered with garbage, and the pallet area along the side of the building is cluttered and in poor condition. First impressions matter, and this one isn't good. To be clear, the employees are not the problem--they are consistently helpful and hardworking. This falls squarely on ownership and management decisions. Compared to other Grocery Outlet locations, this store continues to fall short. What's needed here isn't another rearrangement--it's real leadership, accountability, and a commitment to doing the basics right. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Grocery Outlet location has had four owner-operators in just under eight years, and the difference in management shows. It once felt like a treasure hunt for great bargains, but now it feels neglected. I have repeatedly found expired products on the shelves, especially in the meat department, which is concerning and unacceptable. The parking lot is frequently dirty, and many items are missing price tags altogether. When checking out, customers should carefully watch how items ring up. This is no reflection on the cashiers -- they are doing their jobs. However, pricing errors do occur, and management does not consistently honor shelf pricing when mistakes are on the store's end. The first two operators clearly cared about quality and customer experience. The last two, including the current owner, have allowed standards to slip significantly. I used to enjoy shopping here, but I will now be doing more of my shopping in Longview and using this location only when absolutely necessary. I truly hope the current ownership takes these concerns seriously and works to restore the store to the level of quality and service it once provided to the community.

Home decor items for $1-2, a large wall of shoes that I recently scored a brand new pair of boots from for $10. While their furniture can seem overpriced for a thrift store, it's mostly new items and cheaper than you will get retail even on sale. They also have a neat little craft section, Knicknacks throughout, and fitting rooms. Worth the visit every time I go. The woman who runs the store is a sweetheart and the staff, while hands off (which I personally prefer) can be helpful and have always been kind. The proceeds here benefit charity which is a bonus, too. Great place to shop and donate.

However, just today, I was informed that I was no longer allowed to bring recyclables to their establishment any longer due to a long list of falsified accusations. I am absolutely disturbed with the content of this list that I am absolutely coming in during hours that the manager works so that I may straighten this out. All through out this whole ordeal, I will be contacting the main corporate office and filing a formal complaint against the Chevron in Rainier. I'm not sure what it is that is causing them to retaliate against someone who is constantly smiling and asking how their day is, but I have never tolerated people who belittle others. I'm disgusted and hurt right now. This is NOT ok.

Let's get started with their newest addition: their expanded hot food section in the back. Leonardi's and the bakery are obviously on the front and side respectively. But in the back, used to only be rotisserie chicken. Now they have several varieties of chicken, potato wedges, corn dogs and pizza sticks, all hot and cheap ready to consume! They'll typically carry everything you could possibly be looking for, and they'll typically have it the cheapest of any store in the county. They'll usually have most new stuff pretty quickly, occasionally on release day. You shouldn't have any serious employee or service issues. Anyone that mentions lines, yes there can be lines...it's an extremely popular store! Also, it being the cheapest prices, and one of few 24 hour places of any type in town...means you may see some interesting people. It's got an atmosphere sort of similar to maybe Costco, if nothing was in bulk and the building was smaller, and the store was an obviously employee owned store. Also, the parking lot is pretty big. But the surrounding stores in the plaza aren't super popular, so even if WinCo's lot is packed, you should have no problem parking. At the end of the day, I just have to walk across two crosswalks and I'm here. (It's so close that I walk for exercise.) I am a regular, multiple times a week grabbing groceries or even snacks, and now I'll be regularly getting their new cheap hot meal as previously mentioned and shown in the photos. While nothing is outstanding, it's not getting a bad rating because I wouldn't come as often if it was truly horrible.
