How can you have problems at this store unless you're a moron; the pharmacy people are great; the produce/deli/etc/everyone is always helpful, esp at the back door /jewelry/clothing & customer service....since i can't walk much I use them all and they treat me fantastically including reward pts at the gas pumps....Keep up the great work....thanks so much. read more

It's small but has almost everything I need. It's across the street so it's very convenient for me. They also let me use my rolling cart to carry groceries which is amazing because I'm disabled and can't drive and rely on it for heavier items. Returns are also very easy. Kroger brand is a lifesaver when I'm struggling financially too! My only complaint is they don't sell prescription cat food so i have to travel further or other online from somewhere else to get that. But they don't have an attached vet clinic so that's understandable. Just a mild inconvenience. read more

After seeing urgent care at 830am was told my script would be ready in about 2 hours. I went home and waited until 11am. Went to Fred Meyer, picked up some supplies and proceeded to the pharmacy to pick up my antibiotics for strep throat. I feel awful and am now entering my 2nd hour waiting. Been in line 4 times to check if it's ready only to hear the pharmacist say it will be a lot longer. I am unwell and had the expectation that my antibiotics would be filled when they said they would. I should not have to sit here for what is now going on over an hour and share my strep throat with everyone else. Save yourself the headache and frustration and go to elsewhere as I will do after getting this medication. read more

-0 if I could. Marissa accused me of buying beers for the purpose of giving it to others. The manager leane was also no help at all as she moved on the situation from me buying beers for others to my id was fake. She claimed the bubbles under my face was what made it invalid. Oregon state issued id's have security verification bubbles are PROOF it's real. Same way a $100 bill has its own measures to prove authenticity. I was arrested in the end of "trespassing." I was booked and released immediately. All charges were dropped and never perused. I am taking this to the fullest extend. You cannot accuse people of things without being 100% certain. Absolutely not ok. read more

Super bummed. Did my grocery shopping on Sunday and purchased a pork shoulder to make pulled pork. I opened it Tuesday morning and it was rancid. The smell was so bad I literally ran it outside to the trash can. $15 down the drain. I don't live close by and have zero desire to go fish it out, drive with the stinky meat in the car to return it. Sadly won't be purchasing meat from Fred meyers anymore. read more

Nice Fred Meyers. It is a smaller version than most Freddie's. The produce selection is nice just small. The meat department has little to no seafood. The deli is just deli stuff no meat counter with fresh cut meats. The garden department is good. Lot of flower & plants. They have a bottle drop outside. read more

This place has every thing you need. Just like a Walmart. It just doesn't have the colorful characters you see at Walmart. Fred Meyer, where you pay a few extra bucks to not shop at Walmart. Oh the store is top notch and the employees are super helpful. read more

Thank you Fred Myer I am now eating much more healthy than ever. I have lowered my meat and egg intake greatly. I'm not eating unhealthy snacks or any junk food. I've greatly reduced by need for butter, and dairy products. It's a shame you don't seem to realize that you will lose a lot of people who have learned some financial discipline during the pandemic like myself. I shudder to think how much food is going to waste!! Fred Meyer was always overly expensive it is now horrifically so, much more than comparable supermarkets in the area for the exact same brands. In addition your meat and produce are certainly not any better and often worse than cheaper stores. Also there seem to be few employees ever on the floor to ever ask a question. read more

I was in the Jewelry department and everyone there was super nice. I had come to decide on my now fiance's engagement band. I took her in with me at first to get an idea of what my top five or so looked like on her finger, and then I told her I didn't especially like the one I was going to pick. She had no idea then of what I had given her until the moment came. The ladies were super helpful when I came back on my own to purchase the ring. I didn't expect that I would spend as much as I did, but I am the happiest man alive today because it put the biggest smile on my woman that I've ever seen. read more

Very understaffed and not helpful. I had to pack and unpack my groceries and rescan because no one was helping in the self checkout. When I was done I was told I had to move my cart out of the way. The exchange was unpleasant and took longer than if the employee had just moved the cart herself! read more

This place is the dumps! I had a car stolen right out side in front of customers and a video camera was on it. I ask to see the video and the manager said no. I tell you this. Its safer in LA than in this place. Fred G. Meyer, originally of Brooklyn, New York, opened his first stand on the corner of a busy highway in Brooklyn selling cherries. Meyer said he originally started his cherry selling business, because he "needed the extra cash to buy a car." Meyer eventually expanded his store to selling items for cleaning, as well as cereal, until he eventually opened his first permanent location in Portland, Oregon. The first suburban one-stop shopping center opened in 1931 in the Hollywood District of Portland, a neighborhood he deliberately chose through a shrewd and prescient application of market research: he would pay customers' overtime parking tickets that they incurred while shopping at his downtown store, just to obtain their home addresses.[citation needed] The store's innovations included a grocery store alongside a drugstore plus home products, off-street parking, gas station, and -- eventually -- clothing. Fred G. Meyer would base store locations on planned highway construction. In 1951, the Fred Meyer Company built a large warehouse near Providence Portland Medical Center in Laurelhurst, despite complaints and controversy from neighbors and the city council.Neighbors didn't want large truck volume in their city, but the area was already zoned for industrial and commercial east of 44th Avenue.The huge warehouse was built to the detriment of the Banfield Expressway, built in Sullivan's Gulch less than five years later.The warehouse had to be condemned and partially destroyed for the freeway, with the state highway commission selling the remaining sections to the Bemis Company.The Fred Meyer Company moved to Swan Island on land formerly occupied by wartime housing for Kaiser Shipyards. In the 1960s, Fred Meyer entered the Seattle market by acquiring Seattle-based Marketime Drugs. Fred Meyer also acquired a Spokane-based grocery wholesaler, The Roundup Company. Roundup owned no stores in Spokane but owned Kalispell, Montana, based B&B stores in northwest Montana and Consumer Warehouse Foods in Soap Lake, Washington. By March 1968, Fred Meyer Inc. was operating in four states -- Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana -- and had 48 retail stores.Later in 1968, the first full-fledged Fred Meyer in the Seattle area opened, in Lynnwood, Washington. It was also the largest Fred Meyer Fred Meyer, Inc., is a chain of superstores founded in 1922 in Portland, Oregon, by Fred G. Meyer (not to be confused with Frederik Gerhard Hendrik Meijer, former chairman of the Meijer superstore chain). The company was one of the pioneers of one-stop shopping, eventually combining a complete grocery supermarket with a drugstore, clothing store, shoe store, fine jewelers, home decor store, home improvement center, garden center, electronics store, toy store, sporting goods store, and more under one roof. Fred Meyer stores are located in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska. Before the company's merger with Kroger in October 1998, it traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol FMY. Although the company is now an entity of Kroger, the stores are still branded Fred Meyer, and the western region of The Kroger Company is headquartered in Portland. Fred Meyer is sometimes known as "Freddy's", a nickname the company was given by its customers and which is used in its advertising. For a number of years, the company has used the marketing slogan What's on your list today? You'll find it at Fred Meyer! or, more simply, What's on your list today? in its advertising. read more

Went here at about 7pm on July 4th, expecting for it to be closed. It was not. Kudos to FM for being open when we needed tortillas for burritos (what's unAmerican about that?). Sorry to the employees that were working at 7pm on the 4th of July. We got: tortillas (flour and wheat), Tillamook Vanilla Bean ice cream and fresh blueberries (2 pounds for $4.99). They were giving away free shit at this location(!(?)). I hadn't seen this before, but they announced over the loud speaker that they were have a marketing give-away between the florist and furniture sections, "where the laser light is shining on the ceiling." Ms. K. and I were intrigued/tempted/suckered and so over we went. Well apparently they were giving away shammy-mop-somethings, but we were scared away by the little platform that predicted some infomercial-esque occurrence. We bailed. Quickly. It's a Fred Meyer. You shouldn't be surprised by anything here (Chase bank, F.M. Jewelers, etc.). read more

My mom had gone in today, the lady at the register treated her poorly. They told her she wasn't allowed to buy anything, and then laughed and made fun her a while after. read more

Fred's is an ok place for some quick and dirty shopping. If you've ever been in the clothing section, you will know what I meen by dirty. This is not a Macys. The grocery section is ok, but they really have priced the organic produce outlandishly. This place works for a one-stop shop when you are too lazy or hung over to go to a real grocery (like Safeway) and a real department store like Macy's, Pennys or Kohls. The film developing lab is top notch. (I studied photography at the CCC. Go Storm) read more

If I had the option for just reviewing the bakery here, it would be one star, but because I like most of the rest of the store I have it three. I had had their cake once and really enjoyed it (this was before I found out I had to be gluten free) so my mom tried to get my cake here a couple years ago. Well, they completely lost the order and when she called again about it, they still didn't do it right. Fast forward to a little while ago and mom thought she would give them another chance and order my brother's cake. They would not help her whatsoever about customizing the cake, writing his name, etc on it. They were very rude and so we went to Safeway instead where they didn't even bat an eye and said no problem. No lost order and it was ready on time there. We definitely will not go to Fred Meyer again for any bakery needs because they apparently can't hire competent people who are interested in helping people in any way. For the rest of the store, sure I'd recommend going there. but definitely not their bakery! read more

I am really impressed at how much organic and local items this Fred Meyer carries. The organic items are also reasonably priced which is awesome. I use this FM a lot because it's close to my house, and honestly I like it better than some of the others. The staff is always really friendly and helpful, and they are great about opening new check out lines when the others start getting long. Nothing irritates me more than long check out lines that take forever to get through. Thanks FM! read more

**Regarding the deli** The store is fine, but the deli service and setup is incredibly awkward, unorganized and lacking good seating. Especially compared to other Fred Meyer's around the NW. The selection was lousy, although I did arrive at 4. Too bad. read more

for pricing, lack of produce selection and organization in this store. I would opt for wal mart.

Although I like this store for the convenience as it is only a few blocks from my house, I think it really stinks they wont return cans and bottles anymore. They will continue to "charge" the deposits but wont return them anymore. They said I can go to a location on Lancaster which is about 8 miles from my home. Ya like Im gonna drive 8 miles to get back 4 bucks worth of deposits at a time. Thanks Fred Meyer! NOT! I have vowed not to purchase cans or bottles anymore from them. There is a safeway just up the road who will have my business from now on read more

Produce always fresh and they have an excellent organic section. They have a little of everything u need so it's a great one stop shop.

Today, 9/13/2014 i purchased a new X-Box game called Destiny. It's a $60.00 game. I heard it was a great game so I thought I would get it for me and my nephew to play. I purchased the game around 9:30 AM. I ran another errand then went home. When I loaded the game into my X-Box a message came up saying that you had to have X-Box live or you couldn't play the game. I have about 20 other games and had never heard of such a thing. I looked at the fine print on the game box and sure enough, it said X-Box live only. So I put the game back in the box and went to return the game at 11:00 AM. The girl that sold me the game was standing next to the assistant electronics manager. I explained what had happened but the assistant electronics manager sited their policy was that they could not provide a refund or store credit for open games. Thinking I may be able to persuade the store manager, I asked to speak with him / her. As soon as I did, the girl that sold me the game literally laughed and rolled her eyes, like I was some crazy jerk. This made me extremely upset that they did not appear to be sensitive to the situation I was in at all. Sure, it was my mistake, but they seemed indifferent, that is not good customer service. A few minutes later the store manager came up and I explained what had happened with the game not working because I didn't have X-Box live. I did not mention the girl rolling her eyes, because I wanted to keep things positive. The store managers body language, tone of voice, and word choice was telling me that she thought she was way too important and too busy to help me. She sited that there were copy wright laws that prevented them from taking opened games back. Keep in mind, I just bought the game less than 2 hours ago. After she said she couldn't help me, she tried to hand me back the game I wanted to return. I told her she could keep it. It's not going to do me any good if I can't play it. I told her I did not plan on shopping at the store again. I totally get that I made a mistake by not reading the fine print on the game before I purchased it, but I have 20 other games that I can play without X-Box live. I didn't have any idea X-box was doing that. I get that the store policy may or may not prevent them from taking the game back. What I don't get is how I was treated. I left a message with the district manager and I'm waiting for a call back. If there are any other Fred Meyer managers that are interested in discussing what happened, my email is Delinport@yahoo.com read more

Although this is the FM closest to my house, I rarely go here because the selection is the worst of all the FM's in the area. The one in South Salem is the newest and is the only one that has Boar's Head meats in the deli. They also have a better selection of housewares and furniture. However, the real reason this place get's my 2 stars isn't the selection, it's the service. I stopped in here on my way home from work the other day to pick up some stuff from the deli. They advertise as closing the deli at 9p but when I got there at 830p and asked for some sliced turkey, the lights were off an everything was covered in the cases and the guys were already wrapped up to go home. He said they were closed for the night, the manager wanted them to be out of there by 830p. Well, then they shouldn't be advertising that they are open til 9p. Obviously the manager wants to cut corners with the payroll at the expense of the customers. This location is too far from the others to get to another deli by 9pm, so I went home empty handed and they've lost my business. For better service, try the Fred Meyer on Market Street, the gals that work in the deli there are super helpful and they have 40% off rotiserie chickens and half off stuff in the hot case between 8-9p. You can get a whole chicken for $3.49! This is my new stop on the way home from work. read more

This store is a bit smaller I think than the one on Lancaster that I am used to. But other than the weird layout compared to what I am used to this is a nice older Fred Meyers. Never had any problems other than trying to find things. :p read more

Pharmacy needs leadership! The store overall is decent and employees are nice. The pharmacy on the other hand is a huge disappointment . I use this location because I work in Salem otherwise I would use my favorite location that's in Newberg. Today I needed to fill a simple prescription , I approached the drop off counter, no other customers waiting and there was at least 6 employees chatting. One looked at me and said it will be a minute and continued chatting. A few min later a gal approached me and took my information , she the said it will be ready at 2pm.... I asked why does it take 1.5 hrs to fill a prescription ? She said it was busy... Really? Not one of them were filling prescriptions .. All were chit chatting. Then she just walked away as if I annoyed her. She could have said let me see if I can move it up some, or something to make me feel like a customer rather than a pain in her butt. So if your the manger of that pharmacy I would recommend doing a secret shop on your team, I will fill my prescriptions in Newberg or at Walgreens. read more
