I been to the plaza this store is in before and it can be difficult finding a parking spot depending on when you come since there are a lot of other stores as well. Since I came in the morning, it wasn't too bad. This store only carries the 7 pounds ice bag and nothing more so be aware. I asked one of the worker if they had any bigger bags and he told me that was all they have. There also no self checkout station here, when I was in the store there was only 2 cashier so the line backed up. The prices are reasonable here and they had a nice produce area.

I absolutely love this store. The workers are very nice, when i lost a personal item of mine they…read morekept it safe until i could retrieve it. The only thing i have to say is i do not like the paper bags at all, not only do they not have a handle but they tear very easily. But besides that this store is very nice, the quality of the food is amazing and it is very easy to navigate. The pastries are also delicious, i love the tirasmu cake.

There a lot of parking spots here so you shouldn't have any issues and there are other stores here as well if you need other things. This Ralph store has self checkout station and also regular cashier line as well. Be aware that there no butcher for the meat, it's mainly seafood so all the meat are already prepackaged. The produce area is on the right side of the store and the soda are toward the left side where the bakery is as well. When I come to this grocery store, they usually have security at the entrance. It's nicely organized inside and sometime they do some nice decorations with certain items.

They have a variety selection of snacks, sodas, and dairy products. In the morning usually the bakery items are out of stock. They don't have that many options to grab and go. As they are stoking the shelves. They have a variety of plants and flowers by the exit. They have reasonable prices for flower bouquets. For the customer service no complaints. In the morning usually is self check out only. If you purchase alcohol, one of the employees will help you with the transaction. Parking in the morning is awesome . There are plenty of spots to park, but I the afternoon it can be tricky. Overall, a great grocery location. I can find everything on my shopping list.

This Vons I believe have curbside pickup because I saw the parking spots for them. The flowers are on the left side of the store and the deli is on the right. This Vons is a decent size and has self checkout station along with cashier station as well. The produce area is nicely organized and they were not busy during lunch time. I usually come to Vons for their Friday 5 deals so I wanted some jumbo chicken drumsticks from the deli area. They told me it would be a 30 minutes wait so I decided to not get anything. My wife found everything she needed and I went to the self checkout to pay. There was an employee there to help me void a pack of cherries because the price was high.

When I walked inside, the cakes is on the right side of the entrance so it was convenient for me. They had some nice options for a whole cake but I just wanted a slice. I saw some flan which I know my wife would love so I got her that and a slice of strawberry cake. I walked to the produce area and it was nicely organized. Everything looks fresh and they were fully stocked. I went to the ice cream aisle to get some crunch ice cream. I used the self checkout which was simple. I had an issue where it couldn't detect the weogh of the cake so I couldn't pay, I went to ask a worker nearby and she fixed it for me.

They are not using tear weight while measuring the weight of the meat that you buy. We notified the manager on duty and she said that she would get back to us and she has not and it's been over an hour a very simple solution to look into, but she chose not to. Unfortunately, this is a big scam and is illegal. You are paying sometimes over $20 a pound for packaging. We also noticed that we paid for Double Trays as well. The tray underneath the meat was doubled up, so are we really getting a good deal are we really paying $19.99 for a pound of meat or are we paying for plastic and trash? We will see you in court.

This place aint so bad! Great deals once in a while. Always check your local weekly AD TO BE SAFE!…read more The speed in service could use a little bit more umfff. But its FOOD 4 LESS! WHY COMPLAIN! YOURE SAVING A BUCK OR TWO. This isnt your average organic or specialty shop. So they know youre busy, theres usually 2-3 cash registers open in the 10-15 lanes they have. So if youre in a rush, too bad. YOU WAIT WITH EVERYONE ELSE. Parking is always full on ANY GIVEN DAY HERE. So that shows you theres some sort of deals inside this establishment that worth the stop! You wont find the fancy organic stuff you get at other markets but they do have some healthy options depending what is healthy to you that is. Everything is boxed, packaged and isles are always filled! So thats good in my eyes sometimes. Overall your not going to find that super duper health food you need. Its all high in sodium and packed with FAT! Unless you opt for the rabbit food in the produce section! I get my condiments from here when I grill or little nic-nac stuff when I throw little get together with the friends. Beer is on sale always here too! JACKPOT! Since my office is near by we tend to get the fried or roasted chicken often, but never the wings they are dry and chewey and super gamey! YUCK! Get some fries too to wash down the chicken! Basically thats about it, no mac n cheese, no salads unless you want a prepackaged one. Other then that you're set! ( get some bbq sauce or FRANKS! its always cheap ) All the cashiers are super respectful and always polite. P.S. YOU BAG YOUR OWN GROCERIES. and THEY OFFER CASH BACK!

I come here for the better deals on some produce. The employees are ok cause of the language barrier they tend to keep to themselves (I guess) they pretty much got everything here. Most of the time it's pretty neat and tighty. Love the selection of produce but they're were some things I thought were overpriced to be honest. Chinese peas for 7.99 individual pods you choose and they didn't look fresh . Things like this makes the visits not worth it. Come visit maybe you will find what you need with a good price
