The store is vibrant and inviting. Before you even enter, you are welcomed by a color array of flowers and fruits. It makes me happy. Kind of like walking into Trader Joe's! Have you seen the WF hot bar? So sad compared to this one. I've had the poke bowls, pork sandwich, Okonomiyaki and of course the ooey gooey Cookie. You've got to try it for yourself. Check my photos!

WOW. Tacoma Boys might genuinely have the best grocery selection I've seen in Washington State…read more The quality AND the pricing are what really got me. The produce section is incredible, the meat selection might be the best I've seen at a grocery store, and somehow the prices are still surprisingly reasonable for the quality and variety they carry. And it just keeps going. Fresh florals, pumpkins and seasonal finds, specialty groceries, pantry staples and seemingly every random thing you suddenly decide you need once you're inside. This is absolutely the kind of place where you walk in needing three things and end up wandering every aisle because there's something else worth looking at. The store itself is also one of the nicest grocery stores I've shopped in from an organization and presentation standpoint. Everything is beautifully shelved, easy to navigate and thoughtfully laid out, so even with the insane amount of product, it never feels chaotic or overwhelming. The shopping flow is SO good. The staff is also TOP TIER. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and helpful, which somehow made an already impressive first visit even better. If you actually enjoy grocery shopping or cooking, good luck leaving quickly. And they're open 24 hours?! Being able to get genuinely great produce, quality meat, fresh flowers and specialty groceries at literally any hour is kind of insane. Honestly, I feel dumb for grocery shopping anywhere else, especially living in Tacoma. Tacoma Boys may have just redefined what a 5-star grocery store looks like for me. 5/5. No notes.

The actual packaging that was left over weighted almost 14 oz! A little over half a pound of chicken is missing!

Trader Joe's publishes a friendly flyer, which is advertisement of all their products that they sell at their stores. Wherever I go, especially when I'm traveling ,I always look for a Trader Joe's because I know they have a wide range of quality products. They're much different than typical grocery store.

Compared to the location in Seattle, I thought the Central Co-op location in Tacoma was just okay…read more The pluses are that it is on a busy road on your way to Point Defiance Park and there is a large parking lot. The space feels roomy, though somewhat dimly lit and sterile. Pricing is decent and competitive with PCC and Whole Foods. It does not have as many local products as the Seattle store, fresh bread in particular. They do carry some unique products like corn tortillas made in Shelton and baguettes from Vashon. Overall, I like this chain but prefer the Seattle store for selection.

* Closing Store Notice* It was announced two weeks ago that…read morethis Fred Meyer store is closing by the parent company Kroger. This store felt like it wasn't too long ago that this store got remodeled which left it more confusing to find items in general but eventually the kinks got worked out as I learned where items were. Fred Meyer had higher prices than many other of their competitors on various soft lines and hard lines. Clothes were noticeably higher than the competitors. I imagine part of the reason it is closing is due to high theft but I assumed it wouldn't be as high compared to the now closed 72nd location. Perhaps it's also a factor that Kroger is miffed with a failed merger. I didn't go here too terribly often more recently but I did go here on occasion to get knee braces and distilled water for my C-Pap machine. This leaves just a smaller supermarket location in town and the selection is poorer compared to a regular Fred Meyer store. This will leave a regular store for shoppers to be redirected to University Place or Spanaway.

However it is similarly set up. They do sell their bakery bread (from another store). They stock their yummy kettle corn. Their prices are great.

Lines do take awhile but they have self check out for 10 items or less. Remember no credit taken here; bring your ATM card or use your phone debit card. Great to have this store close to my home.
