*** Pit stop review (Brawley) *** Needed to take a break and…read morepick up some supplies. This Walmart location is just the place. I remembered stopping here a few years back when it was newly built. The facility is huge, with super wide isles, and very clean and organized. The location is right off of the main road, Hwy 86. So there's no need to make extra turns to travel too far inland. If you're passing through it's a nice place to pick up supplies. Here's what I liked... * New facility. So everything is very clean and organized. * Easy access off of the main highway. * Easy access / pull-through parking spaces. A lot of available spaces to choose from. * Really friendly people in the area. It seems like Brawley is a working-class agricultural community. There is definitely something about small towns where both the store patrons and the employees are friendlier than usual. For example, the employees are very helpful in finding items. I had a car actually stop to let me cross the street. I received an "excuse me", a "pardon me", one "thank you", and a "hello". This is all in one visit to the store! What the heck??? I've gotta say, I've been having a sh*tty week. This is pretty nice to see :-) Here's what I didn't like... * Too bad nicer people are 200 miles away from home :-) ha ha ha... * Hmm... I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about? I had a really good experience. * Nothing else comes to mind. Shopping area = clean and organized. Service = friendly Restroom = clean, but I still hate the toilet seat tagging thing. That's sooo lame...

This lady was extremely rude to me. She gave me the dirtiest look and spoke unkindly. Worst brat…read moreattitude employee I have ever come across there. She's also ugly.

Convenience store cum food take out called "The Chow" for the artsy community of Bombay Beach…read more There is a vague Christian mood with a television droning out some mystical, esoteric program and a saying out of the bible pasted on the front window of Bombay Beach Market.  Some parts of the store have a department store like feeling with products displayed like featured items for display. Mostly dry and canned goods, but there is a small refrigerator of packaged deli meats.  I found some rare canned foods from the South that are not found in most Socal grocery stores. Glory Southern Style Spinach from North Carolina and Southgate Beef Hash from Tennesee. Apparently the owners are from the South according to the quietly diffident lady sales clerk.   Rest of the store has cleaning goods, odds & ends medicinals, basic hardware, tools. Also, the store is dedicated to the owners' eclectic objets d'art that depicts another vague feeling of the South Pacific or the Carribean.  Bombay Market is only store in town between  North Beach and Niland. Only other food establishment in Bombay Beach is the iconic, nostalgic, slightly whimsical Ski Inn which is a restaurant and bar owned by a nice lady owner who wants to see a Bombay Beach tradition be carried on.  Posted The Chow Menu photo 2021-4   3+ stars.

Avoid this place like. The plague!!!! Got a chicken there and gave me food poisoning!!…read moreThe owners are horrible people, the buy the stock with there food stamps and they triple the price, they also go to food banks get food ment for the poor and sell it. In addition they buy cigarettes from the Indian casino and ILLEGALLY sell it in the store. LOOK AT ALL EXPIRATION DATES!! COMPLETE SCAM artists, they rip everyone off. Ps no license, and no insurance. They are operating 100% illegally. Do not support there scam

I love WinCo. I seek out these stores when I'm traveling and when I have moved, finding the nearest…read moreone to me. While there are closer stores I could shop at, I religiously travel the distance to shop at the Indio location. Great prices, clean store, AMAZING wide aisles where we could have drag races with our carts if we wanted. LOVE the deli, sushi & pizza! But...what I love THE MOST? The employees. From the Dope AF guy in the deli that knows our order, the amazing employees who always give their time to help with questions and those amazing cashiers. In today's society where we're getting more & more disconnected from one another I think the biggest thing this company & store gives is that nostalgic, hometown, community vibe and that's not an easy achievement for such a large store - but they do! This store makes grocery shopping a more enjoyable experience! Well done to everyone who works at this location & thank you for being in the Coachella Valley!

We don't live in the Coachella Valley but when we go, we try to go to one of two Winco's , this…read moreone, or the one on the way in Pomona. The selection of veggies and fruits is unbeatable, as well as the selection of *most* things. The prices, oh the prices, if only we can get these prices in LA. I can't recall anything being more expensive than a Ralph's, Vons or Smart & Final. The only section that could be better as far as selection is alcohol. Don't expect super high-end stuff. But it's a *decent* selection nonetheless. Service - be patient; you're saving money because they save money by not hiring as many people as they should. Also you must bag your groceries. This presents a bit of a challenge for folks like me who are disabled (I can stand but am a fall hazard). Ambiance - um it's a generic grocery store. Don't expect bachata music to dance to while you pick the spiciest peppers. 5 stars for selection and prices 3-4 stars for service (still better than your avg Ralphs!)
