I will say that I am a sucker for shopping at "WinCo Foods" as I have been a frequent shopper of them for the past few decades. And this one is absolutely no exception! Located directly off of S. Virginia St and adjacent to S. Meadows Pkwy in the southern part of Reno, this is one of three locations in the Reno metropolitan area (with the other two stores in north Reno and Sparks). The parking lot is actually quite spacious with ample room to get in and out to the main road. During my visit which was on Friday 7/3/2026 at around 1:30pm, it was fairly busy but the store itself had a great open layout. Those of you that don't know this about WinCo Foods is that they are a private employee-owned company. Prices are probably the best you will find anywhere other than Costco but here you won't get the massive crowds that Costco experiences on any given day. Keep in mind that WinCo only accepts cash, debit cards, and Apple Pay/Google Pay as they do not take credit cards of any kind. Also, you must bag your own groceries but this is their trademark to all of their locations in the western United States. I do want to add that since this is the state of Nevada, this WinCo actually has a small dedicated area (towards the front) where slot machines are available. This is great for those that want to avoid the hustle and bustle of going to an actual casino. In addition to that, they also have an area where alcohol is sold, a customer service area (where you can buy cigarettes, money orders, money transfers, payroll check cashing, and much more). Public restrooms are also available towards the front area of the supermarket. As for the store itself, much of the produce (fruit/veggies) was very fresh and well stocked. They also carry a huge assortment of bulk foods (nuts, rice, pasta, flour, candy, etc.). an amazing variety of meat & poultry, a dedicated bakery and deli section, and just about everything else you can think of. I find their selection to be much better than other big box grocery stores as this place always carries what I am looking for. Best of all, they are open 24 hours. When I made all my purchases, I went to the self check-out aisle (as they accept cash, debit, or tap-to-pay). The whole process was seamless and easy. All in all, the south Reno "WinCo Foods" gets a respectable four-star rating. read more

Still lovin the bulk section at WinCo. Lots of options for trail mix and dried fruits. Friendly staff. Great prices. Always busy.

Friendly, helpful, with good prices. Lots of parking good location. Checker are very fast.

Winco associate with blue hair in the self checkout is absolutely ridiculous. Targeted a pregnant lady and stole 2 ravioli cans out of her cart. The lady she targeted was in tears while people all around had more than 15 items in their carts. This associate was rude and flat out vile. Super unprofessional. If this is how winco employees treat their customers I will never return. That was ridiculous to watch. read more

I've bought a few tri tips from this Winco that are supposed to be trimmed. In the photo you will see it is not trimmed. This is not a brisket so I remove the fat cap they are leaving on, but the kicker is, the packaging says trimmed, and the fat side is down so you can't see it. Other grocery stores say trimmed, and they're actually trimmed. This is probably another 3/4 to a pound of fat included in the trimmed price. read more

We got another chance to shop at WinCo Foods and this time around it was less crowded since it was a week day. The store is massive and they carry a huge variety of inventory; the amount of items you can still buy in bulk is surprising. The store not only has a small food counter in the front of the store by the cashier plus it has a good-size deli in one corner of the store and a bakery on the other side. The store has a huge selection of fresh and frozen meats and seafood plus a humongous selection of pre-packaged frozen food items as well as canned goods, and everything in between. The employees are mostly helpful and nice, the prices are pretty average, the store is clean and well-organized; this is a really nice store. read more

Glad the remodel is looking so much better. I was able to get a few turkeys over holiday pretty cost effective. Love it. Then I ran in for a few quick items the other day. In and out super quick. Nice read more

Okay Okay, I am starting to get my produce from this brand. But only when I am with my wife, as I do not have an ATM card, lol. Nor do I have cash, lol. Quality/Quantity - When in the Bay Area, I get my produce from Food Max or Cardenas; both brands I believe are NOT in Reno. Your produce here seems even fresher and plenty in stock. Also good and decent low prices. Neat and organized also. Thank you. Atmosphere - See above. I also sometimes get some beer from here. Plenty of mall parking. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Departments at this location - Grocery, bulk food, deli, bakery, etc. Service - Self service. Price - Inexpensive. But inconvenient since I do not have cash or an ATM card. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1967 and your 139 employee owned locations. 1985 - After the passing of the founder, all the employees chipped in to buy a controlling interest in the company through the newly created Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). read more

I had a very disappointing experience at the WinCo checkout today with Eva (Cashier 8-9). My wife was purchasing a single BuzzBall with her own debit card and had her valid ID ready. The cashier told us that Nevada law requires every person with the purchaser to show ID. I explained that I wasn't involved in the purchase and even said, "That's okay, I'll just step away since I have nothing to do with it." Despite that, Eva refused to sell the alcohol to my wife. Throughout the interaction, she was rude and repeatedly insisted that she was "the one in charge" and that it was "the law." To my understanding, Nevada law does not require every person standing nearby to present ID when only one adult is making the purchase with valid identification. If this is a WinCo policy, it should have been explained as such instead of being presented as state law. I understand and respect the need to verify age and prevent illegal sales, but customers also deserve to be treated respectfully and given accurate information. This interaction was unnecessarily confrontational and left a very negative impression. read more

I been shopping here for some time now along with another store closer to home. I like the produce section I just wish some of it was from our country and not Mexico. I understand in winter we can not grow many of the items they can but I find it during other times of the year also. Also the meat selection is poor. Not a lot of variety and many times the meat is of lower quality (tough, fatty). The ground beef is the worst, it is all fat. I like lean meat and it is hard to find here. I do like the prices on some of the products but some have really gone up. The best buy for me here is the bran flake cereal because it is real bran. It is so much better than the store brand at Smith's. In the cheese section, they only have the large chunks to buy, not the 8 oz. I like a smaller amount for cheese and crackers. If you shop here later in the day, expect lines. But over-all it is a nice clean store that they are remodeling. read more

I've been coming to this WINCO since I moved to Reno over 10 years ago. I went again yesterday knowing they would have the items I needed in stock. Not only was I able to find what I needed but also a few I didn't need but wanted. What really surprised me was the renovation going on. New freezers and refrigerators are being installed. The layout of some of the isles is being improved and the store feels more open and easier to navigate. I look forward to seeing it all completed. read more

I used to buy model dairy milk at winco reno northtowne until they started spoiling it. So I switched to organic valley carton with a 30+ day expiration. Now they started spoiling that milk too (as I'm sick to my stomach right now -I wish I could sue them) therefor I will never shop there again if they're willing to make people sick just so (they think) they can sell their inferior products !!! read more

So I go in .. pick up a few items . Then I decide to buy a few extra individual bottles of sparkling water (6) near the registers . I go to the self check out .. which are all open as no one is there. I'm then approached by an older lady ( Checkout Nazi ) who says this is for only 15 item or less .. I look in my cart and say well it's very close . ( about 15 items) I actually wasn't sure how many items I had .. I didn't think to count ... was she eyeing my cart and counting? Well now she counts my items .. I actually had 19 items and tells me I can't use the self checkout and have to go to the register. Ok ? But she was extremely rude .. authoritarian behavior. Apparently delighted she caught me .. lol. And there wasn't anyone there in line or checking out .. all the self checkouts were completely open ! read more

I love to shop at this Winco! The fruit and produce is always fresh and plentiful. Having so many choices is very important to us. The scones in the bakery are so good and I really like their prices. The employees are always friendly and willing to help if I need assistance. I try to always tell them how much I love their store when I'm there. We drive from NW Reno and find it is well worth it. Keep up the great work and we will see you next time. read more

I shop at WinCo regularly and I love the Northtowne location. Their prices are usually lower than other grocery chains and that's why I keep coming back. The store is clean and well stocked. I do not mind waiting in line when this store is busy. I have met some nice people waiting in line with me. They understand how popular and busy our WinCo can get at times. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service. All the former good employees who were friendly and knowledgeable are gone and after 25 years of swearing by this location, I will never be back. Literally the worst experience Ive had grocery shopping in the past 25 years in South Reno. Who is managing this place now? They are failing miserably! Looked at other reviews, thought I should clarify, the Deli is THE WORST with some of the most incompetent and apathetic deli workers I have had the misfortune of interacting with second only to the express lane as the young man who was overseeing the area is rude and inexperienced in proper customer service etiquette and rather full of himself. I did not purchase the Honey Turkey, which should not have been sold anyway upon further inspection so I hope it was disposed of. The only good employee I was thankful to have encountered was the sweet checkout lady I had after being redirected by the terrible self check out staff. After 25 years, congratulations, I will now be shopping only at Smiths or Safeway in South Reno for my weekly groceries since everything is so overpriced anyway, Id much rather have a pleasant experience with more pleasant people. Your old staff was amazing. Sad to see the change. read more

Your company has the most Rude workers I have ever dealt with. They don't smile, walk right in front of people and make the customer stop abruptly. The new store layout doesn't make sense in some things. When the workers are on a "smoke" break they head straight to the front and smoke out front. Maybe the company should make them smoke out the back door instead. People don't appreciate that they have to walk by while a worker blows smoke right at them as they walk by. Do some customer service training Winco. read more

Usually a good experience, however I feel I need to express this unfortunate instance: A bit later, I went shopping for some holiday ingredients. Most of the checkout lanes were blocked off, a long with the bread area. I walked by the barricade so I could snag some potato bread, and asked they guys who were cleaning the floor if they could grab it....they acknowledged and brushed me off. I grabbed it myself, and frustrated flipped them off. (My freedom) Alma approached me and said I was disrespectful and refused me service. What!? Anyway I started to defend myself, and was met with complete disrespect. Some may say I deserve it for being frustrated, but I still have rights...wonder where those went? I actually have a whole video recording of this completely disrespectful situation, but I'm not sure how to edit it to fit this upload. Anyways, it's Bananas!!...how employers are allowed to be so rude! read more

If I could put a negative 5 stars I would. Karen one of the cashiers working self check out was absolutely rude. Kicking me out of the line and her attitude had other customers questioning her problem. I had 17 items to pay with a card, my partner had cash so I unloaded his items at the cash side. There was one other customer that turned around and asked her is it really that big of a deal?! All other lanes were long and people had full carts. Will not be returning and will drive an additional 35 mins on top of my hour and a half drive to avoid that type of customer service. And Kevin I spoke to was kind, saying he'd bring up this issue with management. Sounds like this isn't her first time. read more

Parking lot busy and store busy but checkout was a breeze! Shortest lines I can ever remember. Cashiers are always friendly and don't seem stressed. I was disappointed that they did not have gluten free graham pie crust, so will have to make another stop. read more

Don't go in at night if you are handicap and have a hard time moving around. They block the main walk ways all around the store and if you ask them for help they tell you to go F,,, yourself and to get out of the store. I asked him for his name but, got the response ( F,,, you ) with some mucking response about my name. I talk with the store manager and that didn't seem to go anywher. This store doesn't have any customer service read more

We don't have a WinCo where I am from, so this was an experience. They have so much variety and great prices. It's a big box grocery store without the membership. Lots of item availability in bulk. I was impressed with the prices albeit a simplistic store. The service was fine. My only issue was they do not take credit cards so bring cash or an ATM card. read more

Always clean with plenty of food choices to choose from. The walk in aisle has top bargains. Great meat selection, bulk spices, candy, pasta, grains, cereals, coffee, etc. you can still buy the box versions but you save the most taking the time to buy bulk. I always come for the fresh spices to restock my pantry. Candy is a bargain too. New location in north valley. Sign below shared that they are currently hiring. read more

On the average this store has good stock and some really good deals. Mainly on meat that's what my family and I mainly shop for. Staff has its up and downs but on average at least pleasant. We use the deli area 3 to 4 times a week and the team back there normally very nice and friendly just make sure you get there before they are getting ready to close. Only thing I think they could work on is more checkouts open but I know that's a thing everywhere. Oh. The bakery is super good. Buy their bread over the big box brand. You won't be disappointed. read more

Kind , great prices , and 24 hours Always there to help with whatever your looking for and happy to help find items for you instead of just pointing and saying over there on some isle! Haven't had one person who didn't go out of there way to help read more

My favorite place to shop for groceries throughout the western U.S. This location has the same great layout and a variety of products which is perfect for one-stop shopping. The store is open 24-hours and the store opens a number of registers when crowded. This location also features self-checkout and disinfecting wipes for your cart. read more

Well, I went here yesterday and the items I.Walmart, but today I went in for Non Alcoholic Beer, Heineken 00, and Corona. They were both more expensive than Walmart, and I got taxed on it. I have bought non alcoholic beer at Lee's, Ben's, and Walmart and haven't been taxed. When I asked the clerk why I got taxed, he said because of the alcohol. I told him it's non alcoholic. Then he was rude and told me I'd get taxed on it everywhere I bought it. I told him not true and I have bought it at many places and not been taxed and I won't be back. The clerk said, and I quote, "Fine by me." Ugh! No customer service at all. I definitely won't be back now. Also, a few other things I wanted to buy were more expensive than Walmart. read more

Love winco deli. Love that they carry zero sugar Mike's hard lemonades. Don't love that I saw a rat run across the aisle.

My go to Winco. Clean, not very crowded most of the time and always stocked nicely. I guess being close to my work helps too

I love Winco, but whoever changed the pizza to the premade garbage that it is now should be fired!! My family got a combo pizza and a pepperoni pizza, on Oct 2 , my kids and their friends hated it, they are only $8.98 but when no one likes the taste and you put hardly any toppings on the pizza it's not worth it. We got multiple pizzas for our work meeting and it was one of the first times ever no one ate it, everyone said it tasted horrible and didn't believe it was from Winco. We have gotten Winco pizza for our meetings for years. The combo literally had 8 to 10 pieces of sausage, probably six or seven pieces of green peppers and onions. The pizzas barely had sauce and tasted worse than a tony's pizza that you would get from the freezer section. Please go back to the way you had it. It was awesome! I used to shop for food while waiting for the pizza probably 3 to 4 times a month now I won't so you're not just losing Pizza sales. The one star review is so you notice it and fix the pizza!!!!!!! read more

Why is this store so dirty? The floors were filthy. I like Winco but today was a turnoff.

WinCo is the best. They only accept forms of EBT or debit card, keep that in mind if you want to check them out. They have a HUGE selection of good food. Their vegetable prices are the best. I was able to make seventeen meals preps with $62 worth of groceries. They have an amazing price on the fresh salmon and the tofu. They do have a bulk section as well! Last time I was there they were selling garbanzo beans for 60cents. The place is huge so expect to be there for a while if you want to get to see most of the store. They also have a good frozen section and bakery section. Seriously, I love this store. read more

Always a shits show here, they never have cashiers, lines get backed up. The self checkout people are always rude. Fuck this place honestly.

Winco is awesome. Everything so much less than other stores. Fruits and veggies freshest and big selection. Their employees are very kind and helpful. Always clean floors and products well stocks and organized. read more

24 hours, bins of awesome snacks, and the best food prices in town! Clean restrooms and cashiers are very friendly.

Had the MOST RIDICULOUS experience at the Winco in the South of Reno. I accidently bought two macaroni salads for a party. I wanted one potato, and one macaroni. I brought back one of the macaroni salads UNOPENED AND WITH A RECEIPT...and they REFUSED my return by stating management would yell at them. Are you KIDDING ME????? IT IS A PACKAGE OF MACARONI SALAD...WITH A RECEIPT!!!! I have shopped WEEKLY there for YEARS AND HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, AND THEY REFUSED TO RETURN A MACARONI SALAD WORTH $5.00!!!!! I even brought up their own RETURN POLICY...and she still refused. Then behaved as if she wanted to fight me. I've never seen anything so ridiculous IN MY LIFETIME! It wasn't Winco's fault....it was HER FAULT (red curly hair w/behavior problem) . WHAT A COMPLETE IDIOT! read more

Thought this would be another hum-drum supermarket, but no!! Its like a bulk budget market with quality products. Kind of if Sprouts and Walmart had a kid! So came in for the Deli and prepared foods and were blown away at the variety of sandwiches, sushi and cheese snacks. Actually, even more blown away by the prices. The bakery looked like they bake a lot of their products right there. There is 6 self check out stations if ya don't have too many items. read more
