Lucky

I was in the area and this isn’t my usual store but decided to do my weekly stock up here. The layout is super weird and small. I could see this as an old cvs or something at some point. It wasn’t a total disappointment for me I kind of like the small feel of it and the fun treasure hunt of finding what I’m looking for in odd places. The biggest gripe I had was the cashier. First he scolded me for putting items too close together on the belt. Did this to the person behind me as well so I guess I wasn’t singled out. He was also really rude and condescending to the very nice guy that was bagging. Seriously, I had never had such poor customer service at checkout before. He needs some serious retraining. This was also the same guy you could hear over the speaker every 5 minutes complaining he needed help when there was only two people in line.

This is a pleasant representative of Lucky SaveMart. Relaxed atmosphere. Has Redboxes outside. ATM is from Bank of America, not from some other bank which I do not wish to use. The neighborhood highly values this store!

I’ve been going here for years and I love the people here. Everyone is super friendly from the cashiers like Ron, Felipe, Daliaha, Brian, to the runners and helpers like Anton, Kenny, Jenny, Mohammad, Jessica. I know I’m missing more people, but I can’t remember them all. I know that the produce guys are super helpful. Especially if I request fresher items. We have a new fruit or veggie challenge in my house every week. I pick out a new veggie or fruit and then take it home and cook and serve it. Our favorite was the jackfruit. I’ve never had one before and it looked so foreign to me. Half the battle with children is them fearing to try something new. I have taken that fear away by encouraging them to try something new every week. Now they see something they dig in, if they don’t like it the first time, they will come back a second and third time to make sure they don’t like it. ⁹⁄₁₀ times they enjoy the food I provide for them. They hate Brussels sprouts except for one of my 3 children. I had the produce guy select a jackfruit for me and it was juicy, sweet and delicious. I highly recommend asking ur grocer what is fresh, in season and local.

Smaller then other lucky stores I been too but I find what I need most of the time.
The down side is the cash registers there is usually only one open every single time I have gone. other then that is ok I like its clean and not crowded

My wife and I were in Fremont this afternoon and stopped randomly at this store to get some groceries.
Decided to get lunch to go at the Deli counter.
We were served by a nice clerk named Brian.
He not only made a great sandwich he was very friendly and conversational and we appreciated the good service we got.
Thanks Brian!

Half stocked, flies throughout the store, one cashier, terrible rotted mushrooms. I have found molded items on the shelves including bread. Over priced for low par!

Yes, it’s true that this place has limited stock on things… And it also only has one cashier at pretty much any given time (even when they call for help.) There is also not a lot going on in the store. However, I appreciate the closeness of the store to my house if I need to just grab a few small things. Located near Starbucks and Daily Bagel Shop, it’s actually pretty convenient to shop here. The Redbox also helps bring me here.
Cashiers are pretty nice for the most part. There’s also that one funny guy. Haha.
While this is no 5 star supermarket, I think it deserves 3 stars for effort! Hang in there!

Revolt at my local Lucky’s Supermarket !! Tonight I finally had it. I am stuck in a line at my local store with 4 things that I am clutching in my arms and there are maybe 4 – 5 people in front of me and possibly another 10 or so behind me. The cashier is desperately calling for help over the intercom multiple times while bag boy Mohammad stands in the corner looking at a clipboard the entire time. Finally I yell out Mohammad’s name…“What the hell is wrong with you !!! Get over here and do your f-​ing job dude !!”. Finally a female cashier shows up and then all of a sudden Mohammad rushes over. I’m like dude at this point I don’t want you touching my groceries… it’s way too late for you to help”. Sure enough over the intercom Mohammad gets called to the back of the store to clean up a spill over something. The new female cashier hands me several comment cards and tells me to please fill them out and send them in. Oh I will be doing more than filling out the comment cards… trust me… next time… if there is a next time I will have a nice conversation with the store manager let alone calling the corporation to follow up on my comment cards. I really miss the Nob Hill in Milpitas where we used to live — it was 10,000 x better than this horrible grocery store we have now near our home. Whole Foods is very good too except it is so darn expensive in comparison. If I were corporate Luckys I might keep 1 or 2 people and fire the rest… but I suspect these people might belong to a Union because they sure act like they do !!

I just had to make time to write this review. This Luckys is right by my house and I only go for emergancy pucrchases. Today I went and the only friendly person was the bagger. Some of the emplyees there are just NOT friendly. I did not get a hello, thank or have a nice day by the cashier today. Seriously not even eye contact– he should defintely not be in the customer service industry. I also have to say that every time Ive gone in the people who were less friendly have always been male, the females usually at least say hello. This store is seriously my least favorite plus is expensive.

Closet store to my house, but I only come here when I need a couple of things.
Needs a remodel or refresh or something! Dated, old store.
Often, only 1 or 2 checkers working.
Three’s a crowd?! Hello?!

This store is a joke. Horrible selection, horrible customer service, slow checkout times, disgusting looking meats and produce. 3’s a crowd doesn’t apply at this store. I think Lukcy’s needs to shut this place down. It’s run down, dirty, poorly staffed… shall I go on?

Located in a small shopping plaza right off Mission Blvd. I’ve come here a handful of times because it’s a lot less crowded than other grocery stores & I feel like I can take my time here to shop around.
The store is small though, and doesn’t have a good selection of fresh produce/​meat/​seafood. I feel like they didn’t have as many items marked down as other stores either. They do however, have friendly & helpful service. I would shop here more often if they had better quality & variety of fresh items.

This review is just for Felipe. One of the most enthusiastic and hardest-​working cashiers/​store clerks I’ve ever met.

This place gets a bad rap. I do agree with it being very small and limited. This store isn’t going to get a makeover or remodel though, as I’m guessing there isn’t much clientele that comes through here on a daily basis. I think people who live in the area shop here, but that’s about it.
Also with Fremont becoming one of the more diverse cities in the state of California, which is already diverse, people do their shopping at different stores. IE, Ranch 99, Seafood City, Halal Market, Chavez Super Market. Those stores simply have cut into the typical Lucky/​Safeway business that was the only game in town in the 80’s/90’s.
Having said that, there’s nothing wrong with it, just life, & change. Of course, Lucky corporate would probably disagree with that though. Lol
I do like this branch though, and recommend shopping here if you’re in the area and need groceries. They have great customer service.

Small, old Lucky’s but serves the area quite well. Lines tend to run long.
Could use a big makeover.

probably the smallest lucky’s i’ve been in.
looked like a ghost town here, just 2 cashiers and 4 people in line, 1 was a lucky employee. slooooow checkout.
liquor had 0 large bottles microbrews, just a few 6 packs.
(found out Mission Liquors is cleaning their clock)
buys: arizona tea, buy one, get one free (.99)
notes:
-«shaq» soft drinks available here (.88)
not exclusive to 7 – 11.
–lots of «special» tags noticed.

I seriously can’t understand why and how this store survives. They carry pretty mediocre stuff — nothing interesting to buy and to top it service is crappy as well. I would much rather drive to Raley’s or TJ’s. And with the new Whole Foods coming later this year — lucky should just shut this store down.

It’s always been so convenient for me to stop on my way home after leaving Bart before catching the freeway but after my last visit, I’d had enough because I’ve always been patient and endured long lines most of the time.
All I wanted was some seafood and no one was at the counter so I did other shopping and came back, still — no one, no bell and a sign to not go past the door where the meat kitchen is. I tried to be patient but was told after waiting that the employee was on a break. So if someone is on a break, shouldn’t someone relieve him? Nope, not here.
I had to get home because I’d left work early and I’d already been here for 20 minutes when all I needed to do was pop in and out. So I got fed up, went to the checkout and asked the clerk before he rang me up if he could ring me up for 1.5 lbs of scallops @ the price and he said yes, then after he rung up my produce he said he needed it to be weighed and couldn’t ring it up — wtf??? So I told him, «I have to go back and stand in line again?» He said he’d keep the receipt to add to the final checkout so it wouldn’t be rang twice. So I go back and finally a young man is there. If he wasn’t one of the nicest people I’d ever talked to then I would have raised my voice but I kept my cool. He gave me the scallops and I go back only to wait in yet another long line. Finally, I get rung up by a gal with a curt attitude when I told her I had to get home because I had company coming and how I had spent too much time there after leaving work early.
Then I get home and my company arrives at the same time. No time to prep, freshen up — nope, all because the service in the store sucks horribly. It’s not even a supermarket, it’s limited with no help anywhere in the store.
I was so pissed that I filed a complaint with their corporate office. It takes a lot for me to do something like that! I’ll never come here again — ever!

As others have said, the selection for groceries is limited, but it was never really an issue for me, because the only times I ventured into Lucky’s was to get lunch there during high school.
Their chicken strips + fries + side salad deal saved me from eating mediocre school-​food when I wasn’t in the mood for The Daily Bagel Café [my number one choice for lunch!] and my friends wanted to go to this area. They gave a TON of food, for about $ 5. Definitely worth it. It would be 2 meals for me, but I usually just split with my bestie or gave the rest to some poor hungry sap who stayed at school for lunch. It wasn’t the best [or healthiest.] meal, but much better than school lunches [ugh]. Service is alright — sometimes it takes a little longer than others, but we made do in high school: P

Limited supplies, higher prices.
The time I was there the frozen chicken looked pre-​historic!
bleck! that’s why it was on sale!
Poorly laid out.
