Fred Meyer

It’s been years since I’ve been to a Fred Meyer since they don’t have them on the east coast, but I was used to seeing them in Alaska during my residence on the other side of the country. Fred Meyer certainly isn’t cheap. It’s a high value Target, for those who have never visited. And it stays the same amount of busy as a Target does. It also has a grocery store side and a busy parking lot to match all that it offers.
When United lost all of my belongings on 10÷23÷15 and I was staying in a remote camp for a leadership workshop retreat over the weekend with nothing to wear but flipflops, jeans, a light shirt, and a sweatshirt, a nice lady gave me a ride to Fred Meyer.
I rushed over to the women’s department since I had a short amount of time. It was easy to find a cute, mature looking sweater in the Junior’s dept. I would shop in the women’s or other ladies’ departments, but honestly, the clothing seems made for 50 year olds. I’m in my 30’s and slim so I’d rather stick with Juniors since it’s more stylish, while also being professional. I found the one sweater, then wandered over to find some underwear and a sports bra. Their underwear was either super cheap or very expensive and either very colorful or boring. Finally got what I needed. Sports bras were too fancy and also expensive, but I finally found one that would do.
Then I needed to find some shoes. I found an Associate, who ended up being a manager. I told her my situation — United lost all my stuff, staying in a remote location with flipflops, professional leadership workshop, and needing to find items that were already missing from my current wardrobe. Perhaps some brown/​tan flats would do? She helped me find a pair of brown shoes with just the right amount of wedge. Professional, but comfortable and easygoing; however, a little loose in the heel. No problem; she found heel inserts right away. I asked for help trying to find another shirt. Too much sheer. I ended up just settling with what I had, in hopes that my bag would arrive that day or the next…
The manager then ended up following me to the register, where she discounted each item on my list. I could have cried because I was so grateful. Fred Meyer isn’t cheap, I didn’t have a shopping budget for this trip, and I was just grateful to have a Manager be so kind as to work so hard to look for other items with me and then discount my purchases that way. What a wonderful person and definitely made Fred Meyer seem a lot more «for the people» than before.

This Fred Myers has the worst parking lot in Kitsap County. It takes so long to get parked here that I would rarther walk there then try to drive in and park. You can’t hardly even drive thought it takes so long. Once inside (usually after 15 to 20 min. Of frustration) its ok. But I would rather go to any other grocery store than FM. Unless it’s real late at night.

This is the best Fred Meyer I’ve ever shopped in, when I go to other Freddy’s, I feel so lost. The natural section has been expanded, they now carry lots of gluten free products, and loads of frozen meal options. This store was recently remodeled, and I think that it’s beautiful, and very well laid out. If you’re a Starbucks fan, you’ll love how big an area they set aside for tables to enjoy your yummy coffee from!
The cashiers are so nice, especially the ones in the self checkouts, Victoria is a long time employee, she ALWAYS greets me with a big smile, asks about my family, and has remembered my name from the day I met her! Where else have I been treated so well? Not anywhere but my favorite stove, Fred Meyer on Sedgwick!
Make sure you stop at this store if you’re ever in Port Orchard, you’ll find everything you need.

Kid you not we bought at regular price these ribs. Didn’t notice they expire the next day and turned green a couple days later. They are the worst for meat.

Very sorry to see the half-​page gun ad in today’s Sunday paper. There are few good places to shop in Pt Orchard and Freddys has the best selection and prices, bar none. From now on, however, i will try to do most of my shopping elsewhere. The timing of this very first gun ad is pretty telling. Bad message, in my view.

I love shopping at Fred Meyer but I hate this store! They never have ads available at the entrance so you have to wait in the customer service line to get one, and the cashiers give you attitude if you don’t have the coupons or if you don’t rip them out of the ad. They have a policy regarding how many customers they allow to wait in line before they open up additional registers however they do not do that with their customer service desk. I waited in line almost 20 minutes while this poor girl had a steady line of no less than five customers at a time yesterday. The girl at the desk did a great job trying to move the line, but her manager came over TWICE and did not help her with the line. Sometimes I do get a friendly cashier, but this store has awful customer service overall.
