The Store

I like The Store but every time I get something from their pre-​prepared frozen meats section, it’s as low quality as Walmart or worse. It says it’s Meier’s but it tastes chemically or has bones or gristle in it or just an odd texture. I don’t believe they’re aware or care about this section’s quality. Otherwise I like their selection and customer service

Stopped in to check out; was at a store nearby. Awesome local store; prices are a bit high compared to large chains, but service an quality is great. Sample the Tri-​Tip! Yum! Great deli counter and their meats and seafood counters are awesome.

There are always new items to check out here.
Their prices are higher than national chain stores, but worth it for fresh, unique groceries.
Their baggers carry groceries to your car and are friendly. Most cashiers are nice too.
I love shopping here!

Cute, charming store, with fun specialty items you don’t find at a lot of the chain grocery stores. Along with specialty items it has all the necessities of everyday grocery needs. Every worker there is extremely happy, and very helpful.

Although I’ve shopped at the store for years, I may have to change my shopping habits. In the last year or so I’ve found many products on the shelves are expired. Recently I picked up some fruit spread for a brunch I was having. When I pulled it out to serve, my son asked if I had noticed it expired over 8 months ago! That incident was just a long line of similar problems I’ve noticed recently. Very sad and it seems that the management simply isn’t interested in correcting it. I admit that I am visually challenged and should pull out my glasses everytime I grab something off the shelf, but I don’t feel like I should have to do that. Although The Store gladly takes products like this back, I have to make a special trip to resolve the issue and don’t have the item I purchased when I need it. I wish Jeff and his staff would take the quality of their products, especially in light of the high end cost, more seriously. It’s no longer convenient if you have to return or throw away items on a regular basis.
The Store II seems to be negligected even more that the original location. You almost feel as though the older products, including meat, produce and canned goods are sent to the Holladay location. I don’t shop there any longer.

Along with The Other Place, The Store goes onto my list of «Places with names that are somewhat annoying in a conversational context, but are awesome nonetheless.» That being said, it really is awesome. I don’t know what it is, but the charm of this place is so endearing to me.
Really, I only came here for one reason, and that was for the chicken salad.
You must be thinking, what in the heck is she talking about? Like, the pre-​packed chicken salad? And yes, I do mean that, their chicken salad has to be the best thing I’ve eaten in a really long time. And by best, I mean, most surprisingly good that I couldn’t help but finish off an entire half sized container to myself within about four days. So basically every lunch/​snack for a series of four days. It’s strange because the chicken salad isn’t anything out of the ordinary, but it’s just done well, and the seasoning is just perfect.
Everything about The Store just makes me smile on the inside. Not just their chicken salad, but the fact that they have great quality products, all packed within a really small space, as well as amazing customer service. I only wish I lived closer then when I say «I’m going to the store» it garners a bit more excitement than it usually does.

What an adorable little store! This is the kind of place that grandma’s drives to. You know – one of two place she ever goes in her 1983 Oldsmobile that now has 22,000 miles on it? Ya, that’s what this place is.
No, actually, I really mean it. Before my grandma moved from her nearby condo, this was her grocery store of choice. It took me years to figure out that when she said she had to go to the store, she meant «The Store.» But thanks to them I had years of fruit roll-​ups and that cheese with the cow on it. She drove here and also to the hospital where she volunteered for years and years. She put on less than 5,000 miles on her car per year, I’m pretty sure.
Throughout the years they’ve taken a more natural, high-​end, and variety approach to their inventory. Me likey. But if you’re used to the basics and their accompanying prices… well. you may be better served somewhere else. But if you’d rather go somewhere that takes a good, long look at the food it’s stocking, takes pride in the produce, and is like a Wonka factory (on a small scale) of grocery shopping then you’re going to want to go shopping at the store. Er. The Store.

The Store is adorable. It’s small, but surprisingly well-​stocked – full of fresh produce, gourmet meats and cheeses, and hard to find items like my favorite North Carolina BBQ sauce (Bone Suckin’ Sauce. .. surpassed in yumminess only by the same company’s habanero-​based Hiccupin’ Hot Bone Suckin’ hot sauce. .. Oh. My. God. Perfection in a bottle. But not [yet] available at The Store.).
Anyhoo. You walk into The Store and are channeled directly into the produce section. Although much (most?) of it is organic, the prices are surprisingly reasonable; there’s not a lot, but there’s more than you would think for such a small space and what’s there is top quality. On the way, by the way, you’ll pass some cheeses to your left; there isn’t a ton of variety, but – again – what’s there is great. Try the asiago cheese dip, but be forewarned that you won’t be able to stop eating it. It’s transcendent.
Leaving the produce section, you’re channeled next into an aisle with – among other items – gourmet pastas and sauces, housemade pizzas, etc. That aisle leads you directly to the meat section, which is chock full of top quality cuts. Seriously, you can’t go wrong, no matter whether you are buying the unadorned meats to flavor at home or the pre-​seasoned, grill-​ready meats that are in the next case over.
From there, the space opens up into a more traditional grocery store layout. The rest of The Store is similarly, and surprisingly, awesome. I’m always happy to find in every section numerous items I’ve never seen before but would really like to try. And, although I’m not a sweets person, the bakery could tempt even me; my partner JJ can’t get out of there without first driving me nuts by whinging like a five-​year-​old about how he «neeeeeds» a cookie/​brownie/​peanut butter bar/​cupcake and keeping it up until I give in. (Last visit: pink frosted sugar cookie. I’ll admit, it was delicious.)
Overall, The Store is a great little grocery store with ample quality to balance against its admittedly limited quantity. It’s way across town for me, but it’s worth the trek.

I love a grocery store that you can walk down every isle and there is some product that you want to try or some item that you can never find just sitting on the shelf in front of you. What I also especially enjoy about The Store is that as unique of a variety of food items they have, they also carry a small selection of name brands so there’s no need to make two separate market runs. It a well balanced store, which also doubles as a super adorable old style market. Seriously you should feel warm, fuzzy, nostalgia wash over you as soon as you enter the store and if you don’t you may suffer the affliction of your heart being two sizes two small. It’s a good thing I went shopping with a full stomach because I would have bought a heck of a lot more and ended up with an over following refrigerator. Price are fair for the selection of products they are providing.

I wish I could five 6 stars to The Store for making me cry.
Before you think I’m insane let me just mention that my mom (who I was incredibly close to– and who was only in her 50s) died in April and just about anything that reminds me of her makes
me burst into tears.
Walking into The Store did just that. This is my mom’s kind of place. Small, friendly, great produce selection and so very quaint. I kept thinking as I went down every aisle just how much she would have ADORED this store.
I was so impressed by the general store vibe mixed with the quality and good selection of products. I will definitely be shopping here again and again, and though my mom never got a chance to visit this store, I’ll use it as a time to remember her, too.

I grew up shopping with my mom, who is a bit of a health food nut, at The Store (sadly my family has moved to draper and the store is just too far).
This place is a combo of a farmer’s market and Trader Joe’s with a cute mom & pop feel. They Come off as a bit of a specialty food store but with all the normal items one would find in a regular grocery store.
They meats are glorious, although Snyder Bros is right next door.
They usually have seasonal local specials, based on whats available.
People there enjoy working there, which is nice because they are much more helpful and friendly.
I can’t think of anything negative to say about this place, I mean its great.
