Fred Meyer

Spent 40 minutes just for 20 dollars worth of gas! Wasted an entire lunch hour just for gas! Wow! Pump ran penny by penny, not to mention staff was super slow and really didn’t care about good customer service. Never again will we get gas there! I will stick to gassing up at Santa Clara, Fred Meyer or anywhere but W. 11^th! Just Terrible! :(

When ever I shop here I get what I pay for! Only one instance was I unsatisfied and this was due to device incompatability. My needs are always meet and my expectations surpassed, in regards to quality, and customer service!

I never would have guessed this store could be so good. It is more than a step above its competitors. Great quality and prices all around. The big find has been their supermarket. Terrific selection and fantastic produce. The Fred Meyers specials are the best.

June 29 and earlier on March 23 I was referred to in disparaging comments by staff at the checkout line in terms of my race TO MY FACE. The first time the checker made his comment about me – «How about those people?” – in a sneering tone to another checker while I was standing right in front of both of them; the second time the checker stared right at me and announced I couldn’t use my EBT card unless I showed identification BECAUSE I LOOKED UNDER THE AGE OF 27 (I’m actually old enough to be this girl’s grandmother). Either remark would have NOT been been made HAD I BEEN WHITE. Neither remark was precipitated by any sort of argument or disagreement; they just came out of the blue in the usual course of checking out. I have NEVER been treated like this anywhere else, at any time in my life. So – what’s up with these people? And where can I go with this complaint?

Freddy’s is our go-​to store because of its location, and we love the expanded «Natural Food» section. The produce is fine (tho the produce section is too small, and crowded with carts), and the store has almost all the items we need. We like the checkers, and have favorites who are extra friendly. Plus, the Starbucks, pharmacy and bathrooms are handy. I like the one-​stop shopping — clothes, kids’ stuff, house/​car/​landscape items, etc. Parking isn’t a problem if you know where to go — but you do have to watch the other cars carefully. My two complaints: the Customer Service desk, while the clerks are very pleasant, it’s often inadequately staffed; and items I like in the Natural Food area are often not in stock. In fact, stocking seems to be a big issue, causing tie-​ups in the aisles. But otherwise we love Freddy’s.

Okay, Fred Meyer ! Time to toot my horn ! I’ve been shopping here for over twenty five years, so I know what I’m talking about. Convenience makes me return, despite concerns. Staff is very nice. Return policy is great. But here goes:
* I agree with others, the parking lot is not good. It is difficult to park near to the entrances and congested. I have had pan handlers approach me.
* The service desk is a disaster. While staff is nice, there aren’t enough of them. Two days ago, on a Monday morning, the store wasn’t very crowded. I was second in line and there were seven others, waiting behind me, while one, then two staff people tried to help someone buy a number of gift cards or money orders. I must have waited more than twenty minutes. Twice, I asked if they could bring another person in to help us, but was ignored. I left, feeling furious .
* There is a long history of fresh fruits and vegetables not being all that fresh. Its spotty. I have complained twice, over the years, but there has been no change of which I am aware. E.G., I bought a bag of mandarin oranges. Upon getting them home, it was readily apparent that they were already on the way to spoiling. And they weren’t cheap.
* They used to carry a lovely line of costume jewelry, which is no longer the case. Perhaps they don’t care that they are losing money, at least mine, which I would have spent on it.
* Oh, and I agree about the previous comment regarding the bum who tries to give away free newspapers to everyone who leaves the store by that entrance. Its very annoying and offensive. But then, I also hate having to navigate past bell ringers at Christmas time, for weeks on end.
Having taken a look at these concerns, I may rethink whether I am willing to patronize this store in the future, convenience or not.

This location is convenient for us, and we come here once a week at least. It’s quite busy at peak hours, so come in the evening if you want to avoid crowds. Find another place to return bottles and cans; the machines here are outside, smell terrible, break regularly, and have homeless people hanging around constantly. The parking lot is sometimes tough to navigate, and it has a health clinic and gas station wedged onto the same parcel, which adds to the congestion.
Once you’re inside the experience is much better. You can do an entire week’s worth of shopping in one spot, and the selection is very good for staple items. The house brands (Kroger) are mostly as good as national brands, and usually cheaper. There’s a small food court and Starbucks counter. If you sign away your privacy and get a rewards card, you can get rebates and gas discounts. Service can be spotty, but in Eugene you have to expect that.
Clothes and homewares are Target-​level quality. I used to go to Target pretty regularly before I moved here, but I don’t feel the need much anymore thanks to this place.

I like this store. A lot. We dont have FM in CA so whenever I am in town I look forward to stocking up here for my short stays in Eugene. There prices are good, or at least seem reasonable compared to what I pay at home. My favorite is their deli counter. What a great selection of meats, cheese, and fresh salads. The gorgonzola chicken pasta is amazing! And the selection of micro brewery beers is awesome! This store is like a Safeway and Target combined. Clearly too much time can be spent here from furniture to bakery goods. It’s all here in a one stop shop. Do they have motor oil??? I noticed poor reviews but I have never had a bad experience here. I am a wanderer and very self sufficient and I would rather search and find things on my own so I guess customer service has not been an issue for me. That being said, great place to shop! The cashiers are always friendly, too.

Is it bad that you bet better service at Walmart? The young men I always encounter are quick to make fun of a customer as soon as they turn their back. I have encountered this twice already and the manager has done nothing. I even seen these kids make fun of an old woman as soon as she left. So service is horrible, god forbid you actually have to return something, even if you are the only one in line it can take a while for any employee to get to you. I like the clothes here but other than that my grocery shopping is now at Walmart, were at least they wait for you to leave before remarks about ur appearance or anything about you. Fred Meyers has gone down hill, anyone else miss safeway?

I’d give it a 2 ½ star review.
Like a lady in an earlier review she stated that she hated the guy seeling the register guard. I go in there A LOT sometimes every other day and the guy looks at me and says «free paper!» EVERY… OTHER…DAMN…DAY!
Well I HATE thier parking lot! I was there the other day and well I almost got into a three car wreak! I was turning into the little island parking and a lady was stopped to let people go around her. So I started to go around her (SLOWLY!) and for some damn reason the woman threw her can in reverse AND BACKED UP! well thats all fine and dandy but hell I had to throw MY car into reverse and back up REALLY fast and almost hit the person inback of me trying to get to a spot. And the lady KEPT BACKING UP, all the while the lady pulling outa the spot was watching this shaking her head and waiving franticly while the lady almost hit me two more times. But the whole icing on the cake? When I could go NOWHERE, the lady (in the car infront of me!!) put her hand up to say STOP! LIKE I COULD GO ANYWHERE! Well after all that crap I ended up going down the street to Wal Mart, found a spot FINE, got what I needed while NOT getting hit by a crazy driver.
The reason I come here so much? To bug my sister whose is a cashier! :D

I shop semi-​regularly at the West 11^th Fred Meyer and have found it to be generally «okay.» I suppose I’m responding to a couple of recent reviews, mentioning problems I’ve never seen.
Advice: Come here anytime between 8pm and 11pm. I’m lucky, I guess, that this is when shopping there fits my schedule. I’m sensitive to bad parking lots, drunken ‘customers’ and annoying solicitors and I’ve never had a problem with any of those during the night time.
Bottom line: Not the best, fake ‘local’ (owned by Kroger) but still, better than Target or Evil-​StartswithW-​Store-​That-​Shall-​Not-​Be-​Named.

This store is the worst Freddies I’ve experienced for multiple reasons.
As another review mentioned they are constantly «stocking» things, aka things are always in the middle of the aisle but the shelves are rarely actually stocked. At first I thought it was because I was going in during the morning hours; until I went in a few evenings and they’re still «stocking» the shelves. Wow.
The «Free Paper» Register Guard peddler out front is the absolute worst though. The dude is creepy and I hate that they allow someone to harass customers on a regular basis. This isn’t like a promotional booth that pops up only once a week every six months, it’s constantly there and the dude just sort of grunts «Free paper?» at folks as they pass by in hopes they’ll grab one and listen to the «Do you want a subscription?» speech.
Obnoxious. I’ve never witnessed either of these problems at other stores around town.
The parking lot is a disaster, I have a panic attack about 50% of the time because people don’t know how to navigate it.
I do appreciate that they’ve opened both lanes of Self Check though, that’s the only reason I have added an extra star.

I love Fred Meyers in general, I usually shop at the one on Division, my Wife and I even have the Fred Meyers Rewards Visa. However I have to say I absolutely can not stand this location on 11^th. It’s always being re-​stocked in such a fashion that it is hard to move around the stock-people’s mess and carts, yet they seem to always be out of what I want. It’s cramped, unbelievably crowded, and inadequately air-​conditioned in the summer. This makes for a blood pressure raising shopping experience.
In addition, the last three times I have had the misfortune of shopping here, my line at the register has been delayed by 3 different completely drunk (mid-​morning!) psudo-​customers bothering the clerk with one problem or another. All three times the individual was barely incoherent, seemed to have a recycling voucher issue (again, not buying groceries) and reeked so bad I almost threw up right there in line. They really should have someone escorting these people off the premises.
And last but not least, a terrible parking lot. I wont be back to this location even in an emergency.

Excellent beer selection. A very inelegant place to shop…

Good selection. Fair prices

This place has it all & is open late. Great produce dept with lots of organic veggies. They also have a terrific meat dept with good prices. The beer is always super cold with a huge selection. Best place to buy big bags of ice for cheap.

A big city grocery store with flair in the middle of a country town. Nice bakery, fresh produce, bought some rib-​eye steaks which we’ll try tonight. Additionally, my Fry’s Club card works here too. One stop shop for cards, postal supplies, creamer, bread, pillows, and more.

I shop organic and the river road area doesnt have much selection for organic groceries. Luckily Fred Meyer’s has a really nice sized organic section in their store. You can get healthy meats, produce, frozen foods, dairy products, eggs, tempeh, coffee, bread, bulk foods, soaps, personal hygiene products, natural home products, and so much more. Glad to see such a selection in Freddy’s now they just need to banish the plastic bags like PC did!

I really like the fact that Fred Meyer has a organic section and Supplements. I get my tom’s of Maine toothpaste there as well as all the groceries I need. They also have a nice little wine section.
