Fred Meyer

Alright, I’m one to be very understanding of humanity’s tendency for error. I am the first to be guilty of it. However, the situation we were put in was, for lack of better words, ridiculous.
We placed a catered order for 4 platters (simple ones like cubed cheese, veggies, antipasto, etc.) Super easy stuff to throw together the night before. We agreed to pick it up at 8am Saturday morning. Mind you, we placed the order well in advance.
We arrive to pick up our order at 7:50 thinking it would’ve been prepared & ready the night before. We go up & tell them we are here to pick up 3 platters & a pan of wings. They told us they weren’t QUITE ready just yet. It’s ok, we were thinking maybe another 10 min no big deal. Uh 30 MINUTES LATER – bless my aunty, she knows how to get to the bottom of things– my aunt came & come to find out they had JUST started on our order! We had our grandfather/father’s funeral at 9am and it was 8:30 and still waiting.
First off, I feel like they straight up lied to us when we came. «Aren’t quite ready yet» & «we haven’t even started on your order» are TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Instead of telling us there had been a mix up with the time & making us wait around & being late to the funeral we could have absolutely worked out an alternative. Horrible job at covering your booties.
OH & they forgot to make one of the platters! OH AND they took the order on a piece of parchment paper not a real order form scribbled out in sharpie. That should have been a red flag. «We need to get order forms.» Umm… YEAH YA DO. Very frustrating situation to be in when you’ve got a sensitive event to go to.
However, I will commend them for trying to put out the fire. No employee wants to be part of someone catering nightmare. It wasn’t done intentionally or out of ill will. They apologized & seemed very sympathetic. They did discount us. They did do all they could do to not escalate the situation.
But, I do not recommend Fred Meyer for your catering events. I’m sorry. I would never want to go through that ever again and I wouldn’t want anyone to experience that either. They don’t even have legit order forms – they don’t seem properly equipped. Hire a legit caterer. Save yourself stress.

This used to be our favorite Freddie’s. It is near our neighborhood and we love the layout inside the store. The produce is near the front entrance making it very convenient.
Like most Fred Meyers it’ll they also sell clothes, groceries and just about anything else you could want. The Starbucks located right inside the store is a nice touch as well.
There is also a pharmacy and more recently a gas station placed right in the parking lot. The store is clean and the staff friendly enough. They are currently doing a remodel inside the store so the aisles are a bit confusing for the moment.
The parking situation got very bad when they put in the gas station. This caused them to use up a good chunk of the parking spaces.
Every time we come here the parking lots are generally very full and we have to park all the in the back past the gas station. The amount of traffic in the parking lot is also dangerously heavy with cars looking for parking and people going in and out of the gas station.
We try to avoid this Freddie’s due to the lack of parking and also heavy traffic in the parking lot.

Today I went shopping at the Fred Meyers in Troutdale. It was so torn up and so disorganized and no isles were marked. I couldn’t find even ONE item on my list, so I left. I won’t be returning. It used to be such a great place to do my shopping. Sad!

Pharmacy had prescription filled and ready. This was great for after having such a poor experience with a nearby 24 hour pharmacy. Thanks for the kind and courteous service

I have been to several other Fred Meyer stores and I have never been so disappointed as I was when I went into this one today. Their wine selection compared to the one in Gresham is basically non-​exhistant, they don’t have party invitations and a book that was just released the day before they didn’t even have stocked! When I asked for help I was met with snooty attitudes and in general felt like the store was very unorganized compared to many others had I have visited.

Great prices and fresh produce. The grapes were so good!

Service was amazing over the holidays. They had all check stands open and each was a short line. Management really did well. A side from a few grumpy overwhelmed workers most were pretty friendly through the chaos.
My only issue with the store is the pharmacy. The autofill program is either late alert or no alert at all. I call in refills now but even those get send to other stores accidentally. But oh well gotta have my meds anyway.

I typically love These stores. I’ve never had an issue but today must be a full moon or something. I got a pair of boots for Christmas and called to see if I they he a certain size I wanted to try. Both the woodvillage and gresham store were incredibly put out by my request for them to look for the boots. The woodvillage store just automatically told me they didn’t carry the specific brand. The Gresham store tried tot ell me Fred Meyer doesn’t carry what I’m looking for. Interesting because that’s where my cousin bought them and the tag on the box says Fred Meyer. I asked if she could look through a computer system to find them. She informed me she would have to go to the stock room to do that. I told her I would wait. Finally after getting on the computer she found that Freddie’s does indeed carry the and, shocking, and that the division store had plenty. I called the Division store and the girl was incredibly sweet and helpful. I hate to have to search around for helpful sales associates but at least Division seems to have one on staff today.

this is totally my fred meyer of choice. i go there several times a week and always have great interactions with staff. i never have to wait behind more than one person in line.

I hate big-​box stores as a rule, but Fred Meyer is definitely one of the better ones I’ve been to. It reminded me of a nicer version of Wal-​Mart spliced with Target. I don’t think it’s anything to write home about, but I have no complaints either.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
I so wish there was a Fred Meyer in Hawaii! :(Supahhhh lame. Haha.
It’s so cheap here (which is something I’m NOT used to since Hawai‘i’s prices are wayyy expensive.) But I loved it because everything I bought was 20% off of the original price. I bought a bunch of stuff and it only came out to $ 10.50. I was expecting to pay AT LEAST $ 20.
They have so much to choose from too! It’s GREAT.
I want them to come to Hawai‘i. .. But I know if they do, it wouldn’t be that cheap. Hahaha. LAMEEEEEEEEE.
Anyway, I LOVE FRED MEYER.

WE… Love, love, love, love this place! Nothing like a Fred Meyer!
The Manager of Home Goods was a very nice man; Cesar was very helpful and found us what we needed!
Kudos to you!

This is my favorite Fred’s. It’s far enough away from the Max tracks that I don’t have to fight the riff-​raff to shop there; consequently this store does not have to post staff at the doors to discourage shoplifting. I prefer not to be raked by the evil eye of Sauron when I walk in or out. Parking is more convenient than most, and most of the staff seems moderately happy, rather than the grumps seen at other stores.
Yes, it’s big, so allow time to shop there, but it is what it is; one-​stop shopping, slightly over-​priced, but a nice respite from the stress-​inducing Winco or even more over-​priced Albertsons and Safeway.

Sometimes I just come here and wander up and down every aisle. It has the most splendid sad meat section of any Freddy’s. I totally love the old queen that works the customer service counter. He put a bunch of stars on the collar of his Fred Meyer polo shirt, like he’s some sort of Field Marshal or Ubergruppenfurher or Starfleet officer or something. I love how I become disoriented in the produce section, because nothing about the layout makes a bit of sense. I love how they made the damn Salvation Army bell ringer stand outside, instead of in the lobby, driving everyone crazy with that ridiculous ting-​a-​ling crap.
The only Fred Meyer I like even close to as much is the one on Burnside by the stadium, and that’s only because I feel like I’m entering and leaving the Batcave when I park in the underground garage.
I wish the Fred Meyer Bear would come back though.

I think there is such thing as toooooo big.
Sometimes I just wanna get in and get out. But when the two departments that you need to go to are at complete opposite ends — AND floors — of the store it can be such a pain.
They do have great prices and I can get anti-​freeze and bath salts in — yup, you guessed it — one stop.
Nothing else really stood out about this store, except that its in a new gigantic strip mall. Gresham loves strip malls. Can’t tell you why. Maybe because it sounds like stripper?
