Lunds & Byerlys

I love lunds as an option for a quick dinner! They have so many freshly prepared items, and my all time favorite is sushi Wednesday! 6.00 sushi and it is DELICIOUS! I was always very wary of grocery store sushi until I tried this! It was soo good!
This lunds is always very clean, and has a Starbucks inside. I enjoy going, grabbing lunch, and studying at their fantastic lunch area. So many tables, and so many options!

Cowabunga! If i lived closer to this place I know I would be spending double on groceries. There are just too many unique and cool ingredients that you don’t find at a normal store. Everything is displayed nicely. They have cute gifts for people on display as you are shopping like air plants and spa candles – fancy lotions and chocolates. A ready to go food area that I have been eating at lately and ya know it is a dang good value~. They have a fancy dancy pet area with food that you typically have to go to the pet store to purchase. Yes I do love me some Byerly’s.

Great store/​great company!
About prices and availability/​variety:
Yes, it can cost a bit more to shop here vs. Rainbow, Cub, Walmart, Target, etc. (as other reviews may have noted) however, the weekly sales allow me to save a TON when it comes to things I buy regularly or even things new to me that I’m willing to try out just because they’re reduced. As someone who lives in the city and is truly an urban dweller (in the sense that I don’t drive and rely on public transport) it’s completely worth the $ 9.95 to have what I want delivered, pretty much when I want. I spend a bit of time finding what I need through the website and while that can take some time, it’s relaxing to me, and definitely preferred over the complete circus that visiting grocery stores in person can be. Since I really dislike visiting grocery stores to begin with (which makes me want to shop less frequently, causing me to have a bigger order and harder time getting it all home without an Über or cab) the delivery fee is a STEAL since it’s certainly is less than it could cost to get me home from a store. Anyway, selection is pretty wide when it comes to brands, IMHO. They take manufacturer’s coupons, as well – the ones that come in the glossy pages of the Sunday paper, as well as the ones you find online and print out – not sure about competitor store coupons, check with them. They are super fast via email and very pleasant on the phone (more on that below). Anyway, you enter in the coupons with your order and give them to the driver in an envelope. Pretty simple. I haven’t done it yet, I used to do it with Coborn’s all the time.
About the food and products:
I love almost all the store brand products, mostly the meat and dairy/deli…all the things they prepare are fresh and taste good and some of them are even gourmet/​artisan stuff — totally worth he cost, IMHO. Their bakery is pretty good, although I don’t purchase a lot of baked goods, and although the produce is also excellent, I’ve had a few times where a shopper scanned in the wrong UPC/​SKU or the weight was different than my request — sometimes it was boiled down to the website catalog product being priced by unit vs weight and so I’d ask for 1 turkey breast at $X price each, and they’d sell it to me at $X per lb. whenever I’ve brought this up to them via email or phone, they’ve rectified it immediately and offered a credit on a future order or a refund.
Payment/​Delivery:
If you choose «pay upon delivery,» the driver runs your card through a portable swiper at the door. If you pay at checkout w/​PayPal, the estimated total is put on your PayPal acct as a temporary hold (Authorization). BOGO items or discounts sometimes aren’t calculated at checkout time, but the correct amount will be charged after your order is delivered.
When they bring your order, all the cold items like deli meat/​butcher and dairy dept stuff are in one bag, produce in another, boxed things like pasta or crackers plus cans in another, frozen in another, etc. — They also take care to package glass items like bottles and jars so they don’t get cracked… as well, they wrap and rubber-​band things like eggs, fruit/​veg that come in the clamshell plastic containers, etc. The shoppers really know what they’re doing.
About me as a customer:
I’m a 100% online customer, meaning I do not shop in this store, although I have visited the St. Paul Suburban Avenue store and downtown Minneapolis store each a few times in my life, but before I became a customer of the Woodbury location. I was an online customer through St. Paul location until their online service was picked up by Woodbury. Even before that, I was a happy customer.
About the staff:
Every single staff member I’ve been in contact with has been more than pleasant and very concerned about making sure I’m satisfied with all aspects of my purchase and consumer experience, from the website all the way to the delivery. There had been a few times when I had an item be missing or incorrect with my order, but it’s always been resolved to my satisfaction with the very fast and courteous online department staff, and the shoppers are even super helpful and pleasant, and will always call when something is out and to ask if I want to try a different size, flavor, etc. of the same thing or just knock that item off my order.
They are also great on the phone! Give them a call and ask them anything. I have yet to find someone be frustrated with me or even treated me slightly cavalierly, and certainly never rude. Even the delivery guys are also very polite and seem to enjoy their work. I’ve had a couple of them come to my door during downpours this summer, and they didn’t flinch.
Thanks for reading this. I may update again down the road if I have something to add, or if I change my mind, but I’ve been getting delivery with these guys for years and just never thought to come here and post my thoughts.
Hope this review helps someone else who is considering shopping here

I’m a current employee and I haven’t worked for such an awesome company before. Our president is always so personable/​friendly, our district manager acknowledges us individually and is even getting me in training classes for management, and my general manager and department managers are fun and encouraging.
Our signature, top quality deli, bakery, sushi, produce, seafood & meat are amazing and not to mention our knowledgeable customer service we provide should give you more reasons to keep coming back! :)
I love shopping at retail stores where I know the employees are being treated well and know they enjoy their jobs, and I’m sure there are others out there that believe the same

I’m going to preface my review with stating the fact I had zero loyalty to Rainbow and didn’t much mind that they went away. Anyway, I am very excited to have a Byerly’s in the town I work in.
I’m so excited that it’s officially done with construction and all the bells and whistles that I am accustomed to with the other Byerlys (namely the sushi counter) are open and fully functioning.
Speaking about the sushi counter, since I just am about addicted to Sushi Wednesday (uhhh $ 6 select Sushi, folks!) they also do some strange Sushi Burrito thing unique to Woodbury and only one other Byerlys in Edina. It’s reminscent of a Chipotle Burrito as far as size, but the flavor, of course, has a distinctly sushi taste.
Produce here is unrivaled and worth the extra couple bucks.
Let’s just all get over the fact Rainbow is a thing of the past and embrace the gift known as Byerlys that has been given to Woodbury!

Well, I haven’t been inside before when it was Rainbow. However, I have been to Rainbows and not exactly my first pick for supermarket. I do love the layout of this supermarket and everything being nice, clean and neat. Overall, I like this grocery and it’s nearby my place. We stop here sometimes to get milk as well. Plus, there is a DVD rental kiosk inside which is nice too.

Thisi business I think will get renovated soon since it used to be a Rainbow Foods

There’s a scene in World War Z where Brad Pitt drives his family to a random grocery store to stock up on food and medical supplies. (It’s before the part where they meet a Latino family that helps them for a minute that later decides not to follow Brad and co. out of the zombie-​infested city.) If I lived in Woodbury and the Zombie Apocalypse happened, I would definitely swing by this lovely grocery store to prepare for the end. However, instead of a gun, I’d probably carry my dad’s battle staff (used to cut the legs of horses) or his katana. Maybe both? Ooh, and some nunchucks. Just one, though.
In the land Hoodbury, aka the suburb where almost every damn 3M employee lives, every major chain is on steroids. And this Byerly’s is no exception (although, most Byerly’s are in the burbs)… And in this case, bigger is better:
+A million of everything.
+Spacious (since it took over a Cub Foods, I think.)
+Friendly staff.
+Sales everywhere.
+Reasonable prices that aren’t much different from their competitors.
+Tons of parking.
I also learned that they’ll soon be housing a US Bank. That means, I can stock up on food, medical supplies, and withdraw some cash before hitting I-​94 on out of the TC.
