My SO and I have never been to a Winco. We decided to stop in on a week night. What is this, bargain paradise? Yes, it is. Cheaper than Costco and Walmart? Yes, indeed. As we're walking up and down the aisles, comparing prices out loud, the significant difference, the variety of products, it wasn't until self checkout did we find out it was cash or debit payments only. It's totally understandable.
The brands of ice cream are much more affordable than other grocery franchises, amongst other daily dairy items. This place has become a favorite to shop, not just because of the selection and prices. The friendly staff and customer service is outstanding. Very well maintained super store with clean bathrooms. The bulk food section is fantastic. So this is where my aunt buys her bags of sugar!
We must have spent over an hour just walking down every wide pathway of aisles through the massive square footage. Truly is a sensory friendly shopping experience for those introverts out there. WinCo is indeed a Winning Company with their unbeatable deals. Keep an eye out for those green...
Read moreThe only thing good about WinCo is the prices compared to the Safeway in molalla. The service is terrible. If you go in past 10 pm. It's almost impossible to shop due to the people stocking the shelves. The aisles are packed with freight. They won't move so you can go down the aisle to get what you need. They only have one checker past about 10 pm. So the line to pay goes half way down the aisle of the only checkstand. The wait can be sometimes a half hour to go through the checkout line. The checkers act like your bothering them when you come through there checkstand. If there isn't a line then the checker is nowhere to be found, and you have to ring a bell to have them come and help you. Waiting for someone to show can sometimes take 10 minutes. Then when they do come, they sigh as if we're putting them out by needing to pay. WinCo foods definitely needs...
Read moreWinCo is open 24 hours, and they have ample parking room. They closed the main entrance at 10pm, but you can enter and exit through the exit doors right next to the entrance doors after 10 p.m.
The self-checkout closes around 11 p.m. give or take, and is 15 items or less. Nice selection of food here. Doesn't quite have the selection some of the bigger WinCo locations have but it's a clean well-kept location. We've been here plenty of times.
As a reminder, since WinCo is 24 hours they stock the shelves and move pallets around when they are open. So just to be aware of where the pallet jacks and forklifts are so you stay out of their way. Employees usually see you but it's always good to keep your head on a swivel on their moving stuff around. This is one of the few 24-hour grocery stores left in the Metro area, and that alone makes...
