NEW LOCATION REVIEW 4/20/24
A few days ago, I decided to check out the new Grocery Outlet store, which, although familiar to our area, is in a new location. First, for those who don't know what a Grocery Outlet is, it is a discounted retailer that offers many of the same items you would typically find at a regular grocery store. Whether overstock products or closed-out products, those items usually find their way to a Grocery Outlet store. You'll often find name-brand items and brands unfamiliar to West Coast people. Like a regular grocery store, it offers meats, cheese, a produce area, candy, chips, wine, and probably beer, as it did before the move. You'll also find a natural food area, laundry detergent, pet food, household items, beauty items, over-the-counter medications and seasonal items.
Of course, the brand-new store is fresh, uncluttered, clean, and without odd smells.
I did not take much time to scrutinize the store, but it is a smaller size but set up more like a regular grocery store instead of a warehouse/grocery store.
You can find Grocery Outlet at the "Bremerton Station" at 4320 Wheaton Way, Bremerton, WA. 98310
They are located between Floor and Decor and Planet Fitness. Other surrounding businesses within walking distance are Wilco, Sharis, Wendy's, and Chipotle. You'll find Fred Meyers and the Dollar Tree about a block over.
This area is considered a retail center; there are a lot of flat, non-hill parking spaces.
Once again, Please be kind to ALL living...
Read moreI’m very dissatisfied in how the new owners are handling this store you go in an buy an item for $2.99 then you come back and it’s $3.99 but go to the other grocery outlets and there’s is still $2.99! They always have higher prices and if you find something super cheap it’s because most of the time the items are expired I know there is a grace period for some items but months past an expiration date is unacceptable!!! They also never have some of their price signage right and that’s if their is a price at all and when you purchase something you think is $2.49 you get to the register and it’s $4.99 and they do not honor their mistakes I’ve mentioned this numerous times because it happens alllll the time and they do not care they dismiss me and do nothing to fix it!!!!! I feel this is soooo wrong it mostly affects the low income and elderly people who may not pay attention to expiration dates or can’t catch the items on the screen at the register to see what they thought was a higher price than what they thought!!! In my option these owners are just trying to fill their pockets shame on them!!!! Go to the other grocery outlets in silverdale and port orchard start paying...
Read moreThere really is so much wonderful to say about this store. Sure there are a lot of brands I've never heard of... But there are also some of the most pricey niche products I've ever loved, and paid over twice as much for in high end grocery stores.
You have to be willing to snag what you want when you see it, it will likely not be there again. But most importantly it helps redistribute food to lower food waste i this country. That's worth five stars any day!
Is it fancy store wth sexy displays...? Nope. But is it a place to find incredible bargains on posh eats...? More often than you would think. This is where treasure hunting takes on new meaning. I dare any disbelievers to check out their Nosh sections. Food snobs rejoice!
There is only one negative, I wish all discount groceries would pay living wages. I know this one doesn't, which doesn't make them any worse than anyone else... But it could be better. There really is just no real margin in this business sector. The employees seem happy there though, so...
