Grocery Outlet — Local services in Gilroy

I like the GOBM chain. That should be apparent from my reviews. Due to the Individually Owned and Operated business model, there are inherent differences between the stores, and I like to check out new ones when I see one as I travel from place to place. This store in Gilroy is positioned differently from most of the others I have visited, being a stand alone building at the front of the shopping center rather than being in the strip mall proper. It took some thought to locate the entrance and a few attempts to find a working shopping cart. There was sufficient parking available. The staff was busy and focused on the task at hand. One thing that stood out was the courtesy of other customers, who would excuse themselves as they passed in front of me. Not all, but significantly more than at the more coastal locations that I have visited (Bay area and Watsonville). Usually I am the only one. I didn't notice any out of date items offered for sale; a number of products were short dated, but that's normal for this retail model. One thing that they do have is distilled water. I don't recall seeing that at any of the other stores that I have visited. I was in and out fairly quickly with essentially what I needed, so...

When I move to Gilroy in 2018 stayed for two years. The store then wasn’t all up to part since I came in yesterday for the first time in the past three years I’ve met the new owner. The store is beautiful. It has came alone long ways. I love the energy when I was there and Rosa the cashier and the customers where even friendly I’m telling you when a woman puts a touch on something she spreads a whole lot of love and that’s exactly the energy the vibe I got yesterday and I’m going down there today to buy the remaining of this favorite wine that I have tried in San Jose from grocery outlet and they don’t have anymore so I’m driving from Santa Clara to Gilroy to give this woman my business. I thank you for your service I thank you for your conversation. I thank you for listening and my son. He told me to tell you thank you for the candy. Thank you Miss Yvette aunt Yvette love you and I also like when you introduce me to your friend of Facebook she was just as sweet as you and you give donations. You’re awesome you’re an angel you’re Mrs. Claus you are Christmas....

it's always treasure hunt. On the good hand, often you can find literally amazing prices on high quality products. You my find mind boggling, never to be seen again deals on foods you love. But, on the other hand, that deal will be soon gone, and you might not see the product again. You never know what you will find in the store. So, you may be thrilled, or disappointed. Also, on the bad hand, there are a great many products that are simply garbage. Nasty junk that wouldn't be a bargain at any price. Like I daid, it's a treasure hunt. But there is treasure to be found! ...note: don't expect high quality customer service. This place is a non-union shop. And it shows! The staff is of the "off the street" variety. No apparent training--or at least none in the art of service. The staff are underpaid button pushers, who care not a whit about making you visit to the store a pleasant one. Go for the deals, yes. But, you will have to be tolerant of the...
