Bridle Trails Shopping Center — Local services in Kirkland

This is a great local shopping plaza. It has a lot of variety and provides a lot of convenient options for those who live close by.

The family neighborhood feeling is gone and the long term staff has lost all enthusiasm for the store, the people, or their jobs. This store no longer is a neighborhood store. It is a failed...

PRICE GOUGING in Bridle Trails STRIP MALL. Owner/Operator of Grocery Outlet would not honor DEALS advertised for BRANDS in May 6-12 ad advising they do not participate in National Offers, although ad clearly shows DEALS for location. How CONVENIENT falsely advertising BRANDS 'The Great Fish Co. Salmon' $3.99, when actually COST $6.99. BOGO for 'Youngs' is not a BOGO in store. Couple more items in my cart did not ring as advertised. If you do no participate in National Offers, perhaps lose the Grocery Outlet BRAND? Advised the Owner/Operator I will never shop here again, as I emptied my BAG. His response? "Goodbye, have a nice day!" PRICE...
