Grocery Outlet — Local services in Yelm

This was the first time my daughter and myself went to the Grocery Outlet in Yelm, and was so happy we didn't have to go to the one in Puyallup! We got tired of shopping for our groceries at Walmart. So many new things we bought! So much money we saved by shopping here! The nice thing every week they have different things, and the selection is wonderful! We live in Eatonville so it's not that far! We refrained from buying any meat, because we believe in supporting our grocery store in Eatonville, and we have a wonderful Meat Market right across the Post Office in Eatonville, so we won't go anywhere else. We filled three of the insulated Smith Brothers shopping bags jammed pack full of wonderful groceries today from the Grocery Store in Yelm! We will be going back every month from now on! We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the store, the cashier we had was very curious, no long waiting lines, plenty of parking spots, every aisle was well stocked, and...

I'm so happy to have Grocery Outlet in Yelm. I have shopped there more often than I expected due to all the money I save on my limited income. Also to know its Locally owed not some big corporation owned. When all my shopping is done I get a recipe and it shows me how much I save in total compared to what I would have paid at others Grocery Stores . You too will be impressed with your variety of choices. Next time you shop it also sells cosmetics, health care related foods and protein powders and bars . You too will see how much you can save the more Yelm residents support Grocery Outlet I believe the better choices we can ask for more Organic products in the mean time give them a chance and see how much you can save. The service and help at Grocery Outlet is also amazing. Happy Shopping everyone . Covid distancing and masks...

The store just opened on the 17th of September 2020. While the staff is really great my first encounter with one of the owners Stephanie was less than friendly and makes you wonder what the philosophy of the store will be long-term.

If the response I got from her for asking "what is the address and phone number of your business?" is a sign of the management philosophy of the ownership, then watch out if you have an issue with item sold there.

The store is clean and well lit though being open less than a couple hours, there is no way to judge long term what will be the standard.

It's also worth noting that each of these stores are independently owned and operated, so one bad apple does not equal the chain being poor in service. Plus there are other locations in the area within driving distance...
