QFC Quality Food Center

Favorite grocery store. Everyone is super nice and helpful. speedy check out and if you take the time to look, you can find great deals.

I will never go to this store again. The cashier was pushy and kept saying «slide your card» even though he was STILL checking out my items. I like to slide my credit card AFTER the groceries are put into my cart. He was RUDE, PUSHY, and I will never step foot into this store because of him.

This is my favorite store!!! Yes, the prices may be a bit higher then Walmart BUT you get what you pay for! Their meat dept offers amazing quality meat, along with awesome meat cutters that give you tips of preparations– Produce department always has fresh fruits & veggies that last longer then when I have purchased at other stores. They also support locally grown, which Walmart does not. I also enjoy that it’s not a huge grocery store… When your needing to run in and grab just a few things the last thing you wanna do is deal with a huge box store. Everyone that works here is extremely friendly, and unlike Safeway, they are friendly because they want to be, not because they may get dinged by a secret shopper. I HIGHLY recommend this store to those who enjoy Quality food.

Friendly checkers, they will open new lines if it gets busy. They bring in top pot doughnuts. Nice selection of items, especially for a smaller store size. The meat section is especially good; if you keep an eye out you can get a nice cut for very reasonable. Closet store to the Southworth-​Faunterloy ferry and cheaper than the one on the Faunterloy end.

A great store with friendly and awesome associates. Store is clean and anything that involves Kroger is good. Although I wish they were more reasonable like Fred Meyer. However I wish they were a bigger store that had an in store bakery, deli, pharmacy as well as Tully’s. Great Experience overall. Kudos!!!

Why I rarely shop here at QFC in Port Orchard (my reasons):
1. Some of the checkers are very slow. One of them is a woman who has been working there forever. She never smiles and drags along, her lines are always the slowest lines in the store. So choose your line carefully or be prepared for a «slow boat to china» sort of line.
2. Before QFC bought this store, the store had the best bakery in town. QFC tore out the bakery and ships in baked goods from a central location. Flies can often be seen in the donut case, especially during the summer months.
3. Prices tend to be higher unless you have their QFC card. One day they had salmon at 12.99 a pound unless you had the QFC card and then it was 6.99 a pound (the going rate at the time at the other stores in the area. And even though QFC is affiliated with Fred Meyer, I have noted on several occasions where items are priced higher at QFC than at Freddies. QFC Port Orchard prices are set by the folks in Seattle so they are out of whack for Podunk prices.
4. Parking lot has issues. Difficult to navigate thru the lot without hitting the curbed islands.
5. Oh yeah… the QFC store at South Park Village also has birds up in the rafters by their doorway that poop all over their entrance sidewalk. So folks walk into store and get poo on their shoes and bring it into the store. Just visualize the kiddies in the shopping carts after having the soles of their shoes soiled by birdy ca-​ca.

I am surprised how few people every come to this supermarket. I go here mainly because, it’s close to my house. I also like it because, there are great manager specials on many items. Like many supermarkets, you have to use a card to get the non-​manager special sale prices, but the cards are free and if you don’t have it with you they will either look you up by phone number or give you a new card. From time to time they have great sales on candy bars. Often lower then anywhere else, even lower than Walmart. The people have the time to help you find what you are looking for in the store.
