Fred Meyer

Bad. Self checking lady was looking the other way, guess it’s a hard job. Jewelry store very cold lady that «helped» me. Replaced battery on watch warning that she couldn’t guarantee the waterproof seal. Yup, and apparently not the installation of the battery– works intermittently.
One register out of 6 operating. Huge line. I did ask the checker to summon more help, which she did. Manager came over and started checking. But he saw the long line and did nothing until asked. He did a good job at customer service counter a couple of days before.

I have never reviewed a grocery store before, I never really thought it was necessary. I like Fred Meyer in general, but I just had to say something about the staff at this particular store. I used to shop at the Burlingame Fred Meyer where everyone was super friendly. After moving I started shopping here, and the customer service is HORRIBLE. No friendly smiles, the checkers throw bagged groceries into the cart, never mind the bread and eggs that are below the bag of canned goods. Customer service can make or break it for me, and I will be driving an extra 2 miles to go back to Burlingame.

They have the kind of toilet paper where when you rip it off it comes off, not in sheets, but in tiny as hell chunks because you can literally see though it.

This is a pretty typical Fred Meyer, right off Hwy 99 in Tigard. You can get groceries, prepared food, deli meat, sushi, etc. You can also get paint and hardware, clothing, children’s toys, automotive items, things for the garden, etc. Fred’s has everything under one roof so you can do most of your shopping in one place, and for all that inventory they carry, the prices are still reasonable. You’ll get some odd looks in the checkout line buying underwear, spark plugs and beer, but it saves on drive time.
They’ve done a nice job in this store improving the fresh bars, which are stocked with a good selection of salads, olives and pickles, salsas, as well as a pretty good cheese case.
No real issues with the store, which is clean inside and well stocked. The parking lot is busy and can be challenging with cars entering from several directions, pedestrians crossing etc.

I absolutely can not tolerate the staff at this FM. Every other Fred Meyer that I’ve been to in the greater Portland area is miles above this particular location. The staff is unfriendly, suspicious, useless and snobby. I like Fred Meyer and shopping there for the gas points and fresh produce and Chase bank. This one FM is on my way to work so I stop by often. The staff there is always, as in every time I go in, all of the things I listed above. I thought maybe over time they just needed to see my face frequent enough to actually be friendly. Nope. They are awful. I miss the Beaverton FM. They actually understood good customer service. Tigard Fred Meyer employees during the 7am to 9am hours need a lesson. Even SE 82^nd FM has you beat. Just a tip from me to you Tigard FM employees, not everyone who browses your store is there to steal. I always purchase food and like to look around while I’m there. But you make it annoying and unbearable. Once you realize that you aren’t better than everyone, especially paying customers, you may be able to enjoy your jobs.

Fred Meyer is a wonderful brand of supermarkets. This one is no different. They have food organized into different spaces at eye level. Lots of clothing and non-​food items are present. This is not like Hawthorne’s Fred Meyer, but it will do. A Coca-​Cola Freestyle Machine and a milkshake mixer are available here. Parking should be suitable for all occasions with the possible exception of Black Friday.
As usual, I just went for a snack. I got my pork rinds, paid the machine and quickly left. The aroma was good, with sushi in easy sight. This neighborhood is a little sketchier than Hillsdale, but I took the wrong bus from my college.
Here it just works like a charm as it should.

Great Fred Meyer always have things in stock that I need and customer service is good as well. Clean, inside and out. Thanks!

I came here just to get get a propane tank, so my experience was brief, but I was met with some great customer service… friendly, helpful, and considerate.
Their garden section was pretty cleared out, but that may be due to the changing season. Overall good experience.

So disappointed at the costumer sevice. I watched woman and her two kids wait in line in front of me at the costumer service counter today. They had obviously returned their recycling and needed some assistance because the machines were not working. The worker behind the counter (Adam) rudely told her she needed to go back outside and someone would eventually come. The woman was by now fusterated, explain that she had been waiting a long time already and had asked for help and would like someone to meet her there. The worker insisted she go outside, which she complied. As she walked out of earshot he began to make fun of her to his manager and coworkers. So sad to see this behavior, especially with a manager there. I did tell the worker he was being disrespectful and he began doing the same thing to me. I spoke with another manager that hopefully will do something about this outrageous behavior.

It’s clean, it’s friendly, they have organic/​natural section and they have a Starbucks inside, it sounds like a 5 star store but I can’t. I hate the parking lot. It’s small, it’s sloped (hold on to your cart!) and it’s not an easy in and out of 99w. Then I get in the store, and it’s the worst layout I have ever seen from FM. Departments are not in section. Toothpaste, milk and Men’s jeans are located on the same corner. It’s bizarre and it makes not want to buy any of it.

Being from Southern California, we don’t have any Fred Meyer stores. This place is cool! Great grocery store and more. Just bought a new BBQ for an amazing deal. The gentleman that helped us definitely went over the top making sure it would fit in our car and then helping us load it. Great customer service!

This Fred Meyer is certainly as good as it gets. Very nice décor, layout and it is the «fancy» version of Fred Meyer. Great service and helpful staff.

Yep, it’s a huge grocery store that also has a whole lot more from furniture to electronics. Overall I do like that they have so much but I wish they had a bit more organic and healthy options vs the usual stuff you;‘d find in a Safeway. But it works for me and the staff is mostly cool here too even if a few of the checkers are a bit slow (this might be due to the coupon cutters which is what happens at these not so yuppie like stores that I usually frequent :)

Halloween candy 75% off! SCORE!
Tigard Fred Meyer has a pretty good selection, and it’s always clean and tidy. It’s organized a little better than some of the others stores, so it’s easier to find the department and item you are looking for.
Parking. A nightmare. Getting in and out the main entrance is perilous and time consuming. If you are a smarty-​pants like me, you know and use the secret back entrance. :-)
This one time (today,) there was NO LINE at customer service! I would have taken a picture of that, but unfortunately I was distracted by the 75% off candy that was calling my name.
I forgot that Freddy’s has a jewelry store. They had a really nice selection and good prices too.

Brand new and all remodeled last year in this up and coming area of SW. Huge mega store, clean, well stocked, friendly. I would compare it to a WFM deluxe. It pretty much has everything they have in Bridgeport with a few exceptions.
This location in SW Portland park/​Metzger Park area is huge. Parking never a problem only during holidays. I go here often. There is never a long line at the register.
Busting at the seems with Everything you could possibly want. Fresh Food deli, Clothes, house goods, appliances, electronics. Rock on!
Check on coupons and specials to keep that total at the register in check.
I will agree with another local reviewer that they need to offer more local made housewares and clothing. We don’t like items made overseas in sweatshop style countries. This is PORTLAND. We live in PORTLAND and like it. Buyers for the store need to stock with local products. I purchased a PJ set on sale and after the first wash it fell apart. Also need the buyer of this store to buy not tested on animal products.
One thing that WFM has one up on them is the prepared foods/​hot food section deli takeout. Otherwise it is very similar without breaking the bank.

This place is a moral dilemma for me. It’s all bright shiny clean and makes me smile.
This location on 99W is massive. Parking is a nightmare. I only go when I have lots of time. It’s never a quick in and out trip.
Once I make it inside, it’s all good. The floral displays are quite attractive. Every employee I come across is crazy nice and helpful. I’m mean really!!! WOW.
This behemoth of a store has EVERYthing you could possibly want. Fresh Food, Clothes, all things for the home, appliances, all electronics. Crazy.
I bought a shower squeegee, a roasting pan, multiple ornaments, a reindeer headband, and a box of duraflame logs for $ 53!!! I thought it was going to be well over $ 100. Apparently everything was 10% off. Some things were buy one get one ½ off and then there was a $ 10 off promo. All those discounts required the checker to have a brain and know what discounts and in store coupons to scan at the register. WOW.
So what’s my dilemma you ask?
EVERYTHING WAS made in CHINA!!! Barff. I know, I’m a willing participant to the crime. They are providing a great many jobs for local people. This is true. I just can’t let myself shop here more.

This review is for the Tigard Fred Meyer, Electronics Department only. Actually, it’s for «Chris» that appears to float thru other departments as well.
I need a new computer and with Black Friday coming up, I thought I’d look into tablets. So as I was grocery shopping, I saw they had a few laptops and tablets on display. I guessed I could read the specs without much help but it turned out there are a lot of quirks about the new tablets I did not know about.
So at the desk was «Chris» that I thought would at least know the prices of the several tablets on display. Turns out he knows MUCH MUCH more. And my internet connection would only work with a few tablets. He spent quite a bot of time with me and was very informative. To be precise, he saved me from making a $ 300 mistake and then TRY to return it after opening the box… always a hassle with electronics.
The prices were about average but I’m pretty sure they’ll be going on sale in the next week or so.
Best Buy has a reputation of having knowledgeable staff but my guess is they are about be completely overwhelmed.
I did NOT buy a new tablet on this day, but will return on Black Friday or the weekend. And I cannot believe I have another «First to Review» at their huge, recently remodeled store. (odd … this is called the «TIGARD Fred Meyer … but the 97 223 zip is technically Portland). It’s just a few hundred yards West of Tigard exit from I-​5 Southbound.
Now it’s time to review the not so good meat department…

Wow! A «First to Review» for a Fred Meyer! Now my Unilocal Life is Complete…
I’m hanging out with my Son this Weekend, and as predicted he wanted to hop in the car and go to Target. What he really wanted was to «look» at Magic Cards and check out the Electronics section for Christmas present ideas. However, as we were both unfamiliar with this sprawling part of suburbia, we ended up at the Fred Meyer instead after failing to find the Red Bulls Eye.
The only downside that I found with this Fred’s was the traffic pattern getting out and back on the main road. After watching the line slowly move out, I decided to head out the back way and through a residential neighbourhood, which I’m sure the folks living here «really» appreciate. Yet, after heading up a few blocks, I easily found a road that had street light protection.
As for this Fred Meyer, it’s big, bright, and friendly. The Grocery Store is immense and the Kid’s cards could be found at the Customer Service Counter. The Electronics and Toy Sections were decent and now I have a good idea how my Son’s Holiday wish list is shaping up.

Cool store and location but still under construction

My review is based on the extreme service provided by cashier extrordinaire MICHAELA!
I came into this location with a specific task of picking out a small bouquet of flowers, but being that I am anal about the presentation of bouquets, I purchased nicer tissue paper with the intention of tossing the boring pre-​wrap cellophane and re-​packaging.
The slection of flowers is standard and fresh. There are two areas in the store with floral stations; the main one is near hardware and a smaller station is near the registers in the grocery annex.
At the register, I nicely asked Michaela if I could use the balloon station to reassemble the flowers and use the scissors and the ribbon. It seemed to be the strangest request she had received on this late evening, but she was interested in knowing more about my project. Next thing I know, Michaela transforms into the Oregonian Martha Stewart and executes my vision. She even gave me a more designer cellophane as support for the tissue paper!
Granted, there was no line of annoyed customers waiting to check-​out behind me, since the hardware annex is more vacant. Michaela went above and beyond and helped me create a beautifully wrapped bouquet.
Bouquet of mini magenta roses: $ 8.99
Hallmark designer tissue paper: $.50 clearance
Micheala’s customer service: Priceless
67 year-​old ballroom dancer that received the bouquet: Speechless
p. s. There is a full service Starbucks and Chase ATM inside and this location is open until 11PM EVERYDAY. 5 Sunny Stars for Michaela and Fred!
