I was surrounded by beauty, cleanliness, organization, employees who cared! Wow! I felt like I was in a movie set the place was so clean and organized. Grand Opening ready is the term to use. I walked and walked around just looking and appreciating the wide brightly lighted aisles and perfectly aligned products on shelves. Then I saw the meat and deli area. Double wow! Fully staffed, fully stocked, and everyone was smiling and happy! Triple wow! Photos follow. Judge for yourselves. Almost made me want to move to Washington.

It is just blocks from downtown, so the location makes it easy for many. Staff is always friendly and helpful. I frequent the store a couple of times a week because it is only blocks from my home.

If you're like me, when you think "Walmart" you think of a dingy, dirty, sad place where everything…read moreis disorganized, where mothers and children scream-fight in the aisles, where the occasional dead-eyed employee darts among the shadows, their will to live irreparably corroded by the endless drudgery and rude customers. THE WASHINGTON, IOWA WALMART IS DIFFERENT. Sure, I still had an awkward "No, you first" moment with a meth-head looking guy trying to get into his car as I was getting out, but he was a POLITE meth-head looking guy. Inside, the Walmart is AMAZING. It's PEACEFUL. The employees were all smiling, working industriously. The patrons were polite. Children and parents interacted calmly and happily with one another. My boyfriend strolled the neatly stocked and perfectly organized aisles with wide eyes, wondering "Is this heaven?" No. It's the Washington, IA Walmart.

The aos is a little disappointing because they don't always get everything the big stores do, wine selection isn't what it is at other stores. But I love the wine I've purchased. Cider beers are good too! Here's my aldi find for the day!

The store is clean, organized, and has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the prices are very reasonable. I always leave with something special -- whether it's fresh cinnamon rolls, hand-packed spices, or locally made jams. Definitely worth the trip if you're in the area!

The atmosphere of the Amish people driving horse and buggy, boys in suspenders and straw hats while girls wear their bonnets and traditional dresses, the courtesy the men show, clothing hanging on the clothesline, bare feet, fresh produce - I love it. We stopped by the grocery store to pick up baking supplies for cornbread, rhubarb jam, and butternut squash. Most products sold in the store are packed in bulk. It is such a wonderful experience to be amongst the Amish. Please be respectful.

I really hate shopping here, but now I'm not even going back in this place. Every time I come here…read moreI have to check the date on everything I buy and I have to make sure that if it's frozen it's actually frozen and if it's cold, it's actually cold. This is something you shouldn't have to do every time you go to a store. The first time I shopped here I got baby food and it wasn't until I got home and my wife noticed the baby food was out of date. I took it back to the store right away, the same people were there because it had only been like 10 minutes and they would not refund it or let me get any new baby food because I didn't have a receipt Yesterday we went in there, and the store is nothing short of filthy. As you will see in the pictures they have a lot of stuff out of date and their entire frozen meat section isn't working everything in it is thawed. Even the chocolate milk has separation because it's not cold enough where the milk is at. We got hotdogs and I told my wife to check the date. Sure enough they were way out of date. Ido not know how this place stays open and how people are not getting sick. Checking with other members of the community. I am being told that it has had multiple complaints but that nothing has happened. When it was brought up, the freezer was not keeping stuff frozen and that everything was thawed. The only thing we got from the employee was, "yeah we know " I don't even want to give this place one star but if you can't manage it correctly and you can't serve food to people that is acceptable then you don't need to be open. I took a video of the freezer section and how things were not frozen, but I can't upload a video on Yelp.
