The place is neat and clean and well-stocked. We actually found everything that was on our list. We're not from the area, but we usually take my Mom shopping here as she lives in the East Bay, so we come to this store often.

This place was a mess and so unorganized…read more The line was horrendous. It literally wrapped around the store they only had 3 cashiers working. And there was no urgency with any of the employees. I was helped by a young Hispanic lady at register 8 and she was literally texting in the middle of my transaction with no customer service etiquette. I was literally baffled.

All the stores are almost the same as the Fremont Hub, except they have more restaurants and cafes,…read moreless than a mile from the beach. Lots of retail options too, like TJ Maxx, Old Navy, West Marine, Daiso, Ulta, and more. They even have Crunch Fitness near Marugame Udon. It's more spacious than Fremont Hub; I had to look at the directory twice to not lose direction. Most people go here for Trader Joe's and Safeway for errands. Plus, it's conveniently located near the post office. Great to visit when in Alameda.

This is for Santa on Xmas Eve 2025 - we arrived at 230p and stood in line until 4p and were the…read morefirst ones in line before they cut it off bc they closed at 4p. The female worker at the cashier wanted to get her family in (they were right in front of us) and lied to the rest of the line that was in the building already they it would be fine. Her family was the only family that was allowed to take professional photos with Santa before security came to cut the line off. Nepotism at its finest despite the fact it was already 4p. Common sense and common courtesy was lacking in Christmas spirit today. Luckily, Santa had the Xmas spirit and took selfies with the rest of us in line (the long line outside, I'm not so sure). The employees need to be trained in managing the line better and cutting it off before people stand in line for over an hour. Thanks, Santa! Next year they should have two monitors - one to take the photos and the other so people can select. Then all the employees can be doing something useful at all times to keep the line moving along. Otherwise, it was the same person - the photographer taking the photos, helping choose the photos, explaining the packages, etc. Super inefficient when there is a line - you could tell they weren't used to it.

I was in search of some skin care items and after seeing the face roller at so many different Ross…read morelocations for months I've wanted one but haven't felt like going into Ross. I was nearby and told myself, " It's either now or you're ordering online and waiting for shipping time." We don't all use amazon prime for everything - the majority of items though, yes! I walked in and went straight to the body care/skin care section on the right. There was a large stock of lotions, but not so much the face roller and ice roller. I got the last of each. There weren't many cashiers when i got to the line, but they called another associate to the register and she was getting through the line fast. I was in line for no more than 5 minutes with about 7 customers ahead of me. It was an average experience, hence the 3 stars.

The building used to be occupied by Office Depot and is huge. This is the first Ross in Oakland so I'm looking forward to shopping here more often! This is a large Ross and I like the fact that there is more room for merchandise and the check-out area is smaller and all the check stands are in a row. Parking is free but I noticed someone was marking my tires when I parked!

If you haven't, it's a store with lots of cute discount items from Asia. There are games, toys, plushies, cute stationary, and lots of snacks. There's also household items that are attractive, but I question their durability. There are lots of gadgets that are sometimes hard to resist. This location is very convenient, near lots of food places and stores. There's plenty of parking, and the area is nice. They have self-checkout, as well as someone at the register. It's a nice place to browse and maybe walk out with a new gadget you didn't know you needed.

Wow. I completely echo the recent one-star reviews about the inability to get anybody at this…read morepharmacy on the phone. Some months ago it seemed they had made some improvements, and it was getting a little easier to get a human being on the phone at the pharmacy, but more recently things have really taken a nosedive. Calls to the pharmacy are now routed through a call center located who knows where, but since many issues can only be resolved at the pharmacy itself, the call center ends up transferring you to the local pharmacy you were trying to reach in the first place, wasting your time in the process. When you get transferred to the Otis Dr. pharmacy, they simply do not pick up the phone. You are put on hold and put back on hold infinitely until you give up or the system automatically hangs up on you. This is completely unacceptable. Zero respect for customers, their time and well-being, especially the infirm, elderly, and disabled who may not have the tenacity to keep trying to reach this unreachable pharmacy. Having no way to reach one's pharmacy over the phone is a health and safety issue that warrants a formal complaint with the appropriate government agencies. All because Walgreens corporate doesn't want to spend the money to staff appropriately. Shameful and inexcusable.

Sketchers Outlet, Foodmaxx, Popeyes, Starbucks. Nothing too unique but the stores here are probably…read moreeverything you would ever need. Ross and Smash Burger (coming soon) and a Hawaii BBQ spot. A donut spot. Lots of places but nothing really worth going out of your way for. Just familiar chains. Lots of parking. There is a "laundromat" there - I think its just a disguise for the police station there. Should be fairly safe - I just imagine that police eat donuts all night long behind the boarded up windows that are off to the side of the laundromat.

Good shopping center in the Fruitvale District…read more The big stores here are FoodMaxx, KG Fashion Superstore and AutoZone. There are also some small stores, a bank and GameStop, along with places to eat, so you could get a lot done here if you want. I used to come here often when I lived nearby and this shopping center wasn't built up as much as it is now. I think it's great that they really improved this area.
