I was on a mission to buy flowers to make an arrangement for my niece's funeral service. I had planned on going to Trader Joe's for their flower selection, but decided to try Save Mart on Pelendale on the way. What a wonderful arrangement of bouquets and floral arrangements! While I was looking, an employee walked up with a smile and said " I can add anything you'd like to an arrangement if you'd like something bigger". He was so helpful and added some more greenery that I liked to the arrangement. This young man's name was Marcus and Save Mart should be very thankful they have such a kind and considerate employee! Thanks again, Marcus! read more

Good Customer service now is rare . Took my mom to get a hot sandwich and the guy at the bakery had his headphones on and barely paid attention to us until I said something. Then I asked about warming up her sandwich and he said he already had the machine cooling. So basically no... the only reason to get a sandwich from the bakery is for it to be hot. Otherwise I could've made a sandwich at home for her so that was disappointing.. Then we go up to the register and all the cashiers are hanging out in the front so I have to wave one down to get us over to our register. then I ask about the bakery and stuff and she's like I'm not sure what time they close or whatever. She didn't seem to care ,didn't apologize or nothing. She just stared at me . I wish I could work somewhere where I can just hang around up front and get paid for it great work, SAVEMART. read more

Good promotions and sales. Save Mart was GREAT when it was ran by the Piccinini...now it feels and looks like a low budget cheap grocery store.... almost like Cost Less. Lol. read more

anti theft carts no longer let you take groceries to car. carts now lock up at door snd will not move. No one at store would help. worst store. terrible people there. Switching stores now. Had it. This store over charged me by over $100 previously. The manager tried to tell me it was correct. Called me a stupid boomer behind my back as I walked away. Disgusting people read more

Save Mart has always been mediocre when it comes to what they offer. They offered something different this time, milk, tea, Boba. I was pretty surprised and thought I would give it a try. It's not bad however, their Boba is not fresh made. It's very gelatinous and not soft like the cooked one you get at a Boba milk tea shop. I'm not surprised and it's acceptable for five dollars. I usually pick up my groceries here with my husband but today we needed a couple of items and I saw their advertisement for the drink so I thought I would give it a try.

I know usually this is my go to store and I get home and find out the sodas that I bought where even it was advertised by to get to and I had to pay for all four I was like I thought it was by to get two free that's what it says and I got the same flavors and I even looked at the sign to make sure cuz I noticed it was getting the wrong soda that wasn't qualified under it alls I know is I will be sure to check my receipt before I get home not after. read more

1) Save Mart Pelandale Ave. 2) President Trump inaugural day! 3) we stopped by to buy a patriotic cake and cupcake for my grandchildren. they did not have one item to acknowledging this awesome day! sad that every other event is acknowledged, but not this great day! I will take my business to more patriotic store! read more

To be ripped off is bad enough but to be treated rudely, accused of trying to get over on them and told that I was confused and asked if I wanted it or not was too much. That's when I'd had enough and started taking pictures. See for yourselves. The sale was $1.99 a pound The package was 6.48lbs It rang up as 9.72lbs FRAUD THEFT CORRUPTION Employees involved Brittany Francisco read more

having signs out where the customers could see it saying no overtime to the employees really makes me think that the employees are going to hustle to get their jobs done instead of standing there watching the damn clock no wonder to say Mark losing money read more

Today I had the worst experience at the check out. First of all I am a Save Mart member. Reluctantly, I go to my app each time I shop and mark all the coupons and sale prices items. This is the only way Save Mart will give me their ad prices . It doesn't matter that you have to enter your phone number, you still have to go to the app and mark the coupons and sales items. I get to the register for check out and my sales items are not showing. I tell the checker who asks, is it in the ad? I tell him it's on my app. He then has to get a bagger to go and check. Why don't the employees have a paper ad at the register. This went on for several items as they were not ringing up the correct price. The line behind me started to go all the way back No one that works there had any sense of urgency. Gal came over and said oh yeah our digital coupons aren't working. Not my problem!!! Why do I the consumer know what's on the ad and not the employees. It literally took 15-20 minutes to get checked out. Word of advice to management, have your employees know what's on sale, have ads at the front registers and finally why isn't my phone number enough to get the membership pricing? The app doesn't work many times. Poor, poor customer service. I am in retail and this is inexcusable. Do better. read more

Since going through 3 owners the prices have increased substantially.This is while they cut the benefits to their store employees They discontinued the little carts running around the neighborhood I think they will continue with the high prices as long as customers stand for it read more

I absolutely love their bakery department! I ordered this cake for my little cousin and she was jumping all over the place after seeing it. I placed my order through the phone and imagined someone else but they totally outdid it! I don't go to my local save mart just because of the bakery at this location. The decorators deserve a raise for their hard work. read more

Good Evening Yelpies, Just left SaveMart and thought I would pass on some great ideas for the working professional that doesn't have time to make lunch or dinner.. Go to the butcher department where all those awesome prime cuts are done. Look to the left ( depending on the store)in the cold case and feast your eyes on 15 to 18oz fresh made meal preps!!! Shrimp, Salmon, Tilapia, and Chicken breast loaded with fresh produce. Pop it in the microwave 5 to 8 min and eat something heathy add some rice and sink into a food coma. Not liking the microwave you can back it too.... Still reading ? Why Go get your food only $6.00 each !!! read more

Terrible store now. Replaced lower priced items for more expensive low quality items. People are very rude here now. Been going here for years and not going anymore. Zero stars! read more

Save Mart Pelandale is awesome and always has been. I get consistently good service and they remain well stocked. Most of their baggers could use more training, but generally their staff is knowledgeable and helpful. read more

SaveMart honestly used to be my one-stop shop for groceries, but I'm seriously considering another store. It's like they've become like a Whole Foods. They're overly priced and always out of shit! The past couple of weeks, I was unable to find Leafy Green Romaine lettuce on the shelf. This time around, they were also all out of Hibiscus Iced Tea and very low on bagels. read more

Bigger and better. That's what our society is always seeking. Case in point, the new Save Mart on Pelandale in Modesto. The store officially opened for business today. As I entered the store I was surprised at how much bigger this store is compared to other Save Marts in the area. I headed toward the produce section. Huge variety! Unusual varieties of fruits and veggies (Buddha's Hands and yellow cauliflower) are displayed next to more familiar types such as apples and carrots. There is a huge bakery section with some adorable speciality cakes on display. My little nephew would LOVE the pirate ship cake! The smell of freshly baked bread made my mouth water. The meat and fish counters featured a nice selection of choice cuts and seafood. Since today was the grand opening, good sale prices were found throughout the store. I picked up some fresh blueberries and raspberries (over 15 ounces) for $5.99 each! Quite the bargain I must say. All in all, the new Save Mart is quite impressive and worth checking out. read more

Parking lot was super dark and cashier wasn't friendly at all! Didn't say hello or goodbye 1

So a couple of days ago, to my dissapointment I encountered something rather disturbing in the butcher block. I ordered some calamari steaks that I had been craving all day and when I got home there was nothing fresh about them. I'm surprised the meat guy didn't catch the sogginess of the steaks. I just tossed them! I called them to let them know but the phone just kept ringing and ringing. As a matter of fact I just called right now and the phone just rang and ran and no answer. Come on Savemart...dont dissapoint me I left O'briens because of bad service. read more

I've dabbled in other stores to find many of my staple items but always seem to come back here even though they aren't always the lowest price. I still appreciate how clean and convenient the store is to mi casa. The clerks also are very kind, especially the ones that see me early in the morning when I do the majority of my shopping trips. Also very pleased that they fixed the Samsung Pay problem they had at the self-checkout lanes. Now I can get points for that and my usual SaveMart Rewards points. Utter win-win for me! read more

I got an Italian sandwich from here & it was excellent! For $5.99 it easily fed two people. The ingredients were fresh and the guy took his time preparing it. Good job! read more

Always has fresh fruit and veggies. Also, this store is usually very clean and organized.

Customer service at this store is awful; today has made it my FINAL & LAST TIME I WILL BE IN THIS STORE! I've been coming to this store since it opened and have never been awed over the mediocre customer service, but have tolerated it because it's closest to my house. I've had friends/family complain to corporate & the store manager also, but obviously on deaf ears because the environment steadily keeps getting worse over time. The typical rudeness is most of the employees, mainly the checkers, do not want to smile and always seem bothered. Today - I was trying to use the self-check, searched around the self-check area for a wet wipe because the registrar area I was going to use was dirty. Couldn't find any wipes; eventually their employee Chanel walked up & I asked if she had any wipes for the registrar I was about to use. She looked annoyed, responded "over at the front door" & then pointed me in that direction. In astonishment, I then took my cart to the loooong checkout line. Once it was my turn the cashier just started scanning my groceries; NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED ME.....NO HELLO.....NO EYE CONTACT.... NOTHING.....did not say one word to me until she handed me my receipt. She was dressed sloppily with her apron hanging below her breasts & no name tag; I'm assuming her name is Kassandra because that's what my receipt states. She had no idea what just happened to me over at self-check so it's not like her rudeness was due to that. Point being the rude employee environment is rancid in this store. The nice consistent employees are the baggers for the most part. TIME FOR A NEW MANAGER!! read more

I know with a pandemic help is desperately needed, but the way the heavy set, older, white casheir with a boys hair cut is with people is not acceptable. As a customer we pay full price and expect to have good service. Not to be sassed or mouth of too, or feel less than. If I wanted that I'd go to Walmart and spend way less money. Maybe it's time for retirement and have one of the young nice baggers to be promoted read more

Monica the "assistant manager" was lazy and Rude. I came in asking for a money order to pay my rent because I usually get them from here as I buy my groceries, as the cashier with long black hair started to process my money order, Monica or at least I think that's her name said "our system automatically locks her out for money orders after 10pm" when I know I always get them From this location every month. I asked "I usually always get them here and there's never a problem" she looked at me sarcastically and said "I don't know what store you get them at but not here" as she strutted with attitude to the customer servixe desk. Making me feel like a complete idiot, due to this issue I WILL NEVER return to this location, she made me feel like a total idiot standing there and worst of all the cashier who has made the money orders for me before didn't back me up. I called and asked to speak with the manager and she lied to me telling me she was the store manager. I repeatedly had to ask her if she truly was the "WHOLE LOCATION MANAGER" because I needed to let him know about my terrible experience here and because of her I will never be returning to this location. She finally told me his name was Louie and I will be calling him tomorrow to let him know about my experience. I hope you're reading this Monica, I work retail also and we never treat our customers this way, they pay your paychecks, and I wish karma gives you what you deserve. read more

I'm fairly impressed with how this store is doing during the pandemic. I've shopped at this store for years. Staff is very friendly. My cart is always cleaned. As an observant person I'm saddened for how some of these employees are treated by customers. Most of these employees ringing up/bagging your groceries are children! I recognize their efforts while some days lines are long and the pin pad isn't wiped in between every customer but I can tell they are doing their best and that's why I continue to shop at this Pelandale store. Keep up the great work Save Mart! Some of us appreciate what you have done and are doing! read more

DO NOT Order a custom cake from this place. We have tried TWICE now and both times they have ruined events at my wife's work. This second time was the worst. The piping was horrible and not even close to what we asked for. The cake looked so bad, she actually had to settle for a pre-made cake from the display. When they brought out the replacement cake, the lettering on it looked like e three year old wrote it. My wife was in tears and has to bring a cake to a coworker's baby shower that looks like garbage. To compensate her for the mistake - a whopping 10 bucks off of the crappy pre-made cake that looks like a hot mess. This store will not see another penny from me, and I will let everyone I know to stay away at all costs. read more

It makes no sense to have a self check out and you cannot add the bags until after. Would it. It make sense to scan the bag and be able to fill it as you are scanning your items? More than one person checking people out would work too! read more

As I was walking into the store, a middle-aged man and what appeared to be his teenage son were walking out of the store...no masks. No shirt or shoes = no service. No mask = no worries...come on in, it's only a pandemic. Step it up Save Mart and protect your customers, and how about say...your EMPLOYEES. I won't be back as this is a blatant disregard for others...especially when you have tons of other shopping options. read more

So glad Save Mart relocated to this location! Larger, cleaner, more parking.... but still very close to the freeway. Well -organized and well-stocked. It was a little difficult to locate some of my items (contact solution) as the isle labels were not super helpful. I also appreciated the ample parking with shade available! Will definitely return to do some grocery shopping! read more

I really like this Savemart. It's clean . The people who work there are super friendly. And I love how they always have samples . This is the best savemart in modesto. Love coming here. Produce is always fresh. This is the savemart I go to. read more

I am very disappointed in this savemart after what happened this morning. I was looking at all the choices of floral arrangements they have here because they seem to have the biggest selection of arrangements compared to the savemart by my home. I took quite a while choosing which floral arrangement was the best because they were going to be a birthday bouquet for my coworker who loves flowers, so they needed to be perfect. Most of the floral arrangements I saw were old, dried up, or falling apart. I really had a hard time finding an amazing, nice looking bouquet until I looked in the back of the fridge (that's where they keep the freshest ones.) I took the time inspecting each arrangement making sure it was perfect. Finally, as I turned around with the arrangement, there was a security guard right next to me. Very obvious he was sent to watch me or keep an eye on me. Did I look that suspicious trying to look for a floral arrangement that they had to send a security to watch me? I should've confronted him about it. Maybe I should have even asked for his opinion on the floral arrangement I chose since no employee there tried to assist me at all. Also, very noticeable that the security guard began to follow me to the check out lane. I totally get it sir you want that bonus check if you catch someone stealing, but you ain't getting it from me! Shout out to you, Asian security guard! Stealing is not my thing though; I believe in karma. read more

I am writing this review and sadness because this Save Mart on Pelandale is nicer than all the other Save Mart stores and having lived in the central valley for 20 years I think I've Save Mart as our neighborhood grocery store but last night I went and bought some hamburger which the price looked too good to be true it was still expensive but the packaging looked great and the meat look nice and red and fresh I was disgusted to open it up this morning and find that other than the outside fake layer of red meat the inside was disgusting Old smelly meat. Shame on Savemart , shame on them for tricking their neighbors who work hard for their money, shame on giving them food that is not quality and maybe not even safe as this really smelled once you took the beautiful red pieces that they had planted on top. I mostly disappointed that they thought they can get away with it by putting fresh meat over old smelly meat to try to get rid of it they should just have sold it in a package that looked old and smelly if they were brave enough to do so. Th is a particularly difficult topic topic for me as my son nearly died of hemolytic uremic from bad ground beef 16 years ago so this kind of stuff really hurts me but I have forever lost trust in this grocery chain and I can see why stores such as Whole Foods or Trader Joe's or sprouts are becoming more popular given this corporate environment. read more

This store is a complete train wreck. They are always out of stock and there seems to be no sense of urgency to restock the store. It seriously looks like they have been looted. There are never enough cashiers and all of them have an indifferent attitude. I wish they would just sell the company to someone else that knows how to run grocery stores. They are over priced and half of the store is out of stock and it's been that way for months. There seems to be no action plan to fix anything. They receive 1 truck a day and if it's not enough to fill the shelves nobody cares. The in stock condition was terrible before the COVID19 pandemic and now it's like the company as a whole has all but given up. Please do the neighborhood a favor and just get out of the grocery business. At this point, the company need new management from top to bottom. They can remodel a store a dozen times but if you can't stay in stock what is the point? We need food not fake wood floors. If I could give this store less than one star I would. When was this store last walked by a supervisor like a Regional Manager? It's like SaveMart has been abandoned by its owner and entire upper management team. I wouldn't waste your time going in because you won't find what you are looking for and nobody and I mean nobody is going to care. Sell the company... Go do something else.... read more
