One of the challenges in moving to another city is finding the establishments needed for every day living. This area of California is loaded with huge big-box, self-bag grocery stores. I prefer a proper grocery store with baggers and friendly checkers like at my Ralph's down in the LBC. I was pleased to find Save-Mart because it's about as close as I will get to a proper grocery in this town. Nicely stocked, but not overly stocked with too many random brands. Their selections lean toward the top sellers of many name brands. I was also pleased to find that Save-Mart also carries some items that I would have to get have to get from Whole Foods. The produce department is the best around, however, the meat department lacks a bit. There is a great deli and bakery section as well. The store layout is a bit strange for me and I still haven't found a way to maneuver the store without back tracking. My only critique is the prices. Save Mart is a bit on the higher side, but I guess that it's worth it to avoid the other stores in town. read more

I had a great experience over the phone with Matthew while placing a very last-minute cupcake order for my son's school. He was professional, patient, and incredibly accommodating. When he wasn't sure about something, he took the time to ask instead of just saying no, which I really appreciated. It was a last-minute birthday order, and he truly saved the day. Thank you so much, Matthew! read more

Today, May16, I went in to your Goshen and Akers store to do an Amazon return. This is probably the third or fourth time I was using your area. After doing the return I had a list of grocery items I was going to purchase. After trying multiple times trying to scan the bar code I asked one of your managers for assistance and he said he couldn't help me and walked off instead of calling someone else to assist me. I immediately left your store and got Amazon to change the return location to the UPS store right next door. I proceeded to take my list to Grocery Outlet to do my shopping. So not only did this manager upset a loyal costumer since 1997 the store lost out on my $200 purchase. This occurred around 12 today. Scott Jacobsen read more

Beautiful store with so many options, fresh produce beautiful bakery, very friendly clerks and knowledgeable of the store

They need to hire better stockers they put items in the wrong spot for example things that are WIC acceptable are not put in the right spots and most the time the bread has mold on it Iv bought bread there 3 times and each time I had to throw it away because it was moldy read more

I have shopped this store since it opened. I have always loved fresh produce, and all products are fresh and in stock. The staff is friendly and helpfull. Mark S. Is always friendly and helpfull. read more

Fast & friendly. Very clean . I look forward to the new sale ad each week. Best produce. Best meat deals 5/$25. The employees are very helpful. I need a large turkey & the meat man went to the back & brought a couple of turkeys to choose from. They are very helpful. read more

Hate this store- walnut and Akers! Today I buy a corned beef and bagger says to checker 'gross' Do I need to explain to young punk that I make corned once per year for St Patrick's Day? I agree, not a pretty meat nor healthy, but learn some respect! Savemart, you know how to maximize: profit- how about spending a little of that and train your workers or spend some bucks to hire better people, although that would be hard to get in this day and age! read more

Terrible customer service. Waited for over 10 minutes to get my monopoly tickets at the self check out. Need a better system. Saw me waiting n could care less. Terrible. I do not like to shop here but it's close to my home so sometimes suck it up. read more

So amazing!!! This colossal chocolate cake was a huge hit! And so moist and delicious!! It's my go to for now on! read more

Save Mart - Fudge Colossal Cake!!! Absolutely delicious!!! It's huge and even after feeding about 20 people, this is what was left!! - Grocery Near Me - visalia, California

This supermarket is decent, nothing too special but the staff is super nice. I remember coming here my first day and I kept asking someone who works there for help and said "sorry, I just moved here so I am a bit unfamiliar" and she said "oh well welcome to our community!" which was the sweetest thing and I still remember it. prices here aren't as cheap as win-co, and they don't offer bulk food shopping. Overall, clean, easy to navigate. I would come back. read more

I love getting my cakes from here .. they do a great job .. well for the most part .. but my only complaint here is the young Hispanic lady that works in Bakery .. every time I ask her a question or ask her to write something on my cake she looks annoyed... everyone else is awesome .. and very helpful.. Cakes are the best here .. read more

Save Mart - a birthday cake in a plastic container - Grocery Near Me - visalia, California

The best question I could ask is what makes this particular save Mart so shitty compared to all the other ones in town and I'll tell you right now what it is it's their employees attitude. I personally will never shop in the store again I've been there too many times. I spent thousands of dollars there and they're just rude and not helpful. Why not be helpful that's your business. Never going back again. read more

Usually good service however I was in last Sunday. Three employees standing by while we bagged our own groceries. I don't mind helping once in awhile when it's obviously busy, but if I wanted to bag my own groceries I'd go to Winco. read more

Had a very easy time finding everything and the new checkout bagger Christian was extremely helpful friendly and actually bagged my groceries the right way which doesn't happen a lot of stores. Thank you Christian for getting my groceries into my car even though it's miserable hot outside. With a bad back and a baby I couldn't have done it myself. read more

Joe at the register was rude to say the least, but he was so nice to the female associate he was flirting with. Called management and they said, "oh no, we've never heard Joe do something like that before. We'll talk to him." When I said Joe made the experience awkward and uncomfortable because Joe decided to throw a basket, which is definitely on film, his response, "I'm sorry you felt that way". I'm smart enough to know that the management was full of BS. Same old line to get me to shut up, that may work with some, but it sad that's how you choose to do business. I see why the associate had an issue, he must get it from management. read more

Save Mart - Grocery Near Me - visalia, California

I am accusing save mart of price gouging to the max, i purchased some all beef hot dogs at the visalia store supposedly they were on sale for $4.50 a pack, I went back to buy more only to find out they were priced at $7.59. I went to Winco only to find the exact same product for $2.98, I accuse you savemart of raping the American public read more

Save Mart - $7.59 at savemart, $2.98 at winco buyer be aware - Grocery Near Me - visalia, California

I was visiting family in the area recently and stopped in to get food for a gathering. Kathy was on her way to a break but stopped to help me find items. After I finished shopping, this delight of a checker was back from break and checked me out. Friendly, polite, helpful employee. Store was clean and beautifully arranged. Way to go Kathy and Save Mart! I'll be back on my next vacation! read more

This is a really nice grocery store. The prices are pretty cheap but the merchandise is still attractively displayed. There is a huge produce department moodily lit to kindle my love affair with food. The fruits and vegetables are attractively displayed. All that's missing are a few cafe tables where I can hang out and enjoy the atmosphere The bakery department carried a wide variety of baked goods and the deli department beckoned me towards it. They carry a very good selection of hard liquor at reasonable prices. I went in to purchase two items but was seduced into purchasing a whole basket full of goodies I was convinced I couldn't live without. The whole store is very clean and has nice wide aisles. It's a pleasant experience to shop here. There are even two redbox video rental machines inside where you can rent a few dvds to go with the dinner you probably have all the ingredients for when you're done here. read more

See all

I was shocked at how rudely the pharmacist treated me during my most recent visit. I had to wait nearly 10 minutes before even being greeted let alone helped. I was met with several eye rolls and a nasty tone of voice when I had done absolutely nothing to deserve such treatment. I will NEVER be filling another prescription at this location again. It was a horrid experience. read more

Savemart's transfer of medications to Walgreen is a joke. I knew would be. I went to CVS and set up my prescriptions to be filled. almost 2 weeks and NO MEDICATIONS. I tried to avoid Savemart like the Black Death. I really really hate Savemart. read more

I love coming to Save Mart's! Although the overall price to pay can be expensive, the service, availability of product and ability to walk around and browse makes this the place to shop. I like how certain items can be found here opposed to other locations like "wahlburgers ground beef", it's the only place in town that I'm able to pick up this prime selection of meat. I really got to hand it to this staff when it comes to being friendly under pressure, no matter how busy it can get they stay level headed and get the job done. If I really had to choose from coming here or going to another location to get my grocery needs, i would wait it out and come here. There's really just something special about coming here that makes me "actually" look forward to leaving the house to go out and grab some groceries. The ice cream selection is great! If you're ever in need for a certain brand of Ben & Jerry's then you're in luck! read more

I always seen their price tags posted on everything so no need to go get price checks. Staff is always friendly. Never have any issues with stuff being out of stock unless it's late in the week on a sale item, and even then they normally have it. Their "create your own 6pack" in the alcohol section is very nice and twice the size of most of the other save marts. My only complaint is they often have boxes of new stuff they are stocking in the middle of the aisle and it's generally in the way. Other then that though, I love this store! read more

One of the best grocery stores in Visalia. The staff is always super kind and it's easy to find what you need. Recommend! :)

I go into the deli this morning to get some meat, salad....... and so on about 40.00 worth of food. 3 women working wait let me change that statement 3 women behind the counter. woman 1 singing and laughing, hum I'm not at the American's got talent try outs. The next woman just standing there laughing and the 3rd washing her hands. I came to buy food and finally got the food and stood beside another customer also trying to pay. I sat my food down on the counter and walked out, along with the other woman trying to buy something. Thank you so much I went to Costco read more

Clerk checking out was very friendly and gracious, bag boy was gone after I told him I didn't need a bag and didn't help with putting items in cart. Cart boy or man was very rude, when I tried to put cart at end of his column he said he couldn't take more carts, only had 10 carts had me put it in stall. What a wimp, I use to do that work and 10 carts was for lazy persons. read more

Great produce section. Great staff. Good selection of meats. I went to the Bakery and ask for help finding the right pastries for a party, and they showed me several items to chose from. Thank you Savemart I will be back. read more

Save mart is just down the street from me I go there almost every day. I have never been treated rudely everyone is always friendly and helpful and if I need something and can't find it, I just ask to see if it can be ordered next thing I know they Stock it. read more

Pretty standard grocery store. Clean, good selection. I give it the 5 stars because the manager on duty last night saw me wandering aimlessly around the aisles. He came and asked me if he could help me find anything. I told him I was on a business trip and stuck in a hotel with no refrigerator or microwave for a few days so my choices were pretty slim. He told me that if I found anything that needed to be heated up, he would do it for me in the service deli. I didn't even take him up on it. Just thanked him for offering. That is some very solid customer service though. He was clearly busy and didn't have to go that extra mile. Good job man. read more

It's okay the prices $ are a little too high, but my mom works here , and she says it's a good job to work if u wanna work there .

Awesome bakery! The Bakery Dept is very helpful and everything they make tastes great. I go to them for all of our birthday cakes. read more

Save Mart - The SaveMart on Noble/Demaree has an amazing bakery! The employees there were very friendly, and the cake tasted great! - Grocery Near Me - visalia, California

Very nice and helpful staff for the most part, the manager is very nice and carring, he took the time to go accross the store for me so that he could make sure I got my free soda for a special they had, clean store and very convenient, the only reason I dont give the 5 star is because in the deli and cake department I havent gotten that great service yet, they seem very busy I guess and I have not felt acknowledged the few times I've been there read more

Ugh! The lady working in the deli tonight kept wiping her face and even pulled on her nose while waiting on customers. Gross! She was also quite cranky, - maybe a long, bad day. Who knows, but this is not the way to make money for the store. I'm pretty sure she's touching food and other things that will end up in someone's kitchen, with filthy hands. read more

Best Save mart in town. Amazing employees. I have been to a couple other Save Marts in town and none of them compare to the genuine friendliness of the employees at this one. I love my Save Mart and the people that make it a great place to shop at. read more

Really like this savemart. The gentleman behind the meat counter was kind enough to cut me some ribs, because there was noon left out front. Always good customer service. read more

Store is clean, and staff is very friendly and helpful. Nice selection of wines and liquors. Meat department offers wide selection of both meat and seafood. The deli is very nice, bakery just so-so, but I usually don't buy bakery items. The only complaint is the produce section. Without a doubt, one of the worst in town, with many vegetables completely shriveled with age. I've purchased avocados that turned totally rotten in just one day. With the emphasis on healthy eating, it is very disappointing not to have fresh, wholesome vegetables readily available in your local market. read more

went in wantin somethin fancy bought a 12 dollar 22oz brew along with my other goods. didn't get a receipt, not because i didn't say "no its ok" but because she just didn't print me one up, or they don't give out receipts there or ran out of paper, idk. but i didn't think much of it who needs one. eh? I get home, settle in, and about 95 minutes into my relaxation time i decide to pour me a glass of that good ol' Shipyard Signature Series baby. Wait, what's this? I notice right away, I mean right away, somethings wrong . That once mesmerizing and infamous aroma of ships... and yards. is now a sort of moldy and mildewy mix of mold and mildew ? bullshit clumped up on the bottom and shit. check the date, not 3 but 8 months past the sell by date my bdays in aug thats this month 8 months ago is january damn near decemb fucks wrong with y'all? read more

I give Save Marts 1 star due to the fact that this is number or Breyers lactose free ice cream that they handle when there is more available. I have checked with the manager at the E Noble Ave store he said that was a corporate decision which he had no control of. I would think that with all of the people who suffer from Lactose Intolerance Save Mart would handle more. The other lactose free ice creams they handle are extremely expensive with little variety. read more
