I love Grocery Outlet. I pretty much shop there every weekend. It is my first stop to get as much…read moreas I can on my grocery list (plus plenty of weird and wonderful unexpected finds that aren't). Employees are always nice enough and some are real charmers. They have really cool stuff you won't find elsewhere and most of the time their prices are less than your standard grocery chain. All that remains true at this new location in Salem, but I have to admit I didn't love it. I think the layout and design is a lot more "outlet" than the ones I usually frequent and I just didn't like the feel. I'm sure they had all the same great products, but I honestly didn't enjoy shopping and didn't wander like I usually would. It's not really their fault and I don't know how else to say I didn't like the vibes but....well I didn't. Once thing I'll give them is that they had some seriously gorgeous and fairly rare philodendrons in their plant section. I didn't see them until after I'd checked out, but they did tempt me to get back in line. So while I won't actively avoid this store, you are more likely to find me at Lancaster Drive when in Salem.

Talk about a glow up! It's as if Sandra D (Street) transformed into Sandy before right here in…read moreSalem. The drab lights, leaky refrigerators and tired look are a thing of the past. The parking lot is much more accessible and the storefront, more welcoming. The aisles are wider and the store, brighter. Selection seems to be the same; you can find a great selection of coffee, closeout health and beauty, and international options. They usually run a deal on turkeys for the holidays, but I'd suggest to throughly check any perishables, as deals here come with a risk of going bad quickly, I'm not sure if the increased prices are due to the move or what our government is doing to the economy, but my favorite sea salt sunflower seeds went up from $2.99 to $5.99 in the past several months. I usually have favorite stores for particular items, so check out this new location (tucked back by Northern Lights movie theater) and share your review!

Spacious ground floor in the old Reed Opera House with neat & funky art along the walls. Product variety overall is perhaps "above-average". My staples are usually Kettle chips, Jackson (avocado oil) chips, pasta red sauce and pasta or spaghetti Barilla noodles. Now, if only they could add a good quality oat milk...

The price is not $1 on everything like at Dollar Tree, but it has great quality products (brand name products included) and the prices are less than grocery chains.

Reading the reviews I notice they are almost all from a few years ago. This is December 31, 2023…read more* Woodburn Mega Foods has all the basic staples available in most grocery stores plus many items and brands needed for authentic European and Mexican cooking not found at Safeway or Walmart. * The parking lot is in excellent shape with parking spaces clearly marked and clean. * The produce department, deli and bakery look great and have a wide selection with many options not available anywhere else in the Woodburn area. * The shortage of cashiers currently does not seem to be a problem generally. There can be lines during peak times but the cashiers work steadily to get people checked out quickly. * There is a self checkout section with a person available to help with any problem. * Most of the cashiers speak English and Spanish and are friendly to everyone. As for the cashiers not being particularly chatty - I value getting in and out of the grocery store quickly. In fact, it irritates me when things are held up by cashiers carrying on conversations with customers when there is a line. The store has the warehouse look, like Costco, and is clean, fresh, and usually well stocked. Like many stores today they may be out of something due to shipping delays but I normally can find everything I need. I wanted to let people know what Woodburn Mega Foods shopping is like now.

I went to return a couple paint rollers that left plastic pieces all over my door i was painting…read more The rollers said they were for smooth to semi smooth surface painting. Cory, a manager at Ace proceeded to mansplain to me that ​ I chose the wrong rollers for the job . He was unsympathetic and Unapologetic that I would now have to wait for the paint to dry and sand it down and repaint it. I have been living in West Salem for over 30 years and never dealt with anyone so unprofessional and condescending. He must be related to the owner because he has no customer service skills and doesn't care that I was upset about our interaction. I was buying more rollers when I went there.

Not able to wait for another can opener to be shipped, I sent a guy to Salem Restaurant Equipment to pick up a new can opener and paid $115 for it. Much to my dismay, my employee returned with the same exact can opener I had paid $40 for on Amazon that didn't work. It did at least open a few cans, although the gear slips constantly and you have to turn the can manually for it to work. I know it's just a can opener, but the fact that they charged almost three times the price for it, coupled with the fact that they would even stock such a terrible piece of equipment has made me decide that I really don't want anything to do with Salem Restaurant Equipment. Oh, and FYI, SRE, if you're reading this, I paid a professional to install it exactly as the instructions said. No excuses.
