Having recently moved from the midwest where a number of independent grocers still rain supreme, we continue to love Wray's. The prices are a touch higher than Walmart, but supporting IGA is boss in our opinion! The produce here is always excellent, the meat counter is a delight and they have an amazing wine and beer selection that runs the gamut from low end, I just need alcohol for a housewarming gift type stuff, to much higher end, I need a housewarming gift for someone I like type action! The cheese selection is solid and it looks as if they're continuing to expand the specialty cheeses and meats. Key knowledge - They have Amish Butter! If you've not tried it....it's so good! I figured it wasn't any different either, but know that it is! Everyone here is always exceptionally friendly and goes out of their way to help customers. It's not uncommon for them to taking bags out to the car of a pregnant woman or elderly couple. Keep up the great work! read more

I've found a lot of good bulk products but their bakery side looked a little disappointing.

Just a great place to shop. Staff are always helpful and friendly (can't buy a couple of people's comments-'icy cold' if not a regular?? Come on, somebody's got a fragile ego!). Prices can be a bit higher, but Chris dropped the Thriftway connection to try to stay close to the big box groceries, and we've found the quality superior overall compared to competitors. Have shopped there 40 yrs (my wife mostly) and we keep coming back because they treat you right-even readily take back the very few things that weren't up to par in the many years of shopping. Best: it's fully local-all your money is used in our community. No other full service grocery around Yakima can say that! read more

I wrote them an email over 2 months ago about my concerns and NEVER heard back from them. Wray's is the closest grocery store to my home and will never go there again. Along with being super expensive, here are just a few reasons not to go there: -I bought some frozen edamame for dinner, got home, opened the bag, only to find that it was completely freezerburnt (see picture). I mean, it was so bad that it had turned white. I had also bought some ice cream that had the same issue, just not as severe. -During stone fruit season the produce section was swarming with gnats. I understand a few but the plums (and surrounding area) were completely covered in them. Disgusting. -There is a sign that says "Fresh Baked Bread". Yay, who doesn't love freshly baked bread, right?! WRONG! It wasn't only not fresh, it was old and hard. When I asked the bakery employee about it she responded by telling me that they don't even make it there and she had no idea when it had been made. Sorry, Wray's, your supermarket sucks and, other than being a locally owned business, I have no idea why people continue to patronize you. read more

Wray's Marketfresh IGA - Here's the freezerburnt edamame. - Grocery Near Me - Yakima, Washington

Check the expiration dates on anything you buy here. It's common to pick up something and see that it's expired. The prices on beer, wine, canned and boxed items is also higher than the Safeway across the street. What I buy here is meat and occasionally fresh produce when asparagus is in season. It's cheap and you don't have to drive out to a stand on Hwy 12. I stop in here when I need something last minute because it's not busy. read more

I wish you could review the various departments separately. I support Wray's because they are the last family owned grocery store left in Yakima. I drive across town to do 99% of my grocery shopping at the 56th location, even though I'm 2 blocks from a Safeway store. My love for them started 20 years ago when i walked into the store and Wally (retired long time employee) looked at me when i walked in the store "Hey Todd, good to see you" after meeting Wally once prior the week before. They have a 5-Star group of checkout employees and support staff!! That said, the employees and management of their pharmacy is terrible, horrible, and quiet honestly unacceptable. They do not understand good customer service at all. Had multiple issues and finally now it pains me to move to another pharmacy because of the convince of 'one stop shopping'. The attitude in the pharmacy is THEY are doing me a favor! I truly wish this was a 5 star review read more

You'd think with high prices they'd at least have a clean, modern store but nope. Service was not at all friendly to me but it appeared that the regulars all received excellent service. Be careful of "Bob, not Bob." (being super friendly to someone you know or a beloved regular and then being icy cold to the next customer. Bad bad bad) It kills your customer satisfaction rating. Only two stars because the regs loved it, but I will not return! read more

4 because like the other Wray's on 72nd, some of the prices for regular groceries are quite expensive compared to Winco, Walmart, etc. Check their ads every week for coupons because they will save you money. But I give them props for their AMAZING wine and beer selection. This place has much more beer to choose from than the Meadowbrook location. I mean, come on - pFriem Fruit Lambics?! With the cork and everything? Yup, they've got them. Fremont Bourbon B-Bomb? Yes! Founders breakfast stouts? Quite pricey, but yes. They even have IPAs and pales that other places in town do NOT carry. And that includes The Beer Shoppe, too. They have wine from all over the country and international as well. Some wines I cannot find at Safeway or Rosauers, can be found at this Wray's location. I also like their working bakery with bread machines - 72nd does not have a bakery whatsoever. I would rather drive a mile and a half to this Wray's than drive a couple blocks to my local Wray's... read more

Great customer service all around! Wray's has it all.. A good wine and beer selection, a place to renew your license tabs, USPS, beautiful produce section, fresh baked goods, etc. The store is always clean and the employees seem happy to be there. Support local business! read more

Pluses: This store has the best wine department of any of the grocery stores in Yakima (including being much better than the other Wrays). The buyer truly has good taste in local and international wines. They also carry local produce. They always ask if I want paper instead of plastic. They are friendly enough and helpful to me. Negative: The one big negative is that they don't have much organic produce. read more

I give it 2 stars because I do love the store! But the customer service here is horrendous. One cashier in particular is extremely rude, and she seems to be the only cashier there every time I visit. I will not be returning until Nancy can be a better cashier. I have talked to management before and they seemed to have brushed it off. I called again, hoping to make an impact, but I highly doubt it. Not the type of service I want at my grocery store. read more

Staff is friendly, no doubt, but I can't seem to get over the thought that maybe they let their meats and milk stay a little longer than usual. Sometimes the chicken stinks and the milk I bought the other day with a $1.99 sticker on it tasted as if it had been stored next to something it shouldn't have been. I find myself deferring to Walmart to buy meats, thought I hate the traffic. read more

Wray's is the best locally owned grocery store in Yakima! The staff is friendly, helpful and they are happy to fulfill any special requests for products. I love knowing not only is this company a great place to shop, but by shopping there I am supporting our local economy. read more

When you are a regular as I was years ago, what I remembered was the cashiers remembered your name and some even asked about your family. I went in the other day to buy just a couple of things and even though I don't shop there like I used to I was so pleased that the employees were still friendly. Listening to the cashier talk to a patron as if they were old friends. Chris Brown I hope you continue the legacy that your dad started. read more

Great service, friendly people!! They have always filled prescriptions quickly and correctly!! Knowledgable about the drugs you are going to take, very helpful with insurance questions and problems!! read more
