    Update the look already!!!!! Now if  I'm walking back into the wee early 90's or the late 80's why am I paying futuristic prices??? Yes I'm a visual type a person and that's why I'm griping about this :) The staff are all really nice, it's cool you always see the same faces so they must be treated well. The cleanliness is good too. The deli departments my favorite the guys back there are pretty nice and entertaining :) The butcher section is clean and good cuts of meat, I'm always back there asking them to cut my meats in fancy cuts. The  produce section is maintained well. The bank is a hit or miss, I find it if your in line by 10:00am your in and out by 10:03 I don't care if your the 5th person or the first person. Now if you show up by 10:05 forget it minus well of waited till the following morning.

    Not my ideal place to shop since everything in here is super pricey but the environment is great!

    Three stars. Part of me wants to give it less, but it wouldn't be fair because the store is neat, clean, and employees are very friendly.

    I went here today because I hadn't been there in a while and wanted to go somewhere different. I walked in, list in hand, and proceeded to walk down each aisle because I'm unfamiliar with the store layout.

    Once I found all my items, I headed up front to check out. Boy was I surprised! My items which would have come up to about $40 at Walmart or Food4Less came out to $55! I didn't have $55 so I put a bunch of stuff back that I didn't really need right then.

    The cashier didn't bat an eye, just removed those items from my total and gave me a new total.

    So three stars for being friendly and nice, neat and clean, but only three because prices on items I actually buy were way too high. $2.79 for a can of Campbell's Chunky soup that's like $2.25 at Walmart? $6.99 for a half gallon of ice cream that I can find for $2.50 to $3.00 somewhere else? Yes, the loyalty card brought the price down but if I hadn't had one? No way would I have picked up anything here!

    Sorry Albertsons. I like you, but not your prices. :(

    Seems like one of those older Albertsons that is a combined grocery store and pharmacy.  Yes they have a pharmacy department like the newer Albertson's, but they also have aisles full of camping equipment, toys, and miscellaneous stuff.  Basically it looks like someone uprooted a Rite-Aid or something and stuck it aside the normal grocery departments that make up a "normal" Albertson's.

    I just came in for a few things after stopping at Costco and Smart & Final.  The staff was nice and you know how I know this is an older Albertson's?  The contraption that the bagger uses after the cashier scans the item was one of those circular, rotating ones.... who still uses those?????

    Wow. I had no idea how much this store had to offer. Notonly do they have the typical pharmacy, deli, banking inside etc. they also have a frozen yogurt shop and a Chinese food resteraunt inside.
    Unfortunately, besides the cashiers friendliness and the service at the deli and bakery that about accounts for thier assets.
    I don't usually buy cakes from a grocery store but I was in a rush for a Graduation and did so anyway. The clerk seemed totally confused at the simple design and wording and I was told the buttercream was delicious. They must be smoking it cuz there was neither butter nor cream in it. Typical crisco and sugar, and the price was higher than our local baker that uses real butter.
    The deli was full of fresh meats and cheeses, even hot fried chicken and the staff was amazing.
    Then off to the meat counter. I guess you are always bound to run into one zealot that wants to reveal thier life story and that of past employees. After 10 minutes of trying to pretend I had an incoming call I cut my losses and decided to go elsewhere for the pork chops and ground beef I needed.
    I can't say I'll be back to the meat counter and the bakery, maybe if I need an item off the shelf, but the Deli was a plus and overall if you have a card and buy sale items you won't totally break the bank.
