| - There are two listings here on Yelp. However, if you check Winco's website the address they show is THIS one (Power Rd), not the Hampton address. So I'm putting my review here.
This building used to be Costco. Costco moved about a mile down the road, and Winco moved in. Winco reminds me of Food4Less. Same basic layout, and I don't think Food4Less took credit cards either. Plus you bagged yourself, just like Winco.
The prices here are mostly reasonable. You can do better in a regular grocery if you shop the sales, however. For everyday prices these guys are a little lower, and I think at least some of that is the 5% (approximately) that they save by not accepting credit cards (VISA and those all charge a percentage of every transaction, which stores pass on to us). Factor that in and this place probably isn't any better than Basha's or Fry's, and not as good as Costco.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad store. But I wouldn't make a special trip here unless they had some great sale or coupon (which they did for their grand opening). They are more hype than anything really special.
And, just to emphasize, they DON'T take credit cards. Be aware of this, because they don't have it posted anywhere except at the registers. By then you've already finished your shopping. If it weren't for this I'd probably have granted three stars.
