Most of the negative reviews are inaccurate and even racist. I've shopped here since August 2012 and always found the store to be excellent. The employees are helpful in all departments, they have all products I need, the store is clean.
I've never seen loitering in front of, or around, the store. The main entrance, near CVS, is now free of an entrance gate. There is a small Wells Fargo bank and US PO at this entrance.
During the past month things were hectic for shoppers because the shelves were all reorganized and it was hard to get around and find things. By the time you read this they should be done. I guess it was done because Albertson's finished a merger with another supermarket chain.
My personal negative opinions are confined to the fish/meat department because of finding meat not tender enough for me.
Another problem is can be too few checkout employees. Not too often, but once in awhile.
I live very close by so its nice to just drive over in five minutes to find an entire shopping center with almost all my daily requirements. Unfortunately, the shopping center owners have done little or nothing to improve its appearance. For an affluent area, this is strange and unusual to see.
