Bi-Mart

The people at BiMart are always helpful. I find almost everything I need at very competitive prices. It is always my first stop when looking for something. They always exceed my expectations.

I just bought a Henry Golden boy .17hmr from the sporting goods folk at this bi-​mart, this staff is a true pleasure. They worked fast, took care of my needs and several others while I was waiting on the background check. Very up to date on regulations and inventory. I will be back for anything they carry.

For a mere $ 5 one time fee and a piece of photo ID, you can become a lifetime member of Bi-​Mart. We joined maybe a dozen years ago and we’ve been in the local store maybe only three dozen times since then. (There are about 70 stores scattered around the Northwest.)
When we do go look for something at this 100% employee owned, deep discount store, we typically come away with what we were looking for and feeling pretty good about the experience. Good prices. Easy to navigate store layout. Helpful people on staff to point you in the right direction. A well maintained and managed place.
We’ve bought things like glass food storage containers. Perennial garden plants. Plastic table and chairs to use at a construction site for a contractor friend. A heavy duty snow shovel. Individually wrapped red licorice ropes to hand out at Halloween. A metal watering can. Athletic socks. Craft paper and glitter for projects for wee little visiting relatives to create works of art.
You get the idea.
We only scratch the surface of what Bi-​Mart has available. There are (processed) food products of all kinds. Greeting cards. Wrapping paper. Cosmetics. Hardware supplies. Home décor, including seasonal items for holidays. Housewares. An optometry. A pharmacy.
Sort of like Costco’s much smaller cousin in a more «rustic» set up. Much, much more rustic. And before Costco hit town, this was the place locals used for discount membership store shopping.
So for reasons of longevity and good management at this store, I’ll lean to a four star review, even though one might say this is a three star infrastructure place.
Founded in 1955, Bi-​Mart has a good amount of experience in doing the deep discount thing in the Northwest. They wouldn’t be around that long in the face of so much competition since unless they were doing something right.
Sometimes it’s a pretty good place to check out for this or that.
But first you’ll need to come up with the five bucks for your lifetime membership.
