Albertsons

We came here a few times to pick up some items while vacationing. This location was very close to the hotel we were staying at.
For vacationers, the store had everything we needed; including a gift bag and tissue paper. Prices seemed reasonable and the staff was friendly. There was plenty of of street parking out front. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Went here to pick up some drinks and food.
Hardly anyone was in the store. This store has quite a selection. It’s not as big as other Albertson’s but this is the only location in Coronado.
This location has a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. So much to chose from.
There was a lady handing out the Monopoly game and their flyer. To play the game, you collect pieces from the cashier once you purchase your items. If you get all the pieces, you either win cash or prizes.
Just check your receipt, they do charge tax for food items other than the additional crv on bottled drinks. It adds up.
Other than that, great place to shop in the evening without the hassle of crowds.
There’s also a private parking lot in front of the store with plenty of parking spaces.

Cleanest grocery store in Coronado. There are a few other grocery stores here, but have witnessed rotten veggies and fruits in both. Albertsons is different, with fresh produce and a big selection too.
The staff here is great, and it is easy to get to. Lots of parking, and close to the Ferry Landing.
Awesome new fresh sushi is made in the deli daily too– by an outside company. It is great.

They usually only have 1 – 2 registers open at any given time. I would give 4 stars if I didn’t have to wait in line 5+ mins every time I go there.

I shop this Albertsons whenever I can. The prices are lower here than at Coronado’s other grocery store options and its customer service is by far the best of any grocery store I’ve routinely visited. I’ve had an employee run outside to grab me a cart when my arms started getting too full; I had a bagger offer to swap out a pumpkin with a bad spot for a better one; I’ve had a stocker bring an item that I’d been having a hard time finding to me as I was checking out. There are numerous other instances when the service here has been above and beyond.
I’ve never worked at a grocery store, so I don’t know ANYTHING about how things work behind the scenes. But one thing that sticks out to me is that I recognize most of the people who work here. It seems like they have real adults, who work full time (?) and are long term employees of the place. I’ve never recognized the employees of my other neighborhood grocery stores… so there must’ve been high turnover. Not at this Albertsons. They employees seem invested and this shows up on the customer service side.
I take one star off because the building and façade are quite outdated. But mostly because there seems to be no method to the madness of the organization of the store. I find myself running all over the place trying to gather my groceries instead of naturally being drawn from one end to the other. Otherwise, I love it!

«I live in the same street where this store is located. I just went there today after work to get my dinner. Stayed in the cashier line like everyone else. When my turn came up, the person behind me in the line was told to go up front to be make his purchase payment. I was so furious that I ended up leaving without making my purchase because of this cashier. I left in a hurry for I am just so mad. Once I got home, I was still so mad with my experience with the cashier. I end up calling the store and asked for the manager. I was told that the manager was not there. I spoke with the assistant manager and told him my experience and ask if I can come down to the store and speak face to face with the cashier who has preferential treatment to customers. He said no need, that he will look into it. I am waiting fir his call back on why this stores cashier have preference on who they serve first. I will complete this review once the assistant manager gets back with me.». Larry, the assistant manager called me and ask me to get the food that I was about to purchase. He offered me more but I declined. He at least tried to easen what had happened. He told me that their video is stuck but he will review it tomorrow. The funny part is when I got into the store, the subject cashier and her other fellow female cashier were looking just straight to my eyes. I guess I was doing them injustice and the bad guy for telling Larry on what had happened.. Larry as a boss at least did his job and look into what had happened. I respect the guy.

This is a typical Albertsons. Things seem to be organized and clean.

We arrived on the ferry and were told by locals to visit Hotel Del and the beautiful surf on the other side of Coronado island. Albertson’s came in handy. We left our hotel early that morning to get coffee and decided to head out. We forgot to bring hats, water, and sunscreen. If you need a ball cap for the sun, or any other supplies they have them here. It’s tucked into the neighborhood but on the way to get to the hotel. We popped in and popped out ready to roll. It was a gorgeously sunny day out there on Coronado Island.

Great store, very helpful employees. Last week I went to the butcher asking for a particular cut of pork roast. I spoke to Daniel and Caroline. Both were very nice, and helpful. I explained to Caroline what I needed and her immediate response was «no problem whatsoever!» I needed a certain size and cut of pork roast, and I needed the bone cut away, then tied for roasting. They did not what I needed but said they would save one for me the next day when the shipment came in. Sure enough, the next day when i came in it was there. The most impressive thing was that although Caroline was not at the store, when I went into the store and mentioned what I needed the other butcher knew exactly why I was there and immediately went in back and got my roast. They even put a pop up meat thermometer in it for me! How cool was that.
It is a small store, but given the size of the community that is understandable. The employees still do their best to accommodate!

This is a great grocery store. Friendly staff and Coronado only merchandise make this our go to store.
The store made tortilla chips and guacamole or worth a visit alone.
Be advised that you may be approached by girl scouts, religious groups and military associations looking for handouts as you come and go and know now that this place does not provide hot coffee in the morning.
All in all it’s a great local grocery store.

Very conveient to our home. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly.

This is the closest chain store supermarket from Naval Base Coronado.
PROS:
–Plenty of parking
–Hardly busy during lunchtime
–Great fresh salad/​soup bar — always stocked
–A great one stop shop for everyday grocery store items
CONS:
–People can’t seem to drive and/​or park. I make sure to keep my distance. Doh !
–Old fogies (btw I really do like old people) that I see here seem to get irritated by non-​locals. Why I wonder? =(
–No self-​checkouts (I love those btw) — Apparently, they are not large enough according to the cashier.
–Staff isn’t the friendliest or happiest it seems although that may be a hit or miss.
–One of the smallest Albertsons therefore not a lot of variety and selection
Overall, meh. Not bad, not great.

Coronado has a total of three locations to shop for groceries and for me this is the location you will find me at because of the convenience of the location to my home.
The lines during rush hours are killer but I mainly go here for their roasted whole chicken and some of their affordable seafood selections.
The employees at this location need to smile a lot more and look less unfriendly. I have been shopping here for three years and have found that each employee seems to have a disgruntle stain on their face. For the dollar bills you spend at this location I think service can be a little better.
I only encounter quality costumer service with the assistant mangers or mangers to be the most helpful, inherent with the title.
The store is a bit small but very compact with merchandise and different array goodies.
Produce and meat selection at this location is very experience.
To tell you the truth I come here for the Red-​Box and Ice now I look back at it…

Coronado has its different locations for grocery shopping, but not many. The Albertson’s over here is slightly off the beaten path but pretty close to the bridge. It’s not the largest grocery store, but it definitely packs a punch for what is has to offer. They provide their customers with quality products in a compact way that catches your attention and intrigues you to buy.
They keep the store really clean, the seafood area offers a wide array of fish and crawfish at probably the best pricing I have seen across the city. The staff here is very welcoming and accommodating and have a great knowledge of what they have on hand. Their wine area is also great and they have several different people that can help you with whatever type of style you seek out.
They have a private lot that they share with another business building and there is usually plenty of parking opportunities.

The best general grocery story in the Imperial Beach or Coronado area. Great prices; clean and organized; helpful and friendly employees; great wine and liquor selection.
The Coronado Albertsons makes grocery shopping not totally suck!

Slow Express Checkout.

Decent location and good customer service. Everything was organized fairly well and I had no problems finding the items I needed.
They actually had a pretty good selection of vodka and wine so it was a great place to stop by for getting good drinks.

This location is kind of out of the way for those who aren’t in Coronado, but it’s worth the trip. Need a landmark to find it? Think KenTacoHut.
Like the other review said, the customer service here is top notch. My cashier was awesome and made me want to donate instead of lying about already doing so. Don’t deny it, Unilocalers. You know who you are.
Also, this location in particular has some interesting items that I’ve never seen at others. I’m talking about deep-​fried catfish nuggets, chicken livers, and gizzards, in addition to your standard fried chicken and potato wedge picnic fare at the deli counter.

This Albertsons is smaller than others, and still it takes care of all my generic grocery needs.
What I love about this branch, is the customer service. Every employee is very friendly and they always go out of their way for you. Gene is the General Manager and he is so nice and helpful. He is leading by example, I suppose.
Hi Gene!
This Albertsons has good specials pretty often and I find myself there more than I would like to admit.
