Definitely one of my favorite places to shop for my lean meats and fresh produce. Although my check-ins do not say so, I come in here VERY often as I am(forever) in a bulking phase. *sigh* On to the pros: * The prices are extremely competitive. — I like to juice vegetables and one of my favorite steals there are their 25 lb bag of carrots for only $ 5! Like ohemgee, Vitamin A all day erryday for me. * The store is kept very clean and tidy. * If there’s anything you cannot find, the workers will light the way for you. Great customer service in a grocery??? In Stockton. Whaaaatt… * And finally, the lines are relatively short if you’re smart enough to not shop after 5pm. :) Tiny con: * Parking is sometimes an issue but it doesn’t keep this princess from coming back!

Prices are not bad. Produce is fresh and delicious. Store is clean and organized. layout could use a buffer. Customer service is not bad, could use a daily reminder from upper management. All in all great prices for great products in bulk, lines move fairly quickly and parking is okay.

I’ve been a big fan of Smart & Final for many many years. For the most part I can go in and get my things and out the door I go. There are times when it is busy, but I mostly experience that time during holiday or celebration times. The staff here at this location are always smiling and willing to help. The Store is always clean and tidy. Thanks Smart & Final for the great service all the time.

The slowest cashiers ever!!! Store is clean but hate havin to stop here a simple 5 to 10 min trips easily turns into 25 to 30 because of the slow service.

Prices are always good, store is always clean, parking is convenient, & the lines are never too long. This is my go-to spot to pick up ground turkey, Foster Farms chicken, bulk spices, & produce(although the quality of the veggies/fruit can be hit-or-miss).

I love their prices, products and stock. But they suck at accepting coupons. Show them a coupon and they instantly get confused. So sick of it!

After moving to CA I needed to figure out where I would do my grocery shopping so I ventured to all of the available grocery stores in the Stockton area as I’m not one to drive out of my way. I was disgusted after my 1st visit to this store as there was dust on the canned and packaged foods– ummm… okay… seriously? BUT I gave it another shot after receiving the ad and they had a good sale on eggs– $.99. I liked that I also found apples that were cheap. I’ve since been back several times and I do like this store– haven’t checked for dust b/c I’m sure it’s still there. I just avoid those items and stick to the produce. They have good produce. I wish they gave a credit for bringing your own bags. I also wish people would return their carts to the cart corral.

A good place to do grocery shopping. It certainly beats the new Walmart grocery store. I only shop here if I’m in the area and don’t feel like going all the way to my regular store. Some of the prices are a little higher on items I normally buy. So it’s just a once in a while shopping stop. But a worthwhile stop if you’re in the neighborhood.

I had my first experience with this particular store on July 2nd and I am a little disappointed. I love S & F and have never had an issue before(at different stores), but this time I stocked up on produce, only to find it wasnt as fresh and it should have been. I bought 2 heads of lettuce, a couple containers of strawberries and a container of grape tomatoes. When I got home and started putting it all away, I opened the lettuce to clean and storage pack it and both heads were already turning brown. Both containers of strawberries were already starting to dry up and the tomatoes were already wrinkly as if they had been sitting for awhile. Very disappointing! I will take part of the blame as I should have inspected them better in the store, however I have never had this problem before so there was no reason for me to inspect… until now. I did purchase a watermelon, cucumbers and jicama that were just the way I like them, so its not a total«fail». =)

Smart and Final Extra! has garnered a great deal of attention for its direct(some would say indirect) friendly competition with Costco. They’re doing pretty well IMO without the food court, tire center, and ridiculously long lines for their watered down gasoline. My uncle and I visit frequently because of their weekly sales and good prices on their fruit, but one thing perturbs me about Smart and Final Extra! I went by today and had a small shopping list that included milk, bread, and a few other things. Those few other things included a few health and beauty items every man should have to allow him to snag that sexy female. Their health and beauty section is a damn joke. The selection rivals that of a 7 – 11. One size of mouthwash and an incredibly sad number of deodorant brands. There’s your quick tip.

Man I forgot about this chain with all the safeway and winco trips Ive made :(. I got a huge bag of starbucks coffee for 20 bucks half the price that i woulda paid at starbucks. 35 lbs of laundry detergent for 13 bucks. and there was a lot of other cool deals here. This place is set up more like a grocerey store than a wholesale joint, I like that change. The huge bulk packages are there but not rite in your face. I like that there is a decent produce section 2. I will be back next year when I have to buy more laundry soap.

Awwh, Bubba beat me on 1st to review… congrats my Unilocaly friend! I really like this store. It offers options that you can’t get at my other favorite stores so I make it a once a month, sometimes more must stop. If you need massive quantities of Scott tissue(I confess I’m a closet scottaholic) and some nitrate/nitrite free deli breast of turkey for weekday lunches, maybe throw in some Mexican spices and a 5 lb bag of carrots for juicing… you too may become a fan. Smart and Final has upped their game since they moved from Pacific Ave. The store is bigger, smells fantastic(I notice these things) the aisles are wide and floor is spic n’ span(I think the even sell it) so, although it isn’t one stop shopping(what is?, that would be a perfect world) it’s a good place to add to your grocery and dry goods store shopping repertoire. While you’re there you may want to see what’s on clearance at Tj Maxx two doors down… just saying.

What a great addition to the area. and a great use of a ‘vacant’ store! A great alternative to the larger club warehouse store… when you want to get in and out quickly. The prices are good. They have twice the selection that they had at their old location…
