Neat and tidy. Well organized and clean but way too expensive. We only go for emergency items.

Way to price gouge your small town residence who have no choice but to go here. They are gouging people who all ready don't have a car, our elderly, or anyone who doesn't have the means to travel and let me tell you places like trader Joe's and yuppy grocerie stores with top quality items are cheaper then this store. They have less quality products at top dollar. Shame on you guys, that's all I have to say about it.

Price gouging and COLD. It is almost December, I am in multiple layers and shivering trying to shop for my groceries. Wasn’t even close to being near the frozen or produce section. Bring the prices down and turn the heat up! Just because you know people like the convenience of shopping in town doesn’t make it right to have your prices the way they are. Shameful for a small town community and I will try my best to not do business here until something changes (looking at you Mike!).

The most expensive store. I went in to pick up a few things 1 head lettuce 1 tomato and 1 cucumber. The price of the green onions scared me so bad $2.99 that I didn’t get them. I bought 1 16 oz bottle of Diet Coke. It came to almost $18.00. If I wasn’t picking the stuff up for a disabled man I would have walked out. I personally will NEVER EVER SHOP AT THAT STORE AGAIN. Feel sorry for the ones that live in Elma and that’s the only store.

So expensive. Seriously 2xs as much as anywhere else. On the plus side, it has something that I will need if I'm in a pinch. The store is clean and the workers are generally friendly

41 dollars for a 12 pack of Charmin ultra soft???!!! That's just one of the many overpriced day to day items there.

Their prices are too high they need to lower their prices to fit the income of us working class people

Highway robbery. They should be ashamed of themselves, honestly. The only good things are that they are nearby and open until 10pm. They do occasionally have less a than absolutely ridiculous price on beef roast and I got a box of apples cheap once.

We need a full size bakery and deli. More selections and lower prices would help tremendously.

The staff is nice but there is not a great selection and prices are extremely high

It's a grocery store with fresh produce. Glad they finally closed the road that looked like it was a bomb testing site.

Omg! The prices are outrageous. The owner of this establishment price gouges, because he can. The good news is, a Grocery Outlet will be coming soon.

How many old-school Elma folks here remember when this store was called Everybody's? 🤚🏼

Wow. Straight up cost 50% more than a normal grocery store on many of the items I looked at.That aside, the place was clean, tidy, and the employee was friendly.They opened earlier than most stores and had what I needed.

poc always follows me around the store, asking if I need help whenever I linger to Long in one spot, but doesn't feel like they're being helpful as much as it feels like they think I'm going to steal something. I guess I have that look.

Very expensive and the owner keeps it freezing cold. Took a thermometer with me. 42 at back of store. 39 at registers. Employees said heat is not allowed on during business hours.During the hottest day in summer it was too cold in thereYou can go a few miles down the road to McCleary or Montesano and pay less.Employees are great.

How in the world do you not have Hot Dogs, Hot Dog Buns, Pies, Beer, Potato/Mac Salads and Watermelon in your Memorial Day Ad for the Week? Montesano Thriftway has it...and More! Can't wait for Grocery Outlet to get here!

Shame on this company. Not only are they the single most expensive grocery store I've ever had to shop at, they just so happen to be the ONLY store in several other towns, besides Elma, where the demographics are mainly those with low income. They should change their name to Theftway because they have a monopoly on the customers they blatantly rob.

We feel so sorry for the people living in Elma, WA having to grocery shop at at this store. They are being taken advantage of. PRICE GOUGING without any concern for their community. The owner is a young man who does not care about the people of Elma and does not even live or work there. Sad sentiments for a small dirty town with a dollar store.

Love this little store. Yes, it's extra pricey, but they have several vegan options that most stores don't have. Plus, they're super friendly here. 😊

Clerk was rude. Probably needs customer service training.

I love the small hometown feel to this store. I wish the prices weren't so high or I would shop here more. Friendly staff though.

Good people work here. Great selection in food choices and ect. Prices are kinda high , guess thats because it's a small town. Great donuts and prepared uncooked packaged fajita mix. So good

First off let me say I just moved here from Olympia. I'm used to the Westside Safeway, I know where everything is located and I have certain things I purchase. We are into organic foods and there is not a lot of selection here. With that said, the store was clean and employees were friendly. Most pricing is higher than what I'm use to however meat was really well priced.

Decent store with decent prices. Make sure you’re getting the actual price of sale items. Thomas doesn’t like to cashier properly and enjoys upsetting customers. Per his words. LolLove the stores overall character! And will continue to stop by for one off purchases! 😁

Thanks for opening time for seniors in AM. Your employees are very courteous and helpful. It's so nice to have a local store we can depend on. We will be shopping locally more than we used to before the virus. Hopefully this virus has taught everyone how important it is to have local merchants. Price is not everything. Now if we just had a local clothing store!

Good for a small store and I understand about the statewide plastic bag ban, but was very disappointed to learn that you now have to bag your own groceries if you bring your own bags. Guess they really want that 8 cents per bag. I understand that our small town store will not have as big of a selection and prices will be higher, but very disappointed with this new policy.
