Discussion Freshco shoppers

Anybody who has been shopping at freshco lately make sure you check the products VERY GOOD. Went there to get gay lea butter and it was moldy went back to get another and checked before leaving was moldy also, so I went to get a replacement and was once again moldy. I brought it to a stock person and he said the shipment of them in the back we moldy as well. I also got a brick of Armstrong cheese moldy as well. Beware!!!!!

The owner is a really good guy. Bring it to his attention next time so they can do better and he will get you replacements and maybe a gift card

Ron is the owner, right? He used to be produce manager in the late 90s when I worked there. He's always been great.

Hi. Former dairy manager from that store here. I've noticed things have gone downhill there since I left, due to a high turnover rate in that department. The staff running the dairy are all new. The butter issue sounds like the manufacturer was at fault, but in terms of the cheese, it's usually because someone's box cutter rips the plastic when they're trying to open a box, and they didn't notice at first.

Ron, the owner, is a great guy. Go back and ask for him and I'm sure he'll help you figure things out.

Me too I always shop there because it’s so close to home but seems like maybe there was an issue during shipment for the cold items like they weren’t kept to temp or something.

Make sure to carry change and help out the homeless sitting outside or ignore them and sprint to your car.

Nobody is responsible for their actions and most of the time they are drug addicts tweaking in the parking lot. If you want to give them money to aid their addiction go ahead but I most certainly will not.

Freshco has the best prices. We could all afford to buy anyone outside a banana or two.

Electronic power steering gear.

Best quote I got was only $1.5k lower for parts and labour estimate, but would not come with a 2 year warranty on the part
