First time Ive shopped there for 2 weeks worth of groceries. Shelves were neatly stocked, isles clear and easy to navigate, lots of choices and plenty of parking. The whole store was clean and well staffed. I told them, Ill be shopping there regularly from now on.

Its the place to go if you dont want to carry your groceries to your car yourself, or want to relive a 1970s grocery shopping experience. Older Iowans sure seem to love this chain. An unique demographic of customer.

Love Fareway, as they will often have more variety of some products than Hi-Vee and their meat counter is wonderful. People are so friendly and sackers will load your groceries in your car. I do purchase from both Fareway and Hi-Vee because I can find some items at one store that I cant find at the other. Both have their positives...

This is a decent grocery store. Its clean and has good clearance deals. The selection is decent, but dont expect to find exotics or many specialty items here. No on site bakery. Most of the meat is behind the older style butcher counter, where they wait on you. Its well staffed, so very little wait time at the meat counter. Be careful with the apples here. They order too many at a time or something, so you get older apples than youd like. The store does not let you push your own grocery cart out to your car. The bagger does it and helps you load groceries. You dont tip them. Its a little awkward when the bagger is elderly and youre not. Overall I like the place and go weekly.

I love Fareway! They have everything thing I need without overwhelming me with unnecessary selections. Thier meats are fresh as are thier produce. The staff is kind and courteous. Plus the store is kept clean. Fareway brand products are as good or better than some name brands. So, whats not to love? Nothing!

The best grocery store ever! Their meat counter is wonderful and the only place I will buy meat. Everyone in the aisles working asks if they can help. The best part? They unload the groceries from your cart which is phenomenal, and someone pushes them out to your car and loads them! They are always friendly as well, whether it is 100 degrees or -20. Very pleasant place. They are also much cheaper than other stores in the area.

Picked up a basket and went to produce for asparagus to round out dinner. Went by day old shelf and found bkfast for rest of the week. Found milk I needed, zipped past ice cream to avoid looking, slowed down for the line and tossed in an off season pack of tic tacs., Before being saved by the cheerful checker. Using the basket I did cut down on my off list items, but already know I am back tomorrow.

My dad bought a 12 pack of pop. Kept it in the garage for about a month. Opened it took a drink...tasted like it was property of king tut. Check the Exp date and it expired 8 months ago. Brought it back, Dwayne mngr told me no I can’t take it back without a receipt. So, basically, they don’t check their products and then call you a liar when you want an exchange. As if Dwayne is stopping a huge pop exchange swindle ring. Family has shopped there for like 20 years. That service sucks!! Do your job Dwayne!!

I love Fareway but last timme I was there you usually match HyVee sales but you didnt Friday and that is mostly why I went Friday for 7up products 7 for $10.00. You not only didnt match ad you didnt have any I needed on the shelves. Usually I dont have a problem but lately sales things arent on shelfs. I have to go and ask for some.

This is the ONLY Fareway Ive been to in all the states Ive traveled that has been absolutely disgusting. How can this be?! Is this the only store that is not overseen by management and owners? The 4 times Ive been there, always in the evening, the produce is rotting on the shelves, there were literally 2 cartons of eggs left, all but 1 choice of burger was left and the rest of the meat looked purple and dry, and the cashiers were chatting with the guys bagging to the point they ignored the customer they were ringing up. HORRIBLE! I am always near by but will gladly spend my money at Walmart or Target or Hy Vee . What a shame that Fareway is allowing this store to ruin their famed name.

I have a bad back and park in handicap parking. The woman that checked me out, sacked my groceries in 3 bags that were quite heavy and as I picked them up another customer was behind me, the checkout, asked me if I wanted her to help to the car, however; she started helping the person behind me, so I was guessing that she didnt really want to help me to the car?
