Grocery Stores in Palmer, AK

“It is a good thing they had a steady flow of customers otherwise I might have spent well more on produce. I’ll admit, I am unable to pass up a Farmer’s Market and this permanent stand in Palmer is a don’t miss stop. They sell fresh eggs, every type of Alaskan grown produce available (including Pam’s Carrots) and they have local honey! I knew I overbought when I got home and had to start cooking in order to make room for everything. They also had strawberry-rhubarb lemonade and Alaska Chip Company potato chips...neither of which I had hands left to carry...but I would wager it would be worth a stop for those alone. I did manage to grab some Dahlias...hard to resist. Additionally, they had a nice selection of apparel that they sell to benefit the Alaska Farmland Trust. I especially love that they accept WIC, nobody should be denied fresh foods. Stop out there or give them a call for more information about the upcoming Harvest Fest (or scroll my photos to see the poster). Support local!

I know there has been a note listed on Google Maps by the owner that says they are on an appointment only schedule. That was during the winter…summer hours are in full swing…10am-5pm Wednesday through Sunday.

Update winter 2024: Very excited that they have expanded hours and are open regularly during the winter. Please be sure to call for hours, or check the hours posted by the owner.

Update July 2024: Great looking tomato plants available at really reasonable prices for those who didn’t get around to starting their own this past spring.”

“I get OHM brand cigarettes here because the 2.50$ it cost per pack translates to a 25.00$ carton. I am always stocked and never run out!!The other services that they offer are competitive in price, selection, and staffing that care about the customer and the business...I did notice that they are always hiring for all the locations Trunk, Knik, and Pittman.”

“Nice lil store. Adult beverages, Ice cream, clean showers and bathrooms. Laundry facilities as well. Fuel prices tend to run about a nickel cheaper than Wasilla.”

“Living outside of Anchorage, I find myself making monthly trips there doing the bulk of my shopping at Costco. And while Three Bears obviously carries many Costco items, they are often the same price or a small markup. Their sales can be really good, and they have a large variety of things you can not find at Fred's or Carrs.
The milk they carry is the best I've ever had outside the farm! Definitely check out their freezer section for seafood deals. And they regularly discount new firearms for less than sticker price.”

“I really like going to this 3 bears car wash. It's a bit pricey, but they hand wash your car / truck / suv prior to actually going into the main car wash. And the energetic staff does a superb job. Bottom line is you get what you pay for and your getting a pretty good value by the time your vehicle done and dried off. Staff is very friendly and really strives to do a good job. Keep up the good work!”

“I want to give a shout out to Laura Baker for her outstanding, AMAZING, customer service she provided for me today!! I've been searching for a particular product for quite sometime, she was able to locate it for me and when she saw it was at another store she went and got it!! Seriously made my entire day AMAZING!! Thank you so much Laura for your help!! You really made me feel special and I will continue to be a customer because of you!! Thank you!”

“I love this store-- I manage a home nearby. To people who live around it, it's like a pantry. It's a little bit more expensive than Fred Meyer, but it doesn't have the same level of traffic which makes it more convenient and I don't mind spending a little bit of extra money here.

One thing - - the meat deals are decent but it drives me crazy when I go through the checkout and for whatever reason the cashiers do not like to remove the 30% off tags from the packages. It takes all of 2 seconds to take them off the packages. I keep wanting to get up the nerve to tell them that I need them taken off but it's embarrassing because I feel like I'm giving them something extra to do. I take the food over to the family's house and the lady of the house is looking at the receipt twice or thrice to make sure that I got a few dollars off. I bought some meat today and I watched the cashier do her thing to give me the discount and she just won't remove the tags! At the end she told me that she got them-- but it turns into a bit of a hassle on my end.

I could remove these myself but It's a hassle to deal with after I get them out to the car. It's just a hassle to take that my stuff out of the bags and remove the stickers when it could just be done in the checkout line by the cashiers. Of course I had a cashier tell me that I couldn't take them off myself and showed them to her before I went through the line.

I like all the people who work here, everyone is friendly, and even the customers are pretty nice.”

“This is the best pharmacy I've worked with in any state. They answer the phone every time I call, without having to be put on hold. They verify the medication is available. And every time I visit the prescription is ready for pick. They are friendly in person and on the phone. I love this pharmacy.”

“I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the rudeness of a technician named Emily. I don't know the woman, but she's rude to me every time I have to deal with her. One time, I asked for a bag, and she threw it at me and walked away. Other than her, they are great. She needs to either learn how to act professional regardless of her feelings. or stop working with the public. because there is no excuse for her behavior!”

“A year or so since last review. U to keep running perfectly. Still, it doesn't change the fact that having even 1 checklane out of order is gonna cause longer lines”
