More than just a grocery store.SPD's connection and involvement with life in Nevada County is evidenced by their continual community support of worthwhile projects that benefit everyone, even if you don't shop there. SPD also hires the handicapped and disabled, which requires extra management attention but they do so gladly because of a commitment to the community. It would be hard for me to justify not shopping there, if I could live locally again. SPD is First Class.

I shop at SPD in Grass Valley off of McKnight Way for their HUGE selection of fresh cut meats! They also have a decent selection of fresh fish ( I get my salmon and clams here).They consistently have the best new York steaks and ribeyes. They also have tomahawk steaks!The store items are a bit pricier than other supermarkets. They do have good deals on wine and beer.They have a full service deli and make great sandwiches along with hot and cold items to choose from.Today they are paving the parking lot so be aware of that (Monday).Most of the employees have been there a long time which indicates they like the environment!This shopping center also has Big 5..new Target..donut shop..pizza..fish and chips..nail salon and more.It's never crowded and its a great stop to get a fresh sandwich for 7.49 ( used to be under 7 bucks but still worth it).Overall it's a nice place to shop!

Great little store. Great service, cheerful employees, good selection, but I've bought expired salad kits that were in the cooler twice already. Check the salad kits you may find brown lettuce.

LOVE this store. I can find items in SPD that I cannot find in other stores. Sometimes I find a variation of a product I normally buy but didn't know existed. Impressive for a local market in a small town.

Nice to be back, times have changed! The market is great, still but the bread was a bit stale we got (Dave's) and the deli meat was really not the best.

I am so over EVERY business in this town closing earlier and earlier. SPD used to stay open until 10:00 pm, then closing time changed to 9:00 pm, which was disappointing, but tolerable. This evening, we ran over to SPD at 8:20 pm because we needed a few things, and the store had closed at 8:00 pm. Come ON! This has gotten absolutely ridiculous! There is a lot of online misinformation stating that SPD is still open until 9:00 pm, which is frustrating. I love the store, but it doesn't do those of us who can be there early in the day any good. I realize that Target just opened, but they have snacks, they are not stocked with decent groceries or a meat counter; not that I would have gone grocery shopping at Target, but you've effectively given your business to them. We hadn't planned to grocery shop at Target on principle, but you've forced us to. This has got to be one of the least sound business decisions you could have made, especially since warmer weather and longer days are imminent. We would have gone to SPD in Nevada City, but BOTH stores are now closing at 8:00 pm. It's so disappointing that SPD, a longtime favorite in this area, can no longer serve the whole community. Everyone says to "shop local," but businesses in this area make it increasingly impossible. Shopping for groceries in this area is already difficult enough. We are regularly forced to hit up at least two different stores to get everything we need. Now we're forced to go to Auburn or Roseville, especially those of us who can't be in your store at the crack of dawn. We hope closing at 8:00 pm is not permanent. You're serving yourselves, not shoppers who have been loyal to you.

I am very impressed with the front cashiers as well as the lower prices, despite inflated prices in virtually all of the stores in the area. There are some excellent local products and produce, which just feels good to buy, as opposed to big business food and sundry products. I have to bitch about the bakery. The workers are so rude. I feel like I cannot ask any question about the products, they frown and give short responses. I feel like they want to yell at me and they have responded to me with outright disdain. Blah. Despite this, I may give them another try to support local businesses and a more sustainable food supply. The cashiers are really friendly, which makes a huge difference!!

Do you deliver? I love your store, but no longer drive or carry packages. I really miss shopping at SPD! HELP!

We ordered deli sandwiches and the counter woman was rude and very unhelpful. The sandwiches were mediocre at best and the bread was awful. Save your money and make a sandwich at home .

I love the butcher counter, the deli and the produce dept. The veggies are some of the freshest in town. If you need a sandwich, this is the place to go! Under $7 for this bad boy. Yum yum!

Deli was terrible experience! We ordered several platers of sandwiches for a Memorial reception. Sandwiches were ordered on croissants. When we went to pick up the sandwiches were NOT ready! We were told to come back in an hour (The exact time that the Memorial Service began) When we returned the sandwiches were on regular buns..no applogy other than we are short staffed! This was an.order that was placed weeks in advance! So how is this my problem I thought?? Anyways food was late tasted sub par! We will NEVER use the deli for event food Ever again! Way to F. Things up SPD!

Price and quality: They have a really nice produce section, and the prices and freshness are better then the local "chain" super markets. The meat counter is awesome. The general selection also pretty good given a store this size. Having a small USPS PO in the store is super handy, too. After reading some of the previously posted negative reviews I just want to say... I've been shopping at SPD at McKight for many years now. During that time I've only noticed a negative attitude a couple times - but, hey, we're all human and everyone has off days but, that being said, I've never experienced anything abusive or over-the-top. That being said, I've worked with the general public back-in-the-day, and there is nothing more challenging then dealing with each other as neither a good mood or clear communications are guaranteed. So, my heart goes out to the the SPD staff and management for what they must deal with on a regular basis. Please consider our current situation with the pandemic: these folks have stayed on the job and will even bring your food order out to the car to you if needed. That shows concern from both management and staff. As far as I'm concerned they have a customer for life and I applaud their silent courage and friendliness in the face of life threatening adversity. Good on you, SPD.

My wife and I have made our last trip to SPD until we're vaccinated. Sick and tired of the real suckers and losers - including those on staff - who refuse to wear a mask and other staff who have a blasé attitude about it. There's little signage to get people to stop and think before they enter the store unlike the Big 5 that sells guns and ammo right next door. Hope someone gets traced to community spread there and they get sued. Raley's for us for awhile...
