Department Stores in Tacoma, WA

“Add it to the list all you discount shoppers. This is by far my favorite Big Lots deep discounts and lots of selections and not very busy. It must be the part of town it is in, the management or something, but this place does not disappoint. Good luck barging shopping!”

“Got some really great deals right now and coupons that saved us a ton. Today the starbucks super busy so many people, long lines but still very fast and efficient”

“I love going to places like Daiso because there's always some tiny tchochke, whether its for the kitchen or electronics or stationary at a small price. Sis had us drive out to check this place out and it was dope. SO MANY kitchen items, bedding items, cool hats, beauty products. Is it all made in China? Probably, but it was nice to have so walk down the aisles discovering new things. This is the place I would go to if I need to supply an Asian restaurant. They have cool plates, utensils, sake sets, etc that are priced to purchase in bulk but are just as good for home purchase. They have crazy large industiral sized rice cookers which I would have killed for when my fammily used to throw parties. The only thing that loses them a star is all the staff that follows you around to make sure you don't pickpocket. I totally get it and with the way people are during these times, it's understandable, but half the time I had to walk around making sure they saw my hands were in my pocket so they knew I was stealing. I hate that the world is like that now and I don't want to hold it against them, but it definitely made me feel watched and I hate that.”

“I hadn't visited Kohl's in the Seattle area before, but I went to this store for a return. It was well-organized, with excellent customer service. They seem to have a decent collection. I'm likely to return for shopping sometime. There's ample free parking. I highly recommend this store!”

“I am new to shopping at Macy's. I went in to buy a knife, but ended up in the intimate section. I had great help picking out some new bras. I hate to shop and I wanted a fast experience. The lady I got was so nice and helpful. Great job Macy's associates!”

“You can find decent prices on name brand apparel and home goods (furniture/bedding/clothes/accessories).Just double-check the item for issues/factory defects before purchase. At times, these stores are able to get discounted items because 1 item may have had a mark come back from quality control for a blemish, extra stitching somewhere, etc. It may only be one or two items out of an entire batch (or nothing at all and due to prior version/style), so the brand/originator will sell the batch at a wholesale. Equals fair to great deals for all.”

“Went in this evening to return a few items that I bought online. I didn't catch her name but thank you to the young lady who processed the return at the jewelry section. I also want to thank Rebecca for coming over from her section to help Amani while she was taking care of another customer. Excellent customer service from everyone. Love my Jo Malone and Chanel cologne..”

“For the most part it was an actually a good experience. I got what I was looking for at the price that they said I live by the one over in Tacoma and it just ain't even close to that one. That one was a lot better store”

“It was super busy, the line was long. One of my items, which was a clearance item, wouldn't scan. Upc was not found. Despite the people in line behind me complaining, my checker was amazing. He kept in good spirits, made jokes, and apologized to the line behind me numerous times. All with a smile on his face. I can't quite remember his name, it was unique, close to Travis. He was great, reminded me a lot of my husband, only 20 years younger. Thank you ?”

“Do 99.9 percent of shipping here good meat market and meat sales,and get your gas pts and I have saved up to a dollar off each gallon of gas lots of times ,shop there ,to receive gas pts then buying gas don't hurt so bad”

“it's a very good store for many things that you might find hard to not buy. Everything I've bought here so far, has a lower price, then many many other stores, and with it being so close to my house. It is my new place to shop. Good service, friendly people great place.”

“Antoinette in your "site to store pick up" team is amazing and works hard! She is so helpful, please promote her. :) Also - love your prices, Walmart! - Signed, a happy customer”

“Hold your grocery lists and brace yourselves, because the Fredmayer in Tacoma is a rollercoaster of shopping shenanigans! Now, imagine a day so packed, it felt like a canned soup convention gone wild. Shoppers jockeying for cereal like it was the last box on Earth, carts engaging in epic bumper car battles – a grocery store battleground that tested even the most patient souls.Yet, in a twist stranger than fiction, the very next day, the store resembled a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie. Shelves bereft of produce, echoing aisles, and lonely shopping carts – as if the grocery gods decided to hit pause on the supermarket saga. A retail riddle that left shoppers both perplexed and produce-less.Enter the Checkstand Champion – a cashier so swift, items seemed to teleport from cart to bag in record time. Shoppers marveled, yet secretly fumed, realizing their carefully planned smartphone distractions were obsolete in the face of such checkout velocity.Adding to the spectacle, the Free Sample Fanatic, a person with a knack for transforming the aisles into a culinary carnival, treating each sample station like a personal buffet. A shopping journey through Fredmayer, where crowds clash, the store transforms overnight, checkouts become racecourses, and free samples turn into a gourmet sideshow. Enter at your own risk, and remember – the grocery aisle isn't for the faint of heart!”

“I have been shopping here for my furniture for years. I've bought two mattresses, rugs and a sectional from this location over the past 7 years. Every purchase, I had a very good experience. Their sales reps are not pushy and have good energy. About a year ago I was mattress shopping and they were having a great sale on a mattress I've had my eye on and shopped around for. I decided to get it from Macy's and they wanted to sell me the expensive mattress protector. Jokingly I said prove it to me it works and I'll buy it. The sales reps took me to their break room, took someone's bottle of root beer and poured it over a mattress sample with the protector. The whole situation was so funny that I couldn't help but buy the overpriced mattress protector. I mean, a bottle of root beer was sacrificed for this sale. In November of 2023 I had been searching for a new sectional. I went into Ashley furniture and was hounded by sales reps. I had to swat people off as I just wanted personal space to browse. I went to Mor furniture which also sent reps chasing me for a sale. Lazy boy furniture was similar. Macys was different. I let them know I was searching for a sectional and I wanted to take a look around. The sales reps told me where they would be if I needed assistance and I was not interrupted once. It was refreshing! I ended up finding a sectional I loved and made the purchase. 4 days later the sectional was delivered to my house. The setup was quick and easy by the install team. They were on time, called me when they were 15 minutes out, didn't wear their shoes in the house, tested all the power seats to make sure that they worked and took all garbage with them. Overall, I've always had a good buying experience at this location. Their deliveries are on time, and there's constant notifications so you don't forget when they are going to be there.”

“I have always shopped at Ross. This is the first time I've been there in quite a while and I was shocked at the extra security at the front door. It's sad that shoplifting has gotten so bad, that you have to wait to enter and theft prevention is following everyone around the store( I mean everyone).The shelves are only half full, but there's still good deals. I went there for shoes and of course had to buy more cause the deals are great. It was slightly crowded, but the staff were friendly and the store was clean.”

“I was so impressed by a young lady that corporate ought to promote her to teach how to manage people and clients at all levels with dignity and respect. Never missing a beat, she worked tirelessly to provide excellent customer service to everyone. Ms, Shanice Green in Woman's Shoes in the Tacoma Macy's is a true treasure. Everyone that gets a chance to know this young lady will be a stronger person in themselves and know their own truth. I wish her the best this life has to offer and would strongly suggest that Macy's take a look at the talent they have in their ranks. I look forward to coming back. I hope in the future Macy's get's more inventory in general.”

“Despite being misgendered at one point by one of the pharmacists, they were very helpful in getting me my meds when I needed them despite another different location refilling them a week after I had requested the prescription be moved to another store. The pharmacists were willing to get me what I needed despite my anger at the time, and were fairly nice about it.”

“I always find what u am looking for at Fred Meyers. The store has such a wide variety of just about anything I need. The staff is always courteous and very helpful. I will always shop Freddie's over any other department stores.”

“I usually do my shopping on the app because I don't do well in crowds, but I was pleasantly surprised when it was not too busy, or didn't seem that way anyway. I recall going a few times in the past year or so and internally groaning because there were massive lines and two cashiers, begging the joke, "When did this turn into Walmart?" I'm glad that wasn't what my recent experience was like, which means the store was finally able to hire more people again, hopefully by making improvements to the employee experience so it lasts a while ;).I am glad to see that things are mostly in stock again also as this seemed to be an issue for a while. Maybe my timing was just off, but there were a number of visits to Target where I saw a lot of empty shelves and this time it was mostly stocked except the store brand of water bottles, so that's another win :).By the time we got done we had a cart full of groceries, but our checker was friendly and engaging, which is not that common anymore it seems, but a welcome change versus me making an awkward dad joke because I'm a mom ;).Another employee jumped in line right behind us, and she clearly had her lunch in her hands that she still needed to purchase. It baffled me that she even chose this line because we had so much stuff, but it was even more baffling when she stood there for a while before making a not nice face and stomping off to the checkout next to us as our cashier loudly said, "Sorry!" while seeming amused.I liked our cashier. She was cool and clearly nothing was going to alter her happy disposition, which is awesome. I hope that whatever was really bugging the other girl is something she can figure out and move through soon.All in all? One of the first really good shopping experiences at Target in a long time. I hope the improvement continues, great job, and thank you!”

“I've been coming here for years, never had any issues. usually peaceful, undisturbed and quick, just how I like it. Usually I'm there for basic essentials, groceries, maybe cashing a check or money order or sending money”

“I was in the Tacoma area to run a marathon, so I stopped in here to buy some drinks. Everything was well organized in the drinks section, so the items that I was looking for were easy to find. The prices were also pretty reasonable. Since I only had a couple of items, I got in line to use one of the self checkout kiosks. It was a quick and easy transaction which is on par with almost every Target that I've visited.”

“Shout out to Carlson in back stock for helping me get specific milk that I needed in the back even though it wasn't his department. He went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. He's level of service is highly appreciated”
