REASORS please.  I'm tired of driving to 21st & Yale from Sand Springs to shop for groceries.

I'll give you an "amen" on that! Reasors are you listening? We are in DESPERATE need of a good grocery store!

Reasors has a store in Jenks that is roughly 3 miles from Tulsa Hills.

The Reasors in Jenks is not what I think of as a typical Reasors.  We live in Jenks but cross the river to grocery shop.  It is dirty and run down.  We figure it is because it is the only grocery store around.  Hopefully some competition will come in (at Tulsa Hills or the Walmart at 121st and 75) and they will clean it up.

I wonder if they have considered splitting the difference, shutting down the current Jenks location, and building two new ones (one more towards glenpool, one in Tulsa Hills) - Would seem to be a good strategy to me.  Jenks could surely use a good Christian supplies store or whatever have you that like to inhabit old grocery stores.

I shopped at the 15th reasors yesterday and was quite perplexed by the fact the crowds were far larger than when it was albertsons yet the prices were noticeably higher.

Albertsons didnt have catchy radio and TV marketing.  That probably does wonders for business, I can hear their slogan playing in my head as I type this.

There is a huge difference between what was Albertson's and what is now Reasor's at 15th and Lewis.  Albertson's was filthy and had a very limited selection of real food items.  Reasor's has cleaned the place up, got rid of about 3 or 4 aisles of nonfood items and replaced them with groceries.  They have cleaned up the meat counter.  There is now more than one or two live cashiers working and some times there are 5 cashiers working not including the self checkouts.  They have put depth to the selections on the shelves.  I will not wander into who is the most expensive fistfight, but selection, cleanliness, adaptive management, all reasons I shop at Reasor's and not some of the CHEAPER stores in town.  Good service makes me go back.  Walmart may be cheaper but there is no service and you have to check yourself out if you want to get out of the store in any timely manner.

Reasor's in Jenks isn't dirty, but it is dark becuase they store so much stuff in boxes above the isles, I think that gives the store the impression of being dirty.

This week they have been removing all of that stuff off of the tops of the shelves, I'm guessing trying to have a better appearance in the store with the so called "upscale" Glenpool Wal-Mart opening in the next month or two.

Reasor's actually has a very good selection of meats and produce. They are a bit higher in price on name brand goods so we actually split our shopping between Super Target, Reasor's and Wild Oats.

I was in the Brookside Food Pryamid this week and they are really improving that store. Starbucks is about to open and it's looking far cleaner and better organized than when it was Albertson's.

And don't get me started on Wal-Mart, I can't take the Supercenters, the employees are rude and the customers are more rude. The lines are intolerable and it's only cheaper if you by the flavorless crap Wal-mart brands. I was in the Wal-Mart grocery store at 96th and Delaware a couple of months ago and was trying to buy peaches and they were literally rotting on the display. The fruit was putrid and had the little flys all around them. I have not been back.

I hadnt been in a Wal-Mart for about 5 or 6 years but was forced to go into one, the supercenter by ORU, because a friend needed to get something there.  I was actually quite suprised at how much things had changed in the grocery section. The whole set up looked different and nicer. There were all kinds of products and selections that I had never seen and had certainly not seen in the Wal-Marts years ago. I actually kind of wanted to look around and see what was there lol. I kept thinking, "wow, its amazing what these common people can buy now"[]  The power of the masses I suppose. Who knew!?

Yeah, and we are starting a $200,000+ remodeling/expansion project in march to better the dairy and frozen food areas. Currently we have dairy stuff spread throughout the store (Dumb albertson's design).

This thread reminds me of a song from Texas. "The Hills Of Texas" Change around the words and lyrics to make it "The Hills Of Tulsa shopping center"[}:)]

I am going to have to go with one of you people into Reasors. I've been there at least fifty times and everytime the store was dirty, selection mediocre, prices outrageous, lines long, and customer service lousy. That's not to mention my perishable food spoiling usually within 48hrs. (and yes I refrigerated)

Have you seen the customers at Walmart?  They live off of a diet consisting entirely of Pepsi, Doritos, Twizzlers, and Jenos $1 frozen pizzas.  They don't know anything of this "Produce" that you speak of.  It is probably a case of the store having it there to have "selection", but its customer base having no interest in buying it - thus the inventory is never cleared out quick enough to have fresh product.

I've gotten to where I now go to the Neighborhood Market Wal-Mart at 21st and Yale.  It's clean and has a different feel to it than the other Neighborhood markets (maybe from being clean).

oh give me a break you little elitest punks.  Go to the Wal-Mart at 111th/Memorial.  The clientele there is FAR from what you describe.  You all are just talking up the streotypes that existed in rural wal-mart locations for quite some time.  Customers are different in each location.  The clientele at 68th/Mem are different from 111th and so on.  If you are TRULY encountering those types of people well then congratulations, those are your neighbors.  The fact that you live among a bunch of mouth breathers is of no surprise to me.

I shop at the Reasors at 41st and Yale for my groceries. It seems fine to me. I have never had to wait in a line with more than 2 or 3 people in it. If it looks like several lines have 3 or more people then they open up other lines. I have often seen the manager rush to open a line and run it himself so that people wont have to wait.

And your part of town surrounded by car lots, Charlie's Chicken, Carl's Jr and fireworks stands is so far superior.

(and way, way too good for a Target)

Hardly anyone who shops at 68th and memorial lives within 2 miles of it.
