  I have to give a 3 star. While the business and operational standpoint is awesome. The customer service is fantastic, they really give the community a positive feel.
  
  What kills me is that the products are generally 20%-40% overpriced compared to the stiff competition nearby: Albertson's/Safeway (-- granted they are the same company no), along with Costco nearby, a Food-4-Less, Gorcery Outlet, and Winco all a 5 minute drive away...its hard to really love Bales completely if they cannot be competitive.
  
  I really only shop here now if i have to pick up one or two items and I am in a hurry, but even sometimes right next door, I can still walk next door to the Rite Aid and still only get hit with a 10% markup compared to the 20-40% here.
  
  Its a shame, but i really hope that whomever reads this here that they understand that really you do miss out on customers more for a markup than just nice people. Its the pocketbooks that matter in this business than anything else...

  The store has a very open layout and a great wine selection as well as a nice and helpful butcher shop and they appear to smoke their own meats in house. The prices on items are a bit on the high side, but they do carry some more obscure items and a have a reasonable fresh juice and prepared selection. Probably the best deal on donuts around town, I often stop by before work to pick up a dozen for my team.
