Near me, the QFC is tiny compared to the Fred Meyer stores. It's much more convenient to get in and get out quickly. Prices are higher than Fred Meyer on most things so we tend to use it for items we ran out of and do our weekly shopping elsewhere. There's a lot of Kroger-labeled things on the shelves, so it's clear they're owned by the same company. Another option are the organic-only stores, like Natural Grocers.

>Near me, the QFC is tiny compared to the Fred Meyer stores. QFCs are essentially just the "Grocery" department from Fred Meyer. Remove Home Goods, Apparel and Electronics from FM and you've got yourself a QFC. Edit: Someone step in here and correct me if I'm wrong, but that's Kroger's basic MO. Even Ralph's and their Kroger-branded stores just feel like the exact same grocery store as QFC and FM's grocery department. And (sorry to rant, lol), yeah, a dude named Fred Meyer in Portland really did found the store in the 1920's, but do y'all have to put his picture and a big spiel about him and "local community" up at the front of your store when we all know that the present-day reality of FM is bullshit?
