Lucky

Besides being a fantastic store with fresh foods and nice selection, they have an outdoor covered patio with huge tv for sports and dj out there spinning fun vibe, impressive!

Nicest Lucky (grocery?) store I’ve ever been to. Cleaner and better stocked then nearly every other super market. The fresh food selections are amazing. Love the ramen bowls, but miss the salmon plate no longer available. My boys like to visit me at work to walk over for lunch. Very nice patio with big TV’s also make for good viewing special midday events like the world cup or Olympics. (Would have never imagined rating a grocery store—nice work Lucky’s!)

It has a nice upscale feel to the store now with a bar, outdoor eating area with TVs, food courts and a walk-in beer room.

Wow what a surprise. Most Lucky's are kind of lower end stores. Not this one. Selection is fantastic and they have an impressive selection of food ready to eat for lunch. They have a special beer section that is a whole walk in refrigerated area with craft beers. A huge wine area, not the usual supermarket stuff. They even have delicacies like Panettone that is a beloved northern Italian Christmas cake. You can have your new your strip or prime rib dry aged to your specification (I believe 28 to 60 days) for a price that, after all, is very competitive. I was really impressed and any time I'm in Pleasanton I'll make sure to visit this place.
The only problem is that... All of the above higher end experience is somewhat ruined by the ugly looking cracked concrete floors. Surely there must be a process during polishing where they can fix them instead of showing all the cracks? Incredible.

Being newly remodeled, this is the first Lucky store that I have been to as the older format stores never really attracted me. The vibe is quite hip and they're certainly going for an upscale experience. Certainly, this store has something for everyone and I found a wide variety of products. But here's why this will not be my regular go-to store: Prices. Alas, the prices here are quite "upscale" too and there's a 75-200% mark-up on almost everything compared to say WalMart prices, which we can take as a minimum. No one should expect WalMart like prices, but there is a point after which the cost get ridiculous. I have been to far more upscale stores like Wegmans on the East Coast, where I was a regular shopper, but the prices there were the same as in Target. But make no mistake, this is a great place which you should check out. The in-store restaurants look amazing too and I will be ordering something from there on my next trip.
