Fred Meyer’s $12.4 million remodel includes a revamped wine and brew shop, grocery pick-up service and a new Starbucks.
It’s the Wellsian Way store’s first remodel in more than a decade and has transformed the inside of the store that opened in November 1981.
The project nearly doubled the size of the grocery department.
But shoppers can avoid setting foot in the store altogether with the store’s Click List online grocery ordering program. The service allows customers to place an order online and pick up their bagged groceries from the convenience of their car.
The electronics shop has been replaced with a beverage shop called Freddy’s Cork and Tap, where customers can fill growlers and choose from a more extensive selection of microbrews, wine and liquor.
A Starbucks has returned to the store after the coffee shop closed a location on site last summer.
Vandervert Construction of Spokane was the general contractor.
