What's That Smell at
Reedley SaveMart?

Walk through those doors and you're hit with a stench so bad it makes you question everything about grocery shopping. And yeah, it follows you home on your clothes. What the hell is going on here?

We Need Answers

Look, we can handle the dated interior. We'll survive the mediocre produce. But this smell? This is where we draw the line.

This Is NOT Normal

SaveMart was our go-to grocery store. Clean. Well-stocked. Professional. Now? It's like walking into a war crime. We deserve answers.

What Are They Doing?

The deli's doing something ungodly. Is it the rotisserie? Deep fryers gone wrong? Some forbidden cooking technique? Whatever it is, it needs to stop.

The Damage

The stench follows you home. It's in your clothes, your hair, your car. You can't just shop here casually anymore - it's a commitment to smelling terrible.

Management?? Hello??

How is this acceptable? Where's the ventilation? Why subject your employees and customers to this daily assault on their senses? Make it make sense!

Just went to SaveMart in Reedley and couldn't believe the smell! Had to leave without getting half my groceries. This is getting ridiculous - how is this still not fixed?

Third time this week the smell was unbearable. Anyone else notice it's getting worse?

My clothes still smell from my shopping trip yesterday. This is a serious health concern at this point! @ReedleyHealth needs to investigate

Used to love shopping here but that smell is a deal-breaker. Driving 20 minutes extra to shop elsewhere until this gets resolved!

Does anyone else think the smell is getting worse? Just went in to grab milk and almost gagged. Never experienced anything like this in a grocery store before.

YES! I was just there yesterday. Had to hold my breath while getting through the produce section. Something is seriously wrong.

I work at the coffee shop next door and our customers keep asking if WE have a plumbing issue. It's affecting all the nearby businesses too!

@Lisa Martinez - I was wondering about that! Have you guys talked to SaveMart management about it?

They keep giving us the runaround. 'We're investigating the issue' for 3 months now

Called the health department today. They said they've received multiple complaints and are launching an investigation. Finally!

Thank goodness! Please keep us updated on what they say. I've been driving an extra 20 minutes to shop at FoodMax instead.

Same here. The extra drive is worth it to not deal with this smell. My kids refuse to come shopping with me here anymore.
