I loved this store, But specifically I really liked this guy named Jake at the deli section. He was super friendly and very helpful he really deserves a raise or something for his good work. Hopefully a manager or something sees this. Keep up the good work jake!

This commissary seems to have products that Fort Carson commissary dont have. German bread and cheese, seafood and much more. I Will definitely go 10 miles out of the way just to shop here.

Pretty good as far as commissaries go. Not all of the food is cheaper than out in town but most of it is, fyi. Usually not that busy.

Review №8

The shelves arent as full as they should. Prices are starting to be better in the local community. Normally not to crowded in the middle of the day.

The commissary is exactly what you would expect...hit or miss. Over the last few years we have had only minor issues with staff, products, or facilities. Meat tends to be cheaper in both price and quality, same goes for produce.

It was busy as usual for a weekend day, but everything was moving along efficiently. There were some bare shelves, but its almost Memorial Day and folks are shopping for cookouts and parties now that things are getting back to a semi normal state. Who doesnt love that? Ill cut some slack for that any day! =)

If you go early enough in the morning, its not too packed. My three biggest complaints are:1) Fruifs and vegetables ripen/ rot quickly2) Not enough organic produce3) I wish the commissary was able to sell local/ regional stuff.

Im a caregiver and I took my client to purchase some food and in my own opinion I think the commissary is extremely expensive.The store needs a deep cleaning, I was so surprised to see how messy and dirty it was.

Review №25

I would leave a 5/5 star but theres this rude lady thats always there named COLLEEN. Its been multiple times going there where shes given my wife and I attitude for no reason. Fussing at us telling us NO, GO BACK AND GET IN LINE and getting mad at us because she couldnt find the price for an item. Other than that, the commissary here is really nice.

Review №27

They have many item stacked in 3 different places. Like mixed nuts. Street taco flour tortillas we way in the back while I was looking for them with all the other tortillas. They also dont have enough electric mobile shopping carts because they cant be plugged in long enough NOT to die halfway thru the store. Variety was good.

Review №32

I mean its a commissary haha. Not bad as far as commissaries in general go. The lines can get pretty bad sometimes.The meat is so unbelievably cheap, and this store carries most of the grocery items you would get at Walmary/King Soopers/Safeway/ETC. The produce here is of good quality but lacks variety.Important to note that you need base access to shop here, and if you are not using the self checkout it is expected that you have a cash tip for a bagger.

Review №33

Produce ,like lettuce vegetables are no good,and so are the meat i will not buy there.And you got to watch the expiration on everything ,seems close to expiration on most items.

This week I brought my kids in and we were shopping peacefully and I asked this older lady who said she was a store manager where my daughters favorite apples were and she rolled her eyes and told me to find someone who knows because she didn’t. She said it so nasty my daughter started to cry it was a horrible experience I don’t think I’ll be coming back.

Peterson Commissary is usually great, but because of COVID19 the pickings are slim especially the meats. Other than that facility is clean the workers are very accommodating.

Not too crowded. Carryout person was very friendly.

Review №73

Friendly service, mostly clean, and well organized. However, I find it concerning when prices for our soldiers continue to rise. Many items in the commissary are no longer a bargain. This is most noticable in the produce department and in the deli. It seems prices here, just like in the BX, are catering to the officers and not the Junior enlisted as it should be. $138 used to buy a shopping cart full of food. Today, it purchased four bags of food and we were not able to purchase healthier items due to cost! Many items can be purchased off base for the same price or lower. And though the service charge is not tagged as such, it is nothing more than a 10%+ tax on our food this making the commissary an overpriced, low quality store. Our service members deserve better.

Da
Review №74

Almost as bad as the USAFA commissary. After every trip we need to shop at King Soopers or Walmart to get all the items the commissary doesnt have.

Review №78

Great commissary, Great Staff. But the meat is unpalatable. Not sure if its old or even beef; definitely not goid.

Jo
Review №79

Awesome selection of different kinds of food at great prices. The fruits and vegetables are not of the highest quality or have the best prices and that’s my reason for the four star rating. The location is nice on Peterson Air Force Base on the south side of Colorado Springs.

They closed the commissary for active only between 9 and 10. I get it BUT advertise it!!!! Well done....bunch of old people lined up outside waiting. Pffffft

New BX and commissary. Located on the back side of Peterson AFB. Hadnt been back here for 35 years and the base has been changed so much I got lost several times. More trees and all the buildings have been updated and upgraded. Beautiful base!

Very dice and clean store, produce dept looks amazing.

Review №83

Good, affordable. Produce could be better and the baggers are kind of pushy about tips. I am aware now thats there only pay, but the signs informing people of that should be more visible for the shoppers.

Past few times Ive been in here the self checkout lady has been ****ing rude to myself and others

Review №86

This is a new facility right next to the BX on the east side of the runway. Prices, especially for meat are good, and most other items are at least comparable to the rest of the city. Lots of kiosks and shops in the mall it shares with BX. Large food court, Starbucks, and barber shop to name a few.

Very affordable meat and carbohydrates. Dairy, veggies, fruit, housewares, nuts etc are usually slightly more expensive than Walmart. Good variety of foreign foods. Shopping here does contribute to the mwr fund... Star card is accepted which lets me churn points for gift cards.

Commissary was coming off its inventory and the shelves were a little bare - not unexpected. Patrons and staff were all IAW rules for COVID.
