sun-maid store

flyawaySanDiego

it is really a gift shop stop- no factory tour, but chance to buy in bulk from the store. I guess I expected more

I found out about Sunmaid when we forgot to exit the freeway, and we decided to stop there to have a look. You can't see the actual factory but the staff inside the shop are more than helpful to tell us a bit about raisins. There are free samples of raisins and they taste so fresh and nice!

Sun-Maid is a company that regularly demonstrates pride in its traditions and provides a consistent quality product. Its store is no different offering Sun-Maid food products, along with a well-chosen variety of decorative culinary and serving products. My personal favorite had always been the Raisin filled cookie mix which disappointingly, they no longer offer; however, I still shop for their other offerings. G. M. Merrill

I knew that there was not a factory tour, which is really a shame. But I did not realize how little information there is about raisins in the store. There are plenty of samples, which is nice. But I still don't know why there are raisin grapes vs. wine grapes, why the grapes have already been dried when they arrive on site, etc. That would have been interesting.

It was very cool. Great prices. Great signage easy to find. A fun trip. My daughter and I found great buys on dried fruit and nuts.

Stop whenyou can! I do! What a fun little store. Everything but a dancing raisin! Free samples. The freshest of the fresh. More raisin goodies and flavors and fruits and nuts and gift baskets, and flavor and the biggest Raisin box in the world out front. It is all cool and all part of the things that are grown in the big valley. This is a fun stop whence you are driving by and a very good place for those special odd gifts that might just stick out over a gift from a big box store!

We decided to stop by on a whim because of the freeway signs. The place was easy to find and parking was plentiful. The shop is located next to the Sun-Maid industrial complex. They have all the items that Sun-Maid produces and the prices are way better than those at regular stores. They ladies were very helpful and even gave us a shortcut to our next stop. We'll drop in every time we go up Hwy 99 again.

This is a neat place to drop by. There is pleny of parking and it is never crowded. They have a gift shop that is everything raisins. This is also a great place to buy your chocolate raisins...they have good prices there. Before buying, enjoy some free chocolate raisins samples...there are three types...regular milk chocolate covered, double dark chocolate raisins, and double milk chocolate raisins. All are good!Don't expect restrooms if you should need one...there are none there!I only wish they would have a tour of the plant...now that would be interesting!

While my husband was deployed I would send care packages full of Sun-Maid dried fruits. They are always delicious. I recently visited for my favorite--chocolate toffee covered Pistachios. They are pricey, but DEVINE! The staff are always willing to help me find what I need and suggest new items! If you're looking for a healthy alternative to candy, this is the place! (okay, they have candy, too...)My most recent visit was to send a care package to a friend's son in Afghanistan, he was very happy with his package of goodies!

Stopped here on my way to the airport in Fresno from Visalia. It is located right off the the freeway and connected to the actual plant that makes the raisins. The shop itself is pretty small, but they have a lot of raisins (obviously!) and other dried fruits and candies to purchase, along with a lot of other little trinkets. Its a cute place to stop for a quick look around if you're travaling by. Figured I had to stop here since California is so famous for their raisins and Sun Maid is such an iconic brand.

The lobby (where the restrooms are) has a nice variety of historical and art exhibits about the Sun Maid logo.

I grew up in Kingsburg and lots of the farmers who sell raisens to sunmaide are friends of my family. I now live away fom Ca. and when I see Sunmaide goods in the store i some how feel connected to home. I love going in to the Sun-Maid Store when I am home and stocking up on lots of goods I can not seem to find on the east coast. They also have lots of cute reproduction posters and items using retro marketing. Check it out!

Every kind of dried fruit Sunmaid makes. Chocolate covered stuff! Better than in regular store prices. Too bad there are no tours. We stop when we go by. No weekend hours, sad. Lots of gift non food suff as well. Not too well marked from 99. If you get the right exit, then it is pretty easy to find, A need to stop place.

One of the cool things you have in the Fresno area that doesn't take you long to go out and see. Did not see any opportunity for tours, but got a photo in front of the big raisin box and found cool things to bring back for presents for family and co-workers at the store. Plenty of raisin vines around to gawk as you drive

An amazing array of food and gift items. They must have a great buyer. And the dried fruit selections are outstanding. Some cannot be purchased anywhere else. These are the best raisins in the world!!!!
