I found five grocery stores in the city of Moscow, Idaho, in six locations: a member-owned food co-op with a main store and a campus location, an employee-owned supermarket, two conventional supermarkets, and a Walmart Supercenter with a grocery department. This guide lists what each store's own website says about its address, departments, and services as of October 21, 2026.
| Store | Address | Type | Suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moscow Food Co-op | 121 East 5th Street (main store); 822 Elm Street (Co-op on Campus) | Cooperatively owned grocery store, open to everyone | A member-owned store with a deli, bakehouse, bulk, and meat department |
| Rosauers | 411 North Main Street | Regional supermarket with a pharmacy | A supermarket trip that includes an in-store pharmacy |
| Safeway | 1320 S Blaine St | Full-service supermarket | One stop for groceries, pharmacy, a Starbucks cafe, and pickup or delivery |
| WinCo Foods | 1700 W Pullman Rd | Employee-owned supermarket | A shopper who wants an employee-owned store with bulk bins |
| Walmart Supercenter | 2470 W Pullman Rd | Supercenter with grocery | Groceries and general merchandise in one trip |
The Moscow Food Co-op describes itself as a cooperatively owned grocery store that is open to everyone, and says it has operated since 1973. Its site says it is owned by thousands of its neighbors, and owners get extra perks, savings, and a say in the co-op's future. The main store is at 121 East 5th Street. A second location, the Co-op on Campus, is at 822 Elm Street on the University of Idaho campus, across from the Hello Walk. The campus location describes its offering as organic coffee, house-baked pastries, and grab-and-go food, so it works more like a cafe counter than a full grocery floor.
What it's best for: A shopper who wants a member-owned store, per its own site, with a deli and cafe, a bakehouse, a meat department, and a bulk department under one roof. The campus location suits a quick coffee or grab-and-go stop on campus.
Good to know
Jordan's take: Great bakery and deli sections with unique locally owned options. Similar to Whole Foods.
Rosauers began as a Spokane-based business in 1934, according to the company's site, and now operates 23 stores across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. The Moscow store is at 411 North Main Street. The Moscow Chamber of Commerce directory lists it under Grocery Store and describes it as a regional grocery chain with in-store shopping and online ordering, with delivery or curbside pickup options.
What it's best for: A weekly stock-up trip that includes a pharmacy, because the Moscow store page lists a pharmacy with its own phone number and hours.
Good to know
Jordan's take: Same take as the Pullman store: a Spokane-based Eastern Washington regional chain with a great bakery that also features Huckleberry's Natural Market items.
The Safeway at 1320 S Blaine St is the only Safeway in Moscow. Its store page describes the location as near the University of Idaho and lists bakery, deli, floral, produce, meat and seafood, and pharmacy departments, along with beer, wine, and liquor.
What it's best for: A one-stop trip that combines groceries with a pharmacy, a Starbucks cafe, and DriveUp and Go pickup or grocery delivery, all of which the store page lists.
Good to know
Jordan's take: Same take as the Pullman store: a solid all-around grocery store.
WinCo's store locator lists the Moscow store at 1700 W Pullman Rd. The company's About Us page says WinCo is employee-owned through an employee stock ownership plan, which employees established in 1985. The same page traces the company back to a no-frills, warehouse-style grocery store opened in Boise in 1967, and mentions bulk bins and customers bagging their own purchases.
What it's best for: A shopper who wants an employee-owned store, per the company's own site, and who is interested in buying from bulk bins.
Good to know
Jordan's take: Very competitive prices, an employee-owned company, and some items you won't find elsewhere. Bring a debit card or cash, because WinCo does not take credit cards.
WinCo's own FAQ, as quoted by Payments Journal, says it does not accept credit cards. It lists cash, debit, WIC and EBT, and checks that meet its requirements.
The Moscow Walmart Supercenter (store 5869) is at 2470 W Pullman Rd. Its store page says it is 1.9 miles from the University of Idaho and lists grocery, deli, bakery, and pharmacy services alongside departments such as electronics, hardware, furniture, and a garden center.
What it's best for: A trip that combines groceries with general merchandise, because the store page lists grocery, deli, bakery, and pharmacy along with hardware, electronics, and a garden center.
Good to know
Jordan's take: Same take as the Pullman store: often has the lowest priced grocery items, with more selection for one-stop shopping.
The Moscow Farmers Market is not a grocery store, but it is part of how people buy food in town. The Moscow Chamber of Commerce says it runs on portions of Main, 5th, and 4th Streets, May through October, Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., rain or shine. The Chamber also says it accepts SNAP/EBT through the Shop The Market program.
Jordan's take: A great supplement to your grocery shopping, with very local, unique items. Buy direct from the farmers, owners, and suppliers. A fun experience.
The five stores differ in ownership and in what they list. The Moscow Food Co-op is member-owned, with a deli, bakehouse, bulk, and meat department, plus a campus location. Rosauers and Safeway are supermarkets that each list a pharmacy, and Safeway also lists a Starbucks cafe and pickup and delivery. WinCo is employee-owned and its company page mentions bulk bins. Walmart is a Supercenter that lists grocery along with general merchandise.
Moscow has the Moscow Food Co-op, Rosauers, Safeway, WinCo Foods, and a Walmart Supercenter. The Co-op also has a campus location on Elm Street. The Moscow Farmers Market adds Saturday local and regional agricultural products from May through October, per the Chamber.

Rosauers, Safeway, and Walmart. Each store's own page lists a pharmacy: Rosauers at 411 North Main Street, Safeway at 1320 S Blaine St, and Walmart at 2470 W Pullman Rd. Each page lists pharmacy hours separately from store hours.
Safeway lists DriveUp and Go pickup and grocery delivery. The Chamber's Rosauers listing mentions online ordering with delivery or curbside pickup. Walmart's page mentions Walmart+ delivery from the store. The Co-op's site does not mention pickup or delivery.

Thinking about a move? Start with the relocation resource, read Jordan's Moscow area guide, and see how to set up a pharmacy after a move or a Palouse Saturday with two farmers markets. When you are ready to talk, contact Jordan or call 509-288-0082.
