Why is WinCo Foods so secretive about their contact information?

Answer 1

Winco strives for higher standards when taking care of its employee /owners. When Winco negotiates its employees pay scale contract, they must wait until the Local Grocery workers Union is finished with theirs in order to be wage/ benefit competitive in that particular area. They will use the competition's contract to determine prevailing wages and beat them.

The above doesn't answer the question about CONTACT information, as the question asks.

The above answer is great for contract info, but not contact. The reasons are many. One is that the store is not staffed to deal with numerous phone calls. Company policy is not to give prices over the phone, which is a large majority of the calls that would come. There is also talk that there are fees for listing phone numbers. However, contact information is not hidden. The phone numbers are usually on the receipt you get, and WinCo does have facebook and twitter that can be used for communication. There are also customer comment cards available at the checkstands that you can take to send to company headquarters.
