| - LOVE LOVE LOVE.
I've just moved to the East Valley from CA and I'm so glad this new location is near my home.
The place is super clean, organized, and inviting. (Actually, I told my hubby that this was the prettiest grocery store I'd seen in a long time...probably means I need to get out a bit more often! ;) ) I've been to tons of WholeFoods, Sprouts, TJ's, Ralph's, Gelson's, and Bristol Farms in the past but haven't really seen a market more well designed.
It was also nice to see that the pharmacy area is pretty much like what you'd find in a Target-lots of products and decent prices. (Makes one stop shopping easier when you don't feel like running to another place for shapmpoo etc.) This location also has CLOTHING and SHOES. Who knew you could stock up on your cheese and wine while grabbing your Carhartts?
There is also a wine bar and reportedly, though I've not tried it, place where you can pick out the perfect steak and have them grill it to dine in right in store. (Pretty cool) I also noticed a frozen section where you can get a container and get dishes that are all set to cook at home...like shrimp and veggies etc...like fresh, frozen time savers-but instead of grabbing a bag of it, you can control the portion and what's in your dish and pay by the pound. Kinda cool.
Also included are a chicken wing hot bar, with like 10 different styles of wings ready to eat. I always see folks grabbing them!
Lastly, I've also interacted with several of the staff members who were all very helpful and friendly. Regina in the self checkout is particularly cool-she helped me get a rewards card set up on the spot and was really welcoming. :) All in all, I'm hooked on my new neighborhood market!
