To be honest when I heard of Longos hitting downtown. I didn't think it would make such a big splash. (I've shopped at Longos in the suburbs).
However this downtown design concept of 'fresh and trendy' appeals with the young professionals that frequent this spot. Just coming down the escalators one can get a sense of this urban grocery with quick glance.
Under the reveal though , in terms of pure selection, it's actually not that extensive in my opinion. It's alright. There's nothing really stand out in any of the departments where I MUST SHOP AT LONGOS for this.
Trendy things are; the cooking class station, the pre-made meals/sandwiches, the smorgasbord board of prepared foods, Starbucks, the wood fire pizza section, and a sushi stop.
Though it may not have the greatest selection of items, it's good store though and fulfills its target market. it is the best grocery in the immediate area.
