| - I frequented Reid's for the first time last weekend and was overjoyed by the "cool" factor the retailer offers. Very bright and hip, Reid's is a small, fresh, corner grocery with a fairly significant prepared foods section. There's a gorgeous bar that would be a unique place to meet for a post-work beverage. However, not much else differentiates Reid's from Dean and Deluca or any of the higher-end grocery stores (Earth Fare, Trader Joe's, the soon-to-open South Park Whole Foods).
The "aisles" were too crowded to pleasantly explore, and I constantly felt like I was in someone's way. Similarly, the prices were also unnerving, although I assume that's what they're going for. There were a few tastings going on last Saturday, and the quality of everything I tried was good. But I guess I just don't get what makes Reid's special yet... the question is, do they?
