This is the queen of all grocery stores. It puts AJ's and the upscale Safeways to shame.
Covered parking. In and of itself may be enough to get me shopping there exclusively in the summer months although I'm sure they can be hard to get in the summer months!
They have the shorter two level carts which are much nicer to use than a basket or the traditional cart.
Extensive this that and the other thing in everything. And a lot more of it. Every cultural food you can think of, then some more. Wine cellar and bar, sushi bar, lunch counter, deli counter, flowers all over, even a bedding section (and I bough a quilt set today, it was too pretty and nicely priced to pass up). There's even a jewelry store. I didn't see a day care though, wouldn't that just put it over the top!?
Valet parking and car washing is available while you shop. Really.
This is not for those in a rush to grab something fast and go. The upscale design and layout is casino like in i's intent to trap you in mazes of plentiful aisles. Best not to make your first trip in when you need to get in and out quickly.
