| - Community Natural Foods recently opened a new health food store in Crowfoot. While the facade is a little too reminiscent of the Denny's next door, the interior of the store is by far the local chain's best- well-lit, well-marked, organized spacious aisles. They stock a solid selection of organic foods, including lots of great produce, a wide assortment of cheeses (local buffalo mozzarella!), many bulk foods, reasonably-priced mass market health foods, organic dairy, and a refrigerator full of fresh grab-and-go meals (I'm sure there's meat too but I don't eat it so I didn't bother looking). They also carry lots of supplements and natural personal care products. Most prices were on par or a little bit cheaper than at nearby Amaranth, probably due to CNF's increased buying power. I found staff at the cash register to be friendly and polite, while I didn't notice many (any?) employees circulating the rest of the store. If you did have a question, however, there is a customer service desk at the front of the store.
I recommend approaching the store by driving along John Laurie, turning left at the set of lights AFTER the YMCA and then turning right onto Crowfoot Crescent. With CNF and a new Hudson's sharing a parking lot this place can be busy, and coming from the other direction can have you waiting to turn left in the parking lot for ages (in fact, there was a parking attendant on site today to deal with the huge new influx of cars). Or, of course, save a tree and walk!
