| - I like Sprouts...don't get me wrong...but something about this location just flat out sucks at times.
The parking in this lot is one of the worst things about this place. It is conveniently located right next to a 99 cent only store, which means a buttload of traffic on its own. The trick for this store is to park on the side of the store, located near the dry cleaner's and pizza shop. You don't have to deal with all the crazy old people, crazy young people, and kids running around the parking lot.
Secondly, this store is always ridiculously busy. I mean, seriously, wth? I have noticed that many customers can be rude if your cart happens to be in the way of their shopping experience. There are old people everywhere...no joke. Of all the Sprouts, this one tops the notch for customers 60+.
The variety and selection is great at this store. This is the reason I continue to come back. Fresh produce. Amazing brats. Wide selection of baked goods, breads, etc. The best granola in town. Lots of little unique things. I wish that they provided a little bit more selection in terms of fresh meat behind the counter. It always seems like they have the same items to select from each time I go. I have not purchased any fish from this location yet, but I did notice that they have cajun catfish on a regular basis, which ROCKS in my book. Still yet to try it.
Also, I really like the meat selection. When the meat is on sale, I buy it up. Most of the time their meat is comparable in price to other grocers, and the cut and quality is much better. For instance, I make homemade pollo asada with boneless/skinless chicken thighs. When I have purchased this cut of meat from other competitors, it is poorly cut and has loads of fat on it. When purchased from Sprouts, it is nicely packaged, minimal fat, and good cuts of meat.
I also really appreciate the variety of specialty meats, like their bison special or veal. I always like to try new meats and spruce up the feasts in my kitchen.
Another downfall to this location is the cashiering/check out. The lines are ALWAYS long and it seems like I wait in line nearly 10-15 minutes each time I am there. I ALWAYS get carded, even when it is the same person who checks me out each time. Do they not have that personal touch to remember my face or previous conversations? I am a tad disappointed in this. I also noticed that I frequently am not greeted when I leave or thanked after my purchases. For a grocery store of this genre I expected much more.
In either case, I like Sprouts. There food and selection deserves 4.5 stars, but the remaining aspects I wrote about drag my rating down considerably.
