Have you ever been in a brand new grocery store? Not remodeled, not redesigned, but built from the ground up just a few months ago? This is a brand new Albertson's and it is stunning. It could be a model for all grocery stores in some far future museum. Every shelf is filled. Every bottle is faced and on the edge. There are no extremely high shelves. There are no dirty floors. The ice on the seafood is fresh. There are no smudges on the freezer doors.
On the other hand, it is just a grocery store. Now it does have a very impressive Kosher selection (even with signs pointing out non-Kosher items). But the cheese and vegetable selections are not as good as Whole Foods. There are some, but not a wide variety of gourmet items. The bread selection is plebeian. It's just your average every day grocery store...but beautiful.
