| - I have become addicted to FM. Yes, the location is truly terrible and the parking lot small. However, once inside the store you're treated to a peaceful, clean, organic shopping experience where you can trust the food you're buying is excellent quality. The fruit and veggie selection isn't as large as what Whole Foods offers, but what they have is ripe, ready to eat, and at a good price. I most often find myself in FM for the bakery. I buy a lot of their fresh breads, pies, cookies, muffins, and donuts. Why? Because they're absolutely delicious and not loaded with fillers and chemicals. My family can enjoy the occasional treats and I don't have to spend hours in the kitchen baking. The fresh meats are excellent. The salads and sides are excellent, the take-home pizzas are winners. This is a really nice store and very different from Giant Eagle. The quality of GE's selection doesn't compare to FM, and the stress level in GE is almost the same as shopping in Wal-mart. My experience is in FM is always stress-free and the other customers are friendly. I cannot speak to the selection of gluten-free or allergen-free items at FM because we do not have these issues in our home, but generally speaking for families without food allergies, I highly recommend this store.
