| - THE UP-SIDE: Heinen's Supermarkets have always been a step above the rest. This location is no exception.
Having recently been forced to go gluten-free, Heinen's has been a godsend. First off, they have a nice section featuring gluten-free items. The offerings are all quality stuff - good tasting and made to the standards I need to stay healthy.
Secondly, throughout the entire store, there are little pop-out signs that denote certified gluten-free offerings. So, as you're breezing down an aisle - say, chip and pretzel area - tiny signs jump out at you and say, "Hey, you! Gluten Boy! No need to be sad you can't eat all this junk! We've got a ton of stuff right down here made gluten-free!" This sort of attention to getting my attention makes going gluten-free a lot easier than it might be otherwise.
Third, this location will actually give you a tour of their store and point out how to best shop there and be gluten-free. Win!
Fourth, the freezer section has much gluten-free food, and offers the one and only tasty gluten-free bread - "Udi's." Thank god for Udi's Bread. It's keeping me high in sandwiches. :-)
THE DOWN-SIDE: None. Zero. Nada.
THE SUM-IT-UP: This place rocks.
