| - I was pleasantly surprised on my first visit here. I was there between 10:30 & 11:30am.
Very clean store, smaller, but with plenty of choices for anything you want - but not overwhelmingly so, which can be refreshing really. Good value with store brands.
The produce department is small, but well kept, fresh and clean with plenty of choices. It's on the right as soon as you come in the door which is a good placement for the that as most people turn right into a store. Some organic options available in the meat department where it makes the most difference to me.
One thing I noticed is they are lacking on the low-fat, low-salt options that I know are available for several items I was looking at. I was surprised at that because it seems that their clientele is a lot of minority or lower-income and would benefit from those options.
The staff were all friendly, especially Britany in the Deli department.
I found the pricing and options sufficient for my needs and though it isn't always convenient, it was this day. I checked out with my own reusable bags and the checkout girl didn't seem to know what to do with them. I told her I'd bag my groceries myself if she wanted me to, but she was game and pleasantly took care of them for me.
As noted, I went during the morning and it was mostly retirees in the store. About the time I left though, there was an influx of ... a bit of weirdness. Maybe it's just my lack of diverse experiences, but I was glad I was heading out.
I don't know that I'd want to be in here in the evenings. I hate to say that, but sometimes, that's just the way it is.
