I decided to visit the new Smith's Marketplace and I was pleasantly surprised. This new grocery store is a shopping experience. This place is for the shopper that wants to grocery shopping and pick up a few essentials with good prices. I hate shopping at Walmart because it is always crowded and is huge. You can spend a whole day in Walmart this place is awesome because it has all your needs in a smaller space. Also I really like the fresh department with salad bar and ready to go meals. It remind me of Whole Foods but not the prices. Merchandising of the store was good and flowed really well. It was setup well for that impulse items while shopping and they had some really nice things.
The only thing I was confused was all the makeup was locked up. You had to press a button to get service. I know these items get stolen a lot but when a person is shopping for makeup, you like to pick up the products read and choose which one. I will probably buy my makeup somewhere else.
In general it was a pleasant shopping experience and I will be back!
