| - Have recently switched to shopping in this store- even though it's further away than my closest supermarkets-of-a-different-name because...
-Love their wide variety of cheeses- (definitely the place to go if you're putting together a cheese platter - I'd say even better than Trader's),
-Many wine varieties with 20% off of 6 purchased wines (try their "Provincial" boxed wine, it's a decent wine especially when bought at the 20% off price-and I have only ever seen it here)- speaking of wines, they have a free in-store speedy wine chiller, what great service/attention to detail.
-Their produce is typically beautiful and lots of organic options mostly at competitive prices. IME their produce seems to "keep" longer than other stores, too.
-Their meat department has good sales and specials also serving lots of organic options.
Overall, their prices are competitive across the board. In fact, I processed an on-line grocery order and compared the same order to Von's delivery service- it was a savings of 25% for the whole order before any service fees! SO LET'S TALK about online ordering- place your order online and your first 3 curbside pickups are FREE. So convenient!! After that, the $4.95 fee still looks pretty good, when you consider their sales and deals on groceries, etc.. also recommend opting in for their emails & check around on-line before ordering, because seasonally or randomly I'll get coupon codes for $10, $20 off if an order-over-a-certain-amount. The savings in shopping time is worth it enough, then you're in the bonus round if you get the codes!
The ambiance and layout are great if you are shopping in-store- it's light and bright. The staff literally offer a smile from the minute you walk in. There's a genuine brightness throughout, which makes for a pleasant experience.
Another favorite feature are the bins/wholesale dispensers; you can measure only what you need, which keeps our family from wasting, that all too often happens with granolas and such. Plus, you can find a large variety of non-prepackaged items in their bins that you can't typically find in the usual groceries. And last, their olive bar is always looking *fresh*, very clean- try their dolmas, their green olives are a better deal, more variety and better quality than the bottled versions, and their marinated artichokes are another fave.
We order sushi platters for parties a few times a year- really can't be more convenient, great service & great quality- I highly recommend customizing a platter.
Overall, it seems like they've found a good way to merge all of my favorite things from multiple other stores into this one, so it's become more of a one-stop shop. Used to have 3-5 stores to stop in throughout the week to get our family's favorite- Organics, cheeses, specialty items and wines from Traders, organic produce and wholesale bins/cereals from Spouts, deli meats/bakery and grocery deals in Walmart, Von's for sushi, Glaziers for last minute needs close to home - any who, I have found comparable or better here at competitive pricing, so I really couldn't be happier.
