| - When I first moved out to Middleton I split my grocery-shopping between the two aged Sentry and Kohl's stores, neither of which were altogether satisfactory but was still slightly better than driving to Woodman's and fighting the crowds. When Kohl's became Copps not much changed, until one day I learned the store was closing and reopening in the Frank Lloyd Wright development further up Century. About a month after the store opened I visited it for the first time, and I was highly impressed. The layout is much more user-friendly and modern. I especially like how the produce and deli sections come together, so you quickly can pick up meals-to-go and hit the salad bar right after walking in. Another nice feature of the aisle layout is the "Natural & Organic" shelves. In each section there is shelf space devoted to the natural and organic varieties, which makes them much easier to find then when everything is by brand. I've recently found myself utilizing the self-checkouts when I am only buying a few items, and it is incredibly convenient. I used to wait until I was out of just about everything to go to the store, but now I'm in and out in five minutes flat. I can't believe I never did this before.
I especially enjoy the organic produce being the first thing you see as you come in the doors. The Farmers Market is great, but if you just need a tomato or an onion they're right there. The deli and the salad bar are always reliable, though I tend to get off work fairly l late and selections can get picked over. Just last night I discovered they sell sushi boxes, and I thought mine was very good - though the single soy sauce packet wasn't quite enough. The check-out staff have always been quick and friendly, and once when an item slipped out of the bag at the counter the bagger chased me out to my car to return it to me.
The drawbacks of the store are that the prices are generally higher than Woodman's and the selection can be a bit sparse. I almost always find what I need, but there is always one item that is either no longer stocked or out of stock when I'm there, which can be really frustrating. There used to be a bit of a wait for check-out but now with the self-checkouts this isn't much of a problem. I also found that it is best not to go shopping on Sunday nights since much more seems to be out of stock. Also, the parking lot can get a bit hectic especially on weekends. Overall there's not much to dislike about the place, and it serves as a great anchor for the entire commercial development there.
