| - I love this store. I don't know why, but I do.
I'll start with the reasons I shouldn't love it...okay, yes, produce is hot or not.. Sometimes they have THE BEST looking everything, and sometimes things are on their last leg.
Sometimes their prices beat everyone in town. Sometimes things are priced high.
Sometimes the employees grumble and seem annoyed but mostly NOT. It seems the owner runs a tight ship, so some stress is understandable... the attention to detail is usually obvious.
I love that they are owned and operated by a family. I do most of my shopping here regardless of any negative aspects. They try to bring things in that people request. They carry Chicago products that no one else carries. They have, in my opinion, a really good pizza whether you take & bake or get already made.
I guess I like the vibe, when I first shopped here I didn't "get it" it seemed weird, the food court and the store. Now, I just like it. It's different and it's small business in a way that chain supermarkets are not. I think it would fall in the "Locavore" category. They even carry locally produced stuff, Pahrump Valley Coffee & CJ's Custard are 2 of my favorites.
I love that I can bring my grandmother here and she can argue with the owner about pineapples. ;)
Please bring back CHINA MIST tea! It was my fave!
