| - This is probably one of the smaller locations in town, as it used to be Wild Oats years ago (I shopped here when it was Wild Oats and my office was across the street; found lots of Amy's Organic products, like spinach feta pockets and spinach pizza). We were on this side of town yesterday. When you walk in, produce is to your right, followed by aisles with bulk food, condiments, sauces, dressings. The next two aisles are frozen foods. (On the back side is the meat department, followed by the cheese department, and finally wine, section.) Past the frozen foods, is the spice section, followed by the health/vitamin supplement section, followed by the cereal, yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu section. Juices and chips precede the Salad Bar and deli sections. Cashiers are toward the front; there are a few tables to enjoy the salad bar, situated in the very front of the store.
I still needed some staples for my low-sodium diet (going on a month now) so we stopped here after having lunch. I'd been having a hard time finding "no-salt added" beans, corns, tomatoes, hot sauce (low-sodium), mustard, salad dressings (which seem to be the worst salt offenders, besides the other condiments), chicken broth and granola (10 mg). I found them all here! I tried searching for low-sodium cheese but had no luck. Also spotted a good selection of dried fruits, except the prices were not clearly marked. If you're looking for fruit to put in your smoothies, go to the freezer section, most were marked $2.99 per bag- strawberries, bananas, etc. (cheaper than our local Albertson's, we still needed some things). If you're a fan of Bubbie's Frozen Mochi (Hawaii vacationers would be familiar), there are limited flavors sold here, too.
I was happy to finally end up with lots of no-salt or low-sodium choices. As always, the prices are slightly higher, but that's ok. I knew going into this, that special diets require more time, attention, and an up-front cost. I took a lot of time reading labels. Good thing, my hubby was checking things out and shopping for himself too. (The last store I need to check out is Sunflower.) If you prefer Organic, have a special diet, like me, or just want food with less gluten, less preservatives, less pesticides, shop here.
There were a few other customers shopping here but I didn't think it was crowded at any point. Everything is similar to how it was set up before it became a Whole Foods store, so I was very familiar with the store arrangement. I noticed a few people stocking the shelves. The store is clean and in order. Large parking lot in the Strip Mall location.
