Let's preface this is a chain grocery store. Why this location stands out is what makes it not only unique but a boutique to me. The stellar customer service is unmatched. I have yet to shop here where there is an unhappy employee. These people love delighting their customers. They wear a smile like it's their name tag! Maybe they are always smiling because of the clientele that shops here. This store is full of beautiful people. You can forget just wearing your sweats because The One might be standing in THAT aisle. Crap, the parking lot itself is a drool session if you love exotic fast cars.
When you finally peel yourself out of that side mirror for your IG selfie, inside the store is immaculate. The floral department can outdo 1800Flowers for half the cost and more the wow factor. The deli section is perfect for singletons with the most healthy made-to-order menu items. I suggest the chicken artichoke sandwich with their tomato basil soup. I feel healthy just ordering it especially in my gym clothes. My fave aisle is really the alcohol aisle, not for the obvious, it houses an in-store bar that you can catch a game while you sucker your shopping buddy to do the adult duties of checking off the grocery list. In fact, they offer a service where you can fill your own decanter of their beers on tap. Grab a seat at the bar and let Alex, the wine master, rattle off the top draft beers and wine suggestions to add to your home collection.
I have to admit it, grab a seat on the outside patio or inside lounge area (yes folks it is equipped with a flat screen and wi-fi), it is purely entertaining to see a grocery store be the hot spot on weekends. Naturally, I stand out in my gymrat sweats because Martha Stewart duties shouldn't be this sexy and require me to be dolled up. Happy hunting shoppers!!!
